Resilience grows from understanding our deepest struggles.
What Depression Looks Like
Depression drains the color from daily life, leaving a persistent heaviness that makes even simple tasks require immense effort. Activities that once brought joy feel empty. Sleep patterns change drastically—either too much or too little. Self-criticism becomes your constant companion while motivation disappears. Parenting feels overwhelming. Cultural expectations become impossible burdens. Relationships suffer as you withdraw. Energy reserves deplete quickly. Physical symptoms like headaches and digestive issues emerge without explanation. Despite this darkness, your capacity for joy and meaning remains intact, though temporarily obscured. Recovery happens gradually, but it begins with a single step toward understanding and healing.
Depression Treatment Approach
I blend multiple evidence-based approaches to create a comprehensive treatment plan for your depression. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness practices, we address both immediate symptoms and deeper patterns. ACT helps you reconnect with your values while developing psychological flexibility. DBT provides concrete skills for emotional regulation when feelings become overwhelming. My integrative approach examines how past experiences shape current feelings, creating space to process difficult emotions with sensitivity and care. Our work acknowledges the physical, emotional, and cultural dimensions of depression, fostering authentic healing that honors your unique story.
