DEPRESSION

Depression can make even simple things feel heavy and exhausting. If you feel numb, disconnected, or like you’re just going through the motions, you’re not alone. I provide depression therapy in Los Angeles and Encino, with online therapy available anywhere in California. We’ll work together to understand the roots of your sadness, reduce self-criticism, and help you feel more engaged and connected to your life again.

How I Work With Depression

We’ll work collaboratively and at your pace to understand what you’re going through and to gently support relief and reconnection with your life.

My approach blends warmth and evidence-based care, including:

• Behavioral Activation — increasing small, meaningful activities to help lift mood and motivation

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) strategies — identifying and shifting patterns of negative or self-critical thinking

• Mindfulness-based approaches — learning to notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) — reconnecting with values and taking steps toward what matters, even when emotions are heavy

• Narrative Therapy — externalizing you from the depression and strengthening your sense of identity beyond it

Together, we’ll focus on:

• reducing isolation and increasing support

• building energy and motivation through small, gentle steps

• softening harsh self-judgment

• finding meaning and direction again

You’re not weak or broken for feeling this way. With the right support, it’s possible to understand what’s happening, feel less alone with it, and gradually reconnect with the parts of your life that matter to you.
