Depression can leave you feeling isolated and alone, even when surrounded by people who care. It may seem like no one truly understands your experience, trapping you in a cycle of sadness and hopelessness. I’m here to work with you step by step to uncover the roots of your depression and help you find a path toward healing and hope.

Sometimes depression acts as a form of self-punishment, where you blame yourself for past mistakes or perceived failures. This harsh self-criticism can deepen feelings of guilt, shame, and hopelessness, fueling the cycle of depression. Remember, depression is a treatable illness, and seeking psychotherapy is a courageous and vital step toward reclaiming your happiness.

Depression can stem from disruptions in developing a healthy sense of self, often linked to insufficient caregiving during childhood and adolescence. Later life traumas, like the loss of a loved one or job, can also trigger depressive episodes. With my support, you can work through these challenges and rediscover happiness.

Depression is often linked to fragile self-esteem and challenges in managing emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy for depression aims to restore healthy, supportive experiences in your daily life. This process can help you build a stronger sense of self-worth and self-esteem, ultimately reducing depressive symptoms.
