Depression can make you feel isolated and alone, even when you're surrounded by people who care about you. You may feel like nobody understands what you're going through, and that you're stuck in a never-ending cycle of sadness and hopelessness. I can help you by working with you step by step to understand the roots of your depression, and together we will find a way out.

Sometimes depression can be a form of self-punishment, where you blame yourself for past mistakes or perceived failures. This negative self-talk and self-criticism can exacerbate feelings of guilt, shame, and hopelessness, further fueling the cycle of depression. It's important to remember that depression is a treatable illness, and seeking psychotherapy is a brave and important step towards happiness.

Depression can result from a disruption in the formation of a healthy self-structure, particularly due to a lack of adequate caregiving experiences during childhood and adolescence. Trauma in later life such as the loss of a loved one or job can also trigger depression. With my support you can overcome depression and find happiness again.

Often, depression is associated with a fragile sense of self-esteem and difficulties regulating emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy for depression focuses on restoring healthy, supportive experiences in daily life. This can help you overcome depression and develop a stronger sense of self-worth and self-esteem, and ultimately lead to a reduction in depressive symptoms.
