Depression and Anxiety Therapy

Do you treat depression and anxiety?

Yes. I work with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, and related emotional difficulties. These concerns are among the most common reasons people seek therapy, and they often overlap with life stress, trauma, grief, and major life transitions.

What does depression feel like?

Depression can look different for each person. For some, it may involve sadness, hopelessness, or emotional numbness. For others, it may show up as low energy, loss of motivation, difficulty concentrating, changes in sleep or appetite, or a sense of disconnection from life and relationships.

What does anxiety feel like?

Anxiety may involve persistent worry, racing thoughts, physical tension, restlessness, irritability, or difficulty relaxing. Some people experience panic attacks or a sense of being constantly “on edge,” even when there is no immediate danger.

How can therapy help with depression and anxiety?

Therapy can help you better understand the underlying emotional patterns contributing to depression and anxiety, while also supporting practical ways of coping in daily life. Over time, therapy may reduce emotional distress, increase self-awareness, and help restore a greater sense of balance, meaning, and connection.

Do you treat the symptoms or the underlying causes?

I work with both. While it is important to address current symptoms and distress, I also pay attention to deeper patterns, life experiences, and unconscious processes that may be contributing to depression and anxiety. This includes exploring relationships, life history, identity, and recurring emotional themes.

Do you use medication?

I do not prescribe medication, but I may collaborate with your physician or psychiatrist if medication is part of your treatment plan.

What approaches do you use for depression and anxiety?

My approach is relational and informed by Jungian psychotherapy. Depending on your needs, therapy may include traditional talk therapy, EMDR, dream exploration, and creative or reflective practices such as writing or visual expression. The work is tailored to your individual experience and goals.

How long does therapy take to help with depression and anxiety?

The length of therapy varies depending on the person and their goals. Some people seek short-term support for a specific period of difficulty, while others engage in longer-term work focused on deeper patterns, personal growth, and emotional integration.

When should I seek therapy for depression or anxiety?

You may benefit from therapy if depression or anxiety is interfering with your daily life, relationships, work, or overall sense of well-being. You do not need to wait until symptoms become severe to seek support—early intervention can often be helpful.

Can depression and anxiety improve with therapy?

Yes. Many people experience meaningful relief from symptoms as well as a deeper understanding of themselves through therapy. Over time, this process can support greater emotional resilience, clarity, and a more grounded sense of self.
