Therapy for anxiety & depression · In-person and Online
Anxiety and depression can change how we experience ourselves, our relationships and the world
Therapy can help you understand what is happening beneath anxiety or depression, reconnect with yourself, and build more capacity for ease, connection, and vitality.
Anxiety and depression can shape daily life in ways that are hard to explain
Anxiety and depression do not always look visible from the outside. You may be functioning, working, caring for others, or getting through your day while internally feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, disconnected, or constantly on edge.You may notice that you:
- worry constantly or feel unable to switch your mind off
- feel tense, restless, or easily overwhelmed
- struggle with low mood, motivation, or energy
- experience self-criticism, shame, or a sense that you are not doing enough
- have difficulty sleeping, concentrating, or making decisions
Therapy creates space to understand what these experiences may be communicating and what you need, rather than treating them simply as something to push through..

“Over and over, the answer is the same, isn’t it? Love, love, love. The salve and the cure. In order to become a better person, I had to do something utterly unintuitive. I had to reject the idea that punishing myself would solve the problem. I had to find the love.”
