Reconnect to your authentic self.

Depression therapy in Pasadena, CA and throughout California.

You wonder when life will start to feel good.

You’re tired of waiting for things to change.

The depths of depression can feel relentless. You might be someone who looks like you’re completely fine — you show up to work on time, take care of your daily responsibilities, and remain in contact with loved ones. But, on the inside, you dread waking up every morning and wonder if things will ever get better.

On the other hand, you could be facing a total loss of enjoyment in all the things you used to love and your relationships, work, and sense of self are suffering as a result. You might be facing a dark night of the soul that feels unending.

I believe depression is much more than a chemical imbalance — it is a lack of alignment with our daily lives. Such an experience requires an in-depth, holistic, trauma-informed approach. With care and compassion, we will untangle what is driving the depression and help you find a way back to your inner light.

Depression therapy in Pasadena, CA often includes EMDR therapy. I’ve noticed traumatic experiences are usually at the core of depression, so we will focus on healing those past hurts so you can thrive in the present.

Here’s what we’ll do together

Therapy can help you understand your mind so you can find inner peace .

Depression therapy in Pasadena, CA is collaborative, in-depth, and holistic. We will first begin by exploring your past. I’m especially attuned to noticing how negative experiences may be subconsciously driving your day-to-day.

As we take a deeper dive into your past and as you develop trust in the therapeutic relationship, we will explore if EMDR therapy is a fit for you. EMDR therapy is a somatic therapy that desensitizes negative experiences, which in turn can mitigate symptoms of depression.

Along the course of our treatment, we will practice coping tools that you can use throughout your week. Mindfulness techniques, breathing exercises, and guided visualizations are some of my favorite techniques.

Since depression isn’t just an issue of the mind, but also one of the soul, we will explore what is and isn’t working for you in your daily life. Sometimes we can feel depressed because we don’t feel we are living out our purpose or we feel lost. We may bring in activities like dream analysis to help you better understand what is happening in your subconscious mind.
