Depression Therapy in Portland, Oregon

Depression can feel like disconnection—from yourself, from other people, and from any clear sense of direction. It often shows up as heaviness, numbness, low energy, or a loss of meaning that’s hard to explain or shift on your own.
We provide depression therapy that helps you understand what’s underneath these experiences and support you in reconnecting with motivation, emotional range, and a stronger sense of self.

How Depression Shows Up

  • persistent low mood or emotional heaviness
  • numbness, disconnection, or lack of interest
  • low energy, fatigue, or difficulty getting started
  • loss of motivation or sense of direction
  • negative self-talk or self-criticism
  • withdrawal from relationships or daily life
  • difficulty concentrating or making decisions
  • cycles of shutdown, avoidance, or feeling stuck

Our Approach to Depression Therapy

Depression often develops in response to prolonged stress, loss, disconnection, or internal pressure. Over time, it can become a pattern of shutting down—emotionally, mentally, or physically—as a way of coping.
Our work focuses on understanding how that pattern formed and what maintains it, while gradually increasing your capacity for engagement, connection, and movement. We move at a pace that supports change without overwhelm, building both insight and momentum.
In our work together, we will:
  • identify patterns of withdrawal, avoidance, and self-criticism
  • understand the experiences contributing to depression
  • reconnect with your emotional experience in a manageable way
  • build structure and momentum in daily life
  • shift limiting beliefs about yourself and your capacity
We integrate ACT, CBT, IFS-informed approaches, and narrative therapy, adapted to your pace and needs.

Who This Is For

This work may be a good fit for you if:
  • you feel disconnected from yourself or your life
  • you struggle with low energy, motivation, or follow-through
  • you notice patterns of withdrawal or avoidance
  • you feel stuck in self-critical or negative thinking
  • you want to feel more engaged, present, and connected again

I work with individuals, couples and adolescents navigating life transitions and evolutions—chapters of change that ask us to reimagine who we are. My work often centers on experiences of grief and identity—how we hold what’s been lost, and how we rediscover ourselves in what comes next.
