depression

for when the weight won't lift

Depression is rarely just sadness. It's the flatness where feeling used to be, and the exhaustion that sleep doesn't fix. It's functioning on the outside while something essential has gone quiet on the inside.

I offer individual therapy for adults in Boulder, Colorado, and I work with depression not as a diagnosis to be managed but as something worth understanding. Healing isn't a straight line, and it's almost never just about your thoughts. I work with the whole person: mind, body, and the deeper currents underneath.

depression

this might be right for you if...

  • You've been managing depression for a long time and are ready to actually move through it
  • You function well on the outside but something essential has gone quiet inside
  • Your depression comes with a harsh inner critic that turns the struggle into evidence of your inadequacy
  • You've tried medication or other therapy and something is still missing
  • You want a therapist who will stay curious about you rather than move quickly to fix you

frequently asked questions

How do I know if I need therapy for depression?

If something has gone quiet inside you, if you've been going through the motions, if the inner critic has gotten louder, or if you've been managing for a long time without things actually shifting, that's enough. You don't need to be in crisis to deserve support. Reaching out when things feel flat is not weakness. It's the harder, braver choice.

Can therapy help with depression if I'm already on medication?

Yes. Therapy and medication address depression through different pathways and often work well together. Medication can reduce the intensity of symptoms and create more space for the deeper work to take hold. Many of my clients work with both, and I'm happy to collaborate with prescribing providers when that's relevant.

How much does depression therapy cost?

Sessions run 50 to 55 minutes and cost $140. I'm private pay only, which means the structure of our work stays entirely between us without third-party involvement. A free 15-minute consultation is available before any commitment.
