Shed the weight of depression. And thrive.
Many of my clients come in wondering: Is this actually depression, or is this just adulting?
If you're experiencing the following, it may be depression, and therapy can help:
Work has become something you just get through. You drag yourself there every day, exhausted and unmotivated. Tasks that used to interest you now feel like obligations.
You're not the partner you want to be. You feel less affectionate, less curious, less patient. You notice yourself finding faults, pulling away, and then feeling guilty about it.
Your hobbies don't bring you joy anymore, and hanging out with friends can feel like a chore.
You feel lost. You find yourself wondering what the point of everything is.
If you're Asian or Asian American, you might also carry:
Disappointment in yourself for not being happy with what you have, especially when others seem to have more "legitimate" reasons to have a hard time.
Guilt about wanting something different from what your parents sacrificed for.
The habit of carrying these feelings silently because you learned early on that’s what one should do.
The belief that struggling means failing and your unhappiness is a sign of weakness.
Through therapy, many of my clients reported feeling lighter and getting their motivation and energy back.
They report feeling excited about things again—a romantic evening with their partner, seeing friends, or trying something new just for fun.
It’s possible for everyday life to feel meaningful and fulfilling, like there's a point to what you're doing, and you're actually present for it.
If this resonates with you, schedule a free consultation to talk about whether we might be a good fit.
