Depression Therapist in San Francisco
What is Depression?
Everyone feels "down" from time to time, but depression can feel different, staying with us longer than a short period of time. You may notice sadness for days or weeks, and difficulty managing everyday tasks, motivation to work, or your connections with those around you, often leaving you feeling alone or stuck.
My Approach to Therapy for Depression
I base my approach for depression therapy on Mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you learn the skills and strategies to cope with depression and recover your well-being. We will work together to help you learn practical tools to improve your day-to-day life and get you back into a healthy routine, balancing work and time with family and friends. Depression can feel lonely, but with therapy, we can manage it as a team.
