Therapy for Depression: A Compassionate Approach to Deeply Heal

Most days, you’re fine—busy, productive, checking off goals like it’s your superpower.

You’re the one people admire, the one who seems to have it all figured out, and HAPPY.

But every so often, an unwelcome part of you (a very sad, lonely, doubtful part), starts to creep in.

It doesn’t interrupt the busy moments—it waits for the stillness. When the notifications stop, when the to-do list is done, when it’s just you, alone with your thoughts, and the loneliness sneaks in, whispering that something isn’t quite right.

You shake it off, push forward, remind yourself you’re fine, and everything you should be grateful for and that you have no reason to be sad.

And you’re good… until it resurfaces again, a quiet reminder that something deeper is still there, waiting to be seen.

You don’t have to ignore it and push it away.

Let’s Heal Deeply with Compassion.

In therapy, we’ll create space to quiet that inner critic, break the cycle of never feeling “enough,” and build the kind of self-worth that isn’t tied to achievements.

Together, we’ll work toward feeling truly connected—both to yourself and to the people around you

Hi, I’m Nicole!

You’ve spent so much time proving yourself—now it’s time to feel at home with yourself.

Let’s work together to heal the doubts, quiet the inner critic, and build a life that feels fulfilling from the inside out.

What Therapy for Depression Can Help With:

  • Understanding and shifting negative thought patterns

  • Processing past experiences that may be fueling your depression

  • Finding motivation and joy again

  • Easing feelings of worthlessness, guilt, or shame

  • Learning tools to manage overwhelming emotions

  • Strengthening your relationships and sense of connection

It’s time to Debunk the Myths Depression Can Make you believe

You Are Not Broken—And You Are Not Alone

Depression has a way of making you believe you’re stuck like this forever, that no one understands, that nothing will ever change. But that’s not true.

Together, we’ll explore what’s keeping you stuck—whether it’s unprocessed grief, past wounds, self-criticism, or a sense of disconnection.

I use a blend of approaches, including EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS), to help you untangle the roots of your pain, shift the beliefs that keep you trapped, and rediscover the part of you that still holds hope.

Healing doesn’t happen overnight, but step by step, we’ll work toward relief!

Toward feeling like yourself again. Toward waking up without the crushing weight of despair.

Depression Doesn’t Have to Stick Around

Your depression might also feel like…

Feeling emotionally drained, overwhelmed, or exhausted.

Struggling with heartbreak or feeling unlovable.

Feeling unfulfilled, stuck, or lacking passion in life.

Feeling not good enough, doubting self-worth.

Feeling disconnected, even when around others.

Wondering if life has meaning or feeling directionless.

Or just having a hard time keeping hope alive that things will get better.

Depression makes it just hard exist.

Maybe your relationships feel distant. Conversations feel hollow, and even when you’re surrounded by people, you feel completely alone.

You cry at night with no one to comfort you, questioning if you even matter. The ache of loneliness is overwhelming, and you wonder if anyone would truly notice if you weren’t here.

You might have a partner, family, or friends, yet still feel unseen, unheard—like you’re just moving through life as a shadow. The self-doubt creeps in: What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I just feel better?

Maybe you’ve thought about saying something but worry about being a burden. So, you stay quiet. You push through. And the world keeps moving, while you feel like you’re sinking deeper into the fog.

It’s time to heal deeply!
