Depression

Depression can feel heavy and isolating—like moving through life in slow motion, struggling to find motivation, joy, or a sense of connection. For LGBTQ+ people, depression often doesn’t arise in a vacuum. It can be shaped by painful life experiences: rejection, shame, discrimination, or years of feeling like you had to hide parts of who you are to stay safe or be accepted.

You may also be dealing with anxiety—persistent worry, racing thoughts, or a constant sense of unease. Often, anxiety and depression are deeply connected. In many cases, anxiety isn’t just about everyday stress—it can be a manifestation of deeper emotional wounds, unresolved trauma, or long-held beliefs about not being “enough.”

In therapy, I offer a safe, affirming space where we can begin to untangle these layers. Together, we’ll explore the roots of what you’re feeling, while also building practical tools to manage your mood, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with your sense of self-worth.

You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin. Whether you’re feeling lost, overwhelmed, or simply tired of carrying it alone—therapy can help you feel more grounded, empowered, and hopeful again.
