Depression Therapy in Seattle, WA- A Supportive Path Forward
Seeking therapy for your depression can help you better understand your thoughts and emotions.
Dealing with depression isn’t easy. It’s perfectly okay to acknowledge the struggle and seek support. Everyone deserves to feel cared for and validated during tough times, particularly if your loved ones don’t fully understand what you’re dealing with. It’s also common for depression to put a strain on your relationships, which can make things feel even harder.
I offer a down-to-earth, supportive environment where you can start to feel like yourself again. Collaboratively as a team, we’ll journey together as you reconnect with yourself and learn ways to navigate your depression. Let’s take the steps towards feeling more grounded and emotionally resilient.
Common Signs and Depression Symptoms
- Persistent feelings of sadness
- Anxiety
- Sense of emptiness
- Disinterest in your usual activities or relationships

It is important to recognize that symptoms can manifest differently for each individual and may evolve over time. Regardless of your specific experience, you deserve support to learn to manage your symptoms and better understand the part of you that deals with depression. Seeking help from a mental health professional, such as a depression therapist, can provide valuable support and guidance in self-compassion and ways to improve your overall well-being. Remember, you are not alone, and there are resources available to help you manage your depression and ways to feel supported and understood.
You Are So Much More Than a Label, Diagnosis, Or Set of Symptoms
You might be navigating the aftermath of trauma, emotionally immature parents, or relational wounds that leave you feeling stuck. It’s as if these deep-seated pains have woven themselves into the very fabric of your being, steering the course of your life in ways that can feel both overwhelming and inescapable. You might recognize these patterns and yearn for change, yet feel overwhelmed about where to start or worry you will get flooded with emotions.
I understand that these are not just “issues to be managed” but profound experiences that require a compassionate, and relational approach to therapy. In our work together, we will engage with the raw and tender places in your heart, utilizing both somatic work and talk therapy, and move at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Somatic therapy invites your body to participate in your healing, recognizing that trauma and emotional wounds are not just carried in your thoughts and memories but are also deeply embedded in your physical self. By integrating somatic practices, we can tap into your body’s innate wisdom, releasing stored tensions and fostering a renewed sense of embodiment and resilience.

In Sessions, We Will Get Curious Together as We Explore the Deeper Roots of Your Depression
You will learn what it means to manage your depression in a way that doesn’t keep you from moving on in life. In your toolkit, you will have coping skills to help you face the struggles depression presents head-on. Even though it can be hard, I commit to supporting you through the inevitable ups and downs.
There are also different parts of ourselves that come up in life. For instance, some parts protect you, and some wounded parts feel very insecure or vulnerable. Therapy is a space to identify which parts are currently running your life. This is known as parts work, and it can help you better understand yourself and practice more self-compassion for your mental health struggles. With depression, it can feel like the inner critic is strong and winning. That part’s job is to protect you, but it has become overwhelming and quite loud. Our work together can help you learn to integrate all aspects of your identity and feel compassion for all parts of yourself.
