Depression & Anxiety
Compassionate, solution-focused therapy for adults and teens in California who are ready for change
Stop living on autopilot and move forward with confidence
You don’t feel quite like yourself and you haven’t been wanting to do the things you used to enjoy. You find yourself overthinking or withdrawing from people and activities in your life.
Work, school, relationships and even daily tasks aren’t coming as easily as they used to. Everything just feels off, but you don’t know where to begin putting things back together. It seems like it’s easy for everyone else but you. You’re starting to wonder what’s wrong with you.
In the midst of life's demands, it's easy to find yourself on autopilot, navigating through each day without truly experiencing the richness of your own existence. If you're feeling anxious, depressed or unhappy with where you are in life, you don't have to stay stuck.

Symptoms of depression and anxiety can look different for everyone — they can sneak into our lives for a variety of reasons. Sometimes it's due to family history and brain chemistry. It can be also be situational. When life throws stressful events or big transitions into the mix, it can crank up the volume on those difficult, overwhelming feelings. Our personalities can play a role, too – if you're a bit of a perfectionist or tend to see the glass as half empty, that can impact your overall emotional state and stress levels. The “why” behind depression and anxiety can be complicated.
