Depression Therapy
When everything feels heavy, flat, or far away—you don't have to push through it alone. Warm, culturally attuned depression therapy in San Diego and online across California.
More Than Sadness
Depression isn't always tears. Sometimes it's numbness, exhaustion, irritability, or a quiet sense that nothing matters. You might still be showing up to work and family while feeling empty inside—what many call high-functioning depression.
For second-generation and AAPI clients, depression can be especially hard to name. Emotions may not have been talked about at home, and rest can feel like failure. In therapy, we make space to feel what's real—without judgment—and slowly find your way back to yourself.
Approaches I Draw On
Depression often overlaps with anxiety and cultural identity. Explore anxiety therapy and AAPI & second-gen therapy.
