Depression
When Life Feels Overwhelming
Depression doesn’t always look like sadness. It might show up as numbness, irritability, lack of motivation, or simply feeling like you’re not yourself anymore. Things you used to enjoy feel flat. Getting out of bed feels hard. You might feel guilty for feeling this way — especially if life “should” be fine. That doesn’t make it any less real.
What Is Reactive Depression?
Reactive depression is a response to life’s stressors — things like loss, illness, burnout, breakups, or ongoing emotional strain. It’s not about weakness. It’s about your brain and body trying to cope with more than they can handle alone. The good news is that with the right support, things can shift.
How Therapy Can Help
I use BWRT®, hypnotherapy and other practical tools to help ease emotional heaviness and interrupt negative patterns. We won’t just talk — we’ll gently shift the way your brain processes stress, so you can feel more hopeful, motivated, and connected again. You don’t have to figure it all out on your own.
Why Online Therapy Works for Depression
When even leaving the house feels like too much, online therapy gives you access to support without added pressure. You can show up as you are, from your own space, and take things one small step at a time — with full understanding and no judgement.
What You’ll Gain
You may not feel “happy” overnight, but you will begin to feel lighter, clearer, and more able to face each day. Together, we’ll rebuild your confidence, emotional resilience and sense of hope — gently and steadily.

That’s okay. We can take things slowly, and I use techniques like BWRT® that don’t require you to talk through every detail. You’ll be supported in a way that feels safe and manageable.
