Depression and
Self-Criticism
Ready to finally quiet that inner critic? Let’s find your path to hope.
You might be here because….
It's incredibly tough when everyone around you sees your strengths, but you just can't seem to believe them yourself. That constant self-doubt? It's utterly draining.
You can easily see the good in others and truly celebrate their strengths, yet you completely struggle to recognize any of those same positive qualities in yourself.
You find yourself battling a deep sense that something is fundamentally wrong with you, or feeling like you're just not measuring up—often blaming yourself for not being able to "fix" your own thoughts or emotions.
Being kind to yourself feels nearly impossible. Your inner voice is relentless, saying things to you that you'd never, ever imagine saying to anyone else.
Sound familiar? I'm so glad you're here. Keep reading—my therapy services for depression and self-criticism could be the turning point you've been searching for.
Let's talk. You're a gentle soul who has put in so much effort, tirelessly trying to cope with persistent negative thoughts and that heavy, lingering mood. Maybe you've actively tried to logically challenge these thoughts with cognitive therapy, or pushed yourself into hobbies, desperately hoping to feel better. You might even set goals, only to feel yourself constantly falling short, which just reinforces that painful belief that you're not measuring up. Perhaps you've attempted to be "kind" to yourself, but your inner critic is so loud, you can't truly believe it. You might even seek out relationships, but deep down, you don't feel deserving of connection, making it hard to be fully present.
If this resonates with you, know this: you deserve a space where your tireless efforts are truly understood. A place where we can genuinely unpack why these strategies haven't brought lasting relief, and finally start building a path toward real self-compassion and undeniable hope.
It takes immense bravery to begin the search for support with a therapist.
I'm so glad you found your way here.
I welcome every single way you've tried to cope and feel better. I see your persistent sadness and self-criticism not as personal failings, but as powerful signs of your deep longing for well-being and a more peaceful inner world. For gentle souls, these patterns often feel so natural.
My passion is creating a truly safe space where we can gently explore these feelings and how they're impacting your daily life and relationships. When you've carried this weight for so long, it can feel incredibly ingrained. My goal is to help you discover the steady, strong parts of yourself that are always there, so you can finally start being kinder to yourself and feel genuinely hopeful about what's next.
