When Getting Through the Day Feels Harder Than it Should
Does it feel like everything takes more effort than it used to? You’re getting things done—but barely. You may be moving through your days on autopilot, checking boxes and meeting responsibilities while feeling disconnected, exhausted, or emotionally flat inside.
Mornings might be especially difficult. Getting out of bed feels overwhelming, even after a full night’s sleep. Small tasks—answering a text, making a decision, keeping up with routines—can feel heavier than they should. You may find yourself withdrawing from people you care about, feeling irritable or tearful without knowing why, or quietly wondering, “What’s wrong with me?”
You’ve likely tried to push through or talk yourself out of it. But the heaviness lingers. Over time, depression can leave you feeling discouraged, isolated, and unsure how to move forward.
With support, it doesn’t have to stay this way.
You’re Not Weak for Feeling this Way—Depression is More Common than You Think
Many women experience depression during periods of stress, loss, emotional overload, or major life transitions—even when things look “fine” on the outside. High-functioning women are often especially skilled at holding it together, which can make it harder to recognize when they’re struggling.
Depression doesn’t always look like constant sadness. It can show up as emotional numbness, low motivation, irritability, difficulty concentrating, disrupted sleep, or a persistent sense of heaviness that won’t lift. It often overlaps with anxiety and can quietly build over time.
The good news is that depression is highly treatable. With the help of a compassionate, experienced therapist, you can begin to understand what’s happening beneath the surface and start feeling more like yourself again.
Therapy Can Help You Feel Lighter, Clearer, and More Grounded Again
Depression has a way of narrowing your world. Therapy helps gently expand it.
In our work together, we’ll slow things down and focus on what you need most. I offer trauma-informed therapy that is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to your goals—not a one-size-fits-all approach. You are the expert on your life; my role is to help you make sense of what you’re experiencing and support meaningful change at a pace that feels right.
We may explore patterns in your thoughts, emotions, relationships, or life experiences that are contributing to depression. I draw from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, positive psychology, and solution-focused strategies to help you develop practical tools while also addressing deeper emotional needs.
With over 20 years of experience supporting women through anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions, I’ve seen how meaningful change can happen when clients feel safe, understood, and supported. Together, we’ll work toward helping you reconnect with yourself and move forward with greater steadiness and clarity.
Questions You Might Be Asking
How do I know if therapy for depression is right for me?
If you’ve been feeling persistently low, disconnected, exhausted, or not like yourself—and those feelings aren’t lifting with time—therapy can help. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from support.
What if I don’t know what to talk about?
You don’t need to have the right words. We’ll start where you are, and I’ll help guide the conversation in a way that feels supportive and manageable.
I’m busy—can therapy fit into my life?
Yes. I offer both in-person therapy in Leesburg and secure online therapy across VA, MD, and DC to make support accessible.
