Therapy for Depression, Anxiety & Overthinking
Some days it’s a slow grind. Some days it hits like a truck.
Whether it’s the weight of everyday life or the fallout from something big, something just feels off. You wake up exhausted. You scroll your phone like it might have answers.
You replay conversations from days ago, obsessing over what you should’ve said. You’re stuck between a low-key dread and emotional static - yet still hold it all together.
Depression doesn’t always drag you under—it can just flatten everything. You show up, go through the motions, but nothing feels real. The noise in your head won’t stop, or worse, everything goes numb. I help my clients get unstick from the mental loops and emotional dead zones that depression creates, especially when anxiety and overthinking tag along.
The mood is: exhausted but restless
Anxiety in the body, numbness in the mind
Maybe you:
Overthink every decision and still feel unsure
Stay busy to outrun the crash you know is waiting if you stop
Feel disconnected from joy, people, or purpose
Blame yourself for not being more focused, more motivated, more “together”
This isn’t you being dramatic — this is depression, anxiety, and overthinking feeding off each other, eating away at your time, energy, and self-worth.
Sometimes it shows up in how you cope: maybe you drink more than you want to, zone out with weed, food, porn, or endless scrolling. You’re not chasing a high — you’re trying to feel something… or nothing. It makes sense. And we can talk about it.
Why it doesn’t just go away
Your nervous system isn’t broken. It’s just overloaded.
You’ve probably told yourself, “It’s not that bad,” or, “I should be able to handle this.” Maybe people see you as the strong one, the steady one. So you keep performing while your nervous system is stuck in a tug-of-war between burnout and shutdown.
What we do in therapy
It’s not about fixing you — it’s about changing how you relate to yourself.
You don’t need more guilt or empty “stay positive” advice. You need depression therapy and anxiety therapy that slow things down enough to see what’s really going on. This is real psychotherapy for anxiety and depression, not just symptom management but understanding what’s underneath.
In therapy, we’ll:
Name what you’re actually feeling — not just the surface stuff
Stop carrying this alone or minimizing it because “others have it worse”
Learn tools to reset without numbing out
Rebuild your relationship with rest, movement, connection, and purpose
This isn’t about being more productive. It’s about feeling like a human again.
What can change
What clients often say after working together
Clients often tell me:
“I didn’t realize how loud my brain was until it got quiet.”
“I’m not as reactive — I bounce back faster.”
“I feel like myself again. Not fixed — just me, but steadier.”
Small shifts matter. They add up.

Therapy doesn’t need to be a last resort
If your brain won’t let you off the hook and your energy’s shot, let’s talk. You don’t need a crisis to ask for help — you just need to be done feeling stuck and ready for something better.
I offer depression therapy and anxiety therapy in San Jose, CA and online throughout California.
FAQ for Depression, Anxiety, Overthinkng Therapy
Q: Is this just “talking about my feelings”?
A: Not exactly. We talk about what’s running the show behind the scenes—like the parts of you that shut down, overthink, or keep powering through. Insight matters, but so does shifting how you relate to yourself.
Q: Do I need to be “really depressed” for this to help?
A: No. If you’re stuck, numb, quietly spiraling, or just tired of white-knuckling your way through the day, therapy’s probably overdue.
Q: Can I just push through this on my own?
A: You’ve probably been doing that for years. If it worked, you wouldn’t still be here looking for answers.
Q: What if I can’t even explain what’s wrong?
A: That’s common. We slow things down, make space for what’s hard to name, and let clarity come without forcing it.
