Understanding and Healing Depression

Healing Depression for Neurodivergent Adults

If you're here, you might be carrying the weight of depression—a silent, exhausting struggle that can feel isolating, overwhelming, and unshakable.

First, let me say: I see you. The heaviness you feel isn’t a reflection of your worth or strength; it’s a response to your experiences, biology, and the demands of the world around you.

Together, we’ll create a space where that weight doesn’t define you—where hope, clarity, and empowerment can begin to take root.

What is Depression?

Depression is more than sadness or a bad day—it can affect every part of your life, from how you think and feel to how you move through your daily routines. It may show up as low energy, a sense of worthlessness, struggles with focus, or even a physical heaviness in your body. For neurodivergent, highly sensitive, and high-achieving adults, depression can be a particularly complex experience, as your unique strengths may also make you more vulnerable to overwhelm, burnout, and self-doubt.

How We Can Work Together

Healing is not a one-size-fits-all journey, and I believe in honoring your individuality at every step. Using a trauma-informed approach, I combine science-backed techniques with deeply compassionate care to support you in finding relief and rediscovering your inner strength.

Here’s how I can help you on your path to healing:

  • We’ll explore the roots of your depression, untangle unhelpful patterns, and cultivate healthier coping mechanisms. My approach emphasizes emotional safety, fostering trust, and honoring your pace as we navigate your story together. Learn more here.

  • Through mindful movement, breathwork, and somatic awareness, yoga therapy can help release stuck emotions and reconnect you to your body as a source of strength and stability. This is especially helpful if depression feels like it has disconnected you from your sense of self or vitality.

  • For deeper, focused work, I offer intensives tailored to your needs. Whether through EMDR, Parts work (IFS), or yoga therapy, these immersive sessions provide space to unpack deep-rooted emotions, reprocess painful memories, and integrate healing insights more quickly than traditional weekly therapy.

  • Depression often resides in the body as much as the mind. Through gentle somatic practices, we’ll address the physical toll depression can take, allowing you to reconnect with your body, increase self-compassion, and develop a felt sense of safety and empowerment.

  • For those seeking a more expansive experience, I offer retreats where healing happens alongside nature, community, and holistic practices. These retreats provide an opportunity to step away from the daily grind and fully immerse yourself in self-discovery and renewal.

Rebuilding Self-Esteem and Confidence

Depression can erode your sense of self-worth, leaving you feeling disconnected from your abilities and achievements. Together, we’ll work to rebuild your self-esteem—not through perfectionism or productivity, but by embracing your authentic self, strengths, and boundaries.

You Are Not Alone

Living with depression is hard, but you don’t have to do it alone. Whether you’re a neurodivergent thinker navigating unique challenges, a highly sensitive soul seeking deeper understanding, or a high achiever longing for balance, I’m here to help. You deserve support that sees the whole of who you are—and honors the resilience it’s taken to get this far.

If you’re ready to take the first step, reach out to schedule a session, discuss an intensive, or learn more about an upcoming retreat. Together, we’ll begin the journey toward healing and self-discovery.
