Treatment of Depression and Anxiety

​

Common Signs of Depression

 

Depression isn’t just “feeling sad.” It affects how you think, feel, and function — often in quiet and invisible ways. Some of the symptoms clients describe include:

• Loss of interest or motivation

• Persistent sadness, heaviness, or emptiness

• Feelings of worthlessness or guilt

• Difficulty concentrating or making decisions

• Fatigue or low energy, even after rest

• Changes in sleep or appetite

• A sense of hopelessness or isolation

Depression can make even simple tasks feel overwhelming. Many people delay reaching out because they believe they should be able to "snap out of it." But depression is not a weakness — it's a condition that deserves care and professional support.

Common Signs of Anxiety

 

Anxiety can show up as chronic tension, racing thoughts, or a constant sense of unease. Many of my clients say things like “I can’t turn my mind off” or “I always feel like something bad is about to happen.” Symptoms may include:

• Constant worry or overthinking

• Difficulty relaxing or sleeping

• Irritability or feeling on edge

• Physical symptoms like tension, restlessness, or a racing heart

• Avoiding situations due to fear or panic

• Perfectionism or fear of failure

While anxiety can be adaptive in small doses, when it becomes a daily companion, it can erode your well-being and affect work, relationships, and self-confidence.

​

Depression and Anxiety Often Go Hand in Hand

It’s very common to experience both depression and anxiety at the same time. You might feel tired and disconnected, while also tense and fearful about the future. I take a nuanced and holistic approach to help you understand and address the overlap — so you can break the cycle and move toward lasting emotional stability.

How I Work with Depression and Anxiety

I offer therapy that is:

• Evidence-based: I use scientifically supported approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Schema Therapy to help you understand your patterns, shift unhelpful thinking, and make meaningful changes.

• Structured and goal-oriented: We work collaboratively to set goals that matter to you — whether it’s improving your mood, reducing anxiety, sleeping better, or reconnecting with what brings you joy.

• Emotionally attuned: While tools and techniques are important, so is feeling understood. I offer a safe and respectful space to explore painful emotions and inner conflicts.

• Adapted to your context: Whether you’re living abroad, navigating cultural identity, or facing career pressures, we’ll integrate your lived experience into the work we do.

​

What Therapy Can Help You Achieve

Therapy for depression and anxiety is not about becoming someone else. It’s about reconnecting with your inner resources and building the resilience to navigate life with more clarity and calm. My clients often report:

• Feeling more in control of their emotions

• Reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression

• Better sleep, focus, and energy

• Improved relationships and boundaries

• A renewed sense of purpose and direction

​

Who I Work With

I work with adults (18+) who are experiencing:

• Mild to moderate depression

• Generalized anxiety, social anxiety, or health anxiety

• Stress-related exhaustion or burnout

• Repeated self-critical thoughts or inner pressure

• Emotional struggles linked to cultural transitions or identity

Therapy is available in English or German, wherever you are located.
