Depression often appears as fatigue, irritability, loss of motivation, or feeling disconnected from your own life. For people navigating cultural expectations, immigration stress, or high-pressure work and home environments, these experiences can be especially difficult to name because you’ve learned to “push through” even when you’re overwhelmed. Burnout from work, caregiving, or constantly meeting others’ expectations can intensify this heaviness, leaving you emotionally and physically drained.

Therapy offers a supportive space to understand where these feelings come from, why they linger, and what they may be protecting you from. As we gently untangle these layers, the fog of depression and burnout can start to lift. Over time, the weight becomes more manageable, and moments of clarity, energy, and genuine joy begin to return.
