Depression & low mood
When Everything Feels Heavy
Depression can drain motivation, hope, and connection to things you used to enjoy. Negative thoughts about yourself may feel automatic and true.
You might withdraw even when you want closeness — and feel stuck without a clear path forward. The heaviness can make even small tasks feel impossible.
CBT helps you understand the thought patterns that feed low mood and build practical skills for renewed energy and direction. It is structured, short-term, and focused on measurable progress — not endless rumination.
My care emphasizes Healing, Growth, and Purpose: softens what hurts, rebuilds momentum, and reconnects you with a plan that fits your real week through secure telehealth across California.

Hey, I'm Jerry — a licensed CBT-certified therapist specializing in cognitive behavioral therapy for adults. For over 10 years and 1,000+ sessions, I've helped people from diverse backgrounds navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, and life transitions.
“When you begin to recognize the patterns that trip you up, and understand the beliefs and emotions behind them, your life begins to change.”
I became a psychotherapist because therapy is not only a powerful instrument of healing, but also a catalyst for growth and purpose. Using and modeling CBT, I'm passionate about helping adults confront and overcome self-defeating patterns — because CBT is not "just think positive." It's about noticing unhelpful thought patterns, understanding what's driving them, and building practical tools for lasting change.
