Depression Counselling in Grimsby, ON.

Depression can be extremely debilitating for many people, leaving them feeling hopeless, unmotivated, and without feeling. My approach to working with people with depression is to first understand the factors that have shaped the person and their live, while at the same time exploring strategies to bring in experiences that are based in previously valued activities and identities.

If you’re feeling down, having trouble enjoying things you used to, sleeping changes (sleeping too much or not enough), changes in your appetite (too much or not enough), or just feeling lethargic, you might want to see a psychotherapist and might feel depressed. Through CBT, DBT, and Narrative Therapy, you can see life in a better light, and get back to the life you want to. Book a free 15-minute consultation to start your healing journey.

I will validate and support you while helping you explore your feelings and find positive coping strategies that are the right fit for you. Book a free consultation to see if we are a good fit.
