"Depression" in today's society encompasses a very broad range of experiences - everything from a prolonged sadness to feeling such despair that life no longer feels worth living. It not only affects your mood but can also impact one's physical health, relationships and work. I accompany those struggling with depression to access their natural ability to re-wire their brain towards greater health. Since each person I work with is unique, I tailor my approach to each individual depending on the root cause. This may include things such as: processing past events with EMDR or managing current stressors with mindfulness practices or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

Depression is the most common mood disorder in the world. But it is also one of the most treatable. There have been well over 100,000 clinical studies on depression, so a lot has been learned, and it has become clear what the best treatment approaches are. Unfortunately, only one in four depressed people will seek psychological services. This is truly sad since cognitive, behavioral, and interpersonal psychology can make a lasting difference in breaking your unique pattern of depression. Why not get started today on a brighter future?

My goal with helping clients through depression is to help them feel empowered by re-discovering their deeper potential. Moving past old belief systems, habits and the stories we tell ourselves is paramount in overcoming depression. I am here to help service our community for creating powerful healing and lasting results. I use a unique approach of teaching, coaching and deeper therapy work.

Depression is a mood disorder that can cause a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest that can interfere with daily functioning. Reaching out for help is a step towards wellness.

A comprehensive assessment will help clients and families understand the causes for depressive symptoms. Treatment focuses on the biological, emotional, and cognitive causes for depressive symptoms, and a holistic treatment plan is implemented to target these causes and improve symptoms. Clients will benefit from better understanding the factors that cause and perpetuate all the symptoms of depression, and be empowered to change patterns of thinking that continue to cause distress and low mood.

Depression symptoms can manifest physically and behaviourally. Physical symptoms can include headaches, aches or numbness, gastrointestinal problems, and sensitive immune system. General fatigue, constant lateness, loss of appetite, lack of concentration and procrastination can also be symptoms of depression.

Depression is a serious mental disorder that affects every area of a person's life. It is a regular mode of operation for those who have it, unlike the occasional sadness that everyone experiences from time to time. Depression might be mild, characterized by low energy and a lack of interest, or it might be severe, characterized by violent mood swings and a desire to give up on life. Left untreated, the person suffering depression might contemplate harming themselves. Depression is frequently linked to substance abuse, as it effects the same area of the brain, and sufferers of depression often try to self medicate with drugs or alcohol. At Valiant Recovery, we treat the dual diagnosis of depression and substance abuse in order to care for the whole person.

I believe in an approach to helping that starts from building on the strengths of the client; using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused, and Problem Solving pragmatic approaches to help the client learn new strategies to initially cope and then delve into changing the way they think about themselves and their world. Breaking and changing ineffective and damaging thinking patterns and replacing them with more effective and sound habits and patterns is the groundwork for change. I also believe that using an existential approach that takes into account searching for and creating meaning is crucial to building success and growing out of depression.
