When I counsel clients with depression, I focus on helping them become aware of their thoughts and feelings without judgment. I use mindfulness techniques, like meditation and breathing exercises, to encourage them to stay present and observe their experiences. This practice helps reduce rumination and promotes acceptance of difficult emotions. By fostering mindfulness, I guide clients to detach from negative thought patterns, build resilience, and develop a balanced perspective, enhancing their ability to cope with depressive symptoms.

Is getting out of bed becoming to be the hardest accomplishment of your day? Do you feel irritated and or unsociable? Are you unproductive in your relationships or at work?

What if I told you that your life could be turned around quickly, and often painlessly. Lets work on it together, piece by piece - you don't have to do this alone. Depression is often caused by thoughts you have that you have learned to listen to, and have come overtime to believe. Lets take a look at those thoughts together, and see if we can't gain a new prospective!

I work with clients to manage symptoms of depression, which can be accompanied with a sense of helplessness and hopelessness that can create a negative valence around an individual’s daily functioning.

Depression is so very common in people seeking therapy, and it is also a thief which steals our quality of life from us. It steals our joy and happiness, our energy and motivation, and sometimes even our desire to live.

Counselling or therapy, particularly Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, can help. I have seen depression in action and it helps me appreciate how much it can hurt. I have deep compassion and believe in your capacity to heal. I will never tell you to "just get over it" and can make recommendations that will help.
