Depression is something that all humans share, whether they are able to admit it or not. However, when that depression impacts our functionality to a point where it intrudes and prevents us from being & feeling whole, learning new skills and methods to manage our feelings, can be the difference for some between life and having no life. Using a variety of techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Reality/Choice Theory, Solution Focused & Existential Therapy, we can examine how our minds blend our worries, stress, fears, doubts, self-esteem, self-image, concerns and projections into a soup mix that threatens to overwhelm us, and halt it in its tracks. You can learn to rise above it.

The circumstances and issues that you are dealing with are unique to you, but you don't have to face them alone. Every individual has different experiences, perceptions, feelings, thoughts, beliefs, values, attitudes, cultural backgrounds and "upbringings". Counselling sessions are private and confidential, and can provide a way for you to explore your problems and really tune in to your feelings. This is an opportunity to speak freely about your circumstances and release pent up feelings, without having to worry about what others think or feel, and without receiving unwanted advise from family, friends or coworkers. At the root of the problem, there are very real, legitimate and understandable reasons for feeling the way you feel, thinking the way...(view profile to read more)

Living with depression is challenging. Using CBT and DBT strategies, I work with you to create manageable goals that will help to cultivate positive experiences and emotions. We will work together to determine what would be most beneficial to you and where to start. Throughout the process, we will challenge negative thinking, develop emotional regulation skills, and learn how to tolerate distress. Focus is also placed on your unique strengths, abilities, and the power you have to take control of your life and enjoy it to the fullest.
