Depression Counselling in Casselman, ON.

Depression affects millions—yet it can feel profoundly isolating, like a prison of heavy fog, helplessness, guilt, or numbness. You’re not alone: I’ve walked alongside countless clients and seen how therapy can puncture that solitude and lift shame. My goal is to bring empathy, in part shaped by my own life’s challenges, and a warm, non-judgmental presence. Using CBT to reframe unhelpful thoughts, ACT to make room for difficult emotions, and mindfulness to anchor you in the present, we’ll build practical skills and compassionate self-talk to dismantle hopelessness. The goal? To break through the barriers of shame and disconnection—helping you reclaim energy, purpose, and a sense of belonging

Depression is a sadness that accompanies us wherever we go stealing our experience of happiness and joy. Others often do not understand that depression has changed our vision of a colorful, vibrant world to one of varying shades of gray. Depression can make tasks that were once completed without much thought like taking a shower, brushing one's teeth, or even getting out of bed, feel like an overwhelming challenge. Activities and people that we once enjoyed, no longer bring pleasure. "Why can't I just snap out of it?!" I use an integrative approach to therapy providing an empathetic, supportive dynamic to empower you to change your emotional experience of life.

Depression is a change in mood that can lead to loss of concentration, increased reactivity, feelings of sadness, and a loss of interest in everyday activities. Depression usually develops over time, so we are unaware it is present. It will surface when we are under stress, grieving a loss, or facing life changes we did not choose, like a marital break-up, a pregnancy loss, or being laid off from work. A major depression or clinical depression can also occur due to a chemical imbalance in the brain. In these situations, we need medical assistance to move forward from a depressive event. However, most people find talk therapy improves their mood. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation today

Experiencing depressive symptoms, low mood, low affect, low-ness is hard. Using psychodynamics and person-centered, strengths based therapies, I strive to aid clients in understanding the patterns of these symptoms so we can, collaboratively work together to process these feelings and devise ways that work for you to regulate and improve mood over time.

I provide a supportive space for clients experiencing low mood, fatigue, or self-criticism. Together, we address unhelpful thought patterns, nurture self-compassion, and develop strategies to regain motivation and energy. Clients leave therapy feeling more hopeful, connected to their values, and equipped to restore balance, confidence, and joy in their daily lives.
