Depression Counselling in Etobicoke, ON.

Depression can make even the simplest tasks feel heavy, and it often convinces you that you’re alone in it. In our work together, you won’t be met with judgment or pressure - but with compassion, curiosity, and space to make sense of what you’re feeling. Clients often tell me they feel more understood, less isolated, and better able to reconnect with parts of themselves they thought were lost. Therapy can help lift the fog and make room for hope, energy, and purpose again - at a pace that feels right for you.

Getting to the root of one's depression, why it occurs, and how it presents itself is imperative in understanding how one can remedy it. By working with clients to explore and comprehensively understand their depression, we will be able to better manage, mitigate, or eliminate the cognitions, behaviours, and feelings tied to our depression. How we became depressed is only the first step in ones work on depression; figuring out how to create change, support, and maintain change is the bulk of it.

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.

Depression is typically an outcome of a current or past life event, or both. It might be due to grief or a recent disappointment. Depending on what we explore together to be the cause, we will work with action plans and strategies to set your life area in the direction that you want to improve. Further, if there are issues from your past, which is frequently the case, we will identify these upsets, identify schemas that you have formulated that impact how you think, feel, and behave, and we will work to improve your mood. Further, we may work through various worksheets and processes to understand what your thoughts and behaviors are and how these are helping or hurting your mood.

Depression can make even the simplest parts of life feel heavy, leaving people feeling stuck, unmotivated, or disconnected from themselves and others. In my work with clients, I provide a warm, supportive space to explore these feelings while offering practical tools to begin moving forward. Together, we focus on building self-compassion, identifying unhelpful thought patterns, and reconnecting with values and activities that bring meaning. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT, ACT, and mindfulness, clients learn strategies to manage low mood, increase resilience, and foster a greater sense of hope and balance in daily life.

Every single person has experienced significant disappointments and losses in their life at one point or another. Afterwards, it's normal and even healthy to feel sadness, hurt, anger or numbness.

My approach is centred fully on your needs in this space. It's important to me that you feel that someone cares about you, and is walking with you through the dark times of life.

Depression can feel overwhelming, leaving you drained of energy, hope, and motivation.

Sometimes we cannot explain how we feel to those around us. And sometimes we feel 'bad' because we don't have a reason for how we feel. We can feel alone, and not understood. Let's take a nonjudgmental lens to what we are feeling, thinking, and doing. From here we can regain some control over our emotions, and over our life. Depression and depressive symptoms can be managed. I look forward to working with you in managing your unique symptoms.

Creating a safe and collaborative space to tackle negative thought processes, address emotions and feelings and find a way to rationalize and target negative thinking patterns. Sessions also include ways to cope and find motivation in looking at things from a different perspective, and creates an openness within individuals to explore a more positive and healthy headspace.
