Depression is a serious mental health difficult that if left untreated, can result in serious life disruption and loss. Psychotherapy assists the client in facilitating necessary changes to their thought process and behaviour to reduce and eliminate their symptoms.

Depression is often associated with symptoms such as fatigue, loss of motivation, loss of pleasure, withdrawal, and feelings of sadness. Often, when individuals feel depressed, they stop engaging in activities they enjoy which can perpetuate depressive symptoms. There are a variety of evidence-based approaches to explore depression. Together, we will decide which approach is best for you. Please contact me to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to determine if we are a good fit.

Depression can leave you feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or like you're simply getting through each day. You don't have to face that alone. I provide a compassionate space where we can gently explore the experiences and emotions contributing to how you're feeling. Using a trauma-informed, attachment-based approach grounded in Narrative Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy, I'll help you reconnect with your strengths, develop greater self-understanding, and begin moving toward a life that feels more hopeful, balanced, and fulfilling.

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
