Depression is often triggered by loss(es) — whether it be loss of a loved one (dead or living), a relationship/marriage, a job/career, health/ability, or any of the many areas of life in which we can experience loss. Acknowledging and then processing the loneliness, isolation, and pain that comes from your loss(es) can help with depression along with the support that comes with counselling.

I can offer you the guidance and support you need, in small, simple steps; to get you back on your feet and feeling more like yourself once again.

I always first check to see if you have visited a physician to rule out thyroid or similar sources of depression. If depression results from circumstances, I use EMDR to desensitize these memories or experiences. I also use cognitive/behavioral therapy: Changing your thoughts changes your feelings which changes your behaviours. This also works in the reverse.

In recent decades depression has become pervasive. Not just a few blue days but all out depression. In treatment we have focused on a chemical cure. While this in itself may not be wrong, many, I among them, have come to believe it is insufficient. And so I come to helping with this challenge from a cognitive behaviour perspective and a search for purpose and place in community. Helen Keller said “Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it. The source of this overcoming is found in a renewed sense of self, purpose and place in the community. Come chat and we will find the "overcoming it" secret for you!

We understand that it is normal to feel extreme sadness in the face of trauma, violence, grief and loss, etc. We also know that clinical depression is something that deserves intentional support and intervention. We work to understand and provide the best support for each individual or family.

We all feel depressed from time to time. It's part of being human and a common experience we share. However living with depression day in and day out, feeling like we can no longer cope, wondering how we can even survive (or if we even want to) is certainly not! It is actually a way your body tells you that some part of you, the inner you, is in overload, and you need to seek some help. I can not only help you find just what it is that is weighing you down and stealing your joy, but also to loose it's hold on you so that little by little, you can be freed to not only survive, but actually thrive again. If you're looking for light at the end of your very dark tunnel, please contact me.

There is no simple 'cure' for depression and therapy with the aim to address depression will focus on the unique aspects of an individual's experience. Through the provision of support and an environment of safety and trust, individuals can begin to explore their experience of depression, including symptoms, relationships, trauma and early experiences, etc., and begin to work towards growth and change.

Often people can become overwhelmed where you might feel shut down low energy states or highly activated states. This is due to the fact that the nervous system is shutting down because it has very little capacity to deal with stress or emotion. Robin first works to effectively help to build the capacity to process emotions in your body. Then she titrates into the unprocessed emotion allowing it to process slowly and release out of the body .

Depression can be experienced in a magnitude of ways and is often experienced differently by each individual. Symptoms may range from feeling increasingly irritable, experiencing a sense of emptiness and hopelessness, and an individual often will feel completely overwhelmed, losing interest in activities they once enjoyed. Depression may also be experienced physically. Physical symptoms may include, but are not limited to a lack of energy, problems sleeping, pronounced weight changes, and eventually, even serious illness. In cases of mild to moderate depression, there is an increasing amount of research supporting counselling as effective as medication in improving a person’s mood. Many clients have been referred to counselling by their family doctor when...(view profile to read more)

As someone who has a history of depression personally and intergenerationally, I am well aware of the great challenges and opportunities for growth that this experience can bring. For those struggling with depression, healing can feel elusive, as if nothing will ever work. It often requires a wider lens, an eye for patterns and a deeply supportive and holistic orientation to shift this dynamic. My approach comes from my years of experience moving through and finally out of my own depression and integrating the ancestral patterns that laid the foundation for it in my life. I now come to you with a wide-reaching tool kit to support you in your journey.

Depression can come from a number of sources--significant loss, overwhelming challenges, physical causes (such as lack of iron, vitamin D, or Omega 3s), a touch with death, suppressed anger, or an inability to be who you truly are in this world. Sometimes we know the cause, and sometimes depression hits us out of the blue. I can work with you to figure out your depression and give you the support and strategies you need to feel better.

Depression issues can both result from distress in relationships and precipitate distress. Support in addressing depression issues can have a signifiacant positive impact on overall relationship functioning. The fact that relationships are one of our primary coping mechanisms multiplies the potential distress when depression is present as it impacts the very mechanisms we use to cope.
