A key component with depression is disconnection: disconnection from flexible thoughts/emotions, disconnection from functional quality of life, and disconnection from self and other relationship. Oftentimes, we are the best ones at being critical and hard on ourselves. Learn ways to dial down your inner critic and explore other, often neglected, parts of your self. Using cognitive and behavioral strategies, you can tailor action plans that best fit your style of life.
Depression takes away the things you love most in life, and it can be easy to despair. But there is hope! While it may seem all-consuming, it is easier to overcome when there is someone walking beside you. There are simple, proven steps you can take to get through depression.

Licensed Professional Counsellor, M.H., RTC, C.CH T
My approach to counselling is to respect and value the uniqueness of every individual and where they are. I work to support them using creativity, with warmth, understanding and at times, a touch of humour when appropriate.
Everyone has times when they feel low. Depression occurs when you feel this way for several weeks or months at a time, and your feelings and thoughts begin to interfere with your ability to function and enjoy life. This is a common mental health concern, and you are not alone. I can help you explore, identify, and understand your thoughts and feelings.
We will work together to identify the underlying causes of your depression and how it manifests in your life. I recognize that this is a challenging time for you, so expect a safe space where you can engage in self-exploration and be yourself.
