In the shadows of depression, there is hope and healing. As your therapist, I am dedicated to guiding you through this challenging journey. Together, we'll unravel the layers of emotions, identify triggers, and develop effective coping strategies. With compassionate support and a personalized approach, we can work towards restoring balance and rediscovering joy in your life. You don't have to face this alone – let's embark on a path towards healing and resilience.
Depression can feel like such an overwhelming weight, affecting most or all areas of your life. If you are experiencing depression, please know that you are not alone and that your feelings are valid. Depression is definitely not a sign of weakness, and is a complex and challenging condition that can affect anyone. Depression doesn't discriminate no matter how many people seem to "have it worse" than you. There is absolutely hope and help available! Healing takes time, but you deserve to feel better. You don't have to face this alone.
If you are experiencing low mood or depressive symptoms and you would like to develop a compassionate way to understand your emotional experiences and provide yourself with support, or if you would like to develop increased self-care skills and mechanisms for approaching yourself with increased compassion, I may be a good fit for you. Please feel free to reach out for a free consult.
I am currently accepting new clients. No waitlist! Evening sessions available for in-person or online sessions.
Having worked as a Registered Social Worker for over 12 years, I have established an approach to working with clients that leaves them feeling heard and supported. Together we create a space where you can safely and effectively work towards your wellness goals and make positive changes in your life. This may involve talking things through, processing and making sense of difficult experiences, addressing unhelpful thought or behaviour patterns, or establishing more effective coping mechanisms. Every client's journey is unique. My role is to support you in this process by being a neutral, non-judgemental resource.
For those suffering with low mood we work together to identify contributing factors and the ways in which thoughts, behaviours and experiences may be perpetuating symptoms of depression.
Please feel free to explore my website for more information or to book a free 20 minute consultation.
I would love to hear from you!

Working through depression requires an awareness of the depression cycle that keeps you trapped in this state. Utilizing this knowledge, we can seek how to break out of the loop in small, manageable steps. It is the little victories that add up and help you get closer to your goals.
At Atlas Therapy many of our therapists specialize in supporting and treating both mild and severe depression whether diagnosed or undiagnosed. We help our clients to gain new perspectives on their lives, challenge negative thought patterns, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Ecotherapy is one unique approach that we like to offer along with many others. We understand that no one approach works for everyone and depression can be both cyclical and unpredictable. We work to help you reach the life you envision for yourself.
Depression can be an all-encompassing presence in our lives and can be largely affected by the stories we tell about ourselves. Together, we can work to understand the unique effects depression has in your life, and how you have impacted depression, and begin to re-author your story.
Depression obscures what makes life worth living and leaves a person feeling numb and purposeless. In my work to address depression I help people reconnect with what is meaningful in their lives. We can work together to get unstuck from living the same day over and over on repeat.
