Registered Psychotherapist, HBEd, MA (Hons.), Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Depression (also known as major depression, major depressive disorder, or clinical depression) is a common but serious mood disorder that I effectively treat through various modalities and by implementing coping strategies and motivators to improve overall mood.
Depression is a crippling mental state that causes you to skip on all the pleasures you used to feel. Depression comes as a result of hidden emotions and thoughts into the subconscious. In sessions we will work on identifying the root causes and how you can heal.

I teach my clients how to recognize and loosen the grip of their ego patterns, negative core beliefs and limited thinking patterns which frees them to discover their true essence and limitless potential.
Depression is a state of collapse for many and it doesn't have to stay that way. Explored trauma processing, establishing emotion regulation along with addressing the the effect of genetic markers can be a game changer in clients experience dealing with these mood disorders.

Registered Psychotherapist, Master's in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy
I have been training to utilize cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and solution-focused therapy for coping with the symptoms of depression.
Depression can drain the joy and hope out of life. It affects mood, thoughts, behaviours, and makes even daily tasks seem overwhelming and unmanageable. I have experience offering support and strategies to help manage symptoms, explore possible underlying causes, and rediscover hope and resilience as you move forward.
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.
