From a trauma-informed approach, depression is understood as a manifestation of unresolved trauma and a lack of feeling connected to the self and to others. The work we can do will include helping you better understand your depression, developing healthier and more helpful ways of coping, and doing the processing to resolve your trauma to relieve the depression.
Feeling stuck in a cycle of sadness and despair? As a therapist specializing in depression, I provide a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore their emotions and develop coping strategies. Through mindfulness practices and hypnotherapy techniques, we'll work together to uncover underlying issues, challenge negative thought patterns, and cultivate a renewed sense of hope and purpose.
Registered Psychotherapist, B.A., B.Ed., M.A., RP (Qualifying), EMDR Trained Therapist
I treat depression using evidence-based modalities such as acceptance and commitment therapy for addressing negative thought patterns, EMDR for processing traumatic memories that may be contributing to the depression, and IFS for understanding and healing internal conflicts.
I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help you connect with and understand the parts of yourself that are experiencing depression. Through introspection and experiential therapy, we will work together to embody these depressed parts, ensuring they feel heard, seen, and understood. Once you establish a meaningful connection with these parts, we will seek to find and nurture your internal resources, helping these parts find calm and relief from within. Additionally, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills will be utilized to provide practical tools for managing day-to-day challenges, allowing you to create space to breathe and attune to your needs. This holistic approach aims to foster a deeper understanding of your depression and support you in finding lasting relief and inner peace.
If you feel low mood, have trouble sleeping, or any other depression symptoms, please reach out for a free 15 minute consultation today. I have many tools to help clients who feel depressed and strive to get to the root of the issue. I have clients who have expressed they no longer feel numb after working with me and can even feel emotions like joy again! It is very rewarding to watch my clients go from depressed and hopeless to feeling joy again.
In treating depression (which often includes anxiety) I take a wholistic approach to help you develop new strategies and ways of being. Have a trained and empathic presence at your side may help you emerge from depression and once again find joy and connection in your life.

I work with clients to find root causes of their depression and lead them through to clarity and energetic rebalancing. RTT Rapid Transformation Therapy is a tool I especially love to use for depression. It helps patients tremendously.
Depression can affect anyone and is treatable. As a mood disorder, it can alter a person’s feelings and interactions with the people and things around them.
Using approaches such as cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and interpersonal therapy (IPT), we can develop coping strategies together. We can work on learning positive skills that quieten negative inner commentary. As well we can look into ways of communicating better, speaking up for one’s self and addressing situations that worsen depression symptoms.
