Depression isn't always crying in a dark room; often, for high-achieving individuals, it feels like an overwhelming heaviness, an absence of joy, and a profound loneliness. On the outside, you may still be going through the motions and taking care of business. But privately, you are navigating a persistent low mood, deep fatigue, self-doubt, and a secret feeling that you have completely lost your sense of direction and connection to who you truly are.I provide specialized, compassionate counselling support for individuals navigating mild depression, chronic low mood, and the emotional exhaustion of burnout. In our sessions, we work collaboratively to gently lift that weight. We use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to explore how your thoughts and behaviours interact, untangling unhelpful patterns and building practical, everyday emotional regulation strategies. Because depression often causes the body to shut down into a state of frozen exhaustion, we integrate neuro-experiential tools like Brainspotting. Looking beneath the surface allows us to access and safely release the hidden physical weight of stored emotional stress, grief, and "stuckness" right where it lives in your nervous system.Whether your low mood is tied to a major life disruption. Like a career transition, perimenopause, or relationship strain, or is a response to years of putting everyone else first, you do not have to carry this alone. Together, we will help you slow down, cultivate deep self-compassion, and build an intentional, resilient path forward. Alongside individual online therapy, I also offer healing group therapy sessions designed to help you break through isolation and build deeper connections with others.

Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, RTC, MTC, RCS, NARM Therapist
Depression is a low mood that lasts for a long time, and affects your everyday life. It starts as sadness. If prolonged, it then feels like you’re shutting down and becoming less capable of coping. Eventually, you’ll feel numb and empty, and possibly suicidal. Effective treatment can be a mix of psychotherapy, medication, and lifestyle changes.

Depression in itself is not my specialty but it is often part of one of the other situations listed here. Again I believe that with pharmaceutical and psychological help and exploration this terrible disabling condition can be improved and lifted.
