Feelings of sadness, worthlessness, and discontent can follow you around, feeling like a weight. You may also feel guilty, as though you are burdening others with your experience. Depression is highly treatable, and I am here to help renew your sense of energy, motivation, and connection to yourself and the world.

I work with individuals when their life is feeling numb - you're not feeling the joyful moments fully and everything else feels like one dull moment. Life feels stuck and you feel stuck. I support individuals in understanding themselves and their needs better to live a life that is meaningful to them. *Free 15 min Consultation Phone Call*
Depression often accompanies ADHD. A life time of experiencing struggles with self regulation, masking symptoms, feeling hopeless and without proper support can lead to depression. I use CBT and DBT to help support individuals reframe negative thoughts, while coaching encouraging behaviour change to facilitate motivation, in order to help you meet your goals.
When you feel you reached the nadir in your despair, it can be difficult to see hope. Depression is a lonely disease, but you do not have to face it alone.
I work with clients to help them reframe their thinking so that they can feel their mood lift. I use CBT and EFT approaches in this type of work while teaching coping strategies to help alleviate feelings of depression.
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.
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.
While everyone feels down from time to time, the experience of clinical depression is something else entirely. Clinical depression can include many physical symptoms, like changes in energy, exhaustion, sleep problems, and body pains, as well as overwhelming negative thoughts that can make it difficult to think that you will ever feel better. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, we will slowly work on identifying these negative thoughts and slowly help you start doing the things that are important to you in your life, which breaks the cycle of depression.
Depression counseling with me is centered on providing a supportive and understanding environment where individuals can openly discuss their feelings and challenges. I focus on identifying the underlying causes of depression and developing personalized coping strategies. My goal is to help clients find hope, regain their sense of joy, and build a foundation for a more fulfilling life.
Depression is more than just feeling sad or down. You can't just "suck it up" or "tough out" when it comes to depression. Unfortunately, depression is incredibly common in men, and part of the reason for this is how society views depression in men.
Depression affects the way you think, feel and act, and depression can cause you to lose interest in activities you previously found enjoyable.
Even though depression can feel permanent, with the right tools and strategies, your life can significantly improve with treatment.
If you're struggling with depression, you know how overwhelming and debilitating it can be. Depression can impact all areas of your life, including relationships, work, and personal growth. But there is hope. Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) can be a powerful tool to help you overcome depression and achieve lasting change.
RTT works by accessing the subconscious mind to identify and reprogram negative beliefs and thought patterns that may be contributing to depression. Through a combination of hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, and neuroscience, RTT can help you break free from negative thought patterns and develop new, positive habits and coping strategies.
Whether you struggle with chronic depression or situational depression, RTT can help. By identifying the root causes of depression and replacing negative beliefs with positive, empowering ones, RTT can help you overcome depression and achieve lasting change.
Depression can be a challenging and isolating experience, but with RTT, you can gain the tools and resources you need to overcome it. RTT provides a safe and supportive space to explore your experiences and emotions, and develop new ways of thinking and behaving that support your mental health.
Don't let depression control your life. With RTT, you can overcome depression and achieve lasting change. Take the first step towards a happier, healthier future today.
