Depression is often a response to having experienced profound psychological pain. It is a way for us to retreat or numb ourselves from the overwhelming emotions of such stressful circumstances. It acts as a protective shield in a way. In therapy, we will work towards addressing the underlying sources that are contributing to feelings of deep sadness. This can be a difficult task and as such it can be helpful to include strategies alongside our reflective work which may include CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, and Behavioural Activation.

When it comes to depression, I believe that small change leads to bigger change. In my work with clients who experience feelings of depression, I take a more concrete, solution-focused approach and aid clients in taking small steps towards a greater goal, all while soliciting strengths and resources and moving at the client’s pace. In doing so, my hope is to help clients see how capable they are and transfer this knowledge into other domains of their lives. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to ensure we are a good fit.

Specializing in how the implicit body memory can be reorganized to understand how to move the stuck energies of depression through relational, body-oriented psychotherapy approaches.
My approach to depression centres on understanding its unique impact on you, employing mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral techniques to light the path towards hope and renewal. I draw on narrative therapy to help you reshape your story, finding meaning and strength in experiences, and moving forward with a renewed sense of purpose. I provide a compassionate space to explore and transform feelings of despair and I help you navigate the fog of sadness, employing a combination of therapeutic techniques to reignite your inner spark and engage fully with life.
In addressing depression, I primarily utilize expressive arts therapy, grounded in the principle that expression is the antithesis of depression. This approach recognizes that expanding one's capacity for creative play can significantly broaden the spectrum of emotional experience in daily life.
Our therapeutic process focuses on:
Engaging in various artistic modalities to externalize and process emotions
Exploring the transformative power of creative expression
Expanding the range of play to counteract depressive states
Translating creative experiences into daily life practices
Through guided artistic exploration, we work to unlock suppressed emotions, challenge negative thought patterns, and cultivate new perspectives. This process aims to reignite a sense of vitality and possibility that depression often obscures.
The goal is to empower clients to develop a more expansive emotional vocabulary and a broader repertoire of coping strategies. By fostering creativity and playfulness, we seek to infuse daily life with greater meaning, joy, and resilience, ultimately supporting long-term emotional well-being.
Do you feel sad or low, and spirit seems to be dimming? Does everything seem less meaningful, and you find it difficult to enjoy life? Now is the time that you seek professional help. I help my clients with developing positive attitude towards life through minor changes in thoughts and behavior patterns. Contact me today and allow me to introduce you to your best self and design a happier repertoire.
