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 make you loose interest in activities that used to bring you joy. Do you feel like nothing holds meaning anymore? Have you withdrawn from friends and family, increasingly isolating yourself and disconnected from peers? Perhaps you find it tough to get out of bed and have feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt, when some situation's were not your fault. If your depression is making it difficult to see any light at the end of the tunnel.
Depression presents in various forms and has many different features. When working with me, you will find that space is created to explore the experience of depression, its influence on different aspects of your life, and how you can work through these challenges as they arise. If you are hoping to find solace in your experience, I invite you to contact me for a free consultation to see if we would be a good fit.
It's normal to experience occasional feelings of sadness, but when these emotions start to disrupt our daily routines, it may indicate a more significant problem.
Major Depressive Disorder is a prevalent mental health condition that can affect individuals from all backgrounds, regardless of age or gender. The symptoms of depression can impact every aspect of one's life.
Many people struggle with depression symptoms for extended periods before seeking assistance. If you suspect that you may be experiencing depression, we encourage you to book a consultation with one of our mental health specialists who can provide effective tools to manage and overcome this condition.
Being depressed leaves your feeling helpless and hopeless. You may be overwhelmed by sadness or feel irritated and angry all the time. You may feel lonely and fear you are a burden. You may find it impossible to get out of bed or participate in your life. You may just feel nothing at all. Therapy can help you to uncover the root of your depression and learn to regulate your emotions, manage intrusive negative thought patterns, and motivate and support you in taking control of your life and your healing. Therapy can help. Please reach out for a free consult to determine if I am the right therapist to help you.

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.
Are you feeling hopeless, isolated and not your usual self?
Do these thoughts often enter your mind?
I feel worthless and can’t do anything about it.
I feel guilty for just wanting to eat, sleep and be alone.
I hate who I am these days.
I can’t stop crying, which makes me want to stay away from others.
I feel gut wrenching pain, but no one understands.
My life and the world around me are dark. I hate it, but I can’t change it.
If you have had any variation of these thoughts and don’t feel like your usual self, chances are you may be suffering from depression.
I want you to know that you are not alone and there are people who can help. Many of my clients find relief in realizing that their struggle does not own them and that there are many options available to once again have hope for their lives.
I understand the social stigmas that come with label of being depressed, and thus aim to help clients sort out their environmental, biological and circumstantial factors while offering support and care through a dark time in their lives.

While everybody will feel sad and even depressed, depression is something different. My focus is on helping a person who is feeling depressed to avoid sliding into true depression. When a person has depression, we work together to identify the cause(s) of the depression and what is keeping it going. Then we can try to figure out how to reduce the symptoms and move towards a happier life.
Navigating the depths of depression can feel isolating and overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. Our therapists specialize in providing compassionate support and evidence-based therapies tailored to each individual’s unique experience with depression. By fostering a safe environment for exploration and healing, they help clients uncover underlying issues, develop coping strategies, and cultivate a renewed sense of hope and purpose in their lives.
