Depression can impact several or all elements of a persons life. It can leave a person feeling debilitated, helpless and isolated. It can be chronic, or situational and can range from mild - severe. My approach to working with clients who experience depression is to provide a compassionate and caring environment that gently encourages them to understand the root of the depression and factors that impact it, both negative and positive. We do this together with the hope in mind that by understanding, addressing and healing the hurts, we can understand the linkage between the depression in order to re-frame it and renew a sense of hopefulness.

As someone who has a history of depression personally and intergenerationally, I am well aware of the great challenges and opportunities for growth that this experience can bring. For those struggling with depression, healing can feel elusive, as if nothing will ever work. It often requires a wider lens, an eye for patterns and a deeply supportive and holistic orientation to shift this dynamic. My approach comes from my years of experience moving through and finally out of my own depression and integrating the ancestral patterns that laid the foundation for it in my life. I now come to you with a wide-reaching tool kit to support you in your journey.

MY APPROACH TO COUNSELLING FOR DEPRESSION STARTS WITH A BRIEF EXPLANATION OF ITS OCCURRING: Small amount of stress can be managed easily and may not negatively impact your health, however, too much stress can contribute to worsening depression and anxiety, because high levels of stress increase adrenaline levels which makes it impossible for you to slow down, unwind and rejuvenate. That is when I come in to support you. I work together with you to identify the most challenging situations and find ways to manage them, determine how to discard your inner critic, develop tools to decrease stress, replace negative coping skills with positive ones, so that you gain your life back...

The good news, depression can be managed. I would help the client to learn about their depression including how to manage their depression through the implementation of differing wellness techniques. A balance of overall wellness is necessary to help manage depression. The implementation of cognitive behavioral therapy helps manage and challenge distorted cognitive thinking and behaviors. The form of therapy used can help to shift consciousness which helps to evoke change and ongoing growth and development. The analogy of an iceberg is a great way to define and outline what's taking place within an individual suffering in silence with depression.
