Many things in our lives can contribute to feelings of sadness, hopelessness, loneliness, isolation, and disconnection from the world around us. In our work together, aim to reduce the effects of social factors that contribute to depression, such as work or stress overload, demands of society, powerlessness in specific areas of your life, poverty, and racism, to name a few. In addition, we can explore coping strategies and learn about your nervous system that brings you into a freeze/depressed state. Regulating the nervous system and engaging in somatic and mindfulness practices is one of the approaches I tend to take.

Anxiety and depression can have a profound impact on work, relationships, and personal life, so it's important to receive a proper diagnosis in order to take the right steps to manage your mental health.

Depression is a nasty monster that wants to cover you up, place you in the corner, and keep from the world. It is important to understand that you are not the problem. The problem is the problem! Approaching depression as something to fight against, puts you in a position of power. Depression is not an all or nothing battle cured by a magic pill or single treatment. The secret to winning this battle is one behavior at a time. By making small changes and conscious positive choices you can gain ground in the fight against depression and will be surprised at how fast and easy it was to step out into a bright and sunny future.

Depression is often associated with negative beliefs about oneself and the world, and EMDR can help to desensitize and reprocess these negative beliefs, leading to a more adaptive and positive worldview. Through the use of bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping, EMDR can help to process the distressing memories and beliefs, reducing the intensity of the emotional response and increasing emotional resilience. By addressing the underlying negative beliefs, EMDR can help to alleviate symptoms of depression and improve overall mood and well-being.

Depression can be experienced in a magnitude of ways and is often experienced differently by each individual. Symptoms may range from feeling increasingly irritable, experiencing a sense of emptiness and hopelessness, and an individual often will feel completely overwhelmed, losing interest in activities they once enjoyed. Depression may also be experienced physically. Physical symptoms may include, but are not limited to a lack of energy, problems sleeping, pronounced weight changes, and eventually, even serious illness. In cases of mild to moderate depression, there is an increasing amount of research supporting counselling as effective as medication in improving a person’s mood. Many clients have been referred to counselling by their family doctor when...(view profile to read more)

I hold space for clients to express their pain and sadness first and foremost; this can be an empowering and effective tool, especially for those who haven't had a chance to explore or express these feelings at all. I also work to empower my clients through building awareness of triggers and coping strategies and by exploring potential underlying causes which can help clients move forward in a deeper manner.

We will go over looking at the proof of their thoughts and the proof against their thoughts. We will also look at reframing negative thoughts into realistic thoughts overall. We will go over strategies that can be helpful when the client is started to get depressed.

When one is depressed the range of thoughts and feelings encompass a wide spectrum. Sadness and despair might be pervasive. One can feel as if they have fallen into a deep dark pit where everything is covered in negativity and hopelessness. In this state, one can feel inadequate, discouraged, unable or unwilling to make decisions. In addition, guilt, shame, profound low self-esteem and loss of interest in relationships, sex, career and even life itself are commonly found. A variety of evidence-based tools, specific to the needs of the individual, applied skillfully at the right time, can dramatically lift one out of that deep, dark pit and help avoid relapse.

Depression is extremely complex - at times it can completely turn your life upside down and rob you of any joy or happiness that you previously felt. Yet other times it can also show up in more subtle ways throughout your life, almost unknowingly at first. Every person is different but one commonality with depression is that it can make you feel incredibly alone and self-deprecating. Isolation feeds depression and hinders our functioning. My aim is to create a compassionate relationship so that you don’t feel alone. I’ll offer empathy and kindness while we gently work as a team to find what works for you in your journey towards a healthier mind.

Through the process of exploring the possible causes of their feelings of depression, it is my hope that clients will discover that they do have the capability of addressing these issues. Clients will learn that they do have choices in how they view specific situations, and that they have choices in how they respond to challenges in their lives. Clients will benefit from learning communication skills that will encourage them to more effectively express needs and feelings to significant people in their lives. Moreover, it is my hope that as clients come to greater self-awareness, they will develop a kinder and more gentle acceptance of Self.

That feeling of being "off" all the time and not seeing brightness in anything describes depression. Depression is like walking around with a heavy blanket. Your feet can feel like lead and the world around you lacking in color. Working with a therapist breaks down the thought that know one can understand what you are feeling or that you will always feel this way and there is no hope for change. There is hope for healing and recovery from depression. You can learn how to find the roots and take steps towards a lighter, brighter future.

Feelings of depression can originate from many different sources, including issues related to addiction, the effects of addiction, infidelity, difficult childhoods, dysfunctional families of origin, and the impact of past hurts and coping patterns. By offering a setting that is based on trust, empathy, and collaboration, counselling can provide you with a safe and supportive space to explore your thoughts and emotions while creating a deeper, more authentic understanding of who you are, what you need, and the dynamics that you are navigating. It is possible to thrive and be well no matter what you have been through, and counselling can help with this.
