When depression is in a serious stage, it demolishes the body. When it appears, it is often triggered and intertwined with deadly emotions. My therapy is based on CBT treatment. Firstly, talk openly and connect to a therapist for decreasing self-isolation. Secondly is learning to manage and reduce anxiety symptoms.Thirdly, improve self awareness. It is crucial to gain a deeper understanding of your emotions, thoughts, and behaviours. Fourthly, increase self-esteem. Rebuild your sense of self-worth by feeling more confident and positive about yourself. Fifthly, enhance Motivation. Identify your values and goals by working towards a more fulfilling life. I will be an empathetic listener.

Depression can make it a challenge to do the basics, to feel motivated, and to give us a feeling of self-worth. It can defeat us and leave us feeling hopeless. I believe that there is a way through small steps, sometimes the smallest, to start to establish that depression does not have to take hold of our lives. Sometimes medication is necessary as well and it is also important to ensure the client's safety in case of self-harm thoughts.

Depression affects the mind and the body. It can lead to isolation, health problems and difficulties maintaining all of your relationships. You may have lost sight of your personal resources and feel like your brain is spinning out of control. I can help you find your way back by: supporting you with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) where we examine and challenge your thinking and acting; using Neurofeedback (NFB) to retrain your brain to self regulate, staying out of depression; or with EMDR where I help you to resolve trauma or past hurts, allowing you to get to a place of emotional well being by lessening the emotional charge.

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.

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.

When I counsel clients with depression, I focus on helping them become aware of their thoughts and feelings without judgment. I use mindfulness techniques, like meditation and breathing exercises, to encourage them to stay present and observe their experiences. This practice helps reduce rumination and promotes acceptance of difficult emotions. By fostering mindfulness, I guide clients to detach from negative thought patterns, build resilience, and develop a balanced perspective, enhancing their ability to cope with depressive symptoms.

I work with clients to manage symptoms of depression, which can be accompanied with a sense of helplessness and hopelessness that can create a negative valence around an individual’s daily functioning. A persistent feeling of sadness and doom can be accompanied with a loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyable. While the causes of depression can be related to brain chemistry, genetics, stressful life events, and medical conditions, CBT can be effective in identifying the interactions between one’s thoughts, behaviours, emotions, and their environment. Healthy coping mechanisms such as eating healthy, exercise, adequate sleep, and managing stress levels can help combat depression

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.

Depression is very common amongst a lot of people. Most of us go through various ups and downs in our life, and sometimes we need a little help getting through a down period. When a client is depressed, similar to when a client is angry, I would help them in determining the root cause of the depression as it is critical for treatment planning. Once determined, we would discuss a treatment plan together that is realistically attainable. I would empower my client to recognize their strengths and abilities to manage their depression, such as looking at similar situations from their past that they have managed successfully.

Depression can color how we see the world, ourselves and other people. Activities that used to be fun are not fun anymore and doing small things can feel like a chore. We might lose our sense of meaning and purpose and struggle to motivate ourselves. I want you know that there is hope, even if you cannot fully feel it right now. When working with depression, I help my clients to develop skills to improve their mood . Sometimes making little changes can help you feel better, which results in hope and lead to more hope and create an upward spiral. I also always help my clients heal the roots of their depression since this is an important part of recovering from depression.

Depression may be the result of difficulties you have been struggling with for years, or due to a sudden shock. When we feel helpless to manage our struggles, that is depressing indeed! Symptoms of depression, such as sleeplessness, eating difficulties, lack of energy etc. only make the situation worse. There are always reasons why our bodies and emotions react the way they do. We may fear that there is no way to feel better but in over 30 years, I have never found that to be true. Every life is unique and we need to find out what is holding you back. This is not something you can handle alone but in a safe, private space we can explore and change the conditions that keep you depressed.

Depression is so very common in people seeking therapy, and it is also a thief which steals our quality of life from us. It steals our joy and happiness, our energy and motivation, and sometimes even our desire to live. It is a trickster, too, telling us lies by painting our lives and the world as dark and negative in nature until we come to believe it. Counselling or therapy, particularly Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, can help. I have seen depression in action and it helps me appreciate how much it can hurt. I have deep compassion and believe in your capacity to heal. I will never tell you to "just get over it" and can make recommendations that will help.

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.
