Living with depression is challenging. Using CBT and DBT strategies, I work with you to create manageable goals that will help to cultivate positive experiences and emotions. We will work together to determine what would be most beneficial to you and where to start. Throughout the process, we will challenge negative thinking, develop emotional regulation skills, and learn how to tolerate distress. Focus is also placed on your unique strengths, abilities, and the power you have to take control of your life and enjoy it to the fullest.

Depression is something that all humans share, whether they are able to admit it or not. However, when that depression impacts our functionality to a point where it intrudes and prevents us from being & feeling whole, learning new skills and methods to manage our feelings, can be the difference for some between life and having no life. Using a variety of techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Reality/Choice Theory, Solution Focused & Existential Therapy, we can examine how our minds blend our worries, stress, fears, doubts, self-esteem, self-image, concerns and projections into a soup mix that threatens to overwhelm us, and halt it in its tracks. You can learn to rise above it.

Depression can be a debilitating mental health issue, but the good news is there are excellent therapies out there designed to help treat it! Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) has been shown to be one of the most effective treatments in helping with depression. CBT is a shorter term and skills-based therapy intended to help individuals learn strategies to better manage their mood and improve the quality of their life. I'd be happy to discuss more about CBT for depression with you!
