Depression Counselling in Centre Wellington, ON.

Depression is one of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we experience and occur for many of us at some point in our lives. The accompaying lack of motivation, low energy, reduced enjoyment in activities, changes to sleep and appetite, and patterns of negative thinking can be extremely distressing and disruptive to our lives. Through treatment with therapy, it is possible to recover motivation, find new perspective, reconnect with the joy that you once had in your life, and find greater freedom and balance.

You may be feeling stuck and alone in your pain; but, I promise, many of us have felt this pain, and you are most definitely not alone in feeling this way. You may be carrying old wounds that keep resurfacing making it difficult to focus on the here and now. I provide a nonjudgmental space where you can explore the root of this pain and begin to connect with yourself and the world around you. Together, we can work on developing a compassionate inner voice, get curious about what this pained part of you might need, and find ways to cultivate hope for healing. Please reach out so you're not navigating this alone...

Depression is often associated with symptoms such as fatigue, loss of motivation, loss of pleasure, withdrawal, and feelings of sadness. Often, when individuals feel depressed, they stop engaging in activities they enjoy which can perpetuate depressive symptoms. There are a variety of evidence-based approaches to explore depression. Together, we will decide which approach is best for you. Please contact me to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to determine if we are a good fit.

When I work with people who are weighed down with symptoms of depression, I find that it is important to remember two things: go slowly, and go together. Employing a trauma informed, family systems and somatic lens to what you are experiencing can help provide insight into how to move through and manage it. Journeying with clients through their depression is a great honour, and is something I take very seriously. I find that for many people, holding onto hope that things could be different, is something that can seem too much. Part of my commitment to working through depression is that, until you are ready, I will hold onto hope for both us.

I provide compassionate, evidence-based counseling for depression and bipolar disorder, tailored to your unique needs. Using a person-centered, trauma-informed approach, I integrate CBT, DBT, Interpersonal Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help manage depressive episodes, mania, and hypomania, build resilience, and regain stability. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your emotions, develop coping strategies, and work toward meaningful change. Whether you're struggling with persistent sadness, mood swings, or emotional dysregulation, I’m here to support your journey toward healing and growth.

When life becomes too much, it’s easy to become socially withdrawn and mentally disconnected from the world around us. It can feel like you're stuck and don't know how to get out. But you’re not alone and you don’t have to navigate these concerns alone. Seeking help is a strength and a great first step in the right direction to prioritizing your mental wellness and taking back control over your life.
