I use CBT to help improve depression symptoms. We explore: causes, triggers and symptoms to work on. I use behavioral activation to help make a list of enjoyable activities that you can begin with. Having someone to listen empathically is immensely useful. Helping to understand early signs of depression is also essential so that you can intervene to help yourself as early as possible.

When life becomes too much, it’s easy to become socially withdrawn and mentally disconnected from the world around us.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.

Depression can feel like a never-ending dark tunnel in which hope, purpose, joy, and motivation to live life can seem impossible. Depression can also lead us to feel disconnected from the very things that make life worth living and it can also make reaching out for help challenging. Should you decide to reach out for help, I will work with you to safely explore how depression has been affecting you and identify some of the factors that may have led you to feel depressed. I will also support you in developing tools to cope with depression so that you can experience a greater sense of connection and purpose within your life.

Depression has the ability to severely impact our daily lives, often making small everyday tasks difficult. Those who are affected by depression may be left with lack of motivation, low self-esteem and disinterest in the things they used to enjoy the most. What they could once do effortlessly may become one of the greatest challenges. Navigating depression can feel really lonely and scary, but I am here to walk that journey with you and to help you reconnect with your passions and joys. Contact me today to book a free consultation.

Depression is a normal response to a lack of joy or purpose in our lives or to a disappointing or tragic event. If we have been the victims of trauma, thoughts of that event(s) and associated thoughts such as shame, guilt, low self-worth, etc. can trigger depression. As with most emotional response, understanding the origins of our depression is crucial to reducing it. Changing our perceptions and thoughts around events, persons and our own worth and purpose can lead to increased joy and reduced depression.

Depression is a difficult challenge to overcome. I use a combination of narrative and cognitive-behavioural approaches to addressing this issue. Clients can expect to learn about how their thoughts patterns impact their mood and vice versa, and will also learn about how to use behavioural activation to increase motivation. They can also expect to explore the underlying roots to their experiences of depression, as well as the attributes, knowledges or intentions they have to put up against the depression.

About 1/3 of the population eventually suffers from depression (CMHA). Only family doctors, psychiatrists and psychologists are qualified to diagnose depression. My first recommendation is likely to be for you to discuss your concerns with your family doctor. If a person’s feelings of depression are occurring “out of the blue” and believed to be of a chemical nature, family physicians or psychiatrists may recommend medication. Social workers (like me) provide talk therapy. I can help you take an honest look at what may be contributing to depressive feelings in terms of your thought patterns, current and past events and relationships in order to help you gain skills to decrease symptoms.

Depression can make a person feel as if the world has gone dark and nothing can bring them joy. Utilizing effective therapeutic methods, I can help you identify factors that contribute to depression and help you find ways to adapt to those situations. We will set realistic goals for the future, identify distorted thought processes or unhelpful behaviours that contribute to feelings of hopelessness and helplessness and develop skills to cope and prevent future episodes of depression.

Depression is not just "feeling down"; rather, it is a persistent state of sadness and despair. It can affect you body, your mood. and your internal thought processes. Depression is a common illness; however, therapy is often required to get better. If help is not received, depression can last weeks, months, or even years. With proper treatment, symptoms of depression tend to do away.

Depression is a sign that we are no longer able to adapt to the complex and stressful world we live in. Our biological bodies and brains were not designed for the financial, cultural, social, and relational stressors we live with today. We see depression as a pivotal moment in one's life - as a reminder to start listening to our body, mind, and spirit. If you are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, sad, fearful, stuck or on autopilot, we can help you get at the root of these feelings and work through them to attain relief.

Depression is a change in mood that can lead to loss of concentration, increased reactivity, feelings of sadness, and a loss of interest in everyday activities. Depression usually develops over time, so we are unaware it is present. It will surface when we are under stress, grieving a loss, or facing life changes we did not choose, like a marital break-up, a pregnancy loss, or being laid off from work. A major depression or clinical depression can also occur due to a chemical imbalance in the brain. In these situations, we need medical assistance to move forward from a depressive event. However, most people find talk therapy improves their mood. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation today

Depression is an insidious companion, and can creep its way in without us realizing for some time. Shifting a depressed mindset can be extremely difficult but neuroimaging studies have shown that by practicing mindfulness we can begin to alter those well-trodden neural pathways and shift our neurochemistry by promoting the production of neurotransmitters linked to feelings of happiness. Psychotherapy can help you identify mindfulness activities and other tools that can help to promote the production of these neurotransmitters and deliver results rooted in neuroscience. I can offer an alternative perspective and act as the catalyst you need to begin making the shift out of depression.

Being depressed is not about being "lazy". It is about addressing the feeling of walking through waist high mud, or even quick sand sometimes, to complete daily tasks. First of all we do this by addressing any risks. Then we can explore Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to work on acceptance, exploring hope, creating short-term/long-term goals, addressing root issues, focusing on behaviour activation with the potential use of exposure therapy. The idea is to improve your daily performance while creating a game plan for risk and any set backs.
