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.

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 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.

Let's destroy depression so it never wants to hang out with you again because you're too bad ass for it! Having experienced loss or feeling incredibly broken hearted is ok. These are part of life. These emotions are part of being human. It's just not okay to stay here for long periods of time. Let's get you honouring your experience, respecting your memories, and then back into living and enjoying life!

When it comes to depression, I believe that small change leads to bigger change. In my work with clients who experience feelings of depression, I take a more concrete, solution-focused approach and aid clients in taking small steps towards a greater goal, all while soliciting strengths and resources and moving at the client’s pace. In doing so, my hope is to help clients see how capable they are and transfer this knowledge into other domains of their lives. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to ensure we are a good fit.

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.

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.

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 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. Contact me or book a free consultation if you wish to learn more.
