Depression is a way of our body reacting to events as well as to lack of attachment with the people that surrounds us. Attachment is very important in order to help the person with the depression because we are social beings; where it has been proven that people that ave a healthy support system are able to deal with the symptoms of depression better than the people that face it alone

Sadness and Depression are often challenges we may encounter in our lifetime. Feelings, thoughts and behaviors associated with them can at times overwhelm and even paralyze us with their power. In a supportive and empathic environment I help clients understand these feelings, progress through their isolation with them, find a way through their tight hold and learn to live productively again.

Getting to the root of one's depression, why it occurs, and how it presents itself is imperative in understanding how one can remedy it. By working with clients to explore and comprehensively understand their depression, we will be able to better manage, mitigate, or eliminate the cognitions, behaviours, and feelings tied to our depression. How we became depressed is only the first step in ones work on depression; figuring out how to create change, support, and maintain change is the bulk of it.

Being depressed leaves your feeling helpless and hopeless. You may be overwhelmed by sadness or feel irritated and angry all the time. You may feel lonely and fear you are a burden. You may find it impossible to get out of bed or participate in your life. You may just feel nothing at all. Therapy can help you to uncover the root of your depression and learn to regulate your emotions, manage intrusive negative thought patterns, and motivate and support you in taking control of your life and your healing. Therapy can help. Please reach out for a free consult to determine if I am the right therapist to help you.

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.

The lack of energy and interest that join depression can be debilitating. Not wanting to see family or friends, or even get out of bed is a reality for many with depression. How do we create a life worth living and spark up that fire of life? Let's work together to build a life for you that is worth living. Let's offer you a space to just be while we do so.

Depression can be a debilitating and hopeless place to be. It is often connected to difficult life experiences and sometimes genetically predisposed. I believe in a holistic form of treatment considering health and care of the body, soul and spirit. One should never walk alone through depression for all they see is 'darkness' - seek God, others and the help of therapy in order to show you the 'light'. I believe the 'light' represents truth, hope and renewed vision for life!

Depression is a sadness that accompanies us wherever we go stealing our experience of happiness and joy. Others often do not understand that depression has changed our vision of a colorful, vibrant world to one of varying shades of gray. Depression can make tasks that were once completed without much thought like taking a shower, brushing one's teeth, or even getting out of bed, feel like an overwhelming challenge. Activities and people that we once enjoyed, no longer bring pleasure. "Why can't I just snap out of it?!" I use an integrative approach to therapy providing an empathetic, supportive dynamic to empower you to change your emotional experience of life.
