I have been in the education and social wellness field for almost 20 years, specializing in counselling individuals, couples, and families to live purposeful, joy filled lives by focusing on Mental and Emotional work first. As Alfred Adler suggested, “first we think, then we feel, and then we act”. I help individuals navigate through issues related to stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I have a special interest in working with couples and relationship issues. My approach relies on extensive experience in Solution Focused Brief Therapy, TEAM-CBT, and MI.

Depression is a mental health disorder that has significant impacts on a person’s ability to regulate their emotions and may often lead to slowed speech and communication problems among other somatic and cognitive changes that significantly affect the individual’s capacity to function. In working with clients experiencing depression, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and other Strengths-based approaches to identify the cause(s), its effects on the individual and close family, friends, work, and other areas of the individual's life as we work towards overcoming depression and turning the client's life around.

Our biology and the way we think plays a pivotal role in depression. I will teach you how to measure your moods and several revolutionary strategies that will change your life.

The good news is that therapy can be your guiding light out of this darkness. It's a journey to resolve the pain and hopelessness, to break free from depression's grip and reclaim your life.

Everyone is unique, and therapy offers personalized remedies to lift you out of that pit of despair. Your healing begins here, and you don't have to travel this road alone.

Is depression holding you back from living a happy and fulfilled life? Often, people feel depressed because their thoughts are dark and negative, catastrophic, black and white or over-generalized. These irrational negative thoughts can lead to a sense of hopelessness and helplessness. Learning strategies to help you swap irrational thoughts for more realistic thoughts is a step in the right direction. Working together, we can help you lift the heavy weight and free you to find more joy in life.

Depression robs us of so much in our lives; decision-making suffers, we lose the ability to motivate ourselves, we are generally sad, blue and quite often hopeless. There are numerous anti-depressant medications out there that work well, but quite often people don't want that route. Counseling can help, either on its own or in conjunction with medications. I use a mix of therapies and techniques to best suit the individual client. Cognitive Behavioral therapy is the traditional treatment for depression but there are some newer therapies showing some good results; mindfulness is one that helps treat the whole person, positivity psychology is showing that positivity can help change moods.

Self-rejection and anger turned inward can contribute to depression. I will help you develop self-compassion, learn to set healthy boundaries and cultivate resiliency.

Walk with you as you move toward understanding and choosing how things can be better in the future.

In working with depression I start by exploring one's range of emotion, and work over time to exploring that which is meaningful and important to someone. I use a lot of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps us to see that even though we are going through a very difficult time, we are living our lives according to what is imporant to us. I also use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in correlation to being 'aware of the body', as a means of changing emotion and thoughts through physical symptoms and behaviour. Above all I listen to my client as they are the best judge of what is and is not working for them.

Depression can feel overwhelming, like you just are not quite yourself. You might feel like everything is a struggle or that you are in a darkness where there is hurt. You might feel worthless or purposeless. I can help you to emerge from this state and give hope that there is light at the end of the dark tunnel. I use many different modalities of treatment including CBT, ACT, narrative, and hypnotherapy to help you on your journey to wellness.

Depression is the body's way of signalling that all has not been well for awhile. Negative emotions are simply unfinished, unprocessed emotions.Bev will explore with client what difficulties and stressors client has been struggling with. A Depression Screening Chart will always be filled out by Bev during the first session and then as she and the client work, further Depression Screenings may be done. It is encouraging for client to see tangible evidence that he/she has made improvements.Changes happen as client's feelings are validated, unresolved problems addressed, losses grieved and solutions implemented. De-stressors are also taught. Client begins to feel empowered to manage life again.

Many of us make our problems out to be much bigger than they are; fortunately, a counseling technique called externalizing the problem can help. Externalizing the problem helps us gain a better perspective: rather than personalizing it, clients in therapy are able to separate themselves from the problem at hand. Therapists employ this technique by personifying their client’s problem: for instance, they will refer to the problem as “it” and “the”. A lot of our problems are rooted in negative thought patterns, of which we can also identify and reframe; common examples include mind reading and labeling. It’s important that we all understand and acknowledge our negative thoughts and put in the work to replace them with more positive thoughts—a counselor or therapist can help.
