Counselling for Depression

You’ve been feeling unmotivated, disconnected, and hard on yourself. You’re withdrawing more than you used to. It may feel like you’re constantly trying just to stay afloat — putting in effort, but not actually getting anywhere. And perhaps one of the hardest parts is feeling misunderstood. People tell you to “just get out,” “stay busy,” or “think positive,” but that advice doesn’t touch the heaviness you’re carrying.

Trying to manage this on your own can feel frustrating, frightening, lonely, and exhausting. Maybe you’ve attempted different strategies — routines, distractions, self-help tools — yet nothing seems to shift in a lasting way. You may even be wondering whether you’ll ever feel like yourself again.

If this resonates, you may be experiencing depression. You are not alone, and healing is possible.

Common Symptoms of Depression

• Ongoing sadness, anxiety, or a sense of emptiness
• Irritability, agitation, or restlessness
• Loss of interest in activities that once felt enjoyable
• Changes in sleep and appetite
• Difficulty concentrating and making decisions
• Feelings of hopelessness, guilt, or worthlessness
• Unexplained physical pain or gastrointestinal concerns
• Social withdrawal

How I Can Help

I use evidence-based treatments for depressive disorders, including:

• Major Depressive Disorder
• Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia)
• Bipolar Disorder
• Postpartum Depression
• Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)

My work integrates approaches such as ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), CBT, Mindfulness, EMDR, and Internal Family Systems (IFS).

Treatment Can Help You:

• Understand the neurobiological underpinnings of depression
• Reduce and manage depressive symptoms
• Develop healthier coping patterns for stress
• Feel more grounded and regain a sense of agency
• Build skills to navigate difficult days more effectively

Depression can narrow your world, but it does not have to define your future. With the right support, movement is possible — even when it feels out of reach right now.
