Depression Therapy in Ottawa

Reconnect with meaning, routine, and small steps forward, at a pace that feels possible.

What this can feel like

You might recognize some of this

Depression can feel like low mood and lost motivation, where the things that used to matter feel far away.

  • Low mood and loss of motivation
  • Fatigue and withdrawal from people or activities
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Changes in sleep or appetite
  • Feeling stuck, numb, or disconnected

If low mood has been lingering and everyday tasks feel heavier than they should, you don't have to push through it alone.

How I help

My approach

I focus on helping clients reconnect with meaning, routine, and small achievable steps forward. This includes behavioural activation strategies, exploring thought patterns that maintain low mood, and building self-compassion and emotional awareness so change feels more possible and sustainable.

What sessions may include

  • Behavioural activation to rebuild routine and momentum
  • Exploring thought patterns that keep low mood going
  • Building self-compassion and emotional awareness
  • Small, achievable steps toward what matters
