Depression Therapy in Calgary
When the Light Feels Far Away, Let’s Find It Together
“The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind.”
— Caroline Myss
The Weight You’re Carrying
Depression is not just sadness — it is a quiet heaviness that can settle into your bones, making even the simplest tasks feel impossible. It can show up as exhaustion, irritability, disconnection, or a loss of interest in things that once brought joy. For some, it is a fog that never lifts. For others, it is a constant inner voice whispering self-doubt, guilt, or hopelessness.
If you are living with depression, I want you to know your experience makes sense, and it deserves to be met with care. And you do not have to keep carrying this weight by yourself.
Understanding Depression
Depression affects how you think, feel, move, and relate. It can touch every part of your life — your relationships, your work, your sense of self. It does not always have a clear cause. Sometimes it is shaped by past trauma, chronic stress, burnout, grief, or family dynamics. Sometimes it is biological. And sometimes, it simply arrives without warning.
I work with children, teens, and adults because depression does not discriminate by age. Whether you are navigating postpartum depression, seasonal lows, or long-standing emotional numbness, therapy offers a space to begin again — with compassion and care.
What Clients Often Say
Clients who seek depression therapy often share:
- “I feel numb, like I’m just going through the motions.”
- “I don’t recognize myself anymore.”
- “I’m tired all the time, even when I sleep.”
- “I want to feel something — anything — but I can’t.”
- “I feel guilty for not being able to ‘snap out of it.’”
These are not failures. They are signs that your nervous system is overwhelmed and asking for support.

My Approach
I do not rush healing. I offer a space where you can show up exactly as you are — tired, unsure, or even silent. I will meet you there. My approach is gentle, relational, and grounded in evidence-based care. We will move at your pace, exploring the emotional, physical, and relational layers of your experience.
