Depression Counselling
Feeling Numb, Disconnected, or Just Going Through the Motions?
As a First Responder or Healthcare Worker, you're trained to handle crises and care for others, often at the expense of your own well-being. But when depression sets in, even getting through a normal day can feel impossible. You may feel exhausted, numb, isolated, or like you’ve lost a part of yourself.
You want to feel like you again, but you don’t know where to begin.
You Don’t Have to Carry This Alone.
As a trauma-informed therapist who understands the demands of high-stress, frontline roles, I’m here to walk alongside you.
I Offer a Clear, Compassionate Path Forward:
In our sessions, we’ll work together in a safe, non-judgmental space to understand what’s really going on, without pressure or pretense. We'll explore how chronic stress, trauma exposure, or past experiences may be impacting your mood and your ability to cope.
Together, We’ll:
Set meaningful and realistic goals
Reframe unhelpful thought patterns
Strengthen tools for communication, boundaries, and self-advocacy
Practice practical strategies for stress relief, problem-solving, and emotional regulation
You’ll begin to feel more grounded, empowered, and connected—in your work, in your relationships, and in yourself.
Let’s Take That First Step, Together.
You don’t have to figure this out on your own. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can talk about what you're going through and see if we're a good fit.
You show up for others every day. This time, let someone show up for you.
Who Is Depression Counselling For?
If you're a First Responder or Healthcare Professional, you’ve likely been taught to put your own needs last. But depression doesn’t discriminate. It can show up in quiet ways—fatigue, disconnection, irritability—or it can hit like a wave that makes it hard to function. Either way, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
I support people facing many forms of depression, including:
Frontline Professionals Facing Burnout and Compassion Fatigue
Long shifts. High stakes. Constant exposure to crisis. It’s no surprise that depression can creep in when you’re stretched thin and emotionally exhausted. You may feel detached, numb, or like you’re just going through the motions. You deserve a space to process all you carry and find your way back to yourself.
Older Adults in Caring or Retired Roles
You may be adjusting to retirement, living with chronic health issues, or grieving the loss of mobility, relationships, or identity. Depression in older adults often goes unspoken, but your experience matters, and support is available.
Teens and Young Adults in First Responder Families
The stress doesn’t just stop with the badge. Teens and adolescents growing up in high-responsibility households may face anxiety, pressure, or emotional suppression. I offer a safe, respectful space where young people can talk honestly and feel truly heard.
People Living with Chronic Illness or Injury
Whether you’re managing pain from the job or a long-term health diagnosis, the emotional weight can be just as heavy as the physical symptoms. We’ll name the grief, loss, and frustration and find ways to support your mental and emotional resilience.
Those Navigating Substance Use and Depression
If you’re coping with stress or trauma through alcohol or substances, and also struggling with depression, it’s not a personal failure; it’s a survival response. Together, we can explore how to break the cycle with compassionate, trauma-informed care.
Wherever You Are, There’s a Way Through.
You don’t have to minimize what you’re feeling. Depression counselling is for people who care deeply and sometimes carry too much. You’re not weak for needing help. You’re human.
Let’s take the first step—together.
