Anxiety & Depression Therapy
Therapy for anxiety and depression that affect daily functioning and decision-making.
Online anxiety and depression therapy for adults in Vancouver and across British Columbia.
Sometimes you feel anxious. Other times you feel numb. Either way, the exhaustion is constant.
It can feel like there is no way out of the cycle you are caught in. Each day feels harder than the last, and the things that once brought interest or enjoyment no longer do. You may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the life you want to live. Social interactions can feel draining, and keeping up appearances takes more energy than you have. Even small tasks can start to feel heavy.

My Approach
Anxiety and depression show up differently for everyone. Some people feel constantly on edge. Others shut down. Many move between both states. What they share is the experience that life has become harder to manage, even when things appear fine from the outside.
My approach is integrative and practical. I pay attention to how your emotional, physical, and social worlds interact, because anxiety and depression rarely exist in isolation. Many clients are balancing work demands, relationships, family responsibilities, and the pressure to keep functioning.
Therapy gives you space to understand what is driving your symptoms and to respond with more intention rather than reacting on autopilot.
We set goals that are realistic for your current capacity. Together we focus on managing anxious thought patterns, supporting nervous system regulation, and navigating low-energy periods with more stability. The aim is not to eliminate difficult emotions. It is to make daily life feel more manageable.
I also help you reconnect with the strengths that have carried you through difficult periods before. When anxiety and depression take hold, it becomes easy to lose sight of your own capabilities. Using evidence-based strategies, we work to shift unhelpful patterns and develop approaches that help you feel more grounded and more like yourself.
My goal is to help you understand your internal experience, support you with the day-to-day strategies, and create a path forward that feels sustainable.
