Mood Disorders
Changes in mood can affect how you experience yourself, your relationships, motivation, and everyday life. At times, low mood, loss of interest, irritability, or shifts in energy can make it difficult to feel like yourself or manage the things that once felt more manageable.

Seasonal Mood Changes
Bipolar Disorder
Address intrusive thoughts, unwanted images, and compulsive behaviours that can become difficult to control.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Therapy can help you recognize and better understand patterns in your mood, including changes in energy, motivation, sleep, irritability, and emotional intensity. Together, we can identify triggers, early signs of mood changes, and patterns that may be affecting your daily life.
Treatment may focus on strengthening emotional regulation, developing strategies for periods of low or elevated mood, maintaining routines that support stability, and navigating the impact of mood changes on relationships and everyday functioning.
For bipolar disorder, therapy can also support awareness of changes in mood and energy, coping with the challenges that can accompany different mood states, and building strategies that support greater stability alongside other aspects of care.
How Therapy can Help
How I Help With Mood Concerns
Mood concerns can look different from person to person. I draw from a range of evidence-informed approaches and tailor therapy to your individual needs, goals, and what you’re experiencing.
Here are some ways I can support you:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Explore connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours while developing more balanced and effective ways of responding.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Develop greater flexibility in responding to difficult emotions while reconnecting with your values and what matters to you.
Behavioural Activation
Rebuild routines, activities, and sources of connection that can support mood, motivation, and engagement in everyday life.
Emotion-Focused Approaches
Develop greater awareness of emotions and explore how emotional patterns may influence your mood, relationships, and sense of self.
Interpersonal Approaches
Explore the connection between mood and relationships, communication, role changes, and interpersonal stress.
