Taking this step can allow you to move forward so you can enjoy life to the fullest.

People often come to therapy seeking support for anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma . Perhaps you are struggling with perfectionism, low self-esteem, or feelings of never being good enough.

Therapy can help. Together, we will treat the symptoms you're experiencing now, and also help you understand the "why" of these difficulties to heal the root cause.

The impact of adverse childhood experiences often colours our choices, responses and reactions to the challenges of everyday life. These childhood experiences often manifest themselves in how we experience ourselves, as well as in our relationships with our spouses, partners, family, friends and co-workers. I have over a decade of experience working with individuals, couples and families struggling with trauma , relationship challenges, substance abuse, and domestic violence.

Many people feel lost in the rhythms and uncertainties of life. Feelings of emptiness, loneliness, hurt, confusion and anxiety can overwhelm our ability to live life deeply. Sometimes our usual patterns of living are no longer working. Other times sudden changes, such as world events, a loss, life transition, trauma , or a diagnosis swamp our emotional resources. The surfacing of past events such as abuse, grief, or accidents may stop us in our tracks. These are just some of the situations that can create barriers to living the life we want, and send us searching for deeper meaning, connection and belonging.
