Fulfilment in our life and relationships can be reduced when life gets unbalanced and overwhelming. Often, this shows up as being in autopilot and forgetting to slow down, feel, and unpack what happened; communication can be stuck in a rut and not knowing how to adjust; walls up so high, people aren’t let in; maybe you avoid conflict so much that you tend to people-please and don’t prioritize your own needs. Whatever it might be, you see a need for change. This is where individual or relationship therapy can come in.
Having built my foundation in the not-for-profit domestic violence and homelessness sector in Grande Prairie, I have a main priority with supporting those who have experienced abuse from those close to them. My approach is an inclusive safe space for all of those looking for support, no matter the background, gender, sexual identity, or intersectionality.
Deciding to come into therapy is often a decision that comes after contemplation for a while or a big life event. If you have read this far into my bio, I assume something has resonated with you. Life doesn’t have to be in survival mode or on autopilot, and I hope that together we can find a path forward with hope.
