Awareness is like the sun, it transforms everything that it touches. - Have you ever found yourself in what seems to be an unsolvable situation? Living a life with no meaning? Struggling with painful long-lasting emotions and behaviours that seem to not make sense? Did you ever come to the conclusion that “just disappearing” would be the only way out? So have I, and so have many people that I helped during my 12 years of clinical practice. You are not alone.
I can work with you towards having the skills to build a life that you not only want to live but thrive. I am a Registered Psychotherapist with experience and training to help clients with suicidal ideation, difficulties in regulating emotions and behaviours, trauma, conflicted relationships and major life transitions.
I believe that finding the right therapist is the most significant ingredient of successful therapy. After all, the therapist can be skilled, but if you do not feel comfortable, validated and understood, therapy may not work or last. I offer a 20min free consultation to get to know you and check if we are a good fit. I am ready when you are.
