When life gets overwhelming it can really bring you down or make you feel anxious. You may be fearful that life won’t ever get better, you won’t find another job, you will be alone forever, or you will fail your first year of university because of anxiety. Maybe you’ve encountered a loss and you wonder if life will ever feel normal again. Perhaps you are newcomer to Canada and you need support while get used to new culture, find a job and a place to live.
Imagine waking with a sense of peace about the future. Even though things are different or have not gone as you once planned, you are finding new ways to find deeper meaning in each day. You rely on your personal values to make decisions, and you are growing in confidence as you take brave steps forward. You no longer just survive, you begin to thrive.
I help newcomers to Canada build the life they want and support students in their studies or as they navigate into careers and mature workers trying to regain their self-confidence or reinvent themselves. I support anyone facing difficult life transitions of grief & loss or separation & divorce. I also help clients living with OCD manage their symptoms.
