It's common to feel alone with your problems. Worries, depression, a difficult relationship, or a painful loss may feel heavy and make it hard to cope. You and possibly your partner might feel discouraged by thinking your problems will not get better. Counselling can help. A therapeutic conversation is different than talking with a friend or loved one. It's a recognized way of developing greater self-awareness. You can safely explore your thoughts, feelings, and find ways to build resilience. Resilience helps you handle life more capably and happily. You can begin to feel hopeful as the weight you have been carrying begins to lift.

“The problem is the problem , the person is not problem” as Michael White beautifully states. This statement itself dismantles the western narrative of placing the problem within the person rather than outside of the person i.e., the wider context within which we operate. Humans are wired for connection and trauma intends to disconnect you from the self, and the world; my goal is to work collaboratively to help you reconnect. I have worked with complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety , grief and depression specializing in understanding the impacts of childhood adverse experiences and adult multiple/single traumatic experiences.

If you or your child/teen struggling with life transitions, relationships, anxiety/depression, I am here to support you virtually or in person on the North Shore.

I am committed to inclusivity and welcome clients from all backgrounds. You are unique, and your counselling experience should be too.
