Like many people, I grew up in an environment where we didn't talk about our struggles and emotions. From an early age, I learned to keep the difficult things inside and deal with my emotions on my own. In 1999, I became a crisis phone counsellor and realized that I wasn't the only one who had had this kind of experience. I realized that a lot of people felt the way I did and kept their emotions inside. For the first time, I learned how healing it could be to share struggles with supportive people.
Today I help clients overcome barriers such as anxiety, panic, depression, grief, and anger. I also work with individuals and couples who are having issues in their relationships; individuals who have experienced trauma; women who are experiencing postpartum depression; and people struggling with acute or chronic illness.
I have a special interest in helping clients discover self-compassion. All of us are connected by our imperfection and our suffering, yet we punish ourselves for experiencing those very things. Self-compassion removes that punishment, enabling true growth to occur.
