Can I just say how proud I am of you! Looking for a therapist means you have acknowledged that there is some part of your life that could use a change. Fabulous! I love working with people who, quite frankly, have been through some pretty hard stuff and know that it has had a not-so-great impact on the way they think and act. The one thing I hold true above all else is that a person only starts thriving when they feel safe. Don't have a safe person? I am so here for you!

When you are struggling with your mental health, the anguish can feel unbearable. Perhaps you’ve been lost in depression or have been living with persistent anxiety. Your body might ache, or hold chronic pain. You might have lost a loved one through a death or through relational breakdown, and you are struggling to cope with the grief of such a dramatic change to your life. Maybe you are facing terminal illness and have deep sorrow or questions about what happens next. You might be a trauma survivor looking to rebuild your life. If any of these issues apply to you, I can help you.

Counselling can help you to develop a different relationship with the “chatter” in your head that tells you that you ”aren’t good enough” and that keeps you from daring greatly.  It can help you to look at the stories in your life that counter your shame—and give them a voice.  It can help you to acknowledge and accept loss in a compassionate manner as you would want for a friend.  It can help you to recognize your relationship with your mental health and how you interact with it.  It allows you to sort through your values and support you living in a way that aligns with what you want.  Counselling looks to support these and more.
