You long to understand yourself fully — not just to function better, but to live with more freedom, meaning, and authenticity. You want a therapist who sees both your strengths and your struggles, and who can help you transform challenges into tools for growth.

What are you in the midst of right now? Can you even label it? You know something is off, but you can't quite pinpoint the problem. You talk to family or friends about it, but somehow you still feel alone and manage to push through, because, well, that's what we do. Inside, you feel exhausted, anxious, disconnected, or uncertain why everything seems harder than it once did. What if you had a space to help you understand yourself with greater clarity so you can respond to life with intention instead of simply reacting to it?

Now accepting EMDR trainees for consultation. As an EMDR Consultant in Training (CIT), I can help you complete up to 15 hours of your required consultation hours.
Counselling can be a helpful tool when you are feeling overwhelmed due to mental health concerns, history of trauma, relationship strain, or situational stress. Stress and developmental traumas can activate your nervous system, leaving you in a “fight or flight” state causing feelings of anxiety, low mood, and irritability. I would like to help you learn more about yourself, strategies to manage and lessen negative responses, and find a sense of calm again.

It could feel like no matter how much you do, it’s never quite enough. You push yourself to meet your standards, and when you fall short – even just a little – it feels overwhelming. Your mind might be racing, overanalyzing every detail, second-guessing decisions, or replaying mistakes. Maybe you feel like you have to keep everything under control, and when things don’t go as planned, anxiety takes over. Sometimes, the pressure becomes so much that you shut down, feeling stuck or hopeless. You work so hard, but instead of feeling proud, you feel exhausted, angry, or like you’re failing. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

If you grew up in a collectivist or immigrant family, you may have learned early to be the responsible one, the easy one, or the one who didn’t add more stress. Maybe you were the eldest who carried expectations, the middle who kept the peace or the high-achieving one who made your family proud. Even now, you might notice guilt around disappointing your parents, pressure to live up to what was hoped for you, or tension between your family’s needs and your own voice. You may feel misunderstood, responsible for others’ emotions, self-critical, or never quite enough. These roles and expectations often stay with us long past childhood.
