Therapists in L2G

Life can be challenging to manage at times, and difficult to bear all on one’s own. Reaching out for help is the healthiest approach to working through some of life’s complexities. Therapy offers an objective listening ear, another’s perspective, and coping strategies that will assist you to process difficult relationships, workplace situations, traumatic events, and complex emotions.

You have a power within you to overcome obstacles, and thrive within the life you want for yourself. Starting counselling can be scary, intimidating and overwhelming, and that is okay. At Art of Thriving I help to create space where we can go on a journey together towards building a stronger relationship with yourself, uncovering the power that lives within you, and building towards your goals. If you are looking to decrease your stress, build a healthier and more loving relationship with your body and soul, and embark on a journey designed specifically for you, then you’re in right place.

As a therapist, I believe that providing clients with a nonjudgmental, supportive, and safe environment encourages self-awareness, self-exploration, and self-compassion while working together as a team when exploring their life challenges. As a bicultural woman, mother, and wife, I find managing too many roles and responsibilities challenging, which can lead to mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, and low self-esteem. I can assist you in navigating these challenges while remaining focused and engaged, working towards and achieving your life goals and authentic self.

Feeling stuck in symptoms of depression, anxiety, substance use, trauma or grief? Want to make change but don’t know where to start? When choosing a therapist, the right fit is an important step in taking the lead in your journey towards healing and recovery. I provide a non-judgemental, relaxed space that helps you to acknowledge the impact of mental health and wellness on other aspects of your life including physical health and well-being, relationships, job performance and overall quality of life. I am passionate about working with individuals to build resilience and find balance and peace in your life.

Do you find yourself consumed with stress and worry? Are you feeling trapped by, and out of control of, your thoughts and emotions? Although experiencing emotional pain is a natural part of being human, it can make life feel overwhelming and unmanageable. When life becomes hectic, it is easy to forget how to take care of ourselves, which is one of many areas that therapy can help. Connecting with a therapist who is emotionally attuned to your needs and provides you with individualized care is necessary to address your concerns and achieve your goals.

I maintain an awareness of systemic influences, and of power dynamics in relationships. I will work with you toward your goals. I am committed to being neutral and judgement free. I embrace diversity and human rights.
