Therapists in L4A

I believe that when we are feeling connected and heard we can function at a level that promotes growth, expands our sense of self, allows us to feel and act empowered. Many of us are stuck in old coping ways, that while they may have worked for the short term, may now be part of the issues we are experiencing. I work with individuals as well as couples to help identify the challenges, as well as the deeper influences and needs that can be driving them. Together, in a non-judgmental, safe alliance we can work to shift areas that have you feeling stuck.

All of us experience stressors and struggles in our lives. Essentially, it is about how we process these situations that can leave long-lasting impacts. There is no right or wrong way in the processing of these events, rather there are healthy versus unhealthy coping skills. My role is to facilitate your emotional and mental health journey, to aid in building up resiliency so that you are better able to manage and work through those stressors.

As a child or a teenager, you may be finding that you are feeling misunderstood by many adults in your life, and that your problems are often deemed insignificant. Growing up in today’s world is difficult and stressful, whether it be due to peer and family relationships, school stress, future life planning, or the effects of social media, among many others. It seems like anxiety and depression are a part of everyday language in the media and your peer group, and it has left you wondering if this pain you're feeling is just an inevitable aspect of growing up.

Are you feeling stuck? Emotionally overwhelmed? Or unsure what steps to take next in your journey towards healing? Reaching out and seeking support may seem “simple” but is often the most courageous thing we can do. Therapy can provide the space for you to share your story – and be seen, heard, known, and cared for by another. This process often lays the foundation for discovering who you are and overcoming life’s challenges.

Are you stuck in a cycle of emotional or chronic pain leading to low energy, depressed mood or social withdrawal? Everyone experiences challenges like this at some point in life but when cycles of emotional or physical pain, anxiety or depression become too great they can be all-consuming and difficult to manage alone. Finding the right support to break the cycle you are stuck in will allow you to experience more joy and meaning in your life.

Are you feeling stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed? Do you sometimes find it hard to keep your energy or motivation levels up? I can help! Our world has become so full of stress that we often forget there's another way to live. My approach involves building new strategies that help combat any issues you're experiencing. Alongside this, I help you discover the true roots of the difficulties you're experiencing so that we can create more lasting, long-term change.

Centre Bethany Centre is a place that provides counselling services and spiritual direction that will contribute to the physical, spiritual, emotional and psychological well-being of individuals and families. Our approach is centred around healing in an African cultural context, that is to say, healing is the remedy that is required when something goes wrong with the functioning of the mind, body, psyche, environment and spirit. This malfunction often results in one feeling anxious; abandoned; physically, psychologically and spiritually traumatized; a sense of loss of self.

If you are just tired of giving and caring for everyone around you except for yourself, you’ve come to the right place. I come from a teaching background where students and duties came first. I am also a child of immigrant parents and a military spouse, which increased stress due to frequent relocations and living far away from family and friends. A common block to getting much-needed help and support is the belief that self-care is selfish. The thing is, by slowing down and taking care of your own emotional and mental needs, you will be able to offer so much more to the world.

My goal is to help people realize their true potential by giving them tools to overcome adversity, life challenges and self-imposed punishment. Clients are encouraged to develop an accurate self-image, allowing them to take responsibility for their decisions, actions and reactions.

Hello, thank you for visiting my profile! Welcome! I’m here to journey with you and support you in overcoming the challenges of life. It is important to me that every client I see is cared for, understood, accepted as they are, and supported without judgment. In life, we encounter various forms of suffering and internal struggles that are unique to the cultural and family contexts that we have grown in. Suffering is an inevitable part of life, but I believe that becoming aware of your values, what you believe, who you are, and what you want from life can bring you closer to finding your inner strength to overcome your suffering.

What kind of person do you want to be? What do you hope to build toward or overcome? What gets in the way? We all face challenges that can cause us to become stuck. I believe that with meaningful support you can move forward in building a life filled with hope and purpose.

Relationships fulfill and sustain us. Sometimes we are challenged to grow and change so that we may strengthen and deepen these relationships. At these moments we may feel afraid, confused or at a loss for what to do. Therapy is about asking for guidance as we begin to explore and accept change. I work with the belief that we all share a common emotional experience despite the differences in the way we choose to express ourselves. As every issue is unique, I offer my clients the opportunity to tell their story in their own way.

What kind of person do you want to be? What do you hope to build towards or overcome? What gets in the way, causing you to feel stuck? Whether you or someone you care about is on a grief journey, sorting through past or present challenges (including trauma), dealing with a tough inner critic or facing relational conflict... hope remains! Whether young, old, or somewhere in between, I believe that with meaningful support everyone has the potential to move towards greater joy, hope, purpose, and connection.

I aim to support you by creating a calm and warm space for you to freely express yourself and help you come to realize that your sensitivity is not a weakness but rather your greatest superpower!
