Sometimes life has us feeling stuck in the same difficult patterns: feeling disconnected from our self, from our sense of meaning or purpose, from connection, presence and contentment. We may find ourselves on life’s path, believing that we are making progress, only to find that we have journeyed back into struggle. When we find ourselves here, it may be time to reach out for support. I believe therapy provides the space to go deeper into our current experience; into the underlying issues that are feeding our present challenges. When we experience healing at "our roots", we can make lasting positive changes in our lives.
This work is my passion. I am a Registered Social Worker/Psychotherapist & Registered Clinical Counsellor with extensive training in CBT, DBT, ACT, SD, DBR, & EMDR. I work with clients experiencing a range of challenges related to anxiety, depression, stress, relationships, trauma, grief/loss, addictions, performance, self esteem/confidence, purpose/meaning.
Creating positive change is hard. Starting therapy takes courage, strength & insight. Let's get curious so that, together, we can figure out what’s happening in your life that has you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or alone. Research is the first step. Connecting with a skilled therapist may be next. If this is where you are right now, I'd like to join you.
