I believe that living a healthy balanced life where all aspects like, life transitions and challenges are met with possibility.
Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, or a loss of a sense of self, that affects your ability to positively regard who you are and your purpose? Do you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, alone or stressed by life's responsibilities, like responding to emails, transitions either from work to home or school? Do you wonder if your sense of self could be better fostered through your ability to deal with these challenges? Now more than ever, all people, are feeling a heightened sense of anxiousness, fatigue and pressure to make ends meet while maintaining healthy relationships and meeting society's expectations.

Sometimes, some coaching about establishing better habits (or stopping problematic ones) is tremendously helpful.
Some of us feel challenged by anxiety, depression, or anger. Some by the relationships in our lives with partners, family, or in the workplace. Parenting never fails to challenge our best intentions, or we can also find ourselves repeating behaviours and ways of thinking that no longer work for us. My clients are typically active partners in change – sometimes to change those habitual behaviours or ways of thinking, sometimes to interact more effectively, sometimes to nourish personal growth, and sometimes just to clarify and explore.

When we are experiencing a stressful life event, a challenging medical diagnosis or chronic condition, or just facing a difficult period of our life, it is not uncommon that we may feel overwhelmed with new changes, unsettled thoughts and emotions, and need someone to talk to. Both individuals and caregivers may feel stressed and uncertain about the future. As we encounter life's difficulties, we all may need help coping at some point in our life. I am committed to helping my clients ease their distress, and find a healthy sense of well-being and more helpful and bonding connections in their relationships.

In order to live a flourishing life, it is important to recognize our strengths and identify our assets.
From time to time, we all face challenges that can be overwhelming. Sometimes these challenges are situational, but they can also be the result of our lived experience(s) over time. Often they manifest as anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and self harm. These manifestations can lead to further challenges such as job loss, family conflict, isolation, and addiction. Although we may flounder or experience failure, we can develop the strategies needed to live a flourishing life. Integrative therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Positive Psychotherapy, and Solution Focused Therapy teach us how to live well.

In my years of practice, my focus has been centred around individuals from different walks of life (i.e race, religion, gender, sexual orientation etc). Particularly, ones who have trauma, body image issues, low self esteem, fibromyalgia, phobias and/or are anxious, depressed, stressed, destructive, angry, lonely, abused and in or have been in the child welfare system. In regards to my approach, I am genuine and compassionate, but remain equally honest and direct. Rather than bombarding clients with endless questions, I aim to engage them through meaningful methods and effective interventions.

First, is understanding how OCD works and how it tries to keep a grip in your life.
I believe in the importance of understanding, trust, connection & belonging in the therapeutic relationship as the place where change can begin. Are you experiencing OCD and Anxiety and just feeling stuck. Are you feeling tired and exhausted of doubt controlling your life? Feeling as if your trapped in the cycle of intrusive thoughts and compulsions that when you finally have some relief, OCD is right back it again. Have you ever wished you had a remote control or tools where you could just turn down the noise. You don't have to face OCD alone, remember OCD wants you for itself, and its time to start to breaking OCD rules.

On the outside, you are a professional who has everything! Yet, on the inside, you struggle with anxiety, impostor syndrome, overthinking, feeling stuck and defective. You even feel guilty and "ungrateful" for being dissatisfied with your life, and for not spending enough quality time with your loved ones. In fact, you feel lonely at times. You can tell that your work life is negatively impacted by your difficulties; your biggest fear is that one day, you will lose everything you worked so hard for, and that you will never achieve the work and personal lives, as well as the romantic relationship, you yearn for.
