Life isn't always easy. It is full of stressors big and small. Some are predictable. Others are totally unexpected. And some are cumulative in that we don't even know that we are being impacted until that day that we hit the wall and find that we just aren't functioning the way we want. We try everything we know to get through tough times, to change how we are feeling, acting, and thinking, but sometimes we need a little extra help.

As a Christian woman, it’s hard navigating your experiences of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. Your pain and suffering makes you question “If God is good, then why hasn’t he healed me? Is there something wrong with me? Do I not have enough faith?” Maybe past painful experiences of abuse or neglect haunt you and you can’t seem to forgive and move on. Depression and anxiety feel out of your control leaving you scared and hopeless. You pray and pray and pray and it doesn’t stop. Maybe you’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t help as you hoped. You desire and need the peace promised in the bible but it feels so far away.

My primary interest is providing interpersonal and relationship therapy to individuals and couples. In relationships, small feelings and emotions can become bigger and heavier leading to feeling unworthy, inadequate, or unlovable, and can impact mental health/wellness. Our relationships require ongoing work. Love needs to be nourished and nurtured. Suppose you are looking into exploring, developing, and expanding your understanding to deal with issues you are facing in your everyday life/interpersonal relationships. In that case, you have arrived at the right therapeutic space. Change is possible.

Trauma, depression, and other mental health issues can often cause individuals to become "stuck" leading to feelings of resignation or hopelessness. It can often feel like the individual is at the bottom of a well which keeps getting deeper, with the light out feeling further and further out of reach. It can lead individuals to believe that there is no path forwards, or that any path forward is one devoid of meaning or fulfillment.

Men's mental health is a silent crisis. Men are less likely to seek mental health support, and social norms often actively encourage men to disregard signs of distress, yet this year 1 in every 10 Canadian men will experience clinical depression or anxiety, 3 in 10 men over 30 years old will experience sexual dysfunction and 6 in 10 men will have experienced trauma over their lifetime. Effective psychological treatment, delivered by a qualified professional in a secure, confidential and supportive format, can help.
