If you are feeling scared, anxious, depressed, angry, burned out or hopeless, then this is the right first step on the path of healing. Often we have tried to manage things alone, finding ways to cope but it isn't making a dent in our day to day lives. Past trauma, challenging relationships and unresolved issues can eat away at us, robbing us of a peaceful and fulfilling life. You may want to find relief from your emotional pain and the accompanying stress so you can feel better, have deeper clarity and be able to move forward in life.

Have you been considering attending counselling? Maybe you have been feeling stressed or overworked, experiencing relational problems, or just cannot seem to find the time or motivation to get what you need to get done in a day? This can be frustrating and tiresome for a person; however, these problems are not as uncommon as one might think. Many people will try different approaches to tackle these problems on their own and see very little to no progress. This can be disheartening and lead one to feeling stuck in their current situation.

When we are being heard, listened to and understood it becomes easier to reconnect with what is important. Often our next steps become clearer. We can see what keeps us stuck, untangle the values that guide our choices and move towards healing and growth. I am offering virtual individual psychotherapy to adults across Ontario. My approach is compassionate, client-centered, strength-based and resilience oriented.

Throughout life there are unpleasant experiences you have survived that directly impact the way you view yourself, others, and the world. Maybe you’re actively experiencing these events or are experiencing the effects of them years later. At times, the self you previously knew feels lost as unpleasant emotions such as anxiety, fear, and sadness increase in intensity and the things you used to enjoy are no longer providing you with a break. Continuing to avoid the uncomfortable is exhausting and repeats the cycle you are trying your best to stop.

I work with adults and youth who experience low mood, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, relationship conflict, loss, and grief. Knowing how challenging life can be, it is important that we have a safe community and people to assist us when sometimes we cannot manage our experiences alone. Thus, together within therapy, we will work as a team to explore present patterns and behaviours that result in feelings we wish to change and build a strong and compassionate belief of self, exploring new strategies and techniques along the way.

Where you've been doesn’t have to be where you end up. As individuals, we can carry the weight of our past experiences with us wherever we go. Whether it’s the relationships we had in childhood with our families, the connections we have with our culture and community, or the painful moments that leave scars, we are often shaped by what we go through. When things have been hard, especially for a long time, it’s easy to feel stuck and to imagine that your life will always be this way.
