Therapists in N1G

Life these days can be overwhelming. It's okay to ask for help. We do it all the time don't we? When moving a heavy table or starting a new project, we ask those around us to lend a hand. Life can be heavy sometimes and everyone deserves help. Whether you'd like to explore relationships, school, work, or want to process a traumatic event, I'm here to listen. If there's something you've been navigating throughout your life that you've never been able to weather, we can assemble a cradle full of tools that are individually tailored to your needs. I believe everyone has strengths, and we will pull from yours during therapy.

Relationships often attract us with their promise of heaven, but can quickly end up feeling like hell. Emotional distance, loneliness, escalating fights, affairs, and addictions may leave you wondering what happened to the bright future you once envisioned with your partner. If this sounds like your marriage or relationship, know that you can come back from the brink. Relationship troubles can be confusing and stressful, but couples counselling can help you and your partner heal from past emotional injuries, rebuild a sense of closeness, and kick start communication on gridlocked issues.

Are you feeling stuck and not sure what to do about it? Together, we can work on creating the change you want to make in your life. This could look like learning to better manage your emotions and working to better manage unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. I want to help empower your relationship with yourself and help you become the most authentic version of you. I focus on being down-to-earth and approachable while working on goals collaboratively with clients. Developing a trusting relationship where you feel comfortable and open is crucial to me.

Our work will begin with oh so many questions, followed by setting goals and taking steps towards appropriate change. You will bring your specialty as the best expert on yourself - your insight into your many strengths and various challenges; and I will bring my specialized knowledge, skills, and expertise.

I have experience working with clients from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds, and I feel comfortable in offering faith-based counselling when requested.

Are you struggling to manage your emotions of sadness, anxiety, anger, overthinking and panic? Do you experience a sense of helplessness in understanding your own behavioral reactions? Sometimes, lack of control in life can create a sense of despair. The desire of being heard, understood, seen, heal and recover can contribute in our optimal functioning and well-being. Healing can help individuals have better relationship with themselves, their career, their environment and other people around them. Seeking therapy can be challenging however, not impossible. With trust and hope, you can reach the goals of your mental wellness.

Vulnerability is the first step to healing. When we are able to be vulnerable with ourselves, we are able to open up,. I want your messy self to show up and feel safe in your own space alongside me.
