You've made a decision to seek support, which in itself can be a stressful process in finding the right person to help with what's happening right now. Already, you've taken that first step towards a path ahead for changing something that maybe doesn't feel quite right. If you're experiencing challenges in managing anxiety, depression, navigating a traumatic experience, or looking for help with your specific grief experience from the death of someone, your pet, a job, a relationship, or expectations, let's take the time and make space to slow things down, and begin a compassionate conversation for capturing your vibrant life again.
Using a holistic, and eclectic mix of therapeutic approaches drawing on elements of CBT, EMDR, Mindfulness, Narrative, and Solution-Focused therapies, I provide a person-centred and collaborative therapeutic space. I have received specialized training in EMDR, Narrative therapy, death and dying, grief, pet loss, and suicide bereavement.
Wherever you are on your journey, let's begin that conversation together, and navigate the challenges that have brought you here. I look forward to meeting with you.
