My clients are incredible people who have gone through a major life transition (trauma, loss, career change, breakup, migration, health diagnosis and/or narcissistic abuse) and value professional support to navigate it all. There may be concerns around career/family and how to show up for life while feeling anxious, burnt out or struggling to keep it together. Clients see me for self-esteem, perfectionism, sleep issues, chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, sports performance, cultural oppression, workplace alienation and complex childhood trauma. Im a member of both ACCT and ACTA. I see BIPOC and other clients in BC and Alberta.
Just speaking to someone who understands is amazing and gives relief. The therapeutic alliance is the key to the work we do together. As a person centred therapist, therapeutic interventions such as trauma informed, internal family systems, hypnotherapy, cognitive behavior therapy and mindfulness/prayer based methods may be integrated in our conversations.
Perhaps you have been wondering if anyone can help You. When day after day you live with a pain you don't share, life becomes a prison. Sometimes taking the risk to talk about it, a small change in perspective adds up to a big change in possibilities. Bit by bit, life starts to make sense and a new, stronger you emerges, not so alone anymore.
