You deserve to feel good about yourself. Even if that feels completely impossible right now. Even if a mean little gremlin of an inner critic has been telling you otherwise, maybe for your whole life. So many things get in the way when it comes to how we feel about ourselves and our lives - stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, dysfunctional relationships, toxic work environments, isolation, etc. It can feel like a million boulders piling up on top of you until you can't even see which way is up. I've been there and counselling was one of the things that helped me find the light again. The journey is easier with support.
I believe that you are the expert on you. My job is to help you find new ways to move forward. I work from a very client-centered approach and draw from a variety of theories and interventions to help you achieve your goals. My past experience working in addictions has given me a deep understanding of trauma and the impacts of family patterns of dysfunction.
Counselling is like any other relationship in that you click with some people and not with others. I'd love to hear from you to see if I might be the right fit for you. "And the day came when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." - Anais Nin
