Therapists in T3C

If you're struggling with mental health, relationship, or addiction challenges, it can feel like your life is out of control and falling apart. It's not uncommon to feel overwhelmed, scared, hopeless, helpless and alone. Or to feel numb. We all experience occasional difficulties in response to life’s challenges, but there are times when we feel particularly stuck or discouraged and we need some extra support. It can be difficult to share your most private experiences with someone new, especially if those experiences have caused you shame, and we have a deep respect for those who are willing to pursue counselling.

I believe therapy is built on trust, safety, and mutual respect, and so I bring my real self to the therapeutic relationship in order to meet and discover the ‘self’ you want to become. Together we will explore the physical, emotional, and environmental factors creating friction in your life, and work towards sustainable and meaningful change. This may include learning new skills, processing emotions, and finding meaning in your past and present experiences. Life is full of challenges, and I will accompany you in learning to build resilience in the face of those challenges, without becoming overwhelmed

Do you aspire to feel more contentment or support to reach your goals? If you do and want to work with a warm, non-judgmental, experienced therapist, who gets results, then reach out to me. Clients over the years report that they quickly feel at ease with me, which allows them to feel safe, accepted, and open. To assist the clients, I identify negative thought patterns and issues that may have been impeding their growth & progress & then create an achievable plan. Over the past 20 years, I have worked with children, teens & adults from all backgrounds within the educational and private sectors.

Are you ready to make lasting change within your life? I believe that everyone is deserving of and able to live the best possible life that they can imagine. If you are searching for greater happiness and control within your life, if you are looking to take steps to live your best possible life, please start a conversation with me. I am committed to working with you creatively and compassionately, to understand you, your concerns, and your goals. I can help you to achieve your most vivid dreams and goals for yourself.

It is hard to reach out for support or to even consider reaching out when you are struggling. Perhaps you are experiencing a sense of grief, loss, or burnout leaving you feeling stuck and unsure about what the future holds? Perhaps you are feeling adrift and need someone to talk to as you figure out what to do next? Sometimes we find our past experiences interfere with the present and all of us face challenges that require extra support. Counselling can help you gain a better understanding of yourself, your relationships, and the changes you wish to implement to achieve further growth.
