Individuals choose to seek out therapeutic support for many reasons. Within therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to achieve each person's individually set goals. Therapy can help relieve anxiety that stops you from enjoying everyday activities, assist you in overcoming past challenges and traumas, and introduce strategies so you can relate better to individuals in the present. I provide a safe, non-judgemental, and caring environment in which you can explore the impact of your thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and relationships on your daily life and start to change these in order to achieve balance and personal strength.

Do you feel ...overwhelmed? ...numb? ...stressed? ...anxious? ...depressed? ...angry? ...hopeless? ...ashamed? ...lost? ...haunted by the past? ...alone? At times we can become stuck in these painful emotions, and we desperately wish to avoid them. We temporarily block them or distract ourselves only for them to return with a vengeance. Instead, when we turn towards them to hear and heal what is underneath, the painful emotions can be truly transformed. In this way, we can use emotions as a guide and overcome the obstacles in reaching our full potential.
