There are many reasons why people today are feeling overwhelmed and burned out. Relationships seem hard. Getting ahead is hard. Managing emotions is hard. For those who already struggle with mental health issues, the pandemic has made things so much worse. The most difficult piece seems to be that people often suffer for long periods of time before seeking help. Therapy provides an opportunity to gain clarity about your situation; to learn about your challenges, and to develop strategies to manage emotions and cope with daily living. Your relationship with your therapist provides a caring, safe space in which that can happen.
I am a masters level social worker with a long and diverse career. I have been trained in clinical counselling in my work with adolescents, adults and families. This includes supporting those with complex needs in high risk situations. My practice is anti-oppressive and inclusive. I have specialized skills in geriatric mental health and palliative care.
As a counsellor who has done the work, I can guarantee the following: Your feelings of safety are my priority. I care about how you are doing and want to hear your story. I will listen deeply for understanding. I will provide tools and strategies meaningful to you. I will respect our differences and use awareness of my story to enrich your healing journey.
