Life seems to ask a lot from us humans. Once we’ve reached adulthood, responsibilities mount and our free time dwindles. When stressors pile up, we could all use a trusted therapist to help us prioritize ourselves again. It is about making time for ourselves, our thoughts, our feelings, and our sense of purpose. When we gain self awareness and self acceptance, we can take better care of ourselves and our relationships. Therapy is more than “just” talking - it’s uncovering, discovering, and decluttering (unhelpful beliefs or stuff) so we can get on with our lives with greater confidence and trust in ourselves.
Managing life does not have to be so hard once we decide to invest in ourselves and our whole selves. I’m here to listen, provide direction and guidance when you wish it. You can also learn skills to help manage your emotions, thoughts, and behaviours, improve communication, build healthy routines and break patterns of behaviour that no longer serve you.
I have a deep understanding of each of the issues I work with from professional and lived experience. Often these issues are complex and have lots of overlap but I always see beyond the “problem” and focus on the strengths and goals. I have a sense of humour and an eclectic, down to earth style. If we’re a good fit, we can work through a lot together.
