You may be here because it's a struggle to function in your daily life right now. You feel easily overwhelmed or have intrusive thoughts. It’s difficult to focus, be productive or sleep through the night. In therapy, we'll address your emotional, cognitive and behavioural challenges and how they impact your ability to engage in meaningful daily activities and relationships. You’ll learn to use coping skills, emotional acceptance, behavioural strategies and mindfulness. My clients experience a gradual lifting of their symptoms and regain their sense of self after starting therapy.
