We all know how difficult it can be to start something new. Whether it’s your first time in therapy or not, it’s quite normal to feel a range of different emotions. With this said, sometimes leaning into the process and stepping out of your comfort zone can bring a sense of relief and broaden your perspective on what’s possible. At times, we can feel as if we are walking life’s path alone, but that doesn’t mean we have to. Therapy provides that additional support and guidance to uncover barriers, facilitate options, and choose a value driven direction in life.

We all have times in our lives when we feel stuck or like something just isn't going right - life isn't playing out the way we hoped. Sometimes we can muddle our way through this on our own, and at other points it can be helpful to reach out and walk this part of your path with support. I'm a Clinical Psychologist with 8 years experience working with children, youth, and adults to help them better understand their experience and move towards living a valued and meaningful life, negotiating barriers to this as we go.
