Accepting new clients for online therapy. Perhaps you feel anxious about a difficult change, disappointed with how your life has turned out, or deeply unsupported and unseen by those around you. This can manifest in ways that cause us to feel lost, stressed, numb, hurt, burnt-out, flooded with guilt and self-doubt, wishing we could show up differently for others and ourselves. I understand the significance of wanting to break free from these struggles. If you are tired of figuring this out on your own, I'd be honoured to facilitate a supportive space to attune to your experiences and find a way through these challenges.

You are never meant to do this life alone. As humans, our aloneness is undone when another person comes alongside us. Perhaps you are desiring healing of past wounds so that you can build deeper and more secure relationships with yourself and others. Perhaps you are at the crossroads and making a life altering decision and are needing support as you transition. Maybe you are experiencing burnout. Or you may be struggling with how to go on living in the wake of losses. Whatever challenge you are facing today, I want you to know that there is hope for change. I count it an honour to walk alongside you and meet you where you are at.

Emotional pain is inevitable in life. Feelings of stress, inadequacy, disappointment, anxiety, anger, and grief are universal and part of the shared human experience. Every individual experience these feelings through different situations and all of us interpret these experiences through varied perspectives because of our culture, personal history and personality differences. To move on, sometimes we learn to mask our difficult emotions by suffering in silence or behaving as though everything is okay. However, when we avoid facing our pain, they may fester within us and result in more shame and turmoil that affects our daily lives.
