Do you often feel misunderstood, or wish that you were more able to show up to others with more ease and confidence? Do you have good intentions, but in the moment get stuck in an old pattern of reaction or avoidance? Perhaps your life is at a crossroads that is requiring action and you need an honest, open and genuine witness to help guide you through this transition. Or, maybe you have been repeating the same behaviours and relational patterns for years, and are tired of getting the same results. During these moments, it is normal to feel a bit lost – even paralyzed! It's really hard to be on your own with all of this overwhelm.

Through both my work as a therapist and my own life, I've often found myself in awe the innate human capacity to heal. And the more I do this work, the more in awe I am at how so much of healing begins with no longer being alone in hard things. In my therapeutic work I've witnessed the incredible resilience and transformation that can emerge when a safe space is held for one's story and experience. I continue to stand in awe of that resilience.

Mental health problems are fairly common among Canadians, with estimates that 20% of Canadians experience a mental health issue each year. Yet, people often suffer through these issues on their own. Just because you're going through a difficult time now doesn't mean it will always be this way. Speaking with a psychologist can help you move past these issues to get you back on track.
