Are you feeling down or anxious? We all, at some stage in our lives, may face difficult situations and life challenges. It may be related to our relationships, conflicts with family members, loss of a loved one, adaptation, education, or illness. Facing these challenges may lead us to lose hope and focus on daily life tasks and routines. These feelings may lead us to think, nothing will ever change or get better, or there is no bright tomorrow in our future. What’s important is the way we view things and with whom we can share our most personal thoughts, feelings, and fears. I'm here to support you in a non-judgmental way.

I believe that true belonging and healing comes from a place deep within ourselves. This journey varies for everyone but ultimately counselling gives us the navigation to find our way. It also provides us with the tools for support if or when we find ourselves lost and/or stuck.

Therapy can be an opportunity to bring awareness to your unconscious patterns, to discover where you have choice and to connect to your authentic self. Therapy is one way you turn towards yourself, this can be challenging when we’ve spent a life time turning away. We need time, space, and guidance to transform ourselves and forge a new path.

Accepting new clients in my practice -Sometimes it’s easier to say I’m fine – instead of admitting the truth, even to yourself. The truth might be that you are feeling sad or lonely. The truth might be that you are feeling insecure or hopeless. The truth might be that you are disappointed or hurt, anxious or maybe embarrassed. The truth might be that you are feeling ashamed. The truth might be that you are minimizing, avoiding or ignoring core parts of your identity. Maybe you have inadvertently locked yourself into what you think is socially acceptable?
