Are you struggling with anxiety or a life transition that has impacted your ability to show up as your usual self? Do you feel overwhelmed, like you need more tools to cope? Maybe you've even lost sight of your value or feel like you don't trust yourself. I support adults as they navigate anxiety and life changes while building their self-worth. I will work with you to understand where you are at and together, at your own pace, we will find a path forward. As part of the team at Risework Therapy, our mission is to provide approachable, effective counselling to support you through life's challenges fostering resilience and growth.
My practice is grounded in trust, and compassion. I employ a client-centred approach that honours you as the expert of your life while creating a safe space for you to self-explore. I eclectically draw from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Mindfulness while practicing from an anti-oppressive and trauma informed lens.
Together we will draw on your strengths, learn from your resilience and explore underlying feelings to allow for further self-awareness and improved self-worth. I would feel honoured to be part of your journey to achieve a balanced, and fulfilling life. Do you think we'd be a good fit? Reach out today to book a free 15-minute consult call!
