Prolonged Exposure Therapy in L5A

Hello and welcome. I am interested in listening to your story and figuring out together how you can address your difficulties. Perhaps you are experiencing painful emotions and have difficulties figuring them out; perhaps you have a lot on your plate and are overwhelmed by the many demands placed on you; perhaps you find yourself dissatisfied with or worried by relationships in your life; or, maybe you or your loved ones are going through a health crisis and need new skills to manage situations you have never encountered before.

Things happen. It is easy to get overwhelmed. Panic attacks, flashbacks, sadness and feelings of uncomfortable tension might become a part of everyday existence. Our attempts at coping help at first, then end up by compounding the pain. Worry, procrastination, excessive defensiveness, addictions or even perfectionism, are all examples of initially helpful coping strategies that backfire over time. We might worry about our problems daily, and yet remain unable to face them. Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) can help make sense of things.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, unresolved trauma or relationship issues with your partner, parent or yourself? Perhaps you hard on yoursef, critical or "empty". I am passionate about assisting you in restoring the sense of personal power, facilitate growth and/or healing important relationships. Together we will explore the sources of your present or ongoing struggle and co-create a more effective blueprint on how to regain control over your difficulty. The better we understand our inner emotional life, the easier it is to change destructive and self-sabotaging behaviour patterns and repetitions.
