I believe the most important relationship we’ll ever have is with ourselves. When we experience trauma, how we view our world, self & others, changes. Even after the trauma has passed, our minds make us believe we are still in danger which makes it difficult to feel calm. Trauma causes intrusive thoughts, cognitive distortions, flashbacks & nightmares, which can lead to depression, anxiety, avoidance & maladaptive coping strategies including substance misuse. Feeling overwhelmed & managing intense emotions can be difficult. If this sounds like you, I am interested in working with you to heal past wounds & regain a sense of control.

I believe we are at our best when we have meaningful relationships, enjoyable pursuits, and peace of mind. While I think the people we surround ourselves with can have a significant influence over our well-being, I do not believe all of our emotional needs can be met by any one person. I also think that sometimes our struggles can feel too heavy to share with friends, or too personal to open up about at all.

Do you feel overwhelmed? Anxious? Not quite yourself? Having Emotional Destress? Relationship issues? Are your symptoms affecting your quality of life? If so therapy can help you gain new insight into your life. I am convinced that a deep sense of meaning and purpose in life, together with a sense of belonging is a foundational importance to overall well-being, and to achieving a sense of acceptance, integration and wholeness. I strongly believe clients are the expert of themselves and as such I will help my clients access their inner wisdom.

Life is a journey filled with twists and turns, highs and lows and unexpected detours. It's natural to feel overwhelmed, stressed or uncertain at times. I see people trying so hard to change things, and feeling so stuck, like they are on a merry-go-round and don't know how to get off. Maybe they're wanting more self-confidence, to be able to communicate easier or to not feel so overwhelmed and stressed out all the time. More often than not I see people struggling to try to figure it out on their own. Does any of that sound like you? I'm here to tell you, it's ok to ask for help.
