Waitlist for new clients
Feeling overwhelmed these days? Many of us are walking around stuck in a state of fight, flight, or freeze and we may not even be aware. The latest research says that the three ways we can find calm are: connection, safety, and being in the present moment. My goal as a therapist is to provide a space that makes these conditions possible. By engaging with our emotions, our mind, and our body in a safe and integrated way, we can move past "the stuckness" and find hope in places that we didn't think were there.

Your path of healing is a unique journey that can feel overwhelming, confusing, and at times hopeless. Whether you are experiencing a major life transition that has turned everything upside down, are grieving the loss of a loved one, in active recovery from a significant trauma, or simply feel a deeper call to access a more authentic expression of who you are, I’m here to help. I’ve supported veterans, first responders, and front line health workers navigate their recovery from trauma, burn out, and moral injury, which has inspired my approach to trust in each person’s capacity for resilience.

In the words of a wise 90's pop singer, "Everybody hurts, sometimes," and so often, we cannot control the difficulties that come our way. When suffering shows up (for example, depressed mood, anxiety, self-esteem or relationship problems), we can develop unhelpful coping strategies, behaviours, or symptoms that further complicate our lives and drain us of joy, energy, and serenity. However, I believe we are all born with an innate ability to heal, grow, and thrive in the face of adversity, and my goal is to help my clients activate this ability.

I am not accepting new clients until after November 15, 2024. I work exclusively with women navigating the challenges embedded in the second half of life. It is a stage of life that deserves our attention. As earlier roles, responsibilities, and identities change, or fall away, some women feel the sense of a "void". It's common for women at this stage to experience confusion, loneliness, fear, or anxiety. Who are we without our earlier conditioned identities? How do we learn to thrive with the changes, honoring and caring for ourselves as we go forward?

From time to time, we all face challenges that can be overwhelming. Sometimes these challenges are situational, but they can also be the result of our lived experience(s) over time. Often they manifest as anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and self harm. These manifestations can lead to further challenges such as job loss, family conflict, isolation, and addiction. Although we may flounder or experience failure, we can develop the strategies needed to live a flourishing life. Integrative therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Positive Psychotherapy, and Solution Focused Therapy teach us how to live well.

When was the last time you felt a sense of wellness and peace? When was the last time you felt inner joy and equanimity? We all make mistakes and we all suffer from other people's mistakes and wrong done to us. However, we don't have to continue to live with the same pain and loss tomorrow.

Life is filled with struggles and challenges and they can seem difficult to overcome or even meet. Counselling helps people recognise the strengths that they already have to not only address life's challenges, but come out the other side stronger.
