I am a Registered Counselling Therapist, licensed through NSCCT and CCPA. I am also a certified Master ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) Practitioner. If you are trying to make changes in your life that are just too much on your own, please give yourself a chance and try at least one session. Even my free intake might help guide you in the direction you need. Perhaps you don't know what you want or need. Sometimes just talking things out in a private setting with a caring and qualified listener can help. I hope you find the courage to take the first step. You have nothing to lose but worries and possibly past trauma.

Accepting NEW Clients: When faced with difficult life experiences, feelings of ‘not being good enough’ or memories of painful past events, it’s not uncommon to get stuck repeating the same old patterns as a way of trying to cope. Perhaps you struggle with anxiety, low mood, over thinking, avoiding feelings or doing too much of something (e.g., electronics, substances) or too little of something (e.g., rest, exercise, connection with loved ones). Ideally, you want to feel more at ease with yourself, making choices and decisions that serve your best, authentic interests vs. those of others.

I believe you possess an inherent ability to discover creative solutions to life's challenges.
