Clients seeking my help have difficulty coping, and feel emotionally overloaded; but they are also ready for a change.

Avoiding unpleasant emotions can cause harm and inappropriate reactive behaviors. Emotional and psychological support for issues involving depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, relationship issues, self-improvement, are some of the stressors I work with. Through counselling we can focus on your needs and set goals that will ultimately give you tools to cope with life on life's terms.

Maybe they have a stomach ache because of anxiety, or they got into another fight. Maybe they save it all for home where they melt down and just can't cope. You're exhausted and it’s time for a change.
