This chaos might manifest in stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship issues, or it may show up as traumatic and painful experiences preventing you from achieving your desires and goals. It is absolutely possible to find your way to happiness and inner peace and it’s helpful to have a trained professional with lived experience guide and support you through that journey.

Together, let's empower you to embrace your worth, manage your self-criticism, navigate your worry and foster relationships that nourish your soul.
Do you struggle with worrying that you are inadequate? Perhaps you have been engaging in people-pleasing behaviours for as long as you can remember. Maybe your relationships have felt one-sided, and unfulfilling as a result since you often put your needs on the back-burner due to the fear of being criticized for being “too sensitive.” Or maybe this fear already came true, haunts you to this day, and now you do everything to avoid it. I wonder if you are tired of constantly comparing yourself to others highlight reels, and worrying that you are failing in some aspect of your life. If this sounds like you, know that you are not alone.

Feelings of despair, anxiety, and being stuck are common.
Perhaps you're here because you're interested in beginning a new conversation with yourself. There may be questions, and you may not know what to ask. What do you need and value? What do you desire most? Are you making choices in line with the life you want to be living? Maybe you have a diagnosis you want to learn more about and learn how to live with? Participating in therapy is not about getting advice, rather, helping you find your own answers by connecting to yourself, exploring who you are, and tapping into your potential.

Maybe you've tried this before. You've been to therapy and you've talked about your issues but you don't really feel like you've healed your issues. Or maybe you've gotten to the point in therapy where you feel stuck. I get it. The anxiety and self doubt. Drinking/eating/scrolling too much. Constantly running to attain what we think we're supposed to chase after. Wondering why some of our reactions and behaviours happen. Hating some aspects of ourselves and really not showing up in a way that we know we can. And seeking answers to all of this and just not finding it in therapy.

We often look for external solutions when we are trying to resolve or fix a problem. We may be struggling with issues at work or school, or perhaps we’re feeling stuck in a life that no longer brings us joy. The loss of a loved one or a marriage or relationship breakdown leaves us feeling depleted and abandoned. Overwhelmed anxious feelings can easily take over when faced with any of these situations.

I provide a safe place for clients to share their most vulnerable thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I help you figure out what is keeping you stuck and work with you toward the goals that you believe will make your life more fulfilling. I do this by helping you challenge thoughts and beliefs that leave you feeling sad or anxious, helping you understand and share your emotions with others, and by aiding you in changing behaviours you no longer find useful. I use a combination of Emotionally Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
