How to find hope? If you are feeling STUCK, engaging in therapy can help you get MOVING again. Usually, you are someone on the MOVE, adapting to challenges, always ready for the next stage, with confidence and a SMILE! But this time it’s different. You may feel trapped. Pressing ahead and making desired change is hard. You may be struggling with finding yourself, a lack of meaning in your life, difficulty managing relationships, or processing emotions and unresolved trauma.

How do you find hope? You're someone who values close relationships, sets clear goals, and possesses the determination to achieve them. But, there are moments when you may feel disconnected from the person you aspire to be. You've dedicated months, maybe even years, to bridging the gap and rediscovering your best self. You might have a goal in mind, yet you're uncertain about the path ahead. Perhaps you're wrestling with motivation and self-doubt, just trying to hang on by a thread.

I’m a registered social worker and highly skilled psychotherapist for over 15 years of clinical experience working with children, youth, and adults who are mainly survivors of sexual abuse. Sexual trauma can create long lasting emotional and psychological issues ranging from PTSD, relationship problems, trust issues, feelings of shame and guilt, eating disorders, anxiety issues, depression, addiction, self-harming or suicidal thoughts. It takes a lot of courage for someone to be ready for therapy in hopes for a chance to finally move on and not let the past continue to hold you back anymore.
