Sometimes life can have us feeling bogged down in the same negative patterns, feeling blocked or disconnected from our own sense of contentment, strength and joy. Often we walk the path of life, thinking we are making progress, only to find we have circled back to the same struggles. When we find ourselves in this place it can be wise to reach out for help. I see therapy as a place to uncover the roots of what is feeding our present concerns and to heal these roots in order to make positive lasting changes.

We put a lot on ourselves, we try to fit ourselves into boxes or stretch ourselves beyond our limits. Be the perfect person, child, student, sibling, friend, employee, partner, spouse, and the list goes on and on. Sound familiar? It's exhausting isn't it? We're not perfect (we can't be!), and not only that but the world is so complex and hard to deal with! Embracing our contradictions is part of what makes us beautifully human. Let me offer you a reprieve, a chance to unburden yourself and find solace with where you are on your journey through this chaotic world we have.

Have you reached a point in your life where you just can't seem to find that happy spark anymore? Do you feel unmotivated and not sure what to do about it? It's not unusual to feel like you are just existing day to day - whether at school, at work, with your partner, or even parenting your children. We all get stuck in a spot of feeling undervalued and overwhelmed and this is more common now than ever before.

Is life feeling overwhelming? Are you struggling to find motivation to do simple tasks, or the idea of doing ‘all the things’ just increases your stress and anxiety? Perhaps you find yourself needing to distract with substances, social media, or by binge watching your favourite TV show, only to find that these activities are not actually making you feel better in the long run. Maybe you are already wanting to explore the underlying causes of what has gotten you off track but don’t know where to start.

As a therapist, one of my most deeply held beliefs is that each of us has the potential to live our best life. We can do this when we learn how to remain calm and collected in stressful moments, identify and detach from unhelpful thought patterns, and develop the courage to change behaviours that keep us stuck in negative cycles. Sometimes we’re able to do this on our own, and other times - especially when we feel routinely overwhelmed, frustrated, anxious, and discouraged - we need someone to walk alongside us to help us figure out how to regain control of our emotions, rekindle our hope, and navigate life’s inevitable difficulties

Have you ever been told you are too sensitive? Are you tired of feeling misunderstood? I understand that vulnerability and facing big emotions, like grief or anxiety, can be scary. I want to provide a caring, respectful and non-judgmental environment for you to explore, process and sit with your emotions so that you can show up in your life and relationships with greater courage and authenticity. I want to empower you to discover that sense of a competent self that can deal with life issues and become fully alive and fully yourself. I lost my father at 16 years old. At the time I learned to push my feelings away.

In life there are many paths to take; some are laid out for us, others we opt out of, and some come at a crossroads. Knowing what to do can become challenging and giving ourselves the space to explore where we are going or how we got there, can be a difficult process to undertake. Whether you find yourself lost, tired, and or uncertain, know that you do not have to come to these places alone. As someone on their own journey I understand the value of making sense and meaning of the stories we tell about ourselves, as these are the stories that will speak to how we view ourselves, others, and or communicate with the people we love.

What is consuming your thoughts and impacting your emotional and physical energy? Is it complicated relationships, caregiver exhaustion, academic stress, work/life balance, or losses? Maybe you are looking to develop relational skills or a sense of self. Perhaps you have reached an impasse. You know where you want to be but are unsure how to get there. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. As a professional and individual, I value the importance of story telling and the need to feel seen and heard in order to make impactful and lasting changes.
