Is anxiety getting in the way of living? Do you often wonder if your personal life should be better? Are you living in your past - unable to move forward? Do you find yourself disconnected from yourself or your partner? Do you feel safe in your family? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and unsure about how they are supposed to manage different and all demanding aspects of their day-to-day life including, their time, careers, and their families. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself might look like an easy solution at first, but long term it can create mental and physical challenges.

No concern or thought is too small or large to be explored in therapy. I understand that life can bring us suffering, pain, loss, and other experiences that we oftentimes struggle to manage. My goal is to provide a safe space to explore & process your thoughts, emotions, & life situations, no matter how big or small. I understand that each individual's story is unique, & I allow for discovery to occur in a fully confidential, non-judgemental space.

One of the many things I can appreciate about our society is how people come from different walks of life - we all have a story. These stories, or worldviews, are what shape our personalities and how we perceive and overcome the various obstacles that life may throw at us. I also understand how beginning therapy can be daunting, so I provide a validating and non-judgemental environment with the goal of making clients as comfortable as possible. Helping clients explore their emotions and navigate any problems they may have, together, has always been a passion of mine.

The gap between the life you want and the life you have, between the person you are and the one you want to be, that is disappointment. Manging to find a balance betwen the external demands of the world (employment, finances, school, parenting, relationships, housing, economy, etc) and the internal demands of ourselves (mind, body, spirit, aspirations, goals, purpose, peace, safety) is some serious work. Each life stage has its own specific rewards & challenges, but lately it seems we are all having to do MORE with LESS. That is stress. Many are overwhelmed & exhausted regardless of life stage.

Life can be filled with uncertainty and upheaval. Living the life you want may feel challenging and unattainable. When conflicting emotions arise, our relationships falter. We may no longer know who we are or what we want. No matter how alone you may feel, there is a way through the suffering. As a registered psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience, I believe the answers lie within us. With guidance and support, gradually you can learn how to find and listen to your inner voice to find solutions to these struggles and strengthen your relationship with self and others.
