Personal relationships, anxiety/fear/depression and trauma are my main areas of interest. Each of these can negatively influence and impede us from making positive changes in our lives. It is my belief that our well being is founded, first and foremost, on empathetic, supportive, relationships. Therefore, our work together, whether one to one or with your partner or another family member, will in part, entail an exploration of patterns of behaviour, coping mechanisms and major life events that help answer the questions 'how did I get here?' and 'why do I feel so bad?'

Are you repeatedly drawn into relationships with people who are cold to you? Do you feel that even people closet to you do not care or understand enough about you? Do you feel that you are at your core somehow defective, that no one who truly knows you could possibly love and accept you? Do you put the needs of others above your own, so your needs never get met and so you do not even know what your real needs are? Do you find that, regardless of how much social approval you receive you still feel unhappy, unfulfilled, or undeserving?Have you learned that manipulation and guilt are effective strategies for getting what you want?

Sometimes life can have us feeling stuck in the same difficult patterns, feeling disconnected from our self & our sense of meaning, connection, presence and contentment. We may find ourselves on life’s path, believing that we are making progress, only to find that we have journeyed back to the same struggles. When we find ourselves here, it may be time to reach out for support. I believe that therapy gives us the space to delve below our current experience, into the root causes that are feeding our present challenges. When we experience healing at the roots, we can make lasting positive changes in our lives.

Your life feels like it is falling apart and you are being pulled in so many different directions. Your employer needs you; your family needs you, and so do your friends. You feel overwhelmed, defeated, anxious, and depressed. You are trying to hold it all together but it is catching up to you and you can’t do it anymore. You give so much to everyone else and there is nothing left of you. You have lost yourself and you just can’t cope anymore.

Do you feel stuck in your relationship? Perhaps you can't seem to get through to your partner, and you're starting to think the situation is hopeless. Perhaps your partner is going through a tough time and you are starting to feel overwhelmed yourself. Maybe you and your partner are thinking of taking the next step in your relationship journey but you need a stronger foundation before you are ready and willing to move forward. You know that you can experience more joy and satisfaction in your relationship but don't know what steps will get you there and you need help to make a breakthrough.

Making sense of your behaviours and experiences can help you become a better version of yourself. Life and the relationships we form have a way of launching feelings and experiences our way that we're not always prepared to handle. Guilt that haunts our past, buried beliefs that enhance anxieties or despair that paralyzes us from moving forward can create negative behaviours, feelings, and thoughts. The way you live and approach your life can be shifted into a more positive direction to allow you to increase your self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-awareness. Be a better version of yourself.
