Do you feel bogged down by intense anxiety or stress? Do you feel hopeless or depressed about your life? Are the relationships in your life toxic or filled with tension? Does addiction have a tight grip on your life? Do you feel chained to the past and due to trauma? If you relate to any of those questions and would like help navigating difficult emotions, thoughts, behaviours, relationships, or trauma, come talk to me. I have been trained by some of the leading experts in the field of psychotherapy such as Dr Gabor Mate and Dr Patrick Carnes, and I would be honoured to be a part of your journey to help you achieve your goals.
Together we will work on strategies to create awareness and identify the root cause of your presenting problems. To put it simply: my goal is your goal. I use an eclectic evidence-based approach to address mental health concerns, blending CBT, DBT, IFS, Attachment Theory, Family Systems, and other therapeutic modalities to help you achieve your goals.
Reaching out for support is a courageous first step. I honour this courage by having a person-centered approach to counselling. I believe you have the strengths and resources inside you to heal, and our goal is rediscover the power you hold.
