Most of my clients haven't found relief. They may have been unsuccessful in previous therapy ventures like CBT. They are not interested in using medication to resolve their PTSD, Complex PTSD, anxiety, depression, stress, or self-esteem issues. They may have considered suicide or used other control behaviors to help them self-regulate their emotions. They typically have experienced childhood trauma through verbal, sexual, neglect and/or physical abuse that has invaded their adult lives. Or, they may have had entirely normal childhoods, not feeling their experience was different from others, yet still have the above side effects.

Supporting a child or a loved one who is struggling with mental illness can be confusing, overwhelming, and just plain tough. Navigating systems can feel hopeless and pointless. It's like a roller coaster that won’t let you off; leaving you exhausted (and maybe even a little nauseous). Your other responsibilities and your own self-care just seem to fly right out the window. You’ve tried everything to help your loved one, but nothing seems to work. Maybe their personality has changed, and you are worried that things could get even worse. You may even wonder where you went wrong.

One of the most exciting aspects of life is that it is always changing, yet this can also be one of our biggest challenges. Life's transitional moments can be difficult as they can cause stress, uncertainty and confusion and can often lead to feelings of grief and loss. It can make us question ourselves and others and may overwhelm us into inaction. The picture of what we had expected our future to look like changes and we are left with a variety of emotions and no plan forward. I believe that having someone to talk to through these tough times is so helpful. I am grateful to be that person for my clients.

Our lives each contain moments of great joy and sorrow, pain and pleasure, opportunity, and obstacle. At the center of these experiences is our innate search for connection. We need relationships, they are precious and critical, and yet they are not always easy to navigate. Do you struggle to express your needs to your partner? Or perhaps you have a hard time setting boundaries with a parent, friend or colleague? Maybe you find yourself repeating the same argument with a sibling or family member?

Are you desiring to understand yourself better and to nourish aspects of yourself that have been dormant? Perhaps you are seeking a space to feel witnessed, supported, and understood. Together, we can explore where you are coming from, what is holding you back, and where you want to go. My experience as a counsellor continues to teach me about the transformative possibilities that exist as we dissolve the sense of aloneness that so many of us feel.
