Are you feeling overwhelmed by feelings of sadness or grief? Do you try to hide the anxiety that that grips you every day? Do you try so hard to change, but feel stuck and trapped? Are relationships a struggle for you? The majority of the clients I work with struggle with anxiety, relationship issues, grief, family conflict or self-esteem issues. I look forward to giving you the tools to help you take your life back.
You don't need to be ashamed of your feelings anymore. I create a non-judgmental space, where we explore what's underneath those overwhelming emotions. My goal is to give you the tools to carry with you, so that you can transform your pain. I help you to identify patterns/ thoughts that are impacting your behavior and keeping your stuck.
Making the decision to speak with a Counsellor is a huge step. I understand the vulnerability and courage it takes to speak with someone who you have never met. My priority is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel free to be yourself and experience acceptance. I look forward to meeting you and walking with you on your journey..

I use the Emotionally Focused therapy(EFT) approach. It is a relational, attachment-based therapy that helps clients connect with themselves in a secure, gentle and guided way through healing past emotional pain. EFT is a type of therapeutic practice that focuses on the role of emotions in psychotherapeutic change.
