You feel like you “should” be strong, coping with life and in control of your emotions, and yet you feel helpless and doubtful losing belief in yourself. You want to be hopeful, feeling joy and peace in life but you do not know how to sustain that. You have a lot on your plate, exhausted, noticing continued and growing stress on yourself and your relationships with others. Often these times are coupled with feelings of loneliness, fear, anxiousness, impatience, resentment, bitterness, feeling inadequate along with shame or guilt for having those feelings.

I believe the therapy process involves forming a relationship with someone who you can share with and trust. A third party who wont judge you, or share/gossip your most intimate secrets or life struggles with others. It's nice having friends and or family to share with, but that isn't always an option, nor is it always safe. I provide my clients with an environment free from judgement where you can let your guard down, vent, share and just be you. Therapy doesn't mean there's something wrong with you, it means you're ready to grow and better understand yourself, others and hopefully life. Isn't that what we're all striving for?

Feeling worthless, helpless, overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed? Do you feel that life is unmanageable? Sometimes do you feel that the light is too far away? Are you exhausted and worn out?

My focus in therapy will help you get the strength to "get back up". Our sessions will focus on what your needs are, and together, we can begin the process of healing.

Life sometimes throws us a curve ball. Daily life struggles and stress that we have normally handled with relative ease can suddenly seem overwhelming. Too much stress and the inability to handle it properly can begin to undermine our potential to enjoy our work and to care for ourselves and others. Finances, parenting, relationships, school, care taking, health concerns, and loss can be stressful aspects of life. When we begin to internalize these external stressors it can lead to depression, anxiety, anger, addiction, poor health, phsysical/emotional exhaustion and relationship problems.

Healing, recovery and growth depend on experiencing ourselves, others and life challenges in a new and healthier way. Change is an action. When we do things differently, our lives change. Therapy is a process of understanding the roots of our patterns and learning to respond to life in new and healthier ways. Awareness comes first, then action comes next. It is the action that allows us to take our lives in a direction that is more connected to our true selves. It takes tremendous courage to embark on that journey, but the reward of a fulfilling life and healthy, happy relationships are worth the time and effort invested.

The Avery Centre has experienced and compassionate therapists ready to help children and adults suffering from trauma, grief, loss, and/or PTSD. After a crisis, loss, or trauma, each individual has their own way of grieving, and coping. Sadness, guilt, shock, anger, frustration, rage, and feelings of helplessness may occur. The healing process may begin with the passage of time and the support of loved ones; however, professional help may be needed for support during the initial shock of the situation and later on while experiencing different stages of the grief cycle. The Avery Centre was created to provide clients with support, guidance, understanding, and empathy during these most difficult times.

Struggling with addiction and feel rehab isn’t an option? Leaving your family, job, school and responsibilities for an extended period of time is not always needed to get yourself healthy and on track. If you or a loved one are struggling with addiction, I know the challenges of this lifestyle. Being caught in the cycle of addiction is hard-feelings of fear, failure, guilt, and shame. You may have tried stopping on your own, only to find yourself engaging in the same unhelpful behavior. Breaking this cycle alone is tough! Counseling may be more effective for you than rehab. I specialize in moderation & abstinence based approaches.
