My ideal client is at the bottom of their “to do” list. They are overworked and pushing themselves beyond capacity. They are likely suffering from symptoms of burnout, stress, anxiety and/or depression. These clients often struggle to understand their own needs because they have neglected themselves, and their mental health for far too long.
I offer therapy sessions for individuals struggling in their day to day lives. Therapy is more than identifying/changing patterns, it is also an introspective journey into yourself. Together we explore, and redefine your relationship with yourself and those in your life by improving self-awareness, communication and establishing healthy boundaries.
Life has many ups and downs, learn to maintain a healthy life balance. When struggling with mental health issues, the smallest steps can create big changes. Using evidence-based skills and tools, you can learn to change your life at your own pace. When you are ready, please reach out and we can begin your journey together.
