Therapists in Barrie, ON
Everyone gets a little stuck sometimes. We experience painful experiences that can be hard to move past. We become overwhelmed by our responsibilities and sometimes burn out. We get in arguments with loved ones, and we make mistakes. We're human. If you're looking to get back on track, you've come to the right place. My goal is to support you in learning to balance the conflicting expectations and responsibilities in your life, and also make time for the things that you enjoy. To support you as you explore your own needs and desires and learn to have compassion for yourself, instead of beating yourself up all of the time.

As an MA Level graduate student, "I believe that much of life’s suffering contains within it an inner meaning, waiting to be discovered, seen, and realized. Where one suffers, is often the place that contains the seed of new development and personal growth. What is being asked of us is to take the steps to enter deep within ourselves, in order to see what needs be seen, and what needs be felt, and do what needs be done. It is in the process of entering into ourselves that we find the “attitude” that meets our true needs. We will collaborate in creating a field of trust, understanding and courage to achieve your goals and heal".

Do you sometimes feel out of touch with yourself or distant from the people in your life? Do your own needs often get pushed aside, buried under everything else you have to do? Maybe you’ve caught yourself thinking that life should feel more fulfilling or joyful than it does. Ignoring our personal needs and not carving out time for self-care can have lasting effects on both our mental and physical well-being. But I believe that creating a better, more balanced life doesn’t have to be a struggle. I can help you reconnect with your true self, and your personal needs and desires.
