These are strange times in which we have found ourselves. Trying to reconnect and re-engage in our "new" world can be overwhelming and exhausting. What were once little worries are now becoming cycling thoughts with no end. We tell ourselves that it's easier to stay on the couch than it is to venture out, call a friend, start that project, or discover a new interest. Perhaps you feel torn? Part of you knows what it wants to see happen in your life and knows what to do to get you there, but another part seems so intent on convincing you that you don't have the motivation or strength to change; you feel so stuck. I know ways to help.

If there is something in your memory, family history, or life choices that make you feel stuck or lost, I can help you explore who you truly are and what you truly want for yourself. Everyone has an imagination, a creative side, strengths and talents that loved ones notice about them. Those things can be drowned out by negative self-talk, unhealthy habits, feelings of isolation and loss, criticism by others. How to start uncovering joy and fulfillment? How to start addressing the scary or sorrowful places inside? In my practice, these go together: we follow what gives you joy and strength to turn towards the hurt you have.

My approach to psychotherapy is based in the belief that we, as people, possess the strength and resources necessary to make positive, helpful changes in our lives. My goal is to help my clients develop solutions to the problems life can present, building resilience and coping skills, reconnecting with their values, and thinking critically (and compassionately) about their own distress processes. In other words: to develop their own compassionate inner-therapist. I strive to create a space with clients that is collaborative, accepting, non-judgmental, and authentic, which I view as essential to the therapeutic relationship.

No matter our age or life stage, the human experience can be challenging, and at times painful. I believe we all have the inner resources and capacity for growth, healing, and well-being, however, at times we need assistance connecting with this. Therapy can facilitate that process. Using non-judgemental presence and compassionate curiosity, I work with clients to facilitate exploration of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Helping clients to gain clarity and understanding of their struggle and experience, and in turn, discover new ways of coping and operating.

Many of the clients I work with struggle with stress, relationship difficulties, grief, and life transitions. These challenges often leave them feeling stuck, prompting them to seek support to regain a sense of balance, clarity, and resilience in their lives. Common goals of clients I work with include processing and working through unresolved trauma, building self-esteem and reducing self-doubt, and improving communication skills. They want to feel empowered to manage their emotions effectively, communicate more effectively in their relationships, and navigate significant life changes with confidence.
