Society tells us becoming a parent should to be natural, joyful, and will happen within our desired timeline. For some there is truth to this, but many parents are left disoriented with the gap between their expectations and reality. We are urged to pour into our children, give them all of our attention, but also find time for ourselves and our relationship. The challenges of this stage of life can leave parents feeling lonely, overwhelmed and with a sense of personal failure. You might wonder who you even are anymore and if things will ever change - If you are struggling, you are not alone, and it doesn’t have to stay this way.

Every now and then, our emotions and feelings can prevent us from moving forward and living our best life. Taking the first step and reaching out for help takes courage and strength. The journey to self-discovery and healing requires both courage and vulnerability, and I believe you possess an innate strength to overcome life's challenges. My approach involves considering the broader context of one's life and experiences, promoting a better understanding and positive changes. Together, we will explore your unique story, identify obstacles, and develop strategies in achieving your goals.

Caregiving Counselling: Are you or someone you are caring for facing a situation that is causing you stress, worry or dread? Perhaps you feel you are not handling things well and think you can't do it anymore. Adjusting to a new health diagnosis, changes to work, retirement or new living situations can impact your well being. Dealing with sadness and cumulative loss can feel insurmountable. If you are a caregiver/partner, you may be experiencing heavy burden and feel overwhelmed and isolated. You may feel stuck or trapped and worry about the future.

I believe that we all have the capacity for happiness and that certain valid things in life get in the way of us achieving it. That might be past hurts, trauma, anxiety, depression, self-doubt, the state of the world, and/or systems of oppression. For some people it could be a sense that things are "good enough" just as they are, or even a fear of hoping for better. These experiences can prevent us from forming the healthy relationships we want, engaging in fulfilling careers or activities, or even identifying what we truly want out of life. Therapy can be a collaborative place to help sort some of these concerns out.
