Sometimes people come to therapy because they feel unfulfilled and are not sure how to create the change they want. Other times, people have a clear vision for the direction of their life but they are struggling to overcome the internal obstacles getting in the way of their goals. I often work with clients who are struggling to overcome rigid patterns of avoidance. My intention is to help people develop a clearer sense of what is important to them as well as what is getting in the way. Once we have a deeper understanding of this, the ongoing work becomes continuing to refocus on our valued directions.

I want to work with you on healthy coping strategies to not only improve your life but to thrive. You deserve to have meaningful connected relationships and grow your self-worth and purpose as you heal from struggles

When searching for a therapist several thoughts may be floating around your head.

As a fellow human, I have been in the position you now sit... wanting and needing help and not knowing where to start. When life feels like it's just a lot, sitting with a therapist may be just what you need to decompress, gain insight and feel connected again.

Welcome! I’m Maggie, a Registered Social Worker who deeply values connecting with people. My therapeutic approach is compassionate, holistic, integrative, and dialectic in nature: Encouraging you to accept yourself as you are, while simultaneously working to make changes to ways of being that are no longer serving you. In therapy, I aim to provide a comfortable venue for you to gain insight into, and discuss parts of your life that have become challenging and uncomfortable. Together we will discover new ways of being and behaving that are more useful for you.

In this moment, you may be feeling stressed, overwhelmed, anxious or burned out by life's challenges or transitional chapters. I believe that healing is growth in the face of adversity; it is a journey of coming (back) into yourself with deep self compassion, and we all have insight into how to get there. Sometimes we just need a bit of support along the way; someone to hold (non judgemental space) and work alongside us to find solutions, develop coping strategies and build on our own skills and wisdom so that we are more emotionally resilient to life's challenges.
