Guiding you toward emotional awareness, balance and flow.
Counselling Services + Specializations
In person + Online therapy for Adults and Couples
Whether you are seeking therapy for yourself or looking for relationship support for you and your loved one, I help clients understand their emotional experience, broaden their self awareness and create space for self compassion and empathy for others. When you allow yourself to explore your emotional landscape you can start to see the patterns that you created to avoid negative emotions such as fear, sadness and shame and how these patterns cause you to desperately grasp at positive emotions such as joy, contentment and peace.
The truth is that we cannot selectively choose our emotional experience and shut down unwanted emotions ends up shutting down all of our emotions. These patterns of avoidance keep you stuck in the very thing they were designed to protect you from - the pain of disconnection from self and others. It is in making friends with all of your emotions that you can access your inner wisdom and navigate your way toward meaningful and genuine connection with yourself and with others.
Anxiety
Do you worry about what others think, engage in worst case scenario thinking or continuously beat yourself up? Life is stressful but an anxious mindset compounds the stress and keeps you stuck in a cycle of anxiety that drains your energy and focused on worst case scenarios. If you want support finding your way out and moving toward emotional balance, book a free consultations so we can chat about how I can help.
Relationship Conflict
As social beings we are designed for connection so it can be confusing and hurtful when distance or conflict cause a close relationship to become a source of uncertainty instead of comfort. The anger and resentment you might express to your loved one provides cover for the fear and sadness of losing that connection. Finding your way back to each other is hard when you get caught in the negative cycle that plays on autopilot. If you are looking to shift that cycle and reach for vulnerable connection with your loved one, book a free consultation to find out how I can help you both get back onto the path of positive connection.
Depression
Are you experiencing loneliness, struggling to find meaning or feeling like you have lost your sense of self? Depression is a self re-enforcing downward spiral that requires a helping hand to help pull you out of that negative vortex of self blame and self hatred. If you want to know more about how I can support you to start to shift out of your depression, book a free consultation.
Grief/Loss
Loss of all kinds are an inevitable part of life, and as such it deserves to be acknowledged and experienced. When grief is not given the space it needs to move through you it can become stuck and leak out in unhelpful ways. This can be especially true with ambiguous losses. In Western culture only death is given the acknowledgement of ritual, and even then mourners are expected to get over it quickly. Other significant losses such as the loss of a job, divorce, break ups, loss of a home, loss of a dream, or loss of a friendship can be hard to grieve when it is not socially recognized. If you need support in moving through your grief so you can move forward in your life, book a free consultation to find out how I can support you to honor your grief and reclaim your joy.
Trauma
When you face the aftermath of a trauma alone and unsupported, that is when the impacts become harmful and extremely difficult to overcome on your own. You are meant to have company in those hard places in order to safely navigate your way back to yourself. Book a free consultation to find out if I would be good fit to guide you toward healing those trauma wounds.
Life Transitions
The only thing certain in life is change, so why are life transitions so hard to navigate? When you are operating from a place of fear of the unknown you naturally prefer the status quo which causes you to avoid the very changes that are inevitable and causing yourself unnecesary pain in the process. When you can identify the fears that prevent you from seeing change as an opportunity for growth, you can learn ways to strengthen your resilience, creativity and adaptability. If you are challenged by adjusting to a significant life change, find out how I can support you to navigate it with awareness, compassion and curiosity by booking a free consultation.
