Life happens to all of us, and it can be unfair, traumatic, disappointing, stressful, and leave you feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, hurt, and exhausted. Know that, no matter the situation, you have what it takes; you are enough to overcome the problems that poses as a barrier to your authentic connection to self and others. I have supported and equipped struggling individuals, couples and families to live a relational life of authentic connection to themselves and others regardless of their circumstances. There is hope in every situation and you have within you the strength and resources to move from coping to healing. I am a relational, trauma-focused Registered Social Worker, and Psychotherapist whose empathy helps to create a safe, empowering, and non-judgmental space where you can process complex issues like PTSD, anxiety, depression, addiction, interpersonal challenges and other psychosocial problems. Are you experiencing challenges in navigating your way through a tough time in your life? I will work collaboratively with you to find strategies needed to process and resolve the difficulties that are negatively impacting your mental health. I am honoured to be invited on your journey of self-discovery, healing and growth, hence, from our initial session, the goal will be to help you feel safe, heard, and valued as a unique person as we work together to move you from coping to healing. Usually, for the first session, I will orient you to the therapeutic process so you know what to expect and get to know you apart from the problem. Finally, you’ll talk about your concerns that brought you to therapy and the outcome/goals you hope to achieve throughout our time together.
