About Therapy

Perhaps you're down or anxious, or panicky, feeling trapped or distressed. Maybe you're unsure about the future of a relationship, or just feel that you aren't living the life you want to lead. Maybe you're having intense conflict with your family, or a distant relationship with them is getting you down. Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer support. Therapy is a process of insight building, growth, and self-discovery. In my sessions I promote emotional intelligence/emotional regulation, deeper emotional intimacy with others, and broadening one's understanding of their behaviours or reactions (yes, we don't always know why we do some things we do). I have both the professional and life experience to help you get back on track.

Therapy can be many things to many people. It might include: processing and limiting the negative effects of trauma one has experienced; problem solving dilemmas one is facing in life; learning ways to have more closeness, love, and fulfillment in one's relationships; learning to set boundaries or to say no to others; having one's perspectives validated or challenged; sharing one's story and feeling empathized with; developing insights about yourself, including bringing things to your conscious awareness of which you may have been previously unaware; developing a deeper sense of what makes you "tick," including your belief systems and deepest values; setting personal goals and receiving support to see them through; seeking and receiving meaningful feedback; learning more kindness and patience for yourself; and seeking and developing tools and understanding to relate to the emotional, behavioural, or cognitive aspects of yourself and others.
