Practice information:

I help people who struggle with mood, anxiety, and self worth change their lives for the better.

Do any of the following apply to you?

• I struggle to take risks and invest in myself

• I would never treat someone as badly as I treat myself

•  I don’t feel comfortable in my own skin

• I evaluate myself constantly

• I don't feel grounded

• I need a lot of kindness, understanding, and love from others because I get none from myself

• I feel emotions strongly, and experience this as a weakness rather than a strength

Take a deep breath and imagine what it would be like to feel completely at home in your own body and showing up for yourself like a trusted, life-long friend that will always have your back. Imagine knowing exactly how to respond to disruptive mood or anxiety issues so that they get better rather than worse. Self-worth isn’t about being perfect or hustling to earn your own approval. It’s about feeling complete just as you are, even when you make mistakes and still have a lot to work on.

I set my practice apart by combining Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with holistic counselling. CBT, a system of evidence-based tools, is prescriptive, formulaic, and goal-directed. It provides structure and strength to sessions. Holistic therapy, by contrast, is creative and gentle. Many people need more than a set of tools to truly come into relationship with themselves and heal. It pulls from metaphors, imagery, and narrative. It provides flexibility, nuance, and grace to sessions. These theories are wonderfully complementary and work together to facilitate an inner environment that is safe and compassionate. They support us in improving our lives through achievable goals and hard work balanced with acceptance of that which we cannot change, appreciating beauty, and allowing joy into our lives in even the toughest times.

Feel free to visit my website to read testimonials and thank you notes from past clients. I offer a free phone or video consultation so that I can get a sense of what you're working on and answer any questions you might have. This informal conversation gives us both the opportunity to determine whether we are a good fit. I also create supportive articles and resources to contribute to the heath and wellness of my community-- simply email me to opt-in and receive this free support. 

If you feel like we could be a good match to work together, reach out! I look forward to getting started.
