I specialize in treating Type-C Personalities (Conscientious/Competent/Self-Controlled). These tend to be people who are dedicated hard-workers, concerned about the welfare of others, and wanting to ensure that they are doing “the right thing”. Driven by strong internal values and principles, they often get hard on themselves, believing that they can “always do more”. This can complicate things for them--at work, at home, and in relationships--as while they take pride for being dependable/reliable individuals, they struggle to open up to others. This can lead to burnout, a felt sense of loneliness and isolation, and chronic pain.
Sounding familiar? As a trained counselling professional, I come with over 9 years experience in the therapeutic field. I understand the challenges these people go through--oftentimes alone. Together, we can address exactly what it is that creates these tension areas for you, and charter a path towards more freedom, connection, and ease in your daily life.
These are incredibly unsettling times. It's important that we feel supported and connected throughout this period of uncertainty. Whether you are coming as an individual, or as a couple, I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space that promotes resiliency and compassion. Your concerns do matter, and I want to help you with it!
