Are you in a loop of self-blame, regret, or anxiety over how events in your life have gone or are going? Would those close to you say you "have it together" but, deep down, circumstances have left you feeling "not good enough"? Has the shame or disappointment eroded trust in your ability to make confident decisions for your relationships, your job, your life direction? Whether symptoms began due to unfortunate luck, a traumatic event, relationship breakdown, etc., I help identify patterns keeping you stuck and offer solution-focused, evidence based strategies to address anxiety, self-doubt, indecision, PTSD, and codependency.
I often work with healthcare professionals, high achievers, and people pleasers to reduce symptoms of over-responsibility, overfunctioning, and perfectionism. I utilize CBT, CPT, PE, and EMDR to help clients develop awareness and skills. In terms of style, I'm a down to earth, straight shooter who often uses humor to connect and inspire accountability.
If you're feeling ready to make change and are looking for a focused, goal-directed counselling experience, let's talk! I work with clients to develop individualized counselling goals and further collaborate to develop personalized treatment plans.
