Reaching out to start therapy can be a daunting process. Feeling lost, confused, stuck or concerned about stress, managing a big life-changing event or relationship struggles can leave a mix of emotions that can seem difficult to manage.
I provide therapy for adults who have experienced a concussion, are struggling with anxiety, self-esteem issues, relationship /communication issues, disordered eating and/or addictions.
The incident of suffering a concussion is like having all the boxes in our heads that hold our coping mechanisms, our memories, and our struggles, spill out all at once. This is an overwhelming process, in addition to physical discomforts and other pending issues. It can feel like nothing makes sense. In my experience, having support from someone who has also lived through this issue is key to being able to move forward. I provide a safe, supportive environment for adults struggling with a concussion and for those who are dealing with anxiety, self-esteem issues, and communication challenges that accompany this situation.
In addition, my years in the food industry have given me a unique perspective on food and nutrition, and disordered eating. I have a Bachelor of Applied Science in Food and Nutrition and am a Red Seal Chef and this particular combination in addition to my counselor training provides a particular nuance into how I can assist. I am rooted in a strengths-based approach, while also using cognitive behavioural techniques and opening up the discussion to childhood experiences that may be at the root of anxiety, self-esteem issues or disordered eating. I offer a safe space where we will work together to create, develop and learn to implement new skills and strategies so you can be your best self.
If this sounds like a place for you and you’d like to begin your healing journey with me, I offer a 60-minute free consultation to see if we are a good fit. I would love to be a part of the excursion.
I practice the following modalities from an informed lens:
