You already have the answers you need. All you need is someone to listen as you figure out what you already know or encourage you to make the changes you need. You may need permission to take a step, set a boundary, or leave an unhealthy relationship. Counseling allows you to let down walls, process pain, and gain insight from a trusted, neutral person without fear of judgment. I work with adults and couples experiencing relational pain, anxiety, depression, and various life transitions - including premarital. You can always reach out, and I can help determine if we're a good fit. If not, I'll help you find someone who is.
I received my Master of Social Work with a concentration in social justice and diversity from the University of Toronto in 2006. I have worked extensively with survivors of abuse and sexual assault - including narcissistic abuse. I also partner with the Reclamation Collective and am passionate about providing support during religious trauma recovery.
Life is not meant to be experienced alone. We all have a limit to our capacity to handle overwhelming events and emotions. Painful events do not always result in trauma if you have support. I know how much courage and vulnerability it takes to reach out and ask for help. Your story matters to me, and I look forward to talking with you soon.
