REGISTERED PSYCHOTHERAPIST (CRPO)

Choose Life!

Sometimes life inevitably gifts us with challenges that seem beyond our control and are overwhelming. I believe that during these times we have the opportunity to uncover our inherent strength and resilience, discover more about ourselves, gain insight, increase in faith, and hope into what is most important in life. It is my belief that by creating greater awareness, through support, we can better choose how we respond to these gifts that life gives us!

Why going to therapy does not mean you are weak or flawed

We strongly believe that people can grow when they go through difficulties and life challenges. Choosing to engage in therapy means that you have made a decision to make a change for better wellness even if you may feel fragmented or over-whelmed with life. Life is a gift, and on a neurological level, therapy can allow you to create healthy pathways in your brain which can replace problematic ones (neuroplasticity).

Therapy can help you to mature as a person, realize what is possible, and finally let go of the pain in order to heal. Although it may be challenging to enter this process, the reward is greatly fulfilling. We see people heal and achieve wellness goals often and it is truly a blessing to be apart of.
