Our lives and all the intersecting parts can be too much to bear at times. Carrying around trauma, negative self-talk and heavy emotions is exhausting and impacts the mind and body. Having someone actively listen without blame, shame or judgment can be the life line needed when your struggling to cope, or just seeking balance and change. I am a Registered Social Worker and have over 18 years of experience working with individuals with complex mental health and addiction issues. Working with clients from diverse backgrounds, I provide professional and confidential counselling to address a number of issues such as anxiety, depression, stress management, life transitions, coping skills, self harming behaviours, communication skills and relationship issues. I believe in treating the whole person and tailor treatment to meet each individual’s personal needs and treatment goals. I work from an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed perspective and am trained in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Solution- Focused Brief Therapy, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Trauma-Informed treatment and Gottman Method of Couples therapy. I would be honored for you to share your story with me. Together, we can explore, unpack and work through new and old issues and challenges, locate yourself in your daily situations, reflect and influence positive change in your life.

My practice approach is to first see the person before the problem and holistically use different practice models like Person-Centered Approach, Strength Based Approach, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Trauma Informed Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Anti-Oppressive Approach, just to mention but a few to support my clients.

On the outside, you are a professional/executive who has everything! Yet, on the inside, you struggle with anxiety, impostor syndrome, overthinking, feeling stuck and defective. You even feel guilty and “ungrateful” for being dissatisfied with your life, and for not spending enough quality time with your loved ones. In fact, you feel lonely at times. You can tell that your work life is negatively impacted by your difficulties; your biggest fear is that one day, you will lose everything you worked so hard for, and that you will never achieve the work and personal lives, as well as the romantic relationship, you yearn for. I can help you to finally: 1. feel in control; 2. be confident without having to work extra hard and putting up a façade; 3. find relief from anxiety, be calm and at peace and; 4. create authentic, loving relationships in which you feel seen and can express yourself. The days when you felt constantly drained will be a distant nightmare. Yes, it’s possible! I should know; I have been there. This is why, with almost a decade of experience as a psychologist, I launched a practice for professionals/executives like yourself, who are driven to achieve the outcomes they deserve. Expect cutting-edge, time-limited therapy, delivered with compassion. Book a free consult at overanxietypsych.com, now!
