Therapy can be a powerful place to learn about yourself and the unhelpful patterns that are keeping you stuck. More importantly, it’s a place to learn skills and acquire tools to be able to manage your life and see the change you are looking for.
The majority of clients I see struggle with balancing a demanding job, a commute, maintaining a household, managing relationships and being a parent or they are young adults dealing with the pressures of school and peer groups. Both types of clients often present with symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic and burn out.
Drawing from therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Therapy, my goal is to help clients learn new and effective ways of coping that will help with these challenges.
As a mother myself to young children, I also have a keen interest in helping new mothers with their mental health. Working in collaboration with our Naturopathic Doctors, we can help whether you’re just finding it challenging to adapt to your new role as mom or you’re having more serious issues with your mood due to Post-Partum depression & anxiety.
I love working at Restore because I’m a big believer in the mind-body connection and having the opportunity to collaborate with other practitioners is the key to integrative care.
