Alcohol Use Therapists in T2J

Has anxiety and depression become amplified for you with issues from the past resurfacing? Maybe you have been to counselling before but would like to try a more holistic approach; one that will teach you the tools needed to overcome feelings of sadness, dread and uncertainty? Often times, experiences buried from childhood and the past resurface as adults which can greatly affect the way we feel and our sense of purpose in the world. It isn’t until things get so uncomfortable, that we feel the only option available is to make a change. This isn’t always easy but reaching out for support, is the first and most important step.

I help adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, loss, addiction, chronic pain, excessive stress, low happiness, life transitions, and who are ready to integrate new ways of being into their life. I work with adults who are interested in identity evolution and habit evolution and want to thrive.
