If you have experienced things that are so overwhelming or suffered a trauma it can sometimes feel debilitating and this can compromise your ability to function and cope this is because trauma affects our nervous system. When you are triggered by an event or a person you produce an emotional charge and when you leave or ignore these issues they get locked in our body and this affects the way you think, feel and behave. In order to feel better and recover you need to address these unresolved issues to release that emotional charge.

I treat trauma - childhood, shock (eg. accidents, medical) and relational (eg. betrayal, bullying) utilizing IFS and EMDR. These models are experiential, not "talk therapy". I also offer Gottman Method couples counselling. While I see all adults, I have additional training in treating those suffering and addiction, their family members and adult children of alcoholics. Often, people impacted by addiction - their own or someone else's - carry the heavy burdens of shame, anxiety, low self-esteem and other extremely painful legacies. If you are ready to dive deeply into the roots of your distress, IFS and EMDR may be a fit for you.

I love supporting teens, young adults and adults on their journeys. I have extensive experience as a teacher, school counsellor, and as a mom (I have 4 young adult children). Life can feel exhausting and overwhelming at times, as we balance work-family-home-life, especially when challenges are thrown our way. When our kids struggle we struggle alongside them (and vice versa). Our relationships suffer. You may feel sadness, heartbreak, helplessness, worry and fear. Maybe you are feeling lost and lonely or you are not feeling fulfilled in your life. We all go through times in our lives, when we need to reach out for support.

If you've passed the point of trying to merely alleviate symptoms and want to address the root causes of your struggle, I am a therapist that is ready and able to help you do that. I provide a stable and supportive environment that enables you to “go there” in safety, and I consistently provide opportunities and encouragement for you to do so. My clients find me to be highly insightful, effective in the use of analogies and metaphor to increase self-awareness and self-understanding, empathetic, and easy to be vulnerable with. I am non-judgmental, and possess the ability to both meet people where they’re at and to help them shift.

When should a person seek therapy for low self-esteem?
When self-esteem problems begin to disrupt the healthy daily functioning of an individual, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not engaging with friends for fear of being judged, not completing work assignments because they don’t think they’re capable, or not finding romantic love because they don’t feel they’re worthy of it, a therapist may be able to help.
What are the signs of low self-esteem?
Low self-esteem is a common issue that can affect a person's mental and emotional well-being. Some common signs of low self-esteem include negative self-talk, perfectionism, social anxiety, difficulty making decisions, an inability to set boundaries, people-pleasing, and others. A lack of belief in oneself or one’s abilities and a feeling of not being worthy or deserving underlie most of these characteristics.
What causes low self-esteem?
Feelings of low self-worth can begin in childhood or adulthood. Being raised by a highly critical parent or growing up feeling constant disapproval can stay with a person well into adulthood. Specific issues in adulthood may also be a cause of low self-esteem. An unhappy relationship, a dysfunctional work or school experience can impact a person’s feelings of self-worth.
How can therapy improve self-esteem?
Therapists can help identify negative thought patterns that keep the client stuck in a loop of destructive self-talk and develop coping skills to change the voice in their head. A therapist can help with goal-setting, so that clients are better able to stay on task and build confidence from successfully completing work they’re proud of. Coaching a client on how to better communicate can improve relationships. These skills can result in someone with low self-esteem feeling empowered and living with less fear.
