Psychotherapy is specifically designed to help you become more aware of your mind so you can move out of negative patterns of reactivity into a place of responsiveness, where you get to choose how you wish to respond to anything happening in your life. Since your mind is both conscious and unconscious, what's not fully conscious often has the most power in our decision making and our behaviour. It's why you may find yourself saying or doing things you said you never do. Through the process of psychotherapy, we're here to help you grow your awareness of your mind so you can feel empowered in your life.

Individuals often come to psychotherapy when the coping strategies they were previously using are no longer helpful, and potentially, they have become problematic or destructive. Together we will explore the areas of your life that are frustrating you or causing you pain, and/or discuss situations or relationships from the past that are still impacting your life today.
