Mental health support for physical illness, pain and uncertainty. There are points in our lives where we may find ourselves wondering "who am I now?", "what is my purpose?", "is this how I want to live?". We may grapple with a yearning to be truly understood by the people around us, a desire to make sense of the suffering we've experienced and hold deep set fears about illness and death. We may feel fundamentally different compared to others and who we used to be leaving us unsure of ourselves, our needs and our interactions. Different stages of illness and periods of our lives may also bring on new questions and concerns for us to explore so we can connect with what matters most to us.
Who are you underneath the negative self-beliefs? Who could you be? As a Registered Psychotherapist and Recreation Therapist, I can assist you in answering those questions, building self-worth, improving positive beliefs and finding a pathway to self-acceptance that opens the door to greater confidence.
Most of my work is facilitating the individual to work through issues and see themselves in a positive framework. Focusing on individuals strengths and abilities.
The internal voices which speak to us about our career, our looks, our home, and our abilities have an amazing ability to build us up or tear us down. Some of the ways which our therapists use to help clients improve their sense of self-esteem include: challenging negative thoughts and beliefs; practicing self-care and self-compassion; surrounding yourself with positive and supportive people; and engaging in activities that bring a sense of accomplishment and pleasure.
Exploring self-esteem is a path of self-discovery aiming to understand what you attribute to your personal sense of worth. Exploring a variety of areas in therapy can allow you to understand the emotions and experiences impacting your self-belief and establish the boundaries you require to be confident and comfortable being you.
I am dedicated to helping clients create an accepting relationship with themselves through using self-compassion and body-based strategies to transform punitive self-talk into a caring space of support and encouragement.
Believe in yourself. Create healthy boundaries. Acceptance of yourself. Developing necessary skills. These are the four foundations of self-esteem. Step by step we will build the building of your self-esteem.
I offer compassionate support for individuals looking to cultivate a positive self-image and build confidence. I help clients explore their strengths, overcome self-limiting beliefs, and develop a more resilient and positive sense of self.
