I provide specialized therapy for leaders who are feeling the weight of responsibility bearing down on their shoulders. Often times the challenges of leadership become more complex while you internally struggle with the burden of unresolved trauma or emotional fatigue that comes in leading others. Difficulties can show up in various ways such as irritability, burn out, physical symptoms, wanting to isolate, procrastination and fatigue. In my work with leaders, I have found that issues in both personal and work life can show up as feelings of numbness, anxiety, depression, or confusion. This is so hard on both you, your family and those you lead.

The most important part of therapy for leaders is the work we do to build trust and a confidential and safe space where they can feel like they can explain the complex inner experiences and emotions without feeling judged.

As a trauma-focused Psychotherapist, Enneagram Coach, John Maxwell Certified Coach, and Compassion Fatigue Specialist, I offer tailored support to help you thrive mentally, emotionally, and professionally. Through techniques like EMDR therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), we’ll navigate past traumas, leadership challenges, and compassion fatigue together.

When we get started, the first few sessions will allow me to hear your story and where you are at now. Many of your earlier experiences can frame and create a filter in terms of how you view yourself, others and your circumstances. I want to hear what has brought you strength and where are the struggles. Together we will determine the goals that you have and the best way to navigate past traumas, leadership challenges and compassion fatigue.

Investing in therapy for yourself as a leader can have a lasting effect on how you view the world and provide leadership into the future.

As a Registered Psychotherapist, my areas of focus include:
Trauma Therapy | Support for Leaders | Anxiety Issues for Adults | Life Transitions

I am no longer taking on new clients. However, our team of Psychotherapists are trained and supervised by me. The great thing about seeing a Therapist on our team is that most of them work evenings and weekends, and offer lower therapy fees. Since I supervise the therapists, it’s essentially like having two clinicians working on your case, as I frequently consult with them and review cases. 

If you’re ready to get started, our team offers a 20-minute consult to determine whether we are a good fit. I’d love to see you or a member of your family get the help they need to live better!
