BA (Hon), JD, MA - Counselling Psychology, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

*Serving Clients in Ontario*

You have a deep-seated feeling that you are meant for greater things – a feeling that given the right environment, and the right circumstances, you can thrive. But you haven’t quite experienced this yet in reality. You are loving, compassionate and attentive, but for one reason or another, life hasn’t “come together” as well as you thought it should have. Either your relationships haven’t progressed or you haven’t found satisfaction at work — or both!! As a result, your days are stressful, exhausting, and it feels like this cycle of defeat and disappointment won’t end. But the cycle can end.

I’ve been there. Having struggled with self-esteem and self-confidence, I know how it feels to live life reactively rather than proactively — a default life rather than a created life. I know what it is to feel aimless, unworthy, and without a purpose. However, through developing a keen understanding of myself, my skills, and my values, I have cultivated more confidence, self-awareness, and self-compassion so that I can live my life with intention and purpose rather than with resignation and defeat. Now my mission is to help you do the same.

The therapy journey to finding yourself again will include:

  • Understanding where your self-limiting beliefs come from.

  • Observing patterns in your past experiences, behaviours, and reactions to stressors.

  • Developing the courage to be vulnerable and to try new things.

  • Becoming keenly acquainted with your strengths and learning to cultivate your new life around those strengths.

I invite you to reach out to me (David), so that we can begin the process of helping you find yourself again. I look forward to meeting you.
