Welcome to a journey of psychotherapy
 
When you are looking at this profile, you are probably concerned about yourself to the point that you want to seek help. You may be experiencing intense emotions/strong feelings, like fear, anger, sadness, loneliness or helplessness, and it has been impacting on your life, such as your relationship, work, sleep... You are likely to have questions on how psychotherapy can help and which therapist will fit. Let’s slow down and take a deep breath... I would first like to applaud your decision to seek help because it takes courage. This is a significant sign of your readiness to acknowledge your issues and to make changes.
 
It will be a privilege to your therapist.  Together we will make the changes you need.  I promise I will be there with you every step of this journey to discover a path towards restoration and growth.  Please call me or email me for a free consultation.  You can also visit my website www.oceanbell.ca to do an online booking!
