Most of us have a place within where we are healthy and experience well-being. However, the experience may be fleeting for some. Difficult experiences such as loss, illness, family dysfunction, burnout , trauma, and sudden changes may impact how we function in life. At times, coping strategies can turn into unhealthy patterns which may manifest as anxiety, chronic pain, depression, relationship problems, problems at work, anger or extreme stress. Therapy can support us to identify with the parts of ourselves which are healthy. By connecting to our authentic core, we intentionally choose strategies and lifestyles that best serve our lives and relationships.
Paula currently offers online video sessions to clients in Atlantic Canada. Services are offered to clients in need of support with grief, illness, chronic pain, stress, anxiety, trauma, and relational issues.
