If anxiety is holding you back, it’s time to make a change
I'm here to help you with compassionate care.
Are you struggling with racing thoughts, frequent worrying or imagining the worst?
Maybe you’re finding it hard to concentrate or make decisions.
Anxiety can impact your relationships, motivation, physical health and overall quality of life.
Anxiety can be so overwhelming and exhausting that sometimes you might feel like hiding from the world.
You might be wondering what's wrong with you. Perhaps you blame yourself or feel guilty.
You don't want to keep going on like this, but you don't know what to do to make things better.
I specialize in supporting adults like you manage anxiety.
Imagine feeling more at ease, with better insight into your emotions and needs. Imagine harnessing your strengths to help you build confidence and greater self-acceptance and having the tools you need to manage life’s challenges.
Using talk therapy and/or art therapy, we’ll explore your feelings in a safe and compassionate environment.
Using evidence-based techniques I will guide you towards managing anxiety and regaining control over your life.
Ready to take the first step towards feeling better? I invite you to book a free 15-minute consultation. This is a chance for us to connect and see if we’re a good fit. Alternatively, you can start with a low-cost trial session to really get a sense of how we can work together. You deserve to feel heard, supported, and empowered. Let’s embark on this journey together.
Hi! I'm Karen
Curious, patient, open, reflective, and supportive
My practice is centred on creating a comfortable, atmosphere that doesn't feel "clinical." Many of my clients describe our sessions as informal yet purposeful leading to profound insights and personal growth.
In our first session, we’ll get to know each other and create a personalized plan just for you. Through talking and/or art making, together, we will uncover the roots of your struggles, develop strategies tailored to your individual needs, and foster skills to manage your life more effectively.
What is art therapy?
Art therapy (or art psychotherapy) is a mental health profession that combines the creative process and psychotherapy. Art therapy involves incorporating art materials and artmaking (and sometimes other creative means) to help individuals of all ages express, explore and work through their feelings, thoughts, and experiences.
Who I Work With
I primarily work with women and men in their late 20s to early 60s. Many have a strong sense of responsibility and a tendency to set high standards for themselves. They have great qualities, but don't always recognize them. While many see them as confident, calm and composed, the reality is that they tend to overthink and worry, often focusing on pleasing others rather than themselves. Sometimes they wonder if they are "good enough." They are feeling stressed and anxious and need support to help with coping, self-compassion, setting boundaries and tending to their own needs and self-care.
