Online Therapy for Life Stress and Transitions in British Columbia
You Might Notice:
Pervasive burnout characterized by deep exhaustion, cynicism, and a feeling of detachment from your career or personal life.
Feeling lost or stuck during a significant life transition (like a career change, end of a relationship, or move) and struggling to define your next steps.
Grief or sadness that feels overwhelming or ongoing, whether due to loss, illness, or the realization that a life goal is no longer possible.
Losing your sense of self and feeling disconnected from your passions, leading you to wonder, "Who am I now?"
Difficulty saying "no," leading to over-committing, resentment, and a feeling that your needs are always secondary to others.
A heightened sense of worry or overwhelm that makes navigating everyday challenges feel like an insurmountable task.
Life is a constant process of change but sometimes those changes feel more like a breaking point. Whether you are dealing with career burnout, the grief of a lost relationship, or the emotional weight of a major life milestone, feeling lost, stuck, or overwhelmed is a valid response. This is a space to process those shifts, build resilience, and rediscover your authentic purpose
My approach is built on the understanding that transition is a natural part of being human, but you don't have to carry the weight alone. In our relational space, we will compassionately explore the difficult emotions that arise during stress, using them as guides rather than obstacles. The goal is to move from feeling reactive to feeling intentional and grounded.
My Compassionate Approach to Navigating Change
Define Your Core Values for Direction: Use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify what truly matters to you, allowing you to make decisions that move you toward the life you want, even amidst uncertainty.
Heal Internal Conflict and Shame: Apply IFS-informed (Parts Work) compassion to the parts of you that carry the weight of burnout, fear, and self-judgment related to past decisions or transitions.
Navigate Relational Changes: Utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) principles to understand your patterns in new or evolving relationships, helping you feel more secure, connected, and heard.
Ground Your Nervous System: Develop sustainable self-regulation practices to calm the stress response and find genuine rest, moving beyond the belief that rest must be "earned."
Establish Boundaries: Learn practical and relational ways to set boundaries that protect your energy and time, creating space for healing and growth.
