Managing your life has been taking up all the room you had for living it. Maybe you are feeling stretched thin, constantly moving from one thing to the next, or realizing that the way you have been holding it all together is no longer working. There is always something that needs your attention, and somewhere along the way there has been less and less room for yourself. When life gets this full, connection is often the first thing to get pushed aside.
I work with people who are running on very little and have started calling that normal. Parents, couples, and families where everyone is doing what they can to keep things moving. Work, school, parenting, and the pressure to keep up can slowly pull people away from themselves and each other. Eventually, "we're fine" becomes the way a family gets through the week, even when nobody is really thriving.
My sessions are warm and conversational, with enough structure to keep us moving. We start with what you want to be different, then work backwards from there. We identify something you can try during the week, then look at what happened when you come back. Clients often tell me they feel at ease with me quickly, which I think matters when you are talking about things that are not always easy to say.
I see clients virtually across Alberta, with appointments in the morning, into the evening and on weekends. You can put the kids to bed and log on at eight. Your teen can attend without leaving class. When time is the resource you are shortest on, taking the commute out of the equation matters a great deal.
What I hope for you is a life where taking care of yourself, your relationships, and the people you love does not feel like one more thing you are failing to fit in.
