Do you find yourself stuck in cycles of overthinking, anxiety, or “what if” thoughts that feel hard to escape? Are you finding yourself avoiding things you once enjoyed, or noticing your relationships being impacted by how you’re feeling? If you’re hoping to build self-esteem, reduce rumination, and reconnect with life, you’re not alone, and I would love to support you in this process.
I work with clients navigating generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), low self-esteem, perfectionism, and I have specialized training in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and related disorders. I also recognize where anxiety symptoms and trauma responses may intersect. My work focuses on building practical skills to increase confidence and reduce anxiety and low mood, creating a foundation that can support deeper work, when you feel ready. I also welcome you to share topics that feel uncomfortable or difficult to say, as they often lead to meaningful change.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). If your thoughts feel compulsive or irrational yet very real and distressing, these approaches help you respond differently, in a space that is both supportive and structured.
I offer virtual therapy across Canada with flexible evening availability. I welcome you to contact me at rylie@thetherapyspace.co to schedule a free 15-minute consultation and explore whether working together feels like a good fit.
