Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in P3E

My style as a therapist tends to be more interactive than neutral, and I work hard to help my clients to progress toward their goals as quickly as possible. I have been practicing psychotherapy for well over 25 years and have helped my clients in individual and couples session settings. I utilize the ACT, DBT, CBT, CPT, Psychodynamic, and existential therapy approaches. I emphasize treatment methods supported by the latest research findings. My research focuses on improving the predictability of the psychiatric rating scales.

Accepting New Clients! Navigating life’s challenges can be hard and often needs support. I am a Registered Psychotherapist and Recreation Therapist with experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns from depression, anxiety, panic and phobias, and relationship issues. I enjoy supporting people through difficult life transitions, coping with chronic pain and illness, grief, interpersonal challenges, limiting self-beliefs and low self-esteem. I work with both individuals and couples to build healthier more meaningful relationships by enhancing connection, communication, and understanding.

Accepting NEW Clients – Do you find feeling stuck, anxious, or wishing you had more confidence or self-esteem? Are you interested in understanding yourself or your choices more and in digging into the roots of why you feel the way you do? Are you interested in looking at your past, taking your power back over experiences, and learning coping skills or tools? Together, we can look at your past, present, and future goals, and provide you with an understanding of what this means to you.

Hello and welcome! As a registered social worker practicing psychotherapy with adults, I am passionate about supporting the mental health and overall wellness of others in a kind, considerate, respectful way. I work with people experiencing a wide range of wellness challenges, including ADHD, BPD, stress, anxiety, anger, depression, intense emotions, and difficult circumstances. I enjoy connecting with others, listening to clients' stories and offering a safe, non-judgmental space for them to unpack their personal challenges, gain new insights into themselves, and develop additional coping skills.

My eclectic treatment approach focuses on supporting the mind and body towards healing. I consider my approach to be non-judgmental, holistic, trauma informed, evidence-based, and compassionate. For the last 18 years I have worked in the social services sector and for over a decade I have worked in a therapeutic capacity in various roles that focused on counselling and assessment skills. Please check out my website to see how various treatment approaches can help you achieve your goals.

Accepting NEW Clients - Do you feel “stuck” in your day-to-day life or unsure how to move forward in a way that makes you feel fulfilled? Are you interested in learning more about how your childhood impacts you as an adult? Does it feel like your past experiences are weighing on you, and your sense of self is foggy or unclear? Are you interested in exploring different perspectives or figuring out who you’d like to move forward as? Together we can look at the steps that have brought you to this point, and increase self-awareness, emotional stability, and insight into your experiences.

Life is nothing short of amazing. It's amazing how much we can go through and live to tell about it. It's amazing how fast kids grow up and time flies, how angry a co-worker can make you, how much compassion we can seem to have for others when we struggle to offer any to ourselves. It's amazing how much we put on our plates when all we need is to rest. It's amazing how much we can long for understanding and connection and how much opportunity can be missed right in front of our eyes. It's amazing how short life is. It's also amazing how much we can learn in the time we have, and how little steps can amount to such massive change.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) in good standing with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I hold a Masters Degree in Counselling Psychology and a B.A. in Psychology.

I'm here for the outcasts, the misfits, the unconventional, and the eccentric! My mission is to create a unique space where your identity will be celebrated while we work through the issues that you want support around. With me, all individuals are valued, but as a boldly queer and neuro-spicy nerd, I offer a special refuge for my fellow "weirdos".

You may be feeling stuck, emotionally overwhelmed, having distressing memories or unsure what steps to take next in your journey towards healing. If you are wanting to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, explore your early childhood, process trauma or seek support navigating present day challenges like work-life balance, relationship challenges, family life and/or more, I would be honored to help guide and support you. I provide a space for you to process challenges you may be facing, gain insight and work toward meaningful change through EMDR, CPT, mindfulness, self-compassion, emotional regulation and/or mixed interventions.

Virtual services available throughout Ontario. I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist, registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario. I’m here to guide you through life’s most complex and difficult matters. I truly care about my clients’ well-being and will work collaboratively with you to better understand and manage the problems you are experiencing.

When we live in a harmonious and balanced way, we are able to thrive in our daily life and relationships and appreciate all that life has to offer. However, I know there are various influences that create challenges, whether they are within or outside of us. That's why my goal is to help clients understand themselves and their story as well as gently guide them in exploring how they can overcome these challenges in a way that allows them to remain confident and true to themselves. Together, we will develop a therapeutic treatment plan that meets your needs and intentions.

If you are struggling with mental health issues including depression, anxiety, stress, mood disorders or if you are stuck in a difficult and disappointing relationship remember that there is hope and that compassionate and caring help is available. You don't need to go through these difficult times on your own. Focusing on your needs we can utilize a strength-based approach to develop a plan that can get you back on the path to wellness.

It's not just you, life HAS gotten harder in the last few years. If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.

I am thrilled to have the opportunity to help you find peace of mind by addressing issues that cause you stress, confusion & worry. Once we've identified the problem, we'll focus on setting attainable goals, decide which strategies will make a positive difference and how we'll measure your success. Rest assured that you are in charge every step of the way and if you are seriously considering professional counselling you are already starting the process of change. With the best of my knowledge and skills and your committement to work towards your goals, we will succeed.

Harmony can be found in virtually all traditions of thought. Yet, it's meaning varies greatly, ranging from pure accord to a transformative process for accommodating diversity and minimizing conflict within the self.
