Therapists in Windsor, ON

I have over 10 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. Over the years I have worked with individuals and families from all different ages, diverse backgrounds, and all walks of life. I have worked with clients in the hospital, school, community and private settings, and have been a clinical instructor for the University of Toronto. Currently I am accepting new adolescent and adult clients. My style is caring, laid back, encouraging, strength-based and compassionate. I believe the best therapy is client-focused, and regardless of modality, a safe and trusting client-therapist relationship is absolutely fundamental.

Are you a mom who is worried about your child or teen? Are you looking for support because you feel out of answers and things seem to be on a downward spiral? Do you wish there was a safe, confidential place, separate from you, where your child or teen could decompress and learn to express their thoughts and feelings?

Effective April 22nd, I am welcoming new clients! With over 19 years experience, I work collaboratively with teens and pre-teens (9-18), adults, and families to find hope and regain balance. Perhaps you've suffered great loss or you're wanting more from your relationships. Maybe you're dealing with anxiety or you're re-evaluating your life and are on the brink of a major transition. Or you're worried about your teen and the direction they're headed. A lot of us get weighed down by one thing after another. Whatever it is, if you're feeling unsure or unsettled and you're seeking a greater sense of ease, allow me to support you.

We all have lived experiences that tell us a story of who we are. A story of who we may be to ourselves, who we are to our family, how we are able to show up in our personal relationships, and our ability to connect with our children. Sometimes the burden of our experiences creates a story that no longer serves us. One that blocks us from the joy and fulfilment we long for, and instead creates deep feelings of pain, fear, shame, and loneliness. I believe that emotions heal when they are witnessed and validated, and new meanings to old experiences can be transformed and ever changing.

Online and in-person sessions are still available. Over 10 years of experience providing mental health, pychotherapy and wellness support. If you are experiencing challenges in your relationship, issues related to family dynamics, postpartum depression, parental anxiety, struggling with stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, phobia, addiction, identity issues, PTSD, and lack of self-esteem, then you are in good hands. If you are struggling with negative emotions, feeling resentful, disconnected and stuck we can help.

Hello and welcome. No matter your reason for being here, I applaud you for prioritizing your mental health and seeking positive change in your life!

I am a strong believer in evidence-based practice, as well as a therapeutic relationship that is founded on collaboration, genuineness, and respect.

Thank you for being here and welcome! I get it and can appreciate how overwhelming the process is to find a good therapist today. I have been working in community mental health for over 10 years. My approach is collaborative, meeting folks where they are at in whatever stage of their life journey. I have experience working with a wide range of mental health and life challenges, from anxiety and depression to PTSD/ developmental trauma to stressful life transitions and relationship challenges.

I am a firm believer that shame disappears and healing occurs when our stories are told in safe spaces. Therapy can be a safe and compassionate space where we can get curious about places where you may be feeling stuck and overwhelmed in life. In this collaborative process, you can begin to gain more clarity and understand your unique experiences on a deeper level. You will learn practical skills, tools, and healthy communication strategies to have the courage for navigating life's challenges feeling more resilient and empowered. Above all, you will feel seen, heard, understood and valued.

Therapy can be the beginning of a journey towards positive change which can be both worthwhile and challenging - but you won't be alone on the journey. I'm a Registered Social Worker with 10 years of experience helping men, women, and families work through trauma, challenges, mental illness, and life's hardships. I specialize in working with men on, low self-esteem, career challenges, difficult relationship dynamics, adapting to fatherhood, anxiety, depression, emotional maturity, and trauma recovery.

As an empathetic and non-judgmental therapist, I provide a safe and compassionate space where you can explore your experiences, thoughts, and emotions. Drawing from my own lived experience with mental health concerns and neurodivergence, I can empathize with the challenges you may be facing in seeking help, and I am here to support you on your journey toward healing. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship based on trust, respect, and collaboration.

Welcome! At some point, you may have experienced stress, felt anxious, overwhelmed, sad, or depressed. No one is immune to these common, human conditions. Sometimes, we can work such emotions out on our own by changing our lifestyles, reading books, taking classes, or through talking with friends and family members. Other times, we notice patterns that we haven’t been able to change on our own, or issues start to overwhelm us and negatively affect our lives, relationships, and work. I hope to create a warm and supportive environment where my clients are encouraged to seek positive change and growth.

Feeling disconnected from yourself and others, overwhelmed or shut down? Life is beautiful and full of heartbreak and stress. Break ups, life stress, difficult family dynamics and more, can change how we feel and function. Trauma is a human experience that we have all faced. If left unhealed, we may get triggered in our daily lives and feel out of alignment with ourselves. This could manifest as: anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, reactiveness, avoidance, and/or unhealthy relationship patterns that can prevent us from thriving. We are capable of healing, and sometimes we need support to get started.

Are you often in situations that feel like the spotlight is on you: your body gets heavy, your mind goes blank, and a sense of panic takes complete control? Having to perform can lead to feelings of anxiety or self-doubt. Whether you’re an athlete, performing on stage or in front of the camera, in the boardroom, or in front of your classmates/peers – these moments can feel like all eyes are on you, and that can be terrifying. A traumatic performance experience can replay in your mind, and can even impact the rest of your life. With support, you can begin to regain trust in yourself and move forward with renewed confidence.

I believe that seeking support amidst life's challenges is one of the bravest forms of self-care. As a Registered Social Worker with a background in Human Kinetics, Social Work, Sports, and Education. I am passionate about working through both our mind and body experiences. During our time together, your well-being and mental strength are my main priority. I understand that working with individuals in a therapeutic way is a privilege, and I am grateful to offer you the attention and care you deserve. You can achieve your highest potential while calming your mind along the way.

I have a profound passion for helping athletes from 10 years + to overcome barriers such as performance and pressure anxieties, depressive moods, self-esteem and self-confidence as well as helping men experiencing anxiety and depression. I, too, have struggled with these barriers as a young athlete and realized the challenges and mind-altering beliefs about myself and my potential later in adolescence. Through my years of coaching, I have witnessed athletes of all ages struggle in similar ways. My goal has always been to support individuals who hold themselves back from their possibilities and bring awareness to men's mental health.

I hold a Masters of Science Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counselling and am a Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying) with the College of Psychotherapists of Ontario.

We can all go through challenges in life that leave us feeling confused, hurt, or unsure of how to move forward. When we work to discover and heal from old ways of thinking and feeling, in both mind and body, we can free ourselves from the unhelpful ties to the past and focus on a future that is of our creation. While providing a safe and compassionate space, my approach is creative, open, and flexible. I understand that just as painful experiences are unique for each person, so is their healing process.
