Therapists in K2G

Beyond my credentials, I've learned keenly from each of my clients over the years, and my practice is informed by rich life experience. I work collaboratively, guiding you in revealing underlying causes and patterns that may be posing challenges in your life, in identifying and clarifying your own goals, and supporting you in carrying out strategies best suited for you to reach them. Each counselling need is unique. Always listening and with empathy, I can challenge you without threatening, and meet you where you're really at - which may not necessarily be where you assume you are.

I work with individuals, couples and families of all cultural/spiritual backgrounds. I use an eclectic treatment approach to address anxiety, depression, anger, communication issues and relationship recovery, addictions, work/life balance, self-esteem, post-traumatic stress, career and many other issues. I believe that active listening is at the heart of effective therapy, and I work to help my clients find their own hidden strengths, empowering them to effectively resolve their issues. My personal life mission is to assist my clients in identifying solutions to the problems that prevent them from enjoying their lives to the fullest extent possible.

I offer individual and couples therapy in the following specializations: • Anxiety and Depression • Interpersonal/Relationship issues • Life transitions • Goal setting • Work/Life balance • Anger Management • Domestic Violence • Family Conflict • Infidelity • Marital and Premarital • Self Esteem • Stress • Trauma and PTSD • Women's Issues

I am currently accepting new individual or couple clients for in person or virtual therapy sessions. As an individual and couple's therapist, my goal is to provide you with a comfortable environment in which you can explore your thoughts, feelings, behaviors and personal challenges. I know at times we are overwhelmed by life's challenges. This can lead to feeling lost, confused, overwhelmed, stuck or hopeless. I believe therapy is a great asset in getting you through such a difficult time and moving towards feeling better. I would be happy to be your therapist and accompany you on this new experience.

I work with both men and women who are aware of their issues, motivated towards personal, spiritual and relational growth and are willing to invest the time and effort it takes to reach their full potential. I treat couples who want the tools, transformative experiences and resources that create strong and fulfilling relationships. I work with individuals who are ready to take the next step in their self-discovery and who want to realize the fullness of who they can be at whatever age or stage of life they are at.

Burnout? It is so hard to feel happy and balanced when we’re caught in a people-pleasing merry-go-round and constant anxiety. People-pleasers who experience anxiety can often feel worthless and wonder who they can turn to. I help anxious people-pleasers struggling to manage their time and feel appreciated in their busy lives improve their relationships by finding a better appreciation for themselves. This is done by addressing past traumatic events and relationships and cultivating your strengths! Together, we can hold the space for your pain to open the door to happiness.

Are you struggling with self-esteem? Have the last couple of years taken a toll on your mental health? Perhaps your relationship or family life is less fulfilling or more conflict prone. Maybe you are feeling anxious, depressed, or unmotivated in your personal or professional life. Or you are caring a lot for others only to feel burned out, depleted and short changed. These days, the demand on our emotional resources is more intense than ever. Managing ourselves and our relationships at home and at work may feel like an uphill battle with no finish line in sight. Now is the time to take better care of yourself. Start here, with us.

Accepting new clients - no waitlist at this time. It takes a lot of courage to acknowledge our personal difficulties and ask for help in facing and overcoming problems. At Helix Psychological Services, we are a team of registered psychologists, social workers, and psychotherapists who prioritize building a warm and positive therapeutic relationship with our clients. It is important to us that our clients feel comfortable and safe exploring distressing thoughts, emotions and behaviours that may be preventing them from moving forward. Our approach is individually tailored to help our clients meet their unique needs and goals.

Are you looking to make change in your life? I use cognitive behavioural therapy, which is based on years of research and empirical evidence, to help people get to the roots of their problems and make lasting change. For some clients, I integrate mindfulness training into my approach. This involves developing self-compassion, accepting what we cannot control and living in the present moment. I strongly believe in a collaborative approach to therapy, and take a very active role in guiding my clients.
