Therapists in Kanata, ON

The impacts of trauma rewire the brain and nervous system to experience the world as a threatening place. This adaptation alters how we relate to ourselves and others, and it leads us away from authentic identity. Trauma, whether big or small, includes events like past childhood abuse, emotional neglect, violence, grief, rejection, chronic pain and illness, to name a few. You may become stressed, anxious, experience intrusive thoughts, fear, and rage. You may feel alone, easily triggered, trapped, and like there’s a void within—like you just can’t be yourself again. Yet, you have no clue that it all stems from unprocessed trauma.

Are you exhausted with all of what you're struggling to manage? Has your worry gotten to a point that it seems to be taking over your life? Perhaps your anger has been deemed out of control. Whether it's stress, anxiety, depression, anger, sadness, or grief, I am here to help you work through the experiences and meanings of these emotions. Most importantly, in a productive and positive way. If it's relationship trouble, family conflict, or even workplace drama, we can work together to find solutions where possible; and, coping techniques throughout.

Life can be challenging, and we commonly face difficulties in our personal lives, relationships, family, and career. These challenges can be overwhelming and make finding joy in life hard. But healing and finding peace and happiness is possible with the right support. My practice operates on the belief that we all possess the inner wisdom to guide us through life's journey. By working together, we can tap into your inner strength and knowledge to help you gain clarity, heal from past wounds, and improve your mental well-being. So, I can support you in gaining clarity to repair the past and restore peace to your present situation.

Is there something you'd like to say to someone, but you're too afraid to say it? Has Life had its way with you, turning your world upside-down? Or have different stressors accumulated over the years, leaving you feeling burdened? Whatever the problem, if there's something you'd like to change in your life, then Changes Counselling and Psychotherapy is here for you. Changes is for individuals and couples who dare to say something new, to consider the impossible, and to make new choices.

Hi There! I'm a registered social worker & psychotherapist with KB & Associates, providing psychotherapy online all across Ontario. I have 13+ years of experience supporting people in reaching their version of a balanced and happy life. I believe that the most important part of therapy is that those I meet with feel a genuine sense of care and compassion. This is why I meet clients with a very relaxed, friendly and adaptable approach. Work with clients is always trauma informed, client-centered and client-directed. Put simply, you tell me where you want to go on this journey called ‘therapy’ and I’ll work with you to get there.

I offer counselling that provides a different perspective and new ways to put tools into practice. I will work alongside you on your path of hope and healing.

I work with individuals and couples who are experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, relationship challenges, and career and workplace difficulties.
