Attachment-based Therapists in Mississauga, ON

Throughout life, we all encounter challenges - some predictable, others unexpected. These events can have both positive and negative effects, and it's not uncommon to require additional support to find the resources, skills and guidance we need to move beyond them. That's where I come in. I believe that everyone has the necessary tools needed to achieve growth and healing, even when it may seem uncomfortable or challenging. I believe that every client is unique, and I always strive to tailor my approach to meet each individual's experience, goals, and needs.

If you find yourself feeling 'he/she doesn't care about me' or 'I do so much but it's never enough', or 'I just can't get it right', then I can help. I work with couples struggling with challenges such as infidelity, emotional distance, not feeling like a priority, difficulties communicating, anger, and intimacy challenges. Perhaps conflict is more frequent and you find yourselves getting caught in the same patterns. Nothing seems to help. Often it can seem hopeless, yet it is possible to regain the love and trust you once shared.

Oh hi. You know, I can imagine that he steps leading you here today involved some tough times. I know how difficult it is finding help, especially when you’re feeling overwhelmed, emotional, scared. Maybe things are going pretty well and you’re looking to grow. Either way, I think we all deserve every chance to improve ourselves, find ourselves in the one life we've been given here. That’s what I’m trying to do too. The only way I know how. Through listening, awareness, connection, and growth. I do this with folks who might need someone to help them navigate anxiety, depression, relationship dynamics, and trauma.

When life gets complicated and overwhelming, the therapeutic process can help to get you back on track. Whether you are trying to cope with difficult relationships or you are struggling with anxiety, depression, isolation and more, you don't have to deal with these challenges on your own. I offer a trusting and supportive place where you can talk openly about your concerns, gain further understanding and insight, and find new ways of managing your circumstances more effectively. Through this process you will feel better about yourself and achieve a greater sense of joy and well being.

I strive to ensure that the space I create is welcoming, non-judgemental, safe, and supportive.  I am passionate about people, the stories they tell, and the resiliency they hold. I work with clients with various mental health concerns, identity exploration, trauma processing, and relationship conflict.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist and Canadian Certified Counsellor. I believe each person has their own distinct life experiences and qualities that call for a tailored approach to meet their individual needs. Each obstacle presents a chance for personal growth, and with guidance, you can develop greater self-awareness. With that, we work collaboratively to explore the Past and the Present to Unravel themes and patterns within your life that could operate as obstacles to help you reach your goals.

I am registered with the College of Psychologists (CPO) and all of my services include clinical supervision with CPO registered Psychologists, which inform my continued professional development. Research in the area of 'common factors' emphasizes the client-therapist relationship and factors that are unique to you and your life circumstances as important predictors for therapy success, and it informs my approach to support you in creating positive change. I meet clients non-judgmentally, and my approach is uniquely dynamic, collaborative, and solution-focused, with therapeutic presence and authenticity.

I believe everyone deserves to live a happy, healthy and meaningful life. Life can be challenging and sometimes we need a little help along the way. A strong therapeutic relationship is fundamental for growth and positive change; I am committed to working patiently with each individual to establish trust and create a safe space, where they can begin their journey to healing and an improved quality of life.

My passion lies in assisting individuals in overcoming the obstacles that impede their daily functioning and overall well-being, preventing them from reaching their full potential. I employ a collaborative therapeutic approach that actively involves both individuals and their families, fostering a sense of safety and connection within the family unit. Together, we embark on a journey towards personal growth and improved daily functioning, enabling individuals to become their best selves.

Growing up is not always easy and it can often feel overwhelming. One of the hardest parts of being a parent is seeing your child struggle. I can help you sail through the storm. I am a bilingual Registered Social Worker experienced in working with children, adolescents and families. Whether it is a problem with anxiety, low mood, self-esteem, parenting challenges, traumatic life events, issues with family transitions, adjustment to school, or peer relationships, you don't have to do it alone.

Hi there, I am pleased that we have crossed paths. Whether you have stopped by because you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, relationship issues, work-related stress, negative habits, or any other feelings or behaviours that are impacting your mental health and quality of life, my hope is that I can help you navigate through life’s challenges and to help you reach your goals. I provide a warm, non-judgmental, 2SLGBTQ+, and BIPOC safe space where people can be comfortable being their authentic selves as they share their stories.

Feeling alone in your relationship? Experiencing high levels of stress and anxiety and always feeling overwhelmed? Know that you are not alone. If your goal is to start feeling like an active participant and being an expert in your own life and if you are seeking for a safe space to talk and someone to truly listen to you, your journey towards this goal can begin now.

I provide psychotherapy to clients struggling with challenging life experiences. It can be difficult to feel understood or to cope when experiencing stress, depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflict or low self-confidence. It takes courage to reach out and ask for help, and I can provide a safe space where together we focus on skills that foster resiliency in the face of inevitable life challenges. I have more than a decade of experience working with adults (18+) dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, adjustment issues, grief, shame and guilt, interpersonal conflict, and perinatal concerns, etc.

Are you struggling in your relationships with others? Relationships are complex and could be complicated. Yet, as human beings, we need others, and when there are challenges in our relationships we suffer and struggle. We all need to be loved and cared for, yet we often push away the very people we want to be close to. Rejection or the fear of it, could be so painful and makes us withdraw, isolate or hurt back. As a result, we may feel inadequate, unlovable, unworthy, and hopeless. Deep down, we want to feel connected, and we want to feel good about ourselves, and at peace.

I work with Adolescent, Adult and Senior clients from all walks of life. Difficult and challenging life experiences can have an impact on mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing.

Do you want to explore who you really are and learn about self-compassion? Are you experiencing the loss of a loved one or a furry family member? Are you experiencing low moods or worrisome thoughts?

I welcome clients of all ages and backgrounds to work together to improve their health and wellness. I practice online or by phone to create and maintain a workspace that is accessible throughout Ontario. I am not afraid of trauma or strong emotions. My goal is to create a safe space for you to feel or process.
