Therapists in Innerkip, ON

At some point, we all face emotional challenges that make coping difficult. I am a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) who has treated anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues (couples, teen-parent, parent-child, etc.) and other client issues since 1999. I am well know for my no-nonsense client-focused approach which incorporates humour, teaching new skills and learning new ways of thinking and being more joyful, deliberate and present in the world.

Are you looking for something different? Do you have persistent concerns that you would like to shift without taking years to get there? I am a neurodivergent somatic experiencing therapist who offers a variety of approaches that can be absolutely life changing for anxiety, depression, trauma, misophonia, sensory sensitivities, chronic pain, brain injury, digestive issues, and more. Wonderful for those dealing with brain injuries, ADHD, autism spectrum related concerns, brain injury, autoimmune disorders, learning disabilities, long covid, auditory processing disorder, speech and language difficulties, selective mutism, etc...

If you want to speak to someone who won't judge, really listens, and can help you find your best self, I would love to hear from you. The first priority is finding a therapist you feel safe with. We begin by exploring the issues and understanding the challenges, but the real work is learning to be gentle with ourselves as we acknowledge the need for a shift and begin to implement new practices. If you have had a traumatic experience, try to seek support within 3 months to prevent PTSD and other issues from developing. EMDR can help immensely to decrease distress. There are no distance issues online. Clients from anywhere welcome.

Accepting New Clients - Are you feeling overwhelmed by past traumas, stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns, experiencing sexual concerns or consumed by anxiety? Imagine a life filled with purpose where healing is possible, relationships are more fulfilling, and anxiety no longer controls you. Together, we can navigate the complexities of trauma, relationships, sexual concerns, and anxiety, empowering you to gain confidence, inner peace, and emotional wellness. Let’s embark on your journey of healing, growth, and transformation to enhance your overall-wellbeing.

Confused, drained or ALONE in your relationship? Are you putting the needs of others before your own? Are you changing yourself (like a chameleon) in order to feel appreciated? If the other person becomes your main focus and you modify your behaviors and ignore your needs to keep the relationship going at any cost, you have codependency. Codependents are MAGNETS for entitled, narcissistic, grandiose personalities. The ensuing relationship can stumble along for a LONG time, requiring huge amounts of effort and energy to keep up until finally it falls apart. When it does, you feel betrayed and abandoned (codependent's biggest fear).

IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITY - that there is a way to think differently; to feel differently; to live differently. Within each of us, we possess the tools we need to heal & be happy. But sometimes we make unhealthy choices in order to cope with emotional &/or physical pain. Despite our best intentions we can spiral downward, negatively impacting our relationships, careers, physical health & lifestyle. I believe that with support, change can happen. I am registered with a Master of Social Work & over 30yrs of clinical experience in the areas of trauma, addictions, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, parenting, life transitions & mindfulness.

We all know life can be challenging. However, sometimes parts of it can get too challenging, and we can’t seem to resolve our issues on our own, or even with the help we're currently getting. Whether it’s depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, grief, or stress (or a combination of these), the way we’d like to live our life can seem out of our reach. This can happen to just about all of us at some point. The good news is we don’t have to struggle alone and a professional can really help change things.

Real change, healing, and growth happens from the inside out. This is a process of mutual empowerment that occurs through our genuine relationships, as we bring parts of ourselves and hidden parts of our experience into the light of a compassionate awareness. In psychotherapy we can create an authentic space of acceptance to explore life's troubles with compassion, curiosity, and courage. Together we may discover, become, heal, and grow. Whatever brings you to psychotherapy, it is with respect and gratitude that I commit to walk beside you on this path. "A journey of a thousand miles begins where one is and taking a single step."

Are you feeling overwhelmed, self-critical, having a hard time 'turning off' your thoughts or feeling like you’re 'going through the motions’? Are you just done with feeling the way you’re feeling? It's time for you to restore your confidence, rebuild a sense of holistic well-being and enjoy life again! If you're looking for a therapist, chances are you're hoping to make changes in these or other areas. I will help empower you to learn new ways of dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma & relationships. Therapy can absolutely help you make room for new ways of coping and feel better again!

Are you feeling stuck? Feeling like no matter what you do you can't seem to break habits and patterns that are affecting your personal life and relationships? I know how frustrating this can be and am here to help you to get to the root of what is making breaking those habits so difficult! I'm a dig deep therapist who helps you uncover the underlying causes and to work through them to start to truly heal. Many say they've never had a therapist who works like I do, and have come to me after years of unsuccessful attempts at change.

I am recent graduate from Yorkville University’s Master of Counselling Program, I hold a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) under the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, as well as a Registered Social Service Worker under the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Women and Gender studies. I have worked with a wide range of clients, focusing a lot of my space but not limited to folks who are battling with addiction, trauma, abuse, grief, anxiety, depression, and serious mental distress.

Welcome! Like most of us, you are likely juggling work, family and other responsibilities. My goal as a therapist is not to keep you in therapy forever, but to help you overcome obstacles that are getting in the way of being the best version of you. The clients I work with live busy lives, both personally and professional and often either grappling with addiction, or are closely linked to someone that may be struggling. My hope is to assist you in discovering and naming these challenges, process and find closure around them, while working towards your transformation to be free of shame, distress and difficult memories.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Do your thoughts keep racing from one thing to another? Do you find you are excellent at taking care of everyone else but keep neglecting yourself? I would like to help. I am passionate about helping people to move past the "shoulds" and move towards creating the kind of life they want to live. Most of the time when we are distressed we are worrying either too much about the past or the future, or are overly preoccupied by what we imagine other people are thinking about us.

My over 20 years of experience in mental health and substance use and settings informs my work. I work with people impacted by their mental health, specifically anxiety, depression, ADHD and people who hear voices. I also support people to better their understanding of substance use in their life through harm reduction. With my extensive front-line social work experience, I support front-line workers navigating grief, loss and burnout. Finally, as someone from the 2SLGBTQ community who is non-binary and queer, I can support and bring lived experiences to the topics of coming out and navigating a gender journey.

I can help you reduce unwanted reactions, tendencies and patterns and move toward living and feeling how you really want. I am passionate about helping people heal from trauma and increase calm, health habits, stability and life satisfaction. I can help with: anxiety, depression, trauma, boundaries, addiction, health goals and complex medical concerns.

I am not accepting new clients at this time. Please check back in late Spring 2024. Thank you for taking the first step and reaching out. Making change can be hard and many times we cannot do it alone. I support adults looking for support with their mental health or addiction concerns. Some key groups I support including perinatal mental health, those living with trauma, and specialize in the area of emotion dyregulation concerns, including Borderline Personality Disorder. I have a particular interest in helping other helpers, including First Responders, medical professionals, and fellow mental health workers.

Welcome! It takes courage and strength to reach out, and I am so glad that you're here. I am passionate about building a secure, and supportive relationship where you feel safe to identify and explore experiences and core beliefs that may have you feeling 'stuck' in life. I have an eclectic and engaging approach that honours you as the expert in your own life, and as such, focuses on creating an individualized treatment plan. We will utilize modalities (such as IFS and Brainspotting) that empower you to identify and achieve your healing goals, increase your self-awareness, and ultimately support you in overcoming life’s challenges.
