Cancer Therapists in King City, ON

My main therapy model is cognitive-behaviour therapy, which means I help clients to change their ways of thinking and how they engage their lives, in order to help clients to achieve their personal life goals. I also work from a motivational interviewing/counselling framework for people who are seeking to make important life decisions or who need help with making change or improving their health behaviours. I work with patients with problems with anxiety, depression, relationships, problems making life decisions, sexual functioning problems, and coping with chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer, diabetes, HIV, and pain.

I understand what it feels like to be judged, shamed, live in pain and fear. These are invisible wounds that can be overcome and healed. And you don’t have to do it all by yourself…….Life also has possibilities of hope, grace, peace, happiness and forgiveness. Give yourself the gift of experiencing these possibilities.

Compassionate and effective trauma, anxiety, PTSD, and loss therapy. I work with adults who have survived a trauma and/or loss and want to move forward.

My clients struggle with shame and guilt on a daily basis. Moreover, somewhere between two to six months of treatment, my clients feel more fulfilled and more in-control of their symptoms.
