Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Therapists in Lindsay, ON

I provide psycho-educational, developmental, and diagnostic assessments for children and youth, as well as individual and family therapy. I work with children and teens experiencing mood and anxiety disorders, learning disorders, behavioral difficulties (e.g. ADHD), developmental disorders (e.g. Autism Spectrum Disorders), developmental disabilities, and family relationship difficulties. In my case conceptualization and interventions, I implement an integrated and systemic approach. I use evidence-based treatment protocols tailored to each of my client's needs, with a focus on client-centered and cognitive-behavioural approaches.

I welcome adults (18+) who experience a wide range of mental health and substance use issues. Grounded in a client-centered, recovery-oriented, and trauma-informed approach, I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to engage people in a journey of self-awareness and reflective action.

I have worked with children, youth and their families for thirteen years. In the two years, I have expanded to working with adults and couples, and have completed additional training in couples and family therapy through the University of Guelph. I have experience supporting complex mental health and wellbeing issues, and am comfortable working with clients who are, or who have, experienced trauma, complex family systems issues, and life transitions (including grief and loss).

I specialize in working with people to become better versions of themselves so they can lead more fulfilled lives. Together we can work to recognize the strengths and resilience you have within, so you can apply it to your everyday reality. ​

Currently Accepting New Clients (in-person or video) - Are you in a place where something’s not feeling right and it’s time for a change? Perhaps you want to reduce anxiety and stress. Or maybe you’re tired of being held back by feeling “not good enough.” Or you want to improve relationships with friends, loved ones, and co-workers. You might not even be able to put a finger on what’s wrong, but you’ve reached the point where you feel it’s time to reach out for help. You are not alone.

I work alongside adults looking for relief from new stressors or long-standing challenges. My specializations include psychological trauma/PTSD and addiction. I also help folks who are experiencing life transitions, abuse, or general mental health concerns. In addition to client work, I offer consultation to mental health professionals to help address their concerns and make reasoned ethical and clinical decisions in their practice.

If you're feeling disconnected, distracted, and detached from your life, it may be time to look at why. Why can't I connect, why am I not able to just "get over" my past, or why does it all feel so meaningless? Maybe there are other questions, like “what am I doing with my life” or “who do I want to be?”. It’s okay to take time that's just for you, to look at your life and see both the big picture and explore the often overlooked details. With the right support, you can feel more present, connected, and in control of your life.

NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. I want to offer my admiration to you for looking for another option in managing all that is going on in your life right now. I suspect that this was not an easy decision, but it is a decision that speaks about your commitment to yourself and possibly those who are important to you. I would like to offer you a confidential and supportive environment, where you can speak about your struggles without fear of the judgements by family, friends or others who you interact with daily. Together, we can explore new ways of coping, or refresh some skills that have been put aside in the past.

When we feel trapped in despair, hopelessness, fear, and painful thoughts and feelings, it can feel impossible to find our way out of the seeming darkness. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, substance use, self-harm, relationships or other challenges - you are not alone, and you are so worthy of receiving loving support. I am here to walk with you and provide a safe space that is yours - to share openly and be heard, seen and honoured; to explore what you genuinely need to gain relief from the pain; and to develop transformative insights and powerful tools to reclaim your holistic wellness on all levels.

Living a life where you're dealing with anxiety alongside symptoms of obsessions and compulsions can be quite scary. Navigating these experiences can become less intimidating when we gain an understanding of what we're going through and we have the support to take deliberate steps towards addressing it. There may be instances where those in your life don't fully understand what you are going through, leading you to keep your intrusive thoughts and compulsive urges to yourself. It's important to know that you're not alone, as these symptoms are more common than you might realize.

Are you struggling right now? Are you feeling stuck? Are you feeling anxious? Are you grieving? Is it hard for you to reach out for help? Are you being heard or seen? Do you have supports in place? I am here to provide you a listening ear and support you by helping you set your goals and help you find coping strategies. The word 'therapy' can cause fear. We can work collaboratively to find what works best for you. My interventions will help you connect with your body and mind which will in turn help with your thoughts, feelings and body sensations.

Do you find yourself missing out on things because of anxiety and self-doubt? In today’s world of social media, comparison, and 24/7 news updates it’s understandable that as humans we’re feeling more overwhelmed, doubtful and on-edge than ever. Our brains are designed to keep us safe, not happy, and therefore, it’s understandable that anxiety gets the best of us sometimes! With the proper knowledge and tools, we can learn to better understand our anxious brain and develop a healthier relationship with anxiety and worry that will allow us to live a full and meaningful life.
