Therapists in Thunder Bay, ON

Finding the right counsellor can be difficult- it can be hard to find someone you naturally click with. I pride myself on being the same person in-office as you would meet on the street. I value authenticity and am very much a “what you see is what you get” kind of person. I am more than willing to be a compassionate ear, but I am most interested in equipping you with the skills you need so that you no longer need to rely on therapy to get through. My goal is to help you become as self-sufficient as possible by exploring CBT and DBT-based skills to help you address emotional distress, life transitions, or relationship struggles.

Accepting NEW clients! - Do you wish you “felt better?” or wish to feel more like yourself again? Does stress, anxiety, ADHD, or trauma have you feeling stuck? Do you want to better understand how your past effects your present? Are you wanting to reconnect in your relationship? I'll support you in reaching therapy goals by helping create more self-awareness and confidence, teaching coping methods, and paving the path to long-term change. My aim is to create a space to explore your thoughts and experiences without the outside judgment and bias in your day-to-day.

Change is a difficult and humbling process. Being patient, kind, and forgiving of ourselves is not usually something we learned as children. Talk therapy is not advice or guidance: it's learning to hear your own decision-making processes, noticing feelings and what needs your trying to meet, discovering your value systems, and moving forward with small deliberate changes. Together in session we will tailor the work we do to suit your specific concerns. Researching therapists, going to therapy, looking at our least helpful patterns, or deliberating on whether to stay or leave a difficult situation takes courage. I congratulate you.

Accepting NEW Clients! - Are you hoping to feel less "stuck," anxious, or sad? Is there a part of you hoping to reconnect with yourself and build confidence, build better boundaries, or understand how your childhood impacts your present? Do you want to learn coping strategies or skills for daily life or ADHD? Have you experienced a loss that you're looking to work through, or find stress is too present in your day? Do you sometimes just need someone to create a neutral space for you to tell your story?
