Couples Counselling Therapists in H9W

“The key to joy is not happiness but the courage to embody your true self.” – Dr. Shefali Tsabary. Have you been suffering emotionally? Have you been feeling unworthy or not feeling connected in your relationships or to yourself? Are you ready to start your healing journey towards living an authentic, joyful, and peaceful life? I can help. I am a licensed psychologist and I work with individuals and couples who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, chronic illness, grief, and relationship problems of all types.

Are you are tired of struggling and want to start living? Are you stuck in addictive behaviours or repeating the same self-defeating patterns? Do your relationships feel out of control? Is your home a place of love and comfort or a war zone? Do you worry endlessly? Do you "have everything" but still feel unhappy? If your answer is "yes", I might be the right guide for you to provide you with tools for growth and coaching on rescuing failing relationships. For 20+years I have been helping adults, teens,couples and families find pathways to more satisfying lives.

If you are on this site, chances are that life's challenges have made you feel like you have no way out. Perhaps you are feeling anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed by situations at home or at work. Change begins with understanding and support. You have already begun your journey by searching this site and I encourage you take the next step. Together we can help you feel more hopeful and fulfilled.

Do you feel as if life is a constant struggle, like you are afraid and worried all the time, as if life is easy for everyone but you? Are you struggling with relationships, having problems at work, and feeling like your friends and family do not understand? I can help you to make meaningful changes towards a happier, healthier life. With more than a decade of counseling experience, I have helped clients who struggled with anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, phobias, depression, relationship issues, self esteem issues, parenting issues, and feelings of disappointment in their life or themselves.

Whether it's a new baby, the loss of a loved one, a betrayal, tension in relationships, or a recent relocation... sometimes we lose our footing. You may find that your usual coping tools are no longer bringing you the same relief. Unlike blogs and books that offer one-size-fits-all advice, or unlike your friends and family who mean well, but are too emotionally-invested to give you clear guidance, I offer you effective tools, unique to your needs and situation, in a non-judgmental and safe space. I’m a bilingual (English & French) somatic psychotherapist and Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in Quebec, Colorado and California.

I want to help you live a more meaningful life where you can feel comfortable being yourself. Healthy, fulfilling and authentic relationships with ourselves & others are the key to wellbeing. Change is possible when we are willing and feel safe enough to explore ourselves, our relationships & the patterns that arise in those interactions. Using a warm, collaborative, strength-based, culturally sensitive & trauma sensitive approach, I aim to help you develop an increased understanding of yourself & deepen a sense of connection in your most meaningful relationships.

I hold a Masters in Counselling Psychology. I am a registered psychotherapist in Ontario and Québec working in private counselling, with Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) and Workman's Compensation in French and English. My psychotherapeutic approach is eclectic. I offer the benefits of solution-oriented hypnotherapy to reduce stress, manage chronic pain, relieve sleep disorders and modify compulsive behaviours (smoking, phobia and compulsive eating and drinking, etc.). My work is highly influenced by humanist and behavioural psychology and by Transactional Analysis.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better? Happier? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers and their lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. We believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live a better life.

Over the years as a helping professional I realized that people care less about clever language and elaborate techniques and more about receiving sincere love and compassion, living hope and courage, honest feedback, and new perspectives. What proved to help is having the mutual trust to explore and work on intimate, sometimes painful topics, step-by-step. Together, we invite your strengths and natural wisdom to take the steering wheel of your life, letting go of the grasp of your fears and limiting self-beliefs. Together, we also help you chose and create new habits towards a better ways of being.
