Therapists in L2S

Life is nothing short of amazing. It's amazing how much we can go through and live to tell about it. It's amazing how fast kids grow up and time flies, how angry a co-worker can make you, how much compassion we can seem to have for others when we struggle to offer any to ourselves. It's amazing how much we put on our plates when all we need is to rest. It's amazing how much we can long for understanding and connection and how much opportunity can be missed right in front of our eyes. It's amazing how short life is. It's also amazing how much we can learn in the time we have, and how little steps can amount to such massive change.

Taking New Clients! I am a Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying) with experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns from depression, anxiety, phobias, and relationship issues. If you are feeling stuck, have negative thoughts, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, grief, trauma, interpersonal challenges or re-defining yourself in an unsatisfactory relationship I work through a holistic and culturally sensitive therapy approach to aid in reaching your desired goals.

The children and adolescents I work with present with a variety of mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, or self-harming behaviours. They might be struggling to manage their emotions and behaviours and may want assistance in achieving their therapeutic goals. I also support parents who want to learn ways in which they can best support their child during these difficult times. The parents I work with often struggle to manage their child's outbursts or meltdowns. I help them be more in tune with their child's emotions and provide strategies that help facilitate a secure attachment.

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.

I have vacancy to supervise a few counsellors/ therapists. My style is to follow your individual style and provide suggestions to fit your treatment methodology of choice. I believe supervision can effectively support continuous professional growth whether a new or already seasoned therapist.

I know you want to feel empowered on the path to recovery. In order to do that, you need coping skills to manage your everyday life. I help people who feel stuck in some areas of their lives. There are many different ways that we can get stuck. Maybe it is a behaviour that you are having a hard time changing. Maybe it is an emotional state you can't get rid of. Or perhaps you have relationship difficulties that won't go away even though you've tried everything.
