Divorce Therapists in Bowmanville, ON

Life can have its ups and downs and may feel overwhelming at times. I believe that learning how to manage challenges as they happen, with support and guidance, can bring you to a more balanced and enjoyable life. I provide a supportive, non-judgemental and safe space, meeting you where you are, with the focus of developing greater self-awareness, understanding of your emotions, improving your relationships with others and yourself and learning some skills to help you manage those overwhelming times. When you are ready to reach out, I am here to listen and support you to achieve your goals.

My education and clinical experience has focused on helping clients in late childhood, adolescence, and adulthood overcome various mental health concerns. I use an evidence-based approach in helping clients tackle anxiety, depression, academic stress, self-esteem struggles, body-image, relationship difficulties, family problems, divorce, emotional regulation, attachment disruptions, and adjusting to life transitions. I am particularly passionate about early intervention: I believe that helping young people lead healthy and productive childhoods is the first step to eliminating mental health issues in adulthood.

I know that it is hard to reach out for help. Most people feel like they should be able to handle life's challenges on their own. We are an intensely social species, however, and rely on others every day for our survival. Reaching out for help to a therapist during a challenging time in your life is the smart thing to do. Get the help and support you need to get through life's many challenges, whether you are struggling with anxiety or depression, going through a divorce or separation, or worrying about your children.

Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, relationship problems, or body image difficulties, a culturally-safe and anti-oppressive therapist can help you heal, while always keeping in mind the impact of existing in multiple worlds, holding multiple identities, and living in a world that doesn't always accept you. A holistic, whole person, approach to therapy honours the connection between mind, body, spirit, and community. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to bring all parts of you to therapy without fear of being misunderstood or judged? It can be tough to find a therapist who really gets it.

I work with couples, adults, teens and children to support diverse needs including strengthening relationships, conflict resolution, connection, emotional regulation, anxiety, depression and much more. I want to say thank you for considering me to be a part of your journey it is a privilege and honour.

New client availability Mid/Late May. Let me help you to see what is inside. This is sometimes called “inner work”. It is getting to know yourself at a much deeper level. It is seeing what is difficult and sometimes uncomfortable to see. The benefit however, is that increased self-awareness leaves you with more options. And when you are able to connect more deeply and authentically with yourself, this connection also becomes available in relationship to others. One of the primary tasks of inner work is to confront inner pain (ie. anxiety, depression, guilt, hurt, trauma, grief...) and to find what is needed for resolution.

Taking this first step isn't easy, so I’d like to thank you for your bravery on wanting to show up for yourself today. Together, we will work together in supporting and processing your struggles that may surround anxiety, depression, grief/loss, trauma, postpartum, and any other areas that you'd like support with. My goal is to provide an empathetic, compassionate, and non-judgemental Safe Place while using approaches tailored to your needs for self-discovery and aim to navigate through some of your current challenges and to better understand your life story. No matter what, you will always feel heard and validated.

My counselling style is collaborative, and I strive to walk alongside my clients on their growth and healing journeys. Using a strengths-based approach, I support and empower clients as they move through their mental and emotional health struggles and work towards their counselling goals.

Accepting new clients! Inspired by my own transformative therapy journey, I am passionate about guiding others through their own self-development. Through my previous work with children and families, I saw the impact of the family dynamic and how much it affects us as children but also how much it influences our adult life. I specialize in addressing emotional distress and anxieties caused by past experiences, relationship dynamics, and attachment patterns. My goal is to work with you to help you heal, grow, and thrive in your life and meaningful relationships. Together, we will navigate the path to self-awareness and discovery.

Reaching out for support should be easy, but it isn’t always. Together, we can collaborate to help you move towards your goals. I focus on working from a framework of diversity, equity, and inclusion; accepting my clients where they are at in life. Using an approach that creates a warm, validating, and relational therapeutic environment is vital to my work.

When we’re caught in the struggle we can feel hopeless. We may notice things that use to help aren’t helping. We may have lost motivation to try, as a result of this. It’s common to get caught in the suggestions of others, or online searching for something that may help. We may not know where to start but know, we don’t want to keep feeling/thinking/living as is. Therapy services can help us find a starting point, then develop a plan and act on making change, all while supported by a regulated professional in the field.
