Therapists in Sarnia, ON

Some people are surprised to learn that trauma is all around us. Trauma can happen with physical, sexual or emotional abuse in addition to childhood neglect, racism, discrimination and oppression. People can also feel traumatized during childbirth, loss of life, career and major life changes, as well as divorce, bullying and rejection.

Life’s transitions – they can be the most exciting and the hardest thing for individuals and families to go through. Starting a new job or school year, having a baby, losing a loved one, losing a pet, divorce, dealing with the daily pressures of society can all be overwhelming to manage on your own. Has a recent change in your life been causing increased anxiety, stress, fear or depression? Is your mood affecting your self esteem, relationships, or habits? Life is full of transitions yet few of us have truly learned all the tools available to ground ourselves and feel safe and secure as we navigate through them.

Stuck - broken - powerless - disconnected. Many men come to me seeking change. Perhaps you are feeling lost, broken, stuck, hopeless, disconnected or lacking purpose. I have always been drawn to people, and over time grown deep appreciation for the value of sharing and listening intentionally. You may feel you are alone in the world, and that nobody understands you. You may question whether you are a good partner, father, or son. Even worse, you may struggle with addiction, grief, anxiety, depression, or another mental health challenge. Ready to get started?

I work with couples, families, and individuals facing various mental health concerns to find solutions that fit within their path to healing. I bring a calm, understanding presence to my work to help clients feel seen and heard in their difficulty. My hopeful curiosity sheds light on new perspectives and possibilities for clients who feel stuck in their situation. I have experience treating clients with issues of depression, anxiety, grief and loss, infidelity, relational issues, parenting, blended-family issues, life transitions, career guidance, as well as other mental and relational health issues.

Many of my clients feel lost or stuck in their lives. They often feel troubled by their relationships, work situations, unmet dreams, and transitions into different stages of life. Our culture does not offer many forums for authentic exploration of life's challenges. My work supports you in exploring the underlying causes of such feelings as anxiety, depression, fear, emptiness, despair, resentment, anger.

Everyone experiences difficult times in their life where they may struggle, feel stuck or just want someone to talk with. As an experienced and regulated health provider, I can help you navigate your thoughts and feelings, build up your strengths and resilience and learn new skills to help you realize your therapy goals and live your best possible life. I offer client-centred, evidence-based and quality services for individuals over the age of 6 years, however my areas of interest and specialization are trauma, anxiety and depression, workplace issues, women’s issues, and services for children and youth.

With over a decade of experience within the field, it is my true passion to work with adolescents, adults and families. I have a diverse background, but specialize in difficult life transitions, anxiety/mental health, trauma/PTSD, addiction and emotional regulation difficulties. I offer a trusting therapeutic, safe and confidential virtual space by phone/video to promote vulnerability which leads to interpersonal goals and growth. I practice traditional methods of therapy such as psychotherapy, DBT, CBT, ACT, solution focused, evidence based, and trauma informed care.

Know all the theories, master all the techniques, but as you touch a human soul, be just another human soul. -C.G Jung.

Life stages and transitions bring with them many joys, challenges and uncertainties.

I am currently accepting new clients and look forward to connecting with you! I come to this field, first, as a fellow human being who appreciates struggles, unknowns, and challenges. My approach to therapy is highly collaborative and interactive. It's about you, your life, your goals and how I can be a strong, skillful support to help you navigate whatever you are facing. Together, we will explore not just hopes, ideas, and dreams, but also the demons, fears, confusion and dark spaces we all wrestle with. In these spaces we peel back the layers to uncover and honour our deepest truths. There will be tears and lots of laughter too.

Accepting New Clients! We can do hard things. Sometimes we just need a little help along the way.

Are you afraid of breaking up? Do you find that the two of you can’t communicate, or hear each other anymore? Our goal at The Couples Clinic is to help couples find their way back to each other. Topics such as trust, intimacy, extended family, money and infidelity can cause huge struggles in relationships. Even when couples have been together for years, they can still have difficulty navigating these issues. Anger, mistrust, contempt and resentment can pull the two of you apart and make it that much harder to heal and build the future you both deserve.
