Therapists in Cambridge, ON

I have worked with a variety of clients over the years. I have had much success in treating anxiety, depression, stress, school performance, life satisfaction, stress related to gender and sexuality, and parenting. While it is always ideal for a client to walk in the door ready to make changes I also enjoy supporting individuals in getting to that point. Someone who is willing to collaborate and create a space, therapeutic relationship and set of goals together with me will usually see success on some level. I practice from a strength based model.

As humans, we are presented with barriers in both our personal and interpersonal lives; similar to you and the circumstances that have brought you here, sometimes, we require the assistance of another. Seeking support demonstrates the courage and strength it takes to explore and confront your challenges. My first priority is providing a safe, comfortable, non-judgemental, and empathetic environment built on trust. True genuineness, respect, and a sense of compassion are grounded in my therapeutic style. I am an eclectic therapist who employs an integrative approach allowing for a variety of modalities to be utilized based on need, comfort, and what works for you.

There are valid reasons behind your behaviour and emotions. We function best in an environment where we feel safe, loved and valued and can develop healthy relationships and a positive sense of self. We can then better explore life from a position of mental and emotional well-being. Perhaps this has not been your experience. Trauma and distress can affect your feelings and behaviour. The hurt may have left you feeling unsafe, devalued and negative towards yourself. You may struggle with poor coping options that have caused harm and suffering to yourself and those around you. You might be finding it difficult to navigate life.

With over 30 years of providing psychotherapy services, I can help you get to the core of your issues. I have a down to earth, informal style of communicating and am told I am easy to open up to. Over my career I have worked with all genders, sexual orientations, and people from a variety of religious, racial and cultural backgrounds.

I have evening and weekend availability with a fully virtual practice. Is day-to-day life feeling difficult? Are you feeling lost or ‘off’? Perhaps you’re here because you’re experiencing feelings of inadequacy or struggling in your relationships. Maybe you’ve been feeling stressed, anxious or depressed. If you're feeling like you just know it has to be possible to feel better than you currently are, you’re in the right place. All of these experiences (and more!) can be reasons for seeking support from a therapist like me. Often, our struggles in life can make us feel alone, so I make sure to provide a warm, supportive environment.

Imagine more peace and joy in your life; returning to the you before everything felt so hard. My clients are brave, brilliant women with beautiful hearts. Many are sensitive mothers or helpers or both. Our sessions are a time for you to feel seen, validated and give yourself the kindness you give to others. Tears and laughter are welcome. Whether it's help for anxiety, boundary setting, grieving a loss, dealing with parenting challenges, relationship difficulties or workplace stress and burnout I'm here for you. I offer virtual 1:1 and in person therapy sessions in Kitchener (on Mondays) and walking therapy along the Grand River.

As my client/s you are an individual, couple, or family who want(s) to work collaboratively towards broadly defined health and wellness goals (such as emotional and interpersonal wellness) aimed at supporting a sustained improved quality of life in all aspects. Your goals may be short-term, crisis-generated (with an eye toward resolution), or aimed at sustained long-term improvements in relationships, self-regard, life management, cessation of self-destructive behaviours or self-destructive self-talk. My ideal client is simply someone who wants to improve the quality of their life in a way that is meaningful to them.

Would you like to understand your attachment “blueprint”? Do you feel anxious in relationships and want to increase calm, joy and trust? Do you have a pattern of people-pleasing, overworking and feeling burnt out? If so, let's explore the attachment patterns and past experiences which shape how you think, feel and act. We can then develop cognitive and body-based strategies help to build a foundation of self-trust and "home" in your body when facing intense feelings, emotions and thoughts. This, in combination with setting boundaries, communicating assertively and increasing self-compassion, can help you to meet your own needs.

It can be difficult to live in the world with a sense of peace in yourself. Many have suffered adverse life experiences that get in the way of connecting to the world and the full life we are seeking. We all feel stuck sometimes, doubt ourselves, and worry things will never get better. I have 18 years experience working with clients struggling with a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, childhood neglect and abandonment, addictions, ADHD and people in recovery from psychosis. I also have experience working with the Indigenous population, youth and seniors. I offer a strength and evidence-based approach.

Managing overwhelming responsibilities and expectations of life can be hard, even with good intentions and our best efforts. If you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, exhausted or like something just has to change, maybe it’s time to pause and take a closer look. At Nobis Counselling and Therapy Services, there is space to slow down and reflect, to make sense of what brought you here and how to move through these moments meaningfully so that you can reconnect what with matters to you. We aim to help you to get to know yourself, to understand experiences and patterns in your life and to navigate your thoughts and emotions.
