Therapists in Ohsweken, ON

Reaching out for support can be a very challenging task but it is also the first step to get you closer to living your preferred life. In therapy, we will work together to clarify your life's vision, explore what is getting in the way of you reaching your goals, identify what skills and strengths you have to overcome these barriers, while also learning new skills and ways of thinking. During this process, I am committed to creating a respectful space where you will feel heard, acknowledged, supported and understood. I work with clients of all ages, backgrounds and identities and strive to create a safe and inclusive space for all.

Let's be real- life can get tough. You may be faced with challenges such as experiencing trauma or loss, navigating complex relationship or family dynamics, encountering discrimination at school or work, or overcoming financial stressors. These difficulties can be further amplified as a person of colour and being raised in an immigrant household. Naturally, hardships can evoke feelings of hopelessness, numbness, or anxiety. You may find yourself feeling stuck and unable to move forward. Or you may be relying on coping mechanisms that, while once helpful, no longer serve you, and struggling to break free from these habits.

Hello! I am currently a Master’s level (MA in Counselling Psychology) practicum student, who is qualified to practice onsite under the clinical supervision of an approved practicum supervisor with The Story Isn't Over Psychotherapy and Counselling. I also am completing my internship as a Resident Therapist, at Alli Therapy, an online therapeutic platform. In my therapeutic work with clients, I adopt a person-centered approach as the fundamental framework of my eclectic methodology.

Unfolding, experiencing and living our authentic selves is what I am passionate about. I am highly skilled in guiding clients in accessing and exploring obstacles that are results of our deeply rooted beliefs. Unquestioned beliefs or limiting thoughts that can manifest as anxiety, depression or other psycho-emotional difficulties can actually be guiding lights on our journey to our true Selves. The essence of our being remains untouched as we grow and is waiting to be found and reconnected with. When you connect on a deeper level with your Self, your purpose, gifts, and talents show in their fullness and potentials show up.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by recent or upcoming life changes? In a situation that seems difficult to cope with? Reaching out for help can be scary & is often the most difficult step to take. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space that allows you to feel heard & helps you navigate challenges related to anxiety, stress, identity, self-esteem, and belonging. My approach to therapy is eclectic, responsive to your needs, and recognizes you as a unique individual. You are the expert of your life and I'd be honoured to support you on your journey.

You’ve probably spent a lot of time trying to fix things on your own, but maybe you’ve reached a point of exhaustion. You might be feeling overwhelmed, self-critical, & alone. You don’t know what else you can do to make yourself feel better, or how to keep up with the challenges you’re facing. Maybe there are cultural & social challenges that are making your situation worse. Maybe you're tired of running around in circles & have made the decision to see a counsellor so you don’t continue to feel like you’re “going crazy”.

You deserve support to achieve your full potential, live well, reach your goals, and heal from trauma. That’s where I come in as a clinician, advocate and specialized system navigator. I can ensure you and your loved ones are getting services that will improve you quality of life immensely. Throughout twenty-years of clinical experience, I have counselled folks dealing with domestic violence, finances, depression, anxiety, addictions, coping issues, family conflict, gender and sexual identity, life transitions, parenting, relationship issues, self-esteem, stress, emotional regulation, trauma, and more.

“The good life is a process. Not a state of being. It is a direction. Not a destination.” I am a compassionate and dedicated social worker with many years of experience providing psychotherapy to diverse clients (youths, adults, seniors, and families with diverse ethnic/racial/cultural/ LGBTQ2+/ socioeconomic backgrounds). I bring experience working in clinical and community settings to address a wide range of concerns.

Life is full of challenges. We don't always have a choice what challenges we face. But we can choose how we view or overcome these challenges. I believe that we each have our own reserve of resilience waiting to be tapped into. Most of the time we have the strength to face these challenges. Sometimes we reach out to our friends and family for support and that is all we need. At other times, these challenges can overwhelm us and our system of support. We feel alone and helpless. When you are ready for change, let me support you in embracing your challenges and turn them into opportunities to learn something new about yourself.

Do you feel disconnected or overwhelmed with life? I welcome you to our shared therapeutic space, where we walk together to explore your challenges and regain a sense of safety and resilience. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, identity issues, addictions, or traumatic experiences, I hold an open, empathic, non-judgemental environment where we collaborate on the approach that matches your needs. This is your journey, and your input matters deeply to me.

Our lives are not entirely defined by what has happened to us but rather by how we choose to make sense of it and who we choose to be as a result. My vocation and commitment to supporting individuals to overcome adversity, trauma, and problems in living are rooted in the Ubuntu philosophy. Providing support across all age groups, I promote inner self-discovery and self-mastery. I offer unique individual-specific approaches to empower self-actualization by challenging unhelpful beliefs, improving self-concept, working through painful experiences, accessing resources, and changing unhealthy habits to live more authentically.

Sometimes in life we can feel stuck - stuck in the way we think, the way we feel, what we do, what we don't do. It happens to all of us because we are human, and something is calling our attention to change or shift things. This can be overwhelming, saddening, frustrating, downright unpleasant. Therapy can provide the opportunity to reflect on what we're experiencing and create new ways of being - from a place of "stuckness" we can create movement.

Accepting new clients! Our brain and body can protect us from danger, but when the pain becomes too much for us to handle, we can often feel stuck and unable to move forward. When we are struggling more than we can cope, it is easy to feel isolated, powerless, and hopeless. You don’t have to do it alone. I will hold and provide a safe space for you, and together, we will honour all parts of you and determine your unique path to healing. While healing looks different for everybody, it is my goal to assist you in embracing your true self.

I am a culturally sensitive Master's level social worker who is passionate about working with diverse populations and creating a non-judgmental space where each client feels heard, respected, and understood. I provide counselling to youth, adults, individuals, couples, and families and I have over 14 years of experience as a clinician on the frontline and in leadership teams. I understand that at times, life’s impacts bring stress, worry, frustration, and anxiety. I work to provide clients with the right support, help, and guidance so that they can cope with challenges and re-discover their path to a more fulfilling life.

What are you hoping for? What's on your mind? Life is full of challenges and changes. Life transitions can get messy, making decisions is difficult, and choosing yourself is sometimes the hardest thing you can do. I imagine if you're reading this, maybe you feel curious, or maybe scared, or stuck. I could name a million feelings and still not strike the right one, but I am here to listen as you share. Naming those feelings, and recognizing the behaviours and thoughts that keep you going back to them, is part of the process we could work on together. Therapy is not linear and it can feel puzzling. Taking the first step is never easy.
