Therapists in Sarnia, ON

I have over 25 years of expertise working in the field of mental health and addiction. For 16 years I worked at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) as a therapist and education specialist. I understand that dealing with difficult emotions and making changes can feel overwhelming at times. My passion is to help individuals learn lifelong skills that will allow them to navigate challenging situations, better understand and strengthen their mental health, and increase their resiliency and ability to thrive in their daily life.

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.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed in your close relationships? Maybe you are noticing resentment or stress re-surfacing in arguments with your partner or you find yourself feeling guilt or shame after interacting with your parents or other loved ones. Navigating these feelings in our closest relationships can be intimidating and stressful. In every relationship, we crave emotional closeness… and we seek it out even if it harms us in some ways or feels unhealthy. Family, relationships, marriages… they are hard work. I am here to support you to find your own voice, and to find ways to make these relationships have a healthier impact.

Are you having difficulty letting go of distressing memories, do you hold lots of negative beliefs about yourself and about the world, do you often feel sadness, anxiety, depression, and fear? Have you experienced trauma and feel that you "can't get past it"? Would you like to let go of the pain of these memories and feel better about yourself and others? For those in a partnership are you struggling with relationship challenges and seeking stronger emotional connection? Would you like to stop fighting over the same things and stop feeling hopeless in your relationship?

Many times we find ourselves "stuck in a rut" not knowing how to address our challenges. It looks like we are separated from our goals and we are not sure how to move forward. Seeing a psychotherapist is like the process of crossing the bridge to freedom from "here" to "where you want/need to be". In my practice, I use a holistic treatment approach consisting of: psychotherapy , lifestyle management strategies (sleep, nutrition, physical exercise), building support and at client's request spiritual/ faith-based practice(s).

Anxiety-Panic-Overwhelmed-Chronic Stress-Ruminating Thoughts: these experiences can make you feel helpless and alone. I am passionate about helping people to understand how anxiety/mood issues operate and how to begin to heal. Having provided counselling for over 12 years, my priority is to provide a space that is welcoming and safe so that you feel able to explore your concerns and challenges. I strive to understand you for the unique person that you are. I believe all humans are experts in their own lives and that the therapeutic process can allow movement towards better balance, well being, and overall health.

Know all the theories, master all the techniques, but as you touch a human soul, be just another human soul. -C.G Jung. I have letters after my name, degrees on my wall, and years of experience; but, more importantly than any of that, I am a compassionate human-being, who will not judge and can provide you with a safe place for growth and healing. I have more than 20 years experience working with individuals and families dealing with a variety of life struggles. I hold both a Bachelor's and Master's of Social Work. I use several therapeutic modalities during therapy sessions, tailoring my approach to meet my client’s unique needs.

I may be a good fit if you are looking for support with difficult emotions and traumas, couples counselling, anxiety, depression, burnout, living with grief, or would like to know more about EMDR and Brainspotting therapies. My personality can be described as gentle and inquisitive. I’m good at explaining things, listening to complex stories, and helping to address tough topics in a trauma-informed way.

Previous experience in supporting humans of all types who are struggling with mental health, trauma, human trafficking, domestic violence, substance use & addiction, managing emotions, relationships, lack of coping skills, decision making, negative views of self, and adapting to life changes. I understand that being a human is hard, and that our life experiences can change how we think, behave, see ourselves, and lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms. I will work alongside you to explore your life circumstances, goals and the possibilities of change, through an eclectic mix of approaches.

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.

Using a compassionate and trauma-informed approach, my focus is to support individuals of all ages as they navigate through various life challenges both past and present as well as goal setting for their future. I have experience in supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, substance use, negative views of self, relationship and family dysfunction, as well as survivors of sexual assault, gender based and domestic violence, and human trafficking.

Please check junk mail for responses* I currently work with individuals, couples and kids ages 9 and up work through presenting concerns such as relational, conflict, mental health, communication and problem solving among others. I work closely with clients to honour and validate their goals for therapy and work collaboratively to create a treatment plan that works towards the clients unique goals. I work to ensure my clients feel heard and validated. I work to treat every client with equality and respect. I always honour that the client is the expert of their own life and or relationship.

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.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed or like your thoughts and feelings have taken over control? These can be very distressing and can impact your life and overall well being. I believe that therapy/ counselling can help us tune into our experiences and provide insight that fosters healing and growth. My background is in community mental health and I offer a supportive collaborative space to be heard, work through difficult emotions and explore new perspectives and possibilities. I draw upon clinical modalities learned through my social work training including cognitive, narrative and solution-focused therapies.

Life stages and transitions bring with them many joys, challenges and uncertainties. Mental, emotional and spiritual obstacles often leave us stuck or prevent us from fully realizing the joy and peace we desire in life. Are you familiar with feelings of despair, hopelessness, anxiety, confusion and self-doubt among others? Do your children or adolescents struggle in this way? Are you experiencing a difficult time moving forward? My objective in therapy is to validate your experience as an individual, couple or family. Through practical learnings and education, I will work alongside you to provide hope and help toward healing.

Currently accepting new clients! My priority is providing a safe space for you to begin your empowering journey towards healing. I work collaboratively with individuals to explore their presenting concerns and determine goals for therapy, while ensuring autonomy and choice. My approach to counselling is trauma-informed and client centered to meet the unique needs of every individual.
