***STILL OPEN FOR IN-PERSON GUELPH/MISSISSAUGA*** I believe that there is good in every person, and hope in every situation. I have helped hundreds of individuals, couples, and families heal, grow, and connect. As a relational therapist, I appreciate the impact that our relationships have on our well-being. I do not see clients as having something wrong with their minds that necessarily needs to be fixed. Rather, I see my clients as unique individuals, each with their own stories and perspectives, embedded in important relationships and contexts that impact them. I see strengths and I see hope, even when it feels like there is none.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the CRPO. I obtained a Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the United States. My integrated psychotherapy approach for individual adults/teenagers, couples, and families combines relational, emotion-focused, attachment informed, trauma informed, and somatic elements. This comprehensive approach emphasizes the importance of your relationship with yourself and others, encourages emotional exploration, considers attachment histories, acknowledges trauma's impact, and fosters trust and positive self-esteem. It aims to promote individual/relational healing, inside and out.

Healing is a journey that should be nurturing, safe, and empowering. Oftentimes, you may feel helpless, hopeless, and stuck in a place where you cannot escape from.

Therapy will allow you to navigate, understand and provide clarity that leads to peace of mind and optimal living.

I believe that every client is unique, and I always strive to tailor my approach to meet each individual's experience, goals, and needs.

Hi there! My name is Krystle, thanks for stopping by. In therapy we often talk about life experiences, how it shapes who we are, and guides the journey we are on. Sometimes in our journeys we are faced with stressors, maybe feeling uncertain about our future, or feeling lost in our thoughts. Sometimes our journey leads us to self-discovery, and new ways of doing things. Perhaps by accepting the uncertainty of tomorrow. Whether you are looking for support to manage anxiety, overwhelming thoughts/emotions, help with school/work, or maybe daily life pressures. Feeling connected and understood is what most of us are searching for.

“The purpose of psychotherapy is to set people free”. My goal is to help you resolve and change troublesome thoughts, beliefs and behaviors. If you decide to start therapy with me, I will strive to create a safe, confidential and non-judgmental environment for your full and free expression. I will skillfully and collaboratively direct our work so that you can reach the goals you've set for yourself, and reclaim your resilience, strength and hope.
