Therapists in H3Z

NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Are you "Too Sensitive"? Psychotherapy and consultation for Highly Sensitive People (HSP) and Gifted adults. High Sensitivity (HS) is a naturally occurring temperamental trait in 15-20% of the population. It is also a typical characteristic of gifted adults and children. In conjunction with Introversion, intuition, creativity and giftedness, heightened sensitivity creates unique life experiences and predictable stresses. Understanding, validating and managing sensitivity can reduce anxiety and depression, increase self-esteem, and moderate relationship difficulties, burnout and perfectionism.

Nice to meet you! What is my approach? I aim to provide a collaborative, non-judgmental, open and warm atmosphere for all my clients while adapting my approach to each individual’s unique needs.

I specialize in treating adults and adolescents (16+) struggling with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, relationships, addictions, sexuality and chronic illness. My clients tell me that therapy works best for them when we take the time to develop a trusting professional relationship in which it becomes possible for us to understand and explore more deeply the inner conflicts, feelings, patterns and obstacles that are causing pain and holding them back. I offer a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space. My clinical approach draws primarily from psychoanalytic psychotherapy, but I also integrate research and training in CBT, mindfulness and family systems theory.

I assist individuals who are struggling in different ways, although my specialty is in treating anxiety disorders and personality disorders. I usually take on the referrals that other therapists shy away from or consider too difficult to treat. My work with anxiety disorders is guided by best practice guidelines and draws mostly on cognitive behavioral techniques, including prolonged exposure using longer sessions. When working with individuals presenting with a personality disorder, my approach is eclectic, drawing mostly on psychodynamic, schema, and cognitive behavioral models.

We, as human beings, all face difficult times during our lives. These phases can leave us feeling out of control and isolated. The simple act of choosing change in your life can help you to feel empowered and on a path to a greater sense of well-being.

Using those techniques that best suit your particular needs and styles, we will effectively create a New Therapy tailored specifically for you.

With every day comes new challenges, and with them, opportunities for growth. Taking the time to prioritize yourself during difficult times is essential in attaining new heights.

All of us have, at times, struggled to live our lives in a way that feels fulfilling. We can become stuck in a cycle of negative thinking, dreary feelings, and ineffectual behaviours.

I am a psychologist with twenty years of experience counselling individuals, leading groups, and supervising therapists-in-training. I have successfully treated a variety of needs and find meaning in working with grief and loss, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

I'm a licensed psychotherapist and clinical social worker with 20 years of experience. I provide a supportive, respectful, and non-judgmental space where you can express whatever thoughts and feelings you're experiencing. Some of the issues I can help you deal with include anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem, past trauma, and relationship difficulties. These can be related to current situations, or to past ones that continue to cause pain and get in the way of your happiness. Together we can explore what's behind the difficulties you're facing and come up with ways to resolve them.

I believe that times of hardship and difficulty can often provide opportunities for personal growth by leading one to take stock of one’s priorities, values, perceptions, relationships and environments; to replace dysfunctional coping strategies with more effective ones; to reevaluate and explore one’s goals; to discover what gives one’s life greater meaning and satisfaction, and to uncover one’s strengths and capacities. As a clinical psychologist (Ph.D) with extensive experience and training, I am dedicated to helping my clients realize their goals and explore opportunities for personal growth.

Are you suffering from depression, anxiety or low self-esteem? I use a cognitive behavioural approach to help my clients learn new skills to better manage problematic thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. I will provide you with a warm and supportive environment and use a collaborative and goal directed approach. I have had the privilege of witnessing dramatic transformations using this short-term approach among clients seeking help for depression, anxiety disorders, low self-esteem, and help managing stress.

Please take note that I work exclusively online via video conference. In my practice, I offer short- and long-term counselling and psychotherapy to adults in the areas of anxiety, depression, anger management, relationship issues, personality disorders, workplace stress, change management, life transitions, grief, substance abuse and post-traumatic reactions. I do not, however, work with judicated clients, the courts or governmental agencies.

Whether it is anxiety, stress, depression, interpersonal relationships, self-esteem, or work challenges, navigating through it all may seem like a never-ending battle. I believe in creating a safe space, void of any judgment, where one can feel supported while overcoming struggles. I also advocate for social justice, and understand the impact of intergenerational, situational, and developmental trauma on interpersonal relationships as well as social dynamics. I believe individuals should feel heard and respected for who they are as well as what they have experienced.
