Humanistic Therapists in Uxbridge, ON

In my practice, I strive to provide a safe and supportive environment in which my clients can work toward their goals. I employ evidence-based methods, meaning that I integrate current research findings with my clinical expertise to determine the most effective course of therapy. While my theoretical orientation is largely cognitive-behavioral (CBT), I also draw on solution-focussed, experiential, and humanistic approaches. My main areas of expertise include depression, anxiety problems, stress management, and anger management.

I provide a peaceful and holistic approach to counselling and coaching, to help achieve balance and wellness. Individuals have the option of outdoor sessions – which include experiential mindful movement, present moment awareness training and breath work. Nature is known to reduce anger, fear, stress, and unpleasant feelings. I facilitate person-centric exploration with ease, allowing individuals to discover their inner strength and move forward in life. As a Registered Social Worker, Registered Yoga Teacher, and Mindset Coach my passion is to create a safe space to help individuals on their journey back to wellness.

Wondering if therapy is for you? Have you been feeling stuck, anxious and overwhelmed? Worrying about the future constantly and not knowing how to manage these feelings can be so exhausting. Have you been thinking about reaching out, but find yourself battling between getting support and feeling you can do it on your own? This can be frustrating and even a little scary, especially if it's is affecting your relationships your self confidence, or even your job.

Life can be hard sometimes. Maybe you’re feeling sad, stuck or overwhelmed right now. Often when we’re struggling it can be hard to reach out for help or talk about it with family or friends, especially if we’re met with comments like “just get over it” or “why can’t you move on?” In therapy, I will not make those statements, and will listen without judgment, so that we can explore what’s going on in your life and how you’re feeling about it. With compassion, I will support you to consider what might be holding you back or keeping you feeling stuck, and with this awareness comes the opportunity to experiment with new possibilities.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and I am completing the practicum portion of my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology degree. I help individuals with addictions, stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, boundary setting, and people-pleasing. I pull aspects from various treatment approaches including cognitive behavioural therapy, solution focused brief therapy, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, and harm reduction, to help meet you where you are in the therapy process.

You might be finding yourself amidst some of life’s biggest stressors, such as loss, transitions, illness, trauma, and emotional stress. For many people, these issues can make them feel stuck, lost and like giving up. I care deeply for the wellbeing of my clients and I work to provide my clients with an open, accepting space where they can be with someone who is carrying their pain alongside them. I also offer supervision and consultation for therapists and students.
