Therapists in Whitby, ON

I am a Master Level Training Counsellor at New Roots Therapy. I strive to foster a space that is uniquely your own that places importance on exploring who you are, what you are encountering, and where you want to proceed in your next steps. My approach promotes a space that allows you to be your authentic self, where you can evolve into everything you are capable of becoming. While honouring your expertise in your life, I foster a humanistic, person-centered approach and encourage a collaborative process where you feel supported, respected, and understood.

Reaching out for help takes a lot of courage, so we appreciate you being here.  Life can be very difficult and suffering is a part of our human experience, but you don't have to go through it alone. We are neuro-biologically designed for connection. We need it to survive. Our intention as therapists at Seasons is to provide you with a safe space, grounded in acceptance, compassion, and connection, to share your story. Together we will travel through it with curiosity and non-judgement to find the awareness that you need to build a better relationship with yourself. We are trauma-informed and respectful of your uniqueness.

Are you experiencing grief from loss of a loved one, ending of a relationship or medical diagnosis? Struggling with the demands of life? Feeling overwhelmed? Mixed emotions as a competitive athlete, parent, caregiver? Let me help you! My calm approach will keep you at the centre of therapy sessions as we work together to resolve your issue. Let me help you regain your sense of self using a humanistic approach.

I offer services to teens, adults, and couples seeking support for anxiety, OCD, trauma, ADHD, depression, relational challenges, questions around identity and sexuality, and more. I practice from a trauma-informed and person-centered approach, which means our sessions are centered around you. I offer an informal style to therapy because lets be real, formal can be intimidating. Together we will create an environment where you feel comfort in having those uncomfortable conversations. Our sessions will offer you a space to tell your story and for it to be heard.

We often encounter many challenges that cause feelings of worry, hopelessness, and burnout, making it feel impossible to keep up with daily life. Anxiety and uncertainty become a norm, causing us to feel overwhelmed and often alone. We begin to push our needs aside, failing to make time for ourselves and disconnecting from those we love. We wonder what it would feel like if things were different. What if things were better? I believe you have the power to create this change and work towards a better life.

As someone who passionately believes that everybody lives life in their own unique way, I am dedicated to creating a warm, non-judgemental, and honest environment for my clients. I specialize in guiding individuals, adolescents, and families through various life transitions, helping them navigate the challenges that come with change and emerge stronger. My therapeutic approach is rooted in creating a safe space and a strong alliance; meeting my clients where they are and working collaboratively to define goals and explore how we can achieve them.

My work as a clinician is grounded in the belief that people DESERVE therapy which means that YOU deserve a space to feel seen and heard and YOU deserve a space to process your past/current/future experiences with a non-biased professional. I offer you a modern, individualized and HUMAN approach to therapy where we work collaboratively to explore limiting beliefs, unhelpful thought/emotion & behavioral patterns and process life's challenges AND wins together so that you can stop living for the next best thing and start living for today. I am here to help you do the work necessary to feel unstuck, hopeful and in control again.

Is your child going through a difficult time, having trouble expressing feelings and/or communicating with others? Are they struggling with overwhelm, anxiety or difficulty regulating their emotions? I offer sessions to support your child in different ways: developmentally, emotions awareness and expression and increasing coping skills. The way your child perceives themselves and the world can make all the difference! We use creativity and talk therapy to explore and process thoughts and feelings, and together discover effective coping skills for daily support. It is not necessary to know how to play an instrument to participate.

Accepting new clients. Do you feel like your anxiety stops you from living your life? Like self critical thoughts are always running through your mind and your brain won't "shut off"? Or maybe you've been through trauma that keeps affecting you in the present? I support teens and adults to help you have more confidence, feel more in charge of your own life and finally feel hopeful about your future again. My work is rooted in compassion and together we can equip you with the tools to cope with life's challenges, understand yourself better, and go from surviving to thriving to create the life that you deserve.

Are you or your teen feeling overwhelmed, nervous, afraid, angry or unsettled? Feeling like the black sheep? Battling with anxiety and focusing, or finding it difficult to get along with people? Are you self medicating and struggling to figure out your direction in life? Do you need to break free from the past traumas and labels you might have been given? Need help exploring sexual orientation and gender identity? Contact me to get the help that you or your teen need. We will work on building a true sense of self and identifying and practicing the coping skills that help you build an authentic life that is calmer and more centered.

We all feel lost sometimes or face life challenges and relationships that can feel overwhelming. Life is tough, but I believe we all have the ability to overcome hardships. Together, we can explore your concerns and past traumas, working towards lasting change that helps you progress toward the person and future you desire and deserve. I believe in a collaborative approach that empowers and motivates you during the therapeutic process. It's important to me to not only understand and address your concerns throughout therapy, but also to remind you of your strengths and capacity to contribute to goal setting and problem solving.

Problems are inevitable and normal in life, some can be small and some bigger than one can handle. At that time an extra set of hands surely help. I can be that extra set of hands to pick you up when you are down by listening to you without judging, guiding you to get back to the rhythm of life, and cheering you from side lines, using some time tested techniques that have helped many to overcome trauma, depression, anxiety, anger issues, addictions and grief, to name a few. I have helped many people in my 25 years of professional life in USA and Canada. I invite you to join me to explore your unending possibilities in life.

Life brings a series of changes and transitions as well as impactful moments that at times we may feel define our lives. It is within our nature for our minds and bodies to respond to a variety of life stressors and traumatic incidents. I work with children, adolescents, individuals, and families who have faced trauma, anxiety, difficulties with changes, amongst other difficulties stemming from transitions and trauma. I support my clients through embarking on a healing process where conditioned thoughts and behaviours rooted in survival and trauma are unlearned and released through an integrative approach.
