Therapists in K2G

I work with individuals, couples and families of all cultural/spiritual backgrounds. I use an eclectic treatment approach to address anxiety, depression, anger, communication issues and relationship recovery, addictions, work/life balance, self-esteem, post-traumatic stress, career and many other issues. I believe that active listening is at the heart of effective therapy, and I work to help my clients find their own hidden strengths, empowering them to effectively resolve their issues. My personal life mission is to assist my clients in identifying solutions to the problems that prevent them from enjoying their lives to the fullest extent possible.

I specialize in intensive couple therapy to create safe, and secure-functioning relationships. I explore attachment styles (developed early in life) so that couples understand why they say and do the things they do. With my guidance, couples define mutually-shared agreements that will provide a framework for operating as a team. And with this shared vision, they can learn to successfully manage any disagreements or disappointments that life may bring. My goal is to help each couple feel they are safe and secure, in each other's care, no matter the issue. I am a Level 11 PACT therapist.

Are you feeling stuck in life? Have you worked hard and done all the right things but life has not turned out the way you had expected? Perhaps the relationship that you invested your emotional energy in was unsuccessful? Or you find yourself in a career that while financially lucrative is burning you out. Maybe you look at your life and are disappointed at where you find yourself in this stage of life. If you are unhappy in your relationships, career or life direction, you are not alone. You do not have to stay in a place that makes you unhappy. Change is possible!

Are you worried about your child or adolescent? Is your child struggling to connect with peers, bullying others, or being bullied? Is your adolescent having difficulty managing his or her mood or anxiety? Are you having difficulty connecting as a family? Counselling can help to alleviate the pain and discomfort of these difficult experiences, while supporting you and your family to thoughtfully move forward by helping each member feel heard, understood, and connected once again.

Are you feeling stuck in your life and not sure what steps to take? Do you ever feel overwhelmed and anxious by every day issues? Feeling like you have no where to turn to deal with your challenges? Working together I can support you in finding the right path for you, step by step. In a comfortable, non judgmental environment, we will find the solutions that are meaningful to your life, and help you get where you want to be. I believe that even the smallest changes can have a great impact on mental health and quality of life.

Sometimes we are faced with challenges that can make it hard to live the life we want. In these difficult periods, therapy can provide an opportunity to connect with another person, explore the problems you may be facing, and figure out a path forward that works for you. My priority is creating a safe space between me and my clients, which means I approach every person and problem with respect, compassion, and without judgement. Regardless of how you feel right now, you (yes, you!) have strengths, expertise, and valuable experiences that I’m here to help you unearth, reclaim, or explore.

Counsellor and Certified Hypnotherapist - Using kind and creative tools, I offer counselling and/or hypnotherapy for women experiencing anxiety, stress, fears, phobias, shame, guilt, loss of sense of self, grief, sadness, stressful transitions, relationship difficulties, panic, sleep disturbances and self esteem issues. After over 25 years of Counselling experience, I understand that when we are hurting, we have a deep need to feel heard and valued, while at the same time find relief and support. I am a proud member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association as well as the National Guild of Hypnotists.

The journey of life holds many unexpected turns that can often lead to feeling lost, stuck and alone. I am dedicated to providing individuals and couples a safe and supportive space where they can slow down and connect to their internal resources. I believe that with the right support, each person has the capacity to grow and heal. I encourage clients to explore how their life experiences are affecting their current circumstances, with the intention of moving toward a satisfying life with meaningful connections.

There is no need for prolonged emotional suffering. I'm available to help you work through your issues and pursue a positive outcome.

Welcome to my psychotherapy practice! I offer attachment theory-based psychotherapy. Are you tired of your childhood wounds running your life? Of knowing where your anxiety, low self-esteem, and difficulty trusting yourself and others come from, but not knowing what to do about them? Of feeling like you’ve tried everything to heal yourself and to have success in your relationships, but not seeing the results you've hoped for? In my work, I put my knowledge of attachment theory as well as my skills in SFBT, CBT, MI, and mindfulness to use in helping my clients progress in their healing of lifelong childhood wounds.

As your therapist, I want you to feel comfortable coming to session as you are. Every part of you is accepted here, even the parts that are in pain, the parts that are sad, and the parts you haven't spoken to in a while. All of you is welcome. This judgement-free space is yours to come as your authentic self, as we work to create the changes in your life that you want to see.

Accepting NEW Clients – Do you want to work through past experiences, present day stressors, low self-esteem, anxiety, and low moods? Are you tired of the cycle of feeling not 'good enough' or people pleasing? Do you want to learn more about ADHD or managing it? Do you always feel exhausted and drained but aren't sure why? Do you feel resistant to self-compassion or want to learn how to practice it? Have lingering trauma affecting your life or relationships? We'll work together at a pace that feels good to you and shape a path forward that reconnects you with yourself and your goals.

Life can be tough and our inner struggles can become overwhelming. Navigating the depths of our own distress may be a daunting task. Luckily, we don't have to be alone. I provide therapy to adolescents, adults, seniors and couples from all backgrounds, in an environment that is open, safe and judgement-free. I have experience working with a range of issues: PTSD and trauma, depression/anxiety, self-esteem, substance use, relationship issues and more.

Are you struggling with people-pleasing? Does it feel hard or even impossible to set boundaries? Often when we experience these challenges we tend to also struggle with self-esteem, anxiety, and perfectionism. We might feel burnt out or dissatisfied, and it can be difficult to imagine things could be different. When we fall into people-pleasing patterns we often focus on what we feel is expected of us, leading to disconnection from our own wants, needs, and aspirations.
