Therapists in Elora, ON

Among all the things we want for ourselves, perhaps happiness tops the list for most. But life may not always turn out the way we expect, and that can hurt. There may be times when we feel stuck, angry, lost, confused, unhappy, or overwhelmed. What do we do then? In such times, I like to remind myself that “Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional” (Haruki Murakami). This perspective offers us strength to move towards inner healing and positive change. Seeking therapy is brave work, and a beautiful way to practice self-love; when you truly love yourself, you value who you are and can grow towards the best version of yourself.

I work from a holistic stance that accounts for the individual, cultural, and societal factors affecting each of us uniquely, and therefore requires a personalized approach.

From the perspective of your supervisor, it may seem like you have it all figured out- you don’t present a lot of client cases, and your always present in your clinical supervision group. However, you feel a sense of uneasiness. You don’t always feel comfortable sharing how you really feel in the group. You have gotten so used to the dismissal of your clinical supervisor not taking into consideration the nuances and complexities of your clients. Your tired of the question being asked back to you when asking for support. Now is the opportunity to receive clinical supervision that can truly meet your professional needs.
