Therapists in Sharbot Lake, ON

We all have a unique journey that adds value to who we are and how we can contribute every day. My personal journey took me down some challenging paths that required me to find new hope and build from the ground up. I feel that the hardships, challenges and triumphs I have endured can inspire and bring hope to others. I believe that through the toughest times of our lives, there is always a silver lining.

Not Accepting New Clients Until May 2024. Need a therapist that can understand your identity, beliefs, culture or the lived experience that makes it that much more challenging to deal with your mental health? Being a person of colour, a person of faith, a first-generation professional, a single-parent, a step-parent or an intersectionality of multiple identities can make it difficult to address issues of anxiety and depression with someone who's never been in your shoes. You want your therapy session to address your mental health issue, but you want the therapist to have a good grasp of the context in which these issues arise.

Welcome! As your therapist, I am committed to supporting you in understanding your needs to make positive changes in your life through identifying space for growth and healing, insight, practical tools and empowering you to reconnect with your strengths. Together, we will achieve this by creating a path aligned with your values and principles. I am a trauma-informed practitioner and therefore resonate with modalities crucial for processing, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Internal Family systems, & Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (incorporating polyvagal theory & mindfulness).

My aim is to provide you with a safe and non-judgemental space to share your life story and work collaboratively to discover or rediscover your values and meaning in life.

Accepting New Clients! Welcome. If you're here, life might be hard right now. It might have been this way for a long time. What you're feeling makes sense. It might be challenging to feel like yourself. Perhaps who you truly are is yet to be discovered. To genuinely feel connected and to understand who we are, we need to understand how our past and present contexts shape the way we respond to difficulties. Sometimes, these protective measures no longer serve us. Perhaps it's time for a change so that we can move forward in healthy ways and toward empowering relationships.
