Therapists in L0P

One of the most difficult parts of feeling emotional pain and internal suffering is experiencing it alone. I believe walking alongside your journey and listening to your voice matters. A lot of us want a better understanding of self and/or require support with trauma, depression, anxiety, and/or relationships. Often, seeking support can be a challenging first step as there are unpleasant feelings, stigmas, thoughts and difficult behaviours. My goal is to provide a nonjudgmental, safe and accepting space for you explore them. I strive to help you build a stronger connection to yourself and strengthen your mental resiliency.

Life can be very challenging and we all move up and down the continuum of well-being at different points. No one should feel alone in managing and moving through these difficult times and being invited to walk alongside you on that journey is a privilege. I am a Registered Social Worker and I hold a Masters Degree in Social Work. I have been practicing for 25 years and have worked in a variety of settings including children's mental health, education, and child welfare. In addition, my experience as a clinical supervisor is enhanced by certification in Advanced Clinical Supervision with Adler Graduate Professional School.

Welcome to my page! Are you struggling with a breakup, loneliness, romantic relationship and friendship challenges, prenatal and maternal mental health, ADHD, and just burnt out? Then I would be honoured to work with you! While we work together, you can expect a warm and safe place to identify and explore all of your doubts, confusion, curiosities and triggers. Relationships can be our haven from these traumas, but they can also be the cause of our distress. Relational-based therapy can be a brilliant place to slow down and examine our patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving in the present moment.

As a trauma focused and trauma-trained therapist, I understand self-regulation, repair of attachment ruptures, understanding complex responses, returning to/or generating a quality of life, identifying true refuge, parts convalescence, and getting your feet back on the ground can be accomplished within the birthplace of safety, co-regulation, compassion, and actual understanding. Whether you require insight into why you may react or behave the way you do in certain situations or relationships, or wish to acquire skills, I’ll seek to create a healing relationship in which it is safe to do so.

I work with adults and adolescents, specializing in conflict resolution, communication skills, anxiety, panic, depression, motivation, self-esteem, emotion regulation, mood disorders (bipolar disorders), substance abuse/alcoholism, OCD, sleep issues/insomnia, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, return-to-work facilitation, and much more. Our sessions can take place in my office in Burlington or through a secure online platform you can use right in your home (with a reliable internet connection and camera/microphone-equipped device).

People seek therapy for a variety of reasons. Some are hoping to deal with a specific issue such as trauma and loss or are facing difficulty adjusting to a new role like becoming a parent or a new phase in their life.

I've had the privilege of working with diverse populations, spanning different ages, cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, and a wide range of gender identities. My approach is rooted in anti-oppressive and trauma-informed principles, dedicated to fostering a safe and inclusive therapeutic environment where you can explore and grow. Guided by a person-centred approach, I co-create attainable goals with my clients, emphasizing their unique hopes and desires. I understand the importance of helping individuals discover their innate strengths and resilience to thrive amidst life's challenges.

Conflicts in relationships are inevitable! It’s how we adapt & overcome them that makes the difference. These conflicts can be circumstantial or rooted in anxieties from the past and may not look like your typical conflict. Perhaps you find yourself experiencing the same anxious thoughts or maybe you're stuck in the same negative patterns that you can't seem to break as a couple. Interpersonal and internal conflict can leave us feeling stuck, confused, stressed, overwhelmed, or depressed. Most importantly, recognizing that fear is an emotion we all experience and discovering how fear operates for you is okay to explore.

To nurture the resilience of families experiencing a crisis, or couples struggling with unhealthy conflict, I draw upon both my clinical training and lived experience. Clients seeking to re-establish a sense of emotional well-being will value my collaborative approach. Compassion and curiosity direct my support of young adults and adolescents (15 or older) with ADHD, whose impulsivity or impaired organizational skills often also burdens them with guilt and low self-esteem. Whether a mood disorder or social anxiety is interfering with enjoying your workplace experiences, together we will develop coping strategies to help you thrive.

I am passionate about seeing individuals, couples, and families thrive where they are. Being stuck in inefficient ways of thinking can trap us. Inefficient thinking patterns can make us feel anxious, depressed, frustrated, or at a loss for how to feel better. It can impact our relationships.

My client-centred culturally competent approach can help foster relief and lead towards resolution.

An important part of healing is understanding the connection between mind and body and how it relates to experiences of anxiety, depression, and trauma. A fundamental component of recognizing your needs is to create an awareness of emotions. Our bodies signal us when there is discord, and through an experiential process, I focus on helping individuals make sense of their world. My work focuses on coping with difficult body sensations while also helping you begin to think and feel differently about your experiences, your emotions and ultimately yourself.

I provide compassionate, people-centered, and strength-based support to help people cope with anxiety, depression, childhood trauma and PTSD, stress, relationship and family issues, grief, etc.

Is life feeling overwhelming? Are you struggling to find motivation to do simple tasks, or the idea of doing ‘all the things’ just increases your stress and anxiety? Perhaps you find yourself needing to distract with substances, social media, or by binge watching your favourite TV show, only to find that these activities are not actually making you feel better in the long run. Maybe you are already wanting to explore the underlying causes of what has gotten you off track but don’t know where to start.
