I believe everyone has a compelling narrative for where they are now, at this moment. Hence, my commitment to creating a safe, collaborative environment in which you can evaluate your needs and take the steps needed to see desired change and outcome. Working from a client-centred perspective allows us to build on your strength and support you to make meaning of your situation. I firmly believe that good relationships are the product of conscious personal investments in our lives and our significant others. By focusing on meaningful connections, we are empowered to give and receive love and compassion.

Our strengths-based, creativity-focused group clinic specializes in working with children, adolescents, adults and families. We are experienced in working with children and adolescents who are dealing with challenges including anxiety, depression, self-harm, aggression/behaviour management, oppositional defiance, coping skills, social skills, ADHD, Autism-Spectrum (ASD), and Asperger's, as well as parent training. Additionally, we offer counselling to adults for a variety of life challenges including relationship/communication issues, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma (including survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault), grief, coping, self-acceptance, self-care, and anger management. **See website for Clinician bios incl. Counselling Intern**

Within my practice I welcome adolescents, adults, couples and groups. My therapeutic approach is tailored to the specific needs of my clients, as opposed to a prescriptive pre-determined formula. I work with people with varied backgrounds and life experiences. Each client; be they a family, a couple or an individual is treated with respect and viewed as unique. My approach is positive, collaborative, compassionate and non-judgmental, and is aimed at supporting clients to explore, understand and to move towards different more desirable outcomes.

It takes courage to begin therapy, and yet it is also your first step towards bringing about the change you desire. It takes belief in self that you are capable of becoming the person you want to be. I work with you to provide a safe, supportive environment that is based on trust that allows you to realize your own potential for growth beyond the difficulties you face. I have witnessed countless times clients who have shown how much they can overcome. Together we apply a mindfulness therapeutic approach, grounded in efficacy-based techniques from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Positive Therapy and other.

Want to better cope with challenges related to anxiety, depression, or mood? We can empower you to overcome them, in English or French, by helping you to understand the challenge that you are facing, explore it, and better cope with it. We believe there is a way of living and of being, for each person, that promotes well being and minimizes distress. We are committed to empowering you to achieve this and live a better quality of life.

*ONLINE COUNSELLING for ONTARIO RESIDENTS. Your recent loss might leave you feeling depressed, guilty, or frightened. The loss of your work or career can have you feeling humiliated, worthless, helpless. Adults who have lost a loved one experience these emotions and more. Other losses too; alienation or estrangement from family or friends can leave you alone, discouraged and rejected. Work disruption & job loss can have you questioning your value and rob you of purpose and meaning. Anxiety, stress, and depression are common and can keep you from enjoying your life. They can also be outcomes of grief, loss, or job loss.

My experience with people facing mental health challenges is both personal and professional. The challenges can be fueled by our internal predisposition or by the circumstances life puts us in. With a holistic and non-judgmental approach that addresses both your mental and social experiences in the world we can rebuild A LIFE YOU WANT TO LIVE and BE PRESENT FOR EACH DAY. In session, we will gain insight about what keeps you feeling hopeless and worthless. We will identify the emotions that make you feel stuck and teach you how to break free from that frozen state.

Suffering is a part of life. It is something we all have in common, yet can feel so alone and isolated in. It can present in many ways, whether it been through depression, anxiety, anger, and it can impact many areas of our lives such as activities of daily living, our ability to function socially and cognitively, and our adaptability to stress. For some, being resilient in the face of struggle comes naturally whereas for others, this is something we must actively work towards. Through the therapeutic process, I strive to help you to uncover your own resiliency and inner strength to persevere in the face of struggle.

I believe that you have the ability to live your best and most fulfilling life with some support and guidance. Mental health is one of the most feared topics to discuss because of all the stigma and shame associated with struggling with mental and psychological wellness. My hope is that we can work together to identify, acknowledge and work through any of the struggles you are experiencing.

If you are looking for an open minded, thoughtful and empathetic therapist, it's time to give me a call. I hold a Master's degree in Social Work from University of Windsor and over 15 years experience in mental health and community services. I have experience working with diverse client’s and have a passion for helping individuals, couples and families. Please note: I offer counselling via a secure video format or in the comfort of your own home.

Currently offering remote sessions (phone and video call). Accepting new clients. When most clients come to me they don't know where to start. Things have been difficult and they haven't been able to overcome their problems alone or with their friend's advice. My clients need someone to listen, someone who knows about the fake face, someone who can help them understand "why"; and help them find a way to get healthy. I have a Masters in Counseling Psychology from OISE | UofT the University of Toronto where I learned to use research-supported methods to help clients be empowered. Clients are always the experts on themselves.

I work collaboratively with people willing to engage in self-reflection who may be experiencing depression, anxiety, loss, self-esteem issues and interpersonal conflicts. From a stance of empathy and acceptance, I invite clients to practice self-compassion and aim to empower them to become their own agents of change and live more meaningful lives.

Hello and welcome. I'm here to support you: overcome your current challenges, recover from the wounds you have sustained, heal the pain you carry. You don't have to do it alone. My clients explore a range of issues: stress, relationship challenges, depression, anxiety, anger, grief, overwhelm, & self-esteem. I work with adults healing the wounds of childhood: emotional, psychological, physical and sexual abuse, indifference, neglect, and other traumas. The healing process is a transformative one, involving an honest and open exploration of your thoughts and emotions; if you are ready to do this, we are likely a good therapeutic fit.

As an experienced child and youth therapist, I have repeatedly seen people having a hard time pinpointing and understanding what their most important struggle to face is. With a holistic approach to mental health and working collaboratively, we will define goals, plan actions, and gain meaningful insights to give your child the gift of self-regulation and happiness. By rooting ourselves in love and compassion, we can rebuild the parent-child relationship into one that is more collaborative and nurturing to benefit the entire family.

I recognize how truly challenging it can be to reach out for support. Because of this, I take great care to ensure that you feel safe, comfortable, & connected in our time together so you are able to share, heal, & grow. I work with you to help you learn more about yourself, enhance your coping strategies, manage self-harm and suicidal ideation, and deal with relationship and family challenges. I support my clients in feeling heard and understood throughout our time together and ensure that I am supporting you with what you feel is truly important.

Thinking about therapy, is enough of a reason to reach out for support. Don't wait for things to worsen! Let me work in collaboration with you to explore problems and assist you to reconnect with your preferences for life. I will create therapeutic conversations that are warm, genuine and meaningful to you. Your values, skills, abilities and existing strengths will assist you in responding to the current challenges you are facing and I can support you by making these more visible.

Therapy is a way out of feeling helpless and hopeless. As your therapist, my priority is getting you results. I focus on building a genuine, empathetic, and positive relationship with you that will bring out your strengths and move you to a better place. Whether for you or a loved one, seeking help to improve your relationships, emotional regulation, and quality of life can be daunting. It's normal to feel doubt. As a client-centered cognitive-behavioural psychotherapist, I use a non-judgemental approach that considers the influence of traumatic memories on current issues. This will shed light onto solutions you haven’t seen before.

*Weekend sessions* Finding the right therapist and committing to the process of psychotherapy isn't easy. If you’re ready to develop insight and strategies in an accepting environment, l'm ready to use humour, energy, and warmth to supplement principles from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and other methods to customize an approach. I work with adults in many stressful circumstances, and particularly enjoy working with those newly diagnosed with a mood or anxiety disorder, supporting a loved one with mental illness, or having difficulty regulating their emotions.

Managing personal wellbeing, relationships, friendships, parenthood, family, finances and career is a lot for anybody to balance. If you struggle with feelings of overwhelm, stress, anxiety, depression, guilt, grief, anger or uncertainty, you are in the right place and we can help you.

Hello There, If you're dealing with anxiety, depression and/or a traumatic experience, I may be the therapist for you! I work a lot with teens and adults who have experienced trauma and exhibit a variety of symptoms including dissociation, anxiety, panic attacks, depression and phobias. I have experience working with the LGBTQ community as well as individuals from a variety of religious backgrounds (I have an interest in world religions).
