Therapists in L4H

Hi; I have been a psychiatric RN for nearly 20 years. To truely appreciate the challenges of clients and their loved ones dealing with acute or chronic mental health conditions, I have gained immensely valuable experiences in different mental health settings both in in patient and in the community. My experience, along with the ability to connect with clients in distress, blessed me with opportunities to help many individuals and their loved ones over the years. Now as a RN psychotherapist, I hope to work with you in your journey to recovery in most complete sense. Let's walk together and take on whatever challenges lie ahead.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or flooded with immense feelings of "mom guilt"? Having a hard time ignoring intrusive thoughts or managing low mood as you try to navigate the challenges and transition into pregnancy and motherhood? Feeling this way is normal, but often leaves us feeling isolated and alone, and without the resources and support that we need.

For many, therapy is sought out because of a crisis situation. It is difficult to live with feelings of anxiety, anger and despair. These feelings can affect your marriage, family, children and work life by creating conflict. It is my hope to restore a sense of calm during this time of self discovery and support you through life's challenges. I will offer you realistic, easy to use tools and strategies that can work to repair and enhance your relationships. Learn to set boundaries, repair and recover from infidelity, manage anger and build trust in a safe and compassionate environment.

Are you feeling stuck, anxious, stressed or sad? You don't have to keep feeling this way, because therapy can help. We are a team of compassionate psychologists and therapists who are deeply invested in helping the patients we work with. We collaborate with you towards meaningful change and personal insight. Our process involves identifying the barriers that are getting in the way of your wellness and work with you to help you feel better, but also function better in your personal life, relationships, school or work life.

Working alongside my clients, my mission is to create and nurture trusting relationships so we can uncover, understand, and heal the concerns and pains that have led to difficulty and dissatisfaction in their lives. Using an integrative, emotionally-focused, client-centred approach, my goal is to ensure that each person who comes into my office is treated as an individual with a story and history as unique as their fingerprint.

Couples often find themselves facing a myriad of challenges as they navigate the intricate terrain of a relationship. Communication breakdowns stand as one of the most common hurdles, where misunderstandings and misinterpretations can erode trust and intimacy. Trust issues, stemming from past experiences or breaches of confidence, can cast long shadows over a partnership, making it challenging to fully open up to one another. Financial stresses, from managing joint finances to differing spending habits, can introduce strain into a relationship.

My Passion is to deliver a message of HOPE to people that I come across. I personally believe that Hope can light a candle in the darkest point of life. Hope is what we all need in order to have a more positive look at life in general and be empowered to make constructive changes and live with a positive attitude. With the increasing challenges in our world and the fact that we are not immune to life's surprises and shocks, our days are becoming more stressful which make us sometimes pay heavy price....

Life comes with its ups and downs, and at times it can be difficult to process and cope with our thoughts and emotions during these hardships. Together, we can work through these challenges and find strategies to help you address the root causes of these difficulties while finding ways to cope and move forward. I feel that while embarking on this journey it is important to build a positive and healthy relationship with oneself. Through increasing self-awareness and self-compassion, you can truly love yourself fully and improve your mood and mindset. "When things change inside you, things change around you."

Is anxiety getting in the way of living? Do you often wonder if your personal life should be better? Are you living in your past - unable to move forward? Do you find yourself disconnected from yourself or your partner? Do you feel safe in your family? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and unsure about how they are supposed to manage different and all demanding aspects of their day-to-day life including, their time, careers, and their families. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself might look like an easy solution at first, but long term it can create mental and physical challenges.

You may be experiencing anxiety, sticky thoughts, or compulsions that you can't resist doing. Perhaps you've experienced a trauma that has significantly impacted your life. Some people describe feeling restless, jumpy, or on edge. You may dread getting up each day. I am passionate about working with people who are living with anxiety, OCD, and trauma. I also have experience supporting folks with substance use, eating disorders, relationship issues, and borderline personality disorder. Together, we can help you feel more like yourself.
