Therapists in L4Z

With close to 20 years of clinical experience working with children, adolescents and families, I recognize that every one of us are unique and hold the potential for transformation and healing. I believe in resilience, an indefinable quality that knocks people down by life’s traumatic incidents and helps rebound back stronger than ever. From my clinical experience, I realize the key for healing and transformation is at the heart of the therapeutic relationship. The major gain of working with me is, I help you to see things from a positive lens, enabling you to make your own decisions to solve a problem.

In today’s society, we are experiencing many challenges which can often be overwhelming and stressful. I offer support for a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I am a registered Social Worker with more than 15 years of experience in the field working with adolescents, adults and elders.

We all feel stressed, anxious, worried and helpless at time. You need to know that you are not alone, and that you can make a positive difference in your life. I have been providing psychotherapy for over fifteen years empowering clients to improve their life, feel more positive, and enjoy what life has to offer. So whether you are anxious, depressed, struggling with settling into a new environment, or simply need someone to listen, I believe that you are capable of making a change, and reaching out to a therapist is where it all begins.

With over 12 years of experience - I offer individual, couples/marriage and family therapy. Through understanding, I offer an authentic and warm environment for support and compassion. I believe it is very important to foster a safe space for both acceptance and change, therefore, integrating your worldview is a vital part of the process. I work from a client-centered, strength based perspective by listening attentively to fully understand your issue, so that through collaboration we can identify solutions in a way that is empowering.

I believe that each individual has the capacity for growth through self-awareness and acceptance. I have supported individuals to recognize their optimal potential, develop and maintain healthy meaningful relationships, while making choices that are in the interest of oneself and others. I help my clients free themselves from disabling assumptions and attitudes so they can live fuller lives. As a trauma-informed therapist, I aim to create a warm, non-judgmental environment to facilitate growth and change.

As a Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years experience, I provide a caring and compassionate approach. At the same time, my work is shaped by sound scientific findings. In essence, I offer a service that uniquely blends science with a warm personable approach. Extensive experience and expertise in working with adults, adolescents, children and families allows me to appreciate each individual's concerns, collaboratively work out therapeutic goals so that the person can lead a more fulfilling life. Progress is tracked and shared with each individual client using "before" and "after" result measures. Comprehensive psycho-educational assessments are also provided.

Feeling anxious, betrayed and broken trying to figure out your external and internal environment, every step seems overwhelming. I got you! And your GOALS. Goals that do not let us sleep, and then lack of sleep that does not let us work towards those goals. I know you want to take charge but are being surprised by your brain chemistry on a daily basis, trust me its not you. Are you finding comfort in relatable memes, avoiding social interaction, missing your social life and spiralling into a vortex of negative self doubt? Let's change the narrative here by educating ourselves and aiming to have more self awareness and acceptance.

Amid joy and excitement, life is often filled with unexpected challenges. My goal is to help you navigate such challenges through a nonjudgmental and culturally sensitive approach. It is my belief that clients must be empathized with, rather than pathologized. I will be there to listen and support you, regardless of what your unique story entails. I take great interest in helping clients navigate anxiety, relationship challenges, depression, and low self-esteem and am comfortable working with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

You are stronger than you think. I believe that each person has unique strengths and abilities to conquer the challenges life throws their way. Together, we can collaboratively build on these resiliencies to better overcome your challenges and reach a level of optimal well-being. I recognize that everyone has a story, and I am committed to creating a safe, inclusive, warm, and non-judgemental space for you to feel comfortable sharing yours. My goal is to support and empower you in facilitating positive change through self-discovery and inner healing.

When we lose the sight of our true self, a wide-range of psychological problems arise (depression, anxiety, addiction, etc). As the result of big or small traumas in our lives, our true self becomes less vocal and more obscured, hiding itself fearfully beneath our insecurities. We become alienated from it and engage in behaviours (e.g., addiction) that further divert us from finding that self. Fortunately, our lives can be enriched with meaning, courage, resiliency , purpose, and happiness through the process of self-understanding which can be achieved in a good psychotherapy.

****ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS****Our methodology to therapy includes being fully present and attuned with clients to assist with the stressful demands that life presents. Through the facilitation of growth and change, while utilizing and generating inner resources, self-compassion, and resiliency, we present a safe, non-judgemental and supportive therapeutic environment for individuals, couples and families who are seeking to explore and overcome any obstacles that may prevent one from enjoying life more fully. We take an eclectic approach and utilize different theories to assist the different situations and goals presented by clients.

When I think about therapy, I imagine my client’s search for well-being and healing as if they were lost and trying to find their way home. You might know where home is, but find yourself stuck in darkness, not being able to find your way. As your therapist, I see myself holding the flashlight. You are the one who knows your way to healing, and I have the tools to help get you there easier. This is what I believe therapy looks like; us walking together on your journey. As we travel together to help you find “home”—your place of healing, peace, and comfort—while I share my knowledge and tools to help you find that “home”.
