Green Shield Canada Therapists in L6H

I am on the side of you that is working towards what is best for you. Change can be hard, and it is easy to get frustrated with yourself or others when it seems like you've tried so many times. If you are looking to break free from unhelpful thoughts, have healthier relationships, or work through painful memories (including grief or shame), I'm here to support you.

I tailor sessions to each of your needs and goals, fostering growth and resilience. In our initial 20 minutes video or phone consultation, we start laying the foundation for a therapeutic alliance rooted in openness, understanding, and a non-judgmental approach.

Are you seeking support and guidance to navigate life's challenges and find a path towards healing and growth? At my practice, I extend a warm and understanding hand to individuals who are grappling with a wide spectrum of concerns, including anxiety, ADHD, chronic illness, depression, adolescent emotional and behavioral difficulties, pregnancy and postpartum mental wellness, self-injurious behavior, sleep issues, stress management, coping strategies, motor vehicle accidents, and trauma. My approach to psychotherapy is deeply rooted in compassion, acceptance, loving kindness, and mindfulness.

At times, many of us contend with emotions and suffering that are overwhelmingly painful, disheartening and difficult to bear, often as a result of unique stressors and events. I work with adults, adolescents, families and step-families using Emotionally Focused Therapy, EMDR, interpersonal psychotherapy, and DBT/CBT within neuroscience and attachment frameworks. I encouraged clients to access inner strengths and free their capacity for growth. Whether you or a family member experience depression, anxiety, marital distress or difficulties with peers, you deserve support in a confidential, accepting, safe and caring environment.

I offer therapy for those who are experiencing challenges including Anxiety, Depression, Anger, ADHD, Disordered Eating, Trauma, Grief, Substance Use, Self-Worth/Confidence, Life Transitions, and Relationship Conflict. I have assisted many individuals in improving their understanding of themselves & their relationships with others by using an approach founded in empathy, trust, and non-judgement. All of my work is rooted in a Trauma-Informed perspective & Anti-Oppressive Practice lens. I strive to respond to the unique needs of my clients, because you are the expert of your own life.

Therapy is an opportunity to solve problems, improve coping, and build a more enhanced quality of life. In therapy, my aim is to build a strong relationship with clients, one that is based on principles of trust, transparency, and collaboration. I strive to create an atmosphere that will help you to feel safe, supported, and challenged in the areas that will foster your growth.
