"I am passionate about mental health and wellness. I have witnessed the freedom, growth, and empowerment that therapy can provide, and it is a joy to foster an environment where meaningful change can take place. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. I hold an MA in Counselling and Spirituality with a specialization in couple and family therapy, and a BA in Psychology. I am a member of the OACCPP. I am supervised by a Clinical Psychologist, which allows my services to be covered by most insurance companies."

"The reason I became a therapist was to help others lessen the time they spend in emotional pain, discomfort, and/or uncertainty. I have spent many years working in the corporate world only to feel compelled to help others overcome problems that were preventing them from living life the way they wanted. I went on to complete my Masters in Counselling. My thesis focused on early childhood messages and their influences in adult decision making and was nominated for a Gold medal. It is a topic I continue to research and evolve today."

"I am a registered Social Worker with over 9 years of experience in various fields of practice from early childhood, to special needs and social work. I work from a psychodynamic, attachment theory perspective and I consider the need for connectedness, closeness and meaningfulness at the centre of my approach. I have experience working with individuals, couples and families who are experiencing breakdown in communication, anger, grief, anxiety, depression and trauma. I also have extensive experience working with domestic violence and individuals involved in the criminal justice system."

"I am a clinical social worker with over 10 years of experience working with individuals dealing with chronic illness and who have recently had traumatic accidents. I provide psychotherapy services to address issues such as coping with traumatic events, stress, anxiety, depression, adjustment to life changes, chronic pain issues, caregiver stress, and sleep disturbances."

"Taking the first step to seeking help for emotional difficulties or learning problems can be an intimidating undertaking and I commend your interest and resolve in looking for a psychologist. I am a registered Clinical Psychologist with an office in Oakville, Ontario who provides psychological interventions, psychoeducational assessments and mental health assessments for children, adolescents, adults and families."

"Do you struggle with finding clear direction and the way forward due to major changes in your life? Do you face anxiety, depression, or difficulty accepting and valuing who you really are? The therapy I practice is focused on helping adults to gain a true sense of themselves as individuals, to value and accept themselves, and to let this deeper sense of identity be the compass that guides us through our life journey. I'm empathic, experienced and an extremely good listener. My therapy approach combines deep insight with practical approaches for living out who you really are, without apology."

"I offer psychological assessment and therapy services to individuals and couples with varying degrees of distress, from individuals who are wanting to improve a generally well-functioning life to those who are experiencing significant symptoms of depression, anxiety, or trauma. Many of the couples I help seek treatment after struggling for years with communication problems and growing distance. For other couples, their relationship is on the brink of ending. I work with clients to identify and achieve their goals, from immediate symptom relief to lasting personal and relational change and growth, all within a safe and collaborative therapeutic relationship."

"Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, sad or disconnected? Are you struggling with relationships, past difficulties or trauma, or with coping with something new? With individuals and couples, I offer support when it becomes too difficult to manage alone. Take this opportunity to explore/share emotions, heal traumas, find compassion for yourself and others, as well as develop new coping strategies. For couples, I will guide you in heartfelt conversations to build and reconnect. Discover how you can experience a life and relationships based on your own strengths, choices and values."

"I am registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario as a Psychological Associate with a practice in Clinical and Counselling Psychology. With over 20 years of experience providing psychological services, I work with children and adults whose lives have been affected by traumatic experiences, parent-child attachment difficulties, emotional injuries, mental health conditions, and learning disabilities. My practice extends to children, adolescents, adults, and families. I enjoy this work and it is an honour to meet and work with the people who come to me."

"I am a Registered clinical Social Worker providing counselling and psychotherapy for a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, anxiety, and grief and loss. I use a variety of treatment modalities, including EMDR, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP), Narrative Therapy and Creative Strategies. I have a client-centered approach, firmly believing that all people with whom I have the privilege to collaborate have skills and strengths for growth and change. If you choose to do counselling with me, I will work with you in the unique place that you are at, responding to your emotional, cognitive, physical, spiritual and relational needs from a holistic framework."

"Personal, family, and work-related problems are a normal part of the human struggle. Sometimes however, problems get too overwhelming and difficult to handle alone. This is the time to call me and explore effective ways to solve these problems. I will listen and help you navigate your way out of this state of being stuck and foster a sense of self-confidence and self-mastery. You will gain insight, understanding and resilience to cope more effectively in the future...AND feel more self confident and optimistic."

"I love my job, especially the satisfaction I get from helping people identify their goals and life directions, create a path to get there and take the first steps on that path towards a more joyful and satisfying life."

"My aim is to create a warm and supportive environment where clients are enabled to seek positive change and growth. My practice is rooted in the fundamental principles of adaptability, by giving clients the necessary tools to navigate their unique challenges while framing treatment planning with cultural sensitivity, religious values and an awareness of individual needs."

"Welcome and thank you for visiting my profile. I am currently not accepting new clients at this time. Please check back in a few months. My hope is that through our work together you feel empowered to understand, strengthen and repair your relationships with self and/or other, even when it does't seem possible. I work from a collaborative and client centered stance; facilitating individuals, couples and families towards a greater understanding of their emotional responses and needs. As we become aware of ourselves and our needs, we have a better sense of where to make changes."

"Anxiety, Depression, Illness, Chronic Pain; these are all very real issues that many people struggle with each and every day. Finding the right therapist to work with can seem overwhelming. However finding the therapist that is right for you is integral to your healing. I provide a confidential, client-centered, warm and accepting environment where we can explore the issues you find are an obstacle to feeling well. My hope is that through our work together you will begin to identify and understand these issues, allowing us to work collaboratively towards achieving your goals and wellness."

"What I find most enriching in my profession is the connection I create with people. I am grateful to be working with a diverse population. I strive to help individuals, couples and families traverse through transitions in life in the smoothest way possible through observation, guidance and concrete tools. I work with a variety of issues from individual (self-esteem, stressful life events, separation, anxiety, depression, substance abuse and anger), to coupe issues (conflict, separation and divorce) and family issues (family conflict, behavioral concerns, parental coaching and mental health support for children and adolescents.)"

"I have been practicing in the field of psychology for more than a decade. I have worked in a variety of settings with diverse populations, ranging from mental health centres to longer term tertiary care settings and also private practice. I am competent to work with adolescents and adults where the psychological services provided include psychological assessment (i.e. cognitive and personality), psychoeducational assessment, return to work evaluation as well as psychotherapy treatment. I provide both time limited therapy such as brief solution focused therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy and longer term psychodynamic treatment."
