"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."

"Welcome and thank you for visiting my profile. 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 doesn'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."

"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."

"Hey there fellow super woman! Have you hit your limit? Focusing on everyone else's needs at the expense of your self? Find you get agitated, anxious, or stressed about little things that didn't used to bother you? Do you even know who YOU are anymore? Enough! It's time to put YOU back on the list of priorities. It's time to admit what you know, but haven't said. This isn't the life you were meant to live and it's time you start making some 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."

"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."

"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 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 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."

"From a young age, I was always interested in the why of things. Whenever I was told that, "things could be worse", I was never satisfied and always remember thinking that there must be a better or different way of handling things. In my life, I have encountered many challenging times and tried to handle things the best I could. As a result, I decided to do my own work and in turn was inspired to help others. Today, I am fortunate enough to do the work I do and am passionate about helping others to make changes in their lives."

"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."

"I have been in practice for over 35 years with individuals, couples and families. I am also a registered marriage and family therapist. I deal with many different issues in people's lives such as life transitions, anxiety, depression, marital strife, family problems, loss, trauma. Often issues overlap with each other. The goal is to help each person or couple or family find ways to move forward and mange and /or reduce and/or eliminate the problem(s). The process is collaborative using the skills that individuals may already have."

"Clarity is my hope for each person I see, whether we use Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy, Narrative approaches, EMDR, Mindfulness, or creative arts expression. Regardless if your struggle is with depression, anxiety, an eating disorder, or trauma, clarity means a better awareness and sense of who you are. Knowing yourself allows you to make better choices, choices best for you. It can be challenging to detangle and work through all the many and conflicting messages we receive, and give ourselves, but it is crucial. This is the work I will support and guide you in."

"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."

"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.)"

"If you are reading this you probably don't feel like yourself anymore. You are missing that "spark" for life and feel embarrassed that you can't just seem to "get it together". Maybe you are not as confident as you used to be because something has changed in your life, or maybe because things have stayed the same. I get it, we all go through times that need some assistance or guidance. You are caught up in difficult thoughts and emotions that make it hard to work towards the things you value. Let's work on that together."

"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."

"As human beings we are wired for relationships so when there's a disconnect from a loved one, your place of work and/or from your true self it's not uncommon for you to feel hopeless as you attempt to differentiate between the negative mind chatter, that weakens your perspective, and your own truth."
