If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), the pressure to please people, or the exhausting pursuit of perfection, you don't have to face these struggles alone. Discovering the path to your authentic self can feel overwhelming, especially when you constantly battle with low self-esteem and feeling like you are "not enough". I am here to walk alongside you on your journey of self-discovery, where every twist and turn reveals new insights and opportunities for growth. You have already taken the courageous step of seeking help, and that alone is a testament to your strength and resiliency.

People encounter problems in their lives and come into relationship with them. Sometimes problems stay around longer than people would like - sometimes even long enough that they start to see themselves as the problem. My approach follows the narrative therapy practice of externalizing and examining problems so that we can reveal their histories, their impacts, and also the ways you have resisted their unwanted influence on your life. This approach focuses on the active role you play in pursuing the life that you want, as well as the people and things that support you in that pursuit.

In my various roles as husband, father, friend, and later-in-life diagnosed "ADHD'er", I understand the difficulties we all encounter in our lives. I enjoy engaging with adults (18+) who seek change and are motivated to explore and work with their ADHD-type brain. Achieving your preferred future and your version of success IS possible. Those feelings you may have of failure, procrastination, distance from loved ones, task prioritization issues, or having too many 'open loops' in your life CAN be managed and overcome. I welcome clients who are formally diagnosed, or self diagnosed!

Do you feel misunderstood or like you want to escape from painful memories, thoughts, and/or emotions? Do you feel stuck as though you are unable to move forward in life? Do you struggle with school, people-pleasing, relationship conflict, chronic illness, or feel emotionally disconnected? If any of this applies to you, please know that you are not alone. It is normal to feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and disappointed when life appears to be passing us by and we feel stuck or held back by our past experiences. Having a therapist who provides a trauma-informed and client centred approach is essential in these cases.

Are you struggling with obsessions causing intrusive ideas, urges, images, or thoughts that are unwanted and may cause guilt, shame or worry? Engaging in actions in order reduce the upsetting feelings or to prevent something bad from happening? Do you require family members to accommodate or participate in the compulsion? OCD can cause you to feel stuck and worrying about the "what if's". I provide Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) which has been found to have the most strong effect on the successful outcome of treatment for OCD.

Hi, my name is Elizabeth Idowu and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). My aim is to provide a safe space where my clients can feel seen and heard, as they embark on a journey towards peace, progress and healing. As a Nigerian-Canadian woman, I have both personally endured and been exposed to the struggles of others who look like me and share similar experiences. That is why I make it a priority to create and hold space for those who may struggle with their identity, and relate to experiences of feeling unheard and unseen.

Navigating loss, feeling anxious or frustrated with life, or difficulties in relationships can leave us feeling overwhelmed and unsure what to do. For most of us, we’re not familiar with how to deal with hard feelings. So we adapt as best we can, and develop strategies to cope. Sometimes these strategies begin to interfere with our lives, and may even make us feel worse. The good news is, therapy can help you with this. By being curious about your experiences, and listening intently, we can begin to learn what your needs are and find supportive ways to deal with the hard stuff, and move you towards feeling better & less alone.
