Lesbian Therapists in Alliston, ON

Are you looking for help to decrease stress and increase calm? Are thoughts keeping you up at night? Have you experienced Trauma in workplace or personal catastrophic events? Near or anticipated death, a chronic health issue? I am a seasoned trauma counselor that can help you to understand your physical, emotional and thought changes that come with exposure to these events. I use a variety of therapeutic methods: cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment (CBT and ACT), Clinical Hypnotherapy, somatic awareness, and Mindfulness, where focused attention of present thoughts and feelings leads to behavioral changes. Hope.

Hello and welcome! Making the decision to reach out for help can be challenging and often taking the first step can be the hardest part. Do you find yourself worrying a lot or feeling anxious? Maybe you have gone through a significant life change and you do not feel comfortable with your current situation. Or, perhaps you have realized that you are surviving life and you are not really present and thriving. If you are ready to make meaningful changes in your life, I would be honored to walk alongside you through this journey. I believe together we can create success.

I enjoy providing a safe space to explore stress, unhealthy relationships, difficult histories, make sense of things, and build a more hopeful and healthy future. Therapy is collaborative, and I'll discuss what direction you want to go in, what you want to work on, what approaches work for you, and what doesn’t.

We can only change unhelpful patterns or address symptoms of a condition, when we see them clearly. If you might be ready to ‘Dig a Little Deeper’, you've come to the right place. Whether you are working on mental health resiliency, or seeking a specific treatment, we offer a compassionate ear, safe space to unpack your story, with your values and evidenced-based strategies, to support your treatment journey. When we Dig Deeper, we make sense of the Why. It's not just about managing triggers - it's about having fewer triggers.

I see people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, addictions, adjustment to change in their lives, relationship or family conflict, or the residual pain left from difficult childhoods or painful life events. My way of working as a therapist is to get to know you: your hopes, your talents, your problems and your unique way of thinking and expressing yourself. We then proceed with treatment based on who you are and what you need. The aim is to allow coping with your weaknesses to help you uncover your strengths, and your way forward.

Are you ready to make some changes in your life? Whether you have been stuck in patterns that no longer work for you, or are in a place where you are unsure of how to change them, therapy is a wonderful tool to untangle from the life we don't want and move towards the life we do. Whether we are struggling with relationship problems, destructive patterns, life crisis, thought and mood disturbances, lethargy, or lack of fullfillment in life, therapy always offers a platform for change and inner healing. The journey inward can powerfully affect change in our life.

Welcome to Therapy Heals! I have witnessed the positive impact that a non-judgmental, safe, and comfortable space can have for clients of all ages and life stages. I hold the belief that clients feeling they are listened to and empowered are key components within the change process; I have a very warm and empathetic approach to ensure this is felt by all clients. For the past 5+ years, I have been supporting children (5+), teens, caregivers (of children ages 0-18), and families; building upon their strengths to create the change that they wish to experience in their lives.

I believe that each person’s story and reason for accessing therapy is unique to them, and so my approach is to meet you where you are. I work with children, youth, and adults and have 10 years of experience supporting people to achieve their goals. I have worked extensively with children, and adults. I believe that successful therapy starts with a strong therapeutic relationship between myself and my client and I am honoured that you would consider inviting me to support you. I will provide a non-judgemental experience, focusing on the goals you wish to attain.
