As a counsellor, my perspective stems from my ethnic background and where I grew up. I am a Chinese-Tibetan woman, a second-generation Indian and a first generation Canadian. If you're seeking support, please know that I'm here for you. I am committed to providing a non-judgmental, empathic, and trauma-sensitive space within my practice. Therapy is a collaborative relationship, and together, we can assess your current challenges, identify treatment goals, and build a pathway towards improving your well-being. My approach is client-focused and goal-oriented, tailored to your unique needs and preferences.

Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how you are supposed to manage your relationships, career and life? Are you looking for clarity? I work with Individuals and couples who are seeking support in person and online. I believe that pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. It shouldn’t be so hard to live a better, fulfilling and meaningful life. You deserve to thrive and live the life you've always wanted!

Grief and loss: As a Certified Grief Recovery Method Specialist, I help grievers deal with the pain of emotional loss with a hands-on, practical approach that is evidence-based. Emotional challenges: are dysregulated emotions affecting your ability to function in the world in the way you would like? We can work together to regain a healthier version of you. Relationship dynamics: We all struggle with developing and maintaining healthy relationships. I can help you identify unhealthy patterns in your relationships (romantic, family, friendships, etc.) and work with you to improve your relationship skills.

At times, life can be challenging. I've learned that these lived experiences are important in therapy. Whether it is a loss of a loved one, self-esteem, body image, family conflicts or care giver burnout…I’ve been there and I can help support you with that.

As a registered practitioner, I aim to help clients relieve their symptoms, manage their ruminating thoughts, and process traumatic events. My experience consists of assisting people in battling negative thoughts and behaviours that are making life difficult to handle through various therapeutic techniques, including CBT, DBT, inner child work and parts work. I want to help people develop healthy coping mechanisms, strong self-awareness and a positive self-image. I hope to offer a safe space where people feel open to sharing, processing, learning, and growing.

Life can be challenging and filled with traumatic events that affect our daily lives. When seeking support it can feel overwhelming.

I have experience working with individuals with anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder and more.

Hi, my name is Shannon! I am a Registered Social Worker with an Honours degree in Social Work (HBSW) I am concluding my master’s in social work (MSW) at the University of Windsor. I am particularly interested in working with individuals who have experienced different forms of trauma, abuse, addictions, depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns. I create a safe space to empower individuals, so they feel heard. Committing to reach out for help is a courageous first step and I am here to compassionately, empathetically, and respectfully be here for you.

Have you ever felt your mind tangled and chaotic? When emotions overwhelm, clear thinking becomes tough. I hope to create a warm and safe space with you collaboratively, where we can together be aware of and differentiate various emotions, untangle complexities in thoughts, and fulfill genuine needs. Emotions are like internal signals, attempting to engage in a healing dialogue with us. I specialized in intergenerational trauma, mother-daughter relationship, breakup, family-of-origin trauma, eating disorders, identity crisis, narcissistic abuse, anxiety, depression, peer relationships, self-esteem, grief, and loss.

I believe that choosing to tell and own our story is the bravest thing we will ever do. My commitment is to create a safe, non-judgemental, and warm place where you can feel seen and heard. In my clinical practice, it is a privilege and pleasure to work with youth (16 yrs+), adult individuals, and couples. I support people as they work through various mental health difficulties, relational issues, sexuality, LGBTQ issues, overwhelming experiences, and identity. I have a special interest and research focus on emotion regulation issues (uncontrolled/overcontrolled emotion), intimacy, shame, and anxiety disorders.

Are you facing anxiety, self-doubt, or uncertainty and seeking a safe space where your emotions are respected and understood? Look no further. As a therapist dedicated to your mental well-being, I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapies (CBT) to tackle various concerns such as anxiety, PTSD, eating/body image struggles, OCD, and mood disorders.

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist in Ontario and Newfoundland with more than 25 years of experience. Connecting with people is the best part of my job. I thrive to provide a safe, caring, and nonjudgmental environment. I believe change and self-growth is possible at any point in life. Some of the conditions I treat and assess are Depression, Anxiety disorders (Panic attacks, Health Anxiety), Eating disorders, Adult ADHD and Autism. I provide psychological counselling for Grief, postpartum health and workplace stress. I also work with Canadian Veterans, Canadian Armed Forces, and First Responders.

I knew from a young age that I wanted to work in a field that allowed me to work with people and my faith has called me to serve those around me. My education includes a Diploma in Social Service Work from Niagara College, a Bachelor of Arts, a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Waterloo, and a Master of Social Work from Wilfrid Laurier University. Growing up, I struggled with reconciling my indigenous identity with the pressures of assimilation and societal expectations. This inner conflict sparked my passion for understanding the complexities of cultural identity and the impact it has on mental health.

I am dedicated to providing therapy to you that is strength based, client centred and solution focused. My practice is guided with empathy and compassion, understanding that everyone has their own path in which they must travel on in order to reach their desired life goals.

Hello and welcome! Thank you for taking the courageous step to seek support. Having personally navigated the challenges of uprooting my own life and venturing into the unknown during the immigration process, I deeply empathize with the bravery it entails. Life’s twists and turns can be both daunting and transformative. My passion lies in guiding individuals through these complexities, helping them adapt, heal, and thrive.

“What will they think, what will they say?" Reading that may have given you an instant reaction. If you had immigrant parents/caregivers, it most likely was an unpleasant reaction. I work with adult children of immigrants to heal cycles of pain and suffering. A difficult childhood or family experiences forced you to grow up quickly and you had to develop the roles of being strong & independent. I know the pain of holding everything in, not asking for help and minimizing your needs only to feel strong externally and struggle internally. You deserve more than surviving, heal so you can thrive!

I became a therapist because, just like you, I am human and have had my fair share of battles. It took a long time for me to get to where I am today. I recognize that in moments of hopelessness, it is hard to find determination, that depression can be scary, that anxiety can be overwhelming, and that traumatic experiences can leave one feeling emotionally exhausted and drained out. I acknowledge the stigma associated with mental health and in going to therapy. For this reason, I know how crucial it is to provide therapy that is client-centered, empathetic, and unique to each person’s needs.
