Therapists in M5H

Having been in counselling myself, I know what a relief it is to find someone with whom you feel comfortable to help sort out some of the stressors and troubles of everyday life. Perhaps you would like to chat about a number of issues that are piling up and you don’t know what to do. Or, maybe something really big has happened and you feel overwhelmed and like nothing in your life will ever be the same again. No matter what your concern, I'm driven to help you reach a life of peace and to no longer feel victimized by your struggles.

I am a psychologist in supervised practice specialized in the practices of clinical neuropsychology, clinical psychology, and rehabilitation psychology with adults. Like many Canadians, I come from a bicultural upbringing. For this reason, I am aware of the unique challenges and intergenerational experiences faced by those of us in the BIPOC community. Drawing from my professional training as a psychologist, as well as my personal journey growing up in a bicultural environment, my goal is to create an authentic, relatable, and culturally sensitive space for you to share your experiences through the course of therapy.

If you're reading this, you've already made one of the bravest steps towards help and life-long change. One of the reasons I started Centred Self Psychotherapy is because I wanted to ensure clients get incredible psychotherapists, who are self-aware, passionate, and skilled. At Centred Self, we believe that psychotherapy is first and foremost about relationship – to be able to delve into even the scariest of topics with someone that you trust. Therefore, we do not believe in a ‘band-aid’ approach, but work to create lasting change that gets to the root of what's going on. We also offer Reduced Cost Therapy with our student clinic.

Whatever has brought you here, whether recent or long-term concerns, being seen and heard by someone during moments of vulnerability can be impactful. Through the therapeutic process, we will work to understand your thoughts and feelings and the significance the past plays in shaping your experience.

You are feeling overwhelmed with stress. Every task feels bigger, and there’s this constant worry. You often catch yourself looking for approval from others, wondering if you're doing okay. There's this little voice inside that keeps doubting you, questioning if you're good enough. And when you're with people, sometimes it feels like you're walking on eggshells, trying to fit in without being judged. Deep down, you just want to feel calm, confident, and be your own biggest supporter.

I hold deep respect for individuals who courageously take the pivotal step of seeking professional help for their mental well-being. I offer support for concerns like depression, anxiety, ADHD, self-criticism, low self-esteem, perfectionism, burnout, life transitions, family discord, relationship intricacies, break-ups, complex PTSD, binge eating, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, and childhood emotional neglect. Each of these carries its weight and I commend you for choosing to work through it.

In my practice I see adults of any age, background, and from any walk of life who have challenges around depression, anxiety, trauma (child and adult), sexuality, sexual identity, gender, workplace difficulties, loss/grief, and many other issues, concerns or areas of confusion/conflicted living.

Let's face it... life gets tough. We can easily become stressed, anxious, down on ourselves, depressed, or begin to feel lost. If any of these challenges resonate with you, we may be a great fit for each other. In my work, I'm committed to developing a safe and comfortable environment in order to help you work towards reducing the impacts of life challenges, take care of your wellbeing, and create long-lasting change. I find great fulfillment in working alongside my client's to help them meet their goals and develop the change they're looking for in their lives.
