Online Counselling for M6C

With over 30 years of clinical experience, I welcome Children, Teens, Adults, Couples & Families into my practice who are facing anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, grief, addiction, chronic pain/illness, or stress from relationship conflicts. I specialize in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Relapse Prevention Therapy, and Self-Care which are personalized to your unique circumstance. I also provide a special Couple's Program and a Deeper Healing Program that addresses pain and utilizes strength to repair.

I bring a gentle, curious and attuned approach to my work with individuals, families and couples. Together, we will examine patterns in your life, identify and expand your capacity to cope with the challenges you experience and deepen your relationship with self and others. I view therapy as taking a course on oneself and an opportunity to evolve. My work is often focused on supporting clients to understand, experience and tolerate emotions and to shift out of behavours, thoughts and coping that are no longer serving them.

I am an experienced therapist with 34 years of practice to draw upon. I will listen carefully as you describe the issues that you need support and help to sort out. Often, an increased understanding of the challenges that you face can be very helpful to move forward in your life. As well, learning some new skills to manage the issues and/or gaining a new perspective on the issues can be useful as well. I appreciate that it is not easy to embark on a therapy course so I make every effort to be supportive and understanding as we build a therapy relationship.

You deserve to be free and to live a full and happy life! It is our genuine desire that you experience personal freedom. From this safe space you will be able to discover your true identity that will help you connect that Heart-Mind Unity that helps you live from the Fullness of Being. You will be able to dismantle negative beliefs and perceptions about life and find the wisdom to solve present difficulties. You will learn to restore healthy perspectives that will lead you to realize your dreams, resolve conflicting desires, navigate the demands that are made on you, and find meaning to your existence.

My priority is to develop a therapeutic and non-judgmental relationship with all my clients. In my experience validating and reassuring clients helps to normalize their experiences and feelings. I am client-centered and focus on my client's strengths; starting where the client is at. "I believe that each person has a unique story and perspective in which they bring to both relationships and to managing life stressors. Ultimately, we will work together so that you feel empowered to identify meaningful goals for positive change.”

I work with adults in individual therapy. I can help bring awareness to the specific obstacles that may be preventing you from living a more fulfilling life. Together, we can make shifts in your relationship with yourself, others, and the world around you that will support your goals. I will provide you with both a nurturing environment and the necessary tools for you to explore what's possible and move beyond what's currently holding you back from continued growth. Together, we’ll work through internal and external barriers so that you can develop strong coping mechanisms and skills that you can rely on.

There are moments in our lives where we feel stuck or moments of crisis where we have done things that we don't feel ok about. We may be living with persistent fears, thoughts, and behaviours that frighten us, or no longer align with who we are. We may experience difficulties in our relationships or trouble managing the world. We may suffer from current experiences of harm and violence, the wounds from our past, or repeating patterns and behaviours that no longer serve us. In these moments, it’s important to have a space to process our fears, pain, and our hopes while building skills, self-compassion, and a vision for ourselves.

Hello and welcome! I appreciate the importance of being heard and valued, especially when feeling vulnerable. I am highly compassionate and provide a safe environment for you to express what’s on your mind. In our sessions, we will work together to build a therapeutic relationship and help you find the safety and connection you are looking for. I focus on working with survivors of trauma, people experiencing relationship issues at home or the workplace, those struggling with grief and loss, and individuals dealing with general anxiety, stress, life transitions, and the impact on day-to-day life.

I came to Gestalt Psychotherapy after a decade of teaching yoga and meditation workshops in Canada, Greece, Mexico and Nicaragua. I noticed that wisdom practices (such as meditation, yoga, breath-work, and reflection) lead people to face vulnerability and perhaps even pain inside their minds, hearts and bodies. Many people have insights about themselves, but they believe they can mentally figure it out on their own. We are not meant to do all the processing on our own. The therapeutic relationship allows us the support of a compassionate and trained witness so we can explore what is present.

Hey there, how are you? If you find it challenging to answer that question, that’s okay. Life is complicated! There are so many ups and downs. It can be hard keeping it all together. Balancing your emotional wellbeing with your mental, spiritual, and physical takes a lot of effort. I get that, and I am passionate about helping you navigate your journey, rediscover yourself, and see new possibilities for your life.

I often meet people who notice they are repeating relationship patterns and behaviours, and they aren't sure why. Sometimes, you may remember how these strategies were protective and kept you safe in the past, or you may not. I support the people I work with to sense, with compassion, how powerful and ingenious these strategies are. Sometimes when we meet, you've come to a place of knowing that these same protective strategies aren't as effective as they used to be, and you're wondering why or are looking to change. We come to decide in therapy what to hold tight to and what to set aside for now.

I am a registered Psychologist in private practice with over 25 years experience helping adults deal with stressful life situations. If you are ... - Going through a difficult life transition, such as the loss of a loved one, divorce, separation, mid-life crisis, aging parents, chronic illness, unemployment, or the loss of a dream; - Experiencing stress, anxiety, upset, or depression; - Trying to make important career plans; - Dealing with a relationship problem; or - Wanting to explore issues about meaning and fulfillment in your life ... I CAN HELP YOU.

The psychodynamic approach addresses who you are on the inside while, at the same time, helping you discover parts of yourself that haven’t yet come into awareness. The field theory approach broadens the scope of the psychodynamic model to include your situation on the outside, your environment. Both are necessary to make sense of yourself as a whole person and to develop perspective that’s deeper (inside) and wider (outside). Enhanced by greater awareness and support, you’ll acquire more trust and confidence in making truly informed choices that align with who you actually are and what you want in life.

Hello and welcome! I'm a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist and I look forward to connecting with you. Searching for the right therapist can be a daunting task, especially when this is likely a vulnerable time in your life. I hope my profile can provide you with a bit of clarity and calm in your search. If we were to work together, my priority would be to build a trusting and genuine therapeutic relationship with you. I strive to provide a nonjudgmental, empathetic space for self-exploration, processing difficult experiences/emotions, and working towards your goals. I also always encourage feedback from you along the way.

People come to therapy for many reasons. A person may have experienced a life changing event. Perhaps a loved one has recently passed away. Perhaps there is a struggle with alcohol and drug problems or other mental health concerns. Psychotherapy gives you the opportunity to speak with someone who will listen and understand without judgement, provide a safe and trusting environment and offer professional guidance. Therapy can help you make more conscious choices, reconnect with your feelings and needs and gain more insight into relationships. It can also help you deal with crisis, loss, depression, anxiety, trauma and unhappiness.

Everyday life can be difficult to navigate. Most of us have struggles such as struggles with self-esteem, conflict at work, in a romantic relationship or family system, or issues adjusting to big changes such as having a child. Working with a therapist can help you to get to where you want to be heading, and give you the space that you need to talk it out. Together, we will address whatever it might be that is impacting you, and help you to feel empowered and self-assured.

I offer Jungian / Psychodynamic Psychotherapy to people with a wide range of backgrounds, mental health issues and concerns. Whether you are looking for support through a difficult time or to embark on a deeper healing journey, my aim is to help you more fully explore, meet, feel, and process the root causes of the issues that get in your way - those blocks, patterns and wounds that keep you from moving towards realizing who you truly are and are longing to become. We work through this together within the context of a genuine, creative and secure therapeutic relationship that develops as we meet for the purposes of your healing.

I offer individual virtual therapy for adults and young people (16+), often focusing on themes including: anxiety, depression, difficult life transitions, relationship concerns (with family, partners, friends), personal safety, responding to challenging emotions, sex & sexuality, gender identity and self-worth. With over 18 years of social work practice in the mental health field, I have spent the last 8 years providing individual therapy, working with young people and adults across diverse identities and experiences in a variety of community & post-secondary mental health services.

Let's face it, sometimes life get complicated. It comes with many stressors and challenges. In these moments it becomes easy to get trapped in negative self-talk cycles, bouts of low mood, high levels of anxiety or stress and an uncertainty of what do next. As a psychotherapist I aim to work with you to develop skills and resources to combat the stressors that you are experiencing in life. I acknowledge that every person is a unique and complex human being and as a result I welcome you, as you are in order to help you become the person that you want to be.
