Therapists in M6G

With a former career in the theatre arts, I believe in the creative power of working with someone in vulnerability and connection. Having a space to be seen, heard and accepted is essential to healing. My training at CAMH has given me experience with mental health challenges and how they affect families. With many years experience as a Spiritual Care Provider in the hospital setting, I also work with clients to manage new diagnosis and create new tools to navigate significant impacts their health can have on their life.

Perhaps life has become unmanageable, overwhelming or untenable and you are here to find help. From me, you can expect careful listening, empathy and professionalism when dealing with your issues. I am a Registered Psychotherapist with over 20 years experience. During that time, I’ve helped clients address difficulties, understand themselves better and find solutions in their lives. Psychotherapy is a journey taken together where insight, healing and transformation are possible. Ask me about my Women’s Group for Growth and Healing, Mindfulness sessions or Couple’s Communications workshops.

Sometimes life is hard. Maybe you’re going through a change or feeling overwhelmed. Maybe you’re wondering how your relationships could be different. Maybe you’ve lost your creative spark. Maybe you feel alone and you wish others understood your inner life. I’m here to work with you. We’ll talk about what’s happening in your life—what feels right and what doesn’t. I’m interested in knowing you, with empathy, care, and compassion. Together we’ll explore relationships, feelings, patterns, and possibilities. As a former academic and a practicing artist, my approach to therapy is creative, thoughtful, and focused on your potential.

I believe therapy is about supporting your innate strengths and wisdom. Whether you’re struggling to slow down, afraid of failing, or never feel good enough (been there); I will listen and support you in cultivating greater awareness and compassion. I specialize in supporting folks struggling with perfectionism, inner criticism, anxiety, inadequacy, and difficult transitions (career, school, relationships). We'll discuss your goals, reconnect with your values, and explore ways to move through life's difficulties so you can do more of what matters to you.

I am Shawna - a passionate and innovative therapist who believes strong mental health is rooted in resilience and connection. Having worked exclusively with young cancer patients and their families over the past decade helped me realize that emotional pain and resilience are not mutually exclusive experiences - they live together. Through the process of recognizing and experiencing our deepest pain, fear and longing we can become better versions of ourselves. My style is empathic, intuitive, and interactive, and I uncover and guide my clients to use their untapped strengths, resilience, and potential for connection in their lives.

For our first meeting there will be no charge - an opportunity to check out the chemistry. Is there a fit? I use an eclectic blend of modalities / tools and a respectful dose of intuition. Together we'll tailor make the approach that meets your needs. I see exploring relationship (any) as a fast track to self knowledge and healing - a most fascinating journey. Welcome aboard! And courage is essential - but I can help you find it.

Hi there. I'm so happy you are reaching out for support. As humans, we are all shaped and transformed by the relationships and experiences we've had.

Jungian analysis is a way of working with psyche. As an explorative non- judgemental approach it is based on the concept of a balance between conscious and unconscious aspects. Analysts work with unconscious images such as dreams, or images. The unconscious communicates in image. The goal is greater synthesis, self awareness, and therefore an expansion of the personality. This is called individuation by C.G.Jung.

When you spend a lot of time worrying, overthinking or dealing with overwhelming thoughts, it can feel unmanageable and impact your life in a negative way. You might be avoiding situations that make you worry or feel anxious, have a hard time sleeping, feel not good enough or do things in a certain way to keep the anxiety manageable in the moment. Therapy can help you learn ways to manage and cope with stress, worry, low self-confidence, overwhelming thoughts and OCD.
