Therapists in N1G

I operate from a strength based approach, using a powerful combination of NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) hypnosis and Time Line Therapy®. I work in person and online. We will achieve success by uncovering the unconscious patterns and programming that is keeping you stuck! We work where behaviour, emotions and reactions are actually coming from. Huge shifts happen fast, even when they have been suffering for years. There is a way to heal that is easier and simpler - without talking about all the content, and reliving the pain. Free Consults available online and I will work on a sliding scale in these tough times.

I have observed that people possess an incredible capacity to make positive changes in their lives even in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges. Key to the therapeutic process is listening; listening not only to the problems that a person is seeking help to resolve, but also listening to discover their inherent abilities, competencies and resiliencies. I am committed to helping you learn skills that will enable you to live a healthier life now and in the future.

Angry much? Are you and your partner arguing more than ever? Is someone threatening to leave if you don’t change your angry ways? Perhaps your anger even surprises YOU at times. If any of this sounds familiar, let’s talk! Whether you feel alone in your anger - or worry you’ll end-up alone if you don’t ‘do something’ about it - this can be a pretty painful place to be. If you’ve got the energy and desire to get to know yourself a little better, and have the interest to explore your inner 'landscape' more thoroughly, then I encourage you to book a free consult so we can chat more about what’s happening and what may be possible!

Do you feel as though you are stuck in stressful patterns that you would like to improve, but don't know how? Stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship conflicts can quickly feel as though they are taking over our entire lives. We can feel as if we are spending our days just trying to survive. This can be confusing and stressful, but you are not alone. I am here to help you explore the root causes of these stressors in a compassionate and curious way. Together, we can uncover your strengths and build skills to navigate life's unexpected difficulties.

Perhaps you are someone who is feeling unbalanced and hoping to better understand what allows you to feel aligned. Maybe you are experiencing great transition and looking for stability within yourself. Holding onto your inner self in these circumstances can be difficult, but knowing there may be someone to walk alongside you during these difficult moments may help contribute to the courage to change. Together, we can identify those building blocks you already possess to continue creating the life you want to lead.

I have been working with people suffering from BPD and difficulties regulating emotions in clinical settings and private practice for over a decade now. I have also worked extensively with poly-substance and behavioural addictions, clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, age, and socioeconomic status, complex PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, LGBTQ, and Sex Addiction. I have worked closely with Veterans, struggling with decades of combat trauma, victims of human trafficking, loss and grief. I have acquired this experience not only in individual and group setting, but also working with couples in outpatient and inpatient setting.

Young adults and postsecondary students come to me when they are feeling overwhelmed from trying to 'hold it together'. They describe different combinations of anxiety, high sensitivity, depression, perfectionism, low self-esteem, stress, and burnout. They feel a strong disconnect from their authentic selves and find it challenging to cope with school, work, thoughts of the future, or daily tasks. They feel stuck and uncertain about their options and want support to learn how to navigate feelings of overwhelm differently and regain confidence in themselves and their abilities.

Almost all of us eventually have to work through something really hard. We need help finding our way to emotional health and personal contentment. I work with individuals and couples to rebuild relationships, understand and negotiate conflict, manage debilitating sadness, guilt, anger, anxiety, and general dis-ease. I can help you discover how you unconsciously sabotage what you say you want, and help you get what you yearn for most deeply. We have profound resources inside of us that sometimes get squished, and in a non-judgmental environment of warmth, openness and skilled inquiry, we can learn how to Live Life Better.

Welcome! It takes courage to seek help and is a sign of strength. Everyone at some point in their life feels ‘stuck’ or ‘overwhelmed.’ I have worked in the mental health field for over 30 years providing individual, family and group counselling. I enjoy supporting clients through their difficult times helping them move forward with greater confidence and hope.

I have a unique background of over 30 years experience working with young children, adolescents and their families. I offer a variety of client centred psychotherapeutic services specializing in individual and family therapy. My relaxed play-based approach helps children explore difficult emotions and situations. I use a strength-based approach helping adolescents building their self confidence, self esteem and coping strategies. When parents feel capable and they are better able to understand their child's individuality the potential risks for mental health concerns decrease for every family member.

Getting connected to a therapist can be hard. I ask you to contact with basic information, your availability and a phone number and I will connect with you (please advise me if I can leave a message on any phone contact you provide and/or if I can respond via your email provided (this allows a quick response). When we connect we discuss your needs, my qualifications and our working together. My approach to counselling is informal/goal focused. Taking on only a few clients allows me to genuinely focus. Rates are per session and results of change are noticed within four sessions. Counselling is a safe place to be honest and share with a professional who genuinely has concern and the ability to walk you through the change needed for you to be healthier/happier. Connect if I can be that help for you.

Often we hear that being a mom is the best job in the world but this is not the experience for everyone and that’s ok. Perhaps being a mom is different from what you thought it would be? Maybe you don’t feel like yourself anymore. Or you thought having a new baby was going to be a wonderful, joyful experience but instead you’re just overwhelmed. Everyone’s motherhood journey is different. It’s not uncommon to feel sad, disconnected and exhausted but these feelings don't mean you’re not a great mother. Being a new mom may not be easy but it is possible to feel connected to your family and enjoy spending time with your children.

*NOW ACCEPTING CLIENTS* Are you constantly worried, plagued by insecurities, or recovering from an addiction or abusive relationship? Feelings of sadness, numbness, shame and anger are all perfectly valid reactions to painful experiences. It can be hard to admit you need help, but the potential benefits are endless. You might think “other people have it worse, or my problem is silly”. However, our struggles aren’t measured by the event alone, they are based on the unique lens with which we view our experiences. If you're tired of trying to hold it together, I can help you take back control of your life. Get the support you deserve.

Accepting new clients with limited availability! Life challenges can feel incredibly overwhelming and may leave you feeling anxious, isolated, stuck, or disconnected from yourself or your loved ones. When our minds become overwhelmed with negative thoughts and painful emotions, it can feel impossible to get through the day or be present with our loved ones. I support adults and youth experiencing challenges related to anxiety, depression, body image, self-worth, relationship difficulties, burnout and life balance, and perfectionism. In addition, I support individuals and couples navigating pregnancy, postpartum and parenthood.

Most of us reach a point in our lives where we need support. I aim to provide an open, non-judgemental space for you to explore your thoughts, emotions and coping strategies in a mindful way. Whether you are struggling with a sense of disconnectedness, emotional disturbance, anxiety, and/or substance use concerns, there is hope, and there is a way to a more peaceful and fulfilling existence.

Heal from depression, anxiety, trauma, and other debilitating emotions using the power of your mind. Mindfulness is being in the present moment, which is the only moment you have control over. Meditation changes your brain chemistry. Both are skills you can learn and practice. Treat your mind as you would any other body part that's in pain, be tender, kind, be attentive. I am a Registered Psychotherapist with a degree in Psychology from McMaster University. I am a certified Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Facilitator. I specialize in using mindfulness and meditation to heal. Let me be your guide.

----- TRAUMA CRISIS INTERVENTION & TRAUMA COACHING ----- You know how you know someone who has been traumatized and is suffering – maybe you, maybe a friend, maybe a family member. *** The problem is the system tells you that trauma is difficult if not impossible to heal. *** You and I both know that when you are traumatized you suffer, your family suffers, your community suffers. *** Imagine trauma is an injury that can heal. Imagine falling and staying asleep. Imagine enjoying your family, your work, your life.
