"Working through complex personal issues is most effective by sharing your thoughts and feelings with an experienced therapist within a safe and supportive environment. The answers that you are seeking are usually within you, you've just needed to express your "self" to get there. I work from a strength-based perspective and have been providing individual, couple and family counselling in various clinical settings for 30 years. My specialties include: men's issues, anxiety and stress management, improving couple communication, resolving conflict and assisting you to develop strategies to create a new life balance."

"I have been a psychotherapist for the past 30 years. I specialize in a somatic (body-mind) approach to resolve issues that interfere with one's happiness and well being. We will look at how early life experiences affect us and our relationships. This helps in developing a greater understanding in how one behaves in their current life, creating more options for lasting change. This work is very effective in treating depression by helping one feel more aliveness, energy and a sense of well being.It helps with anxiety by providing tools to create a sense of calm and presence."

"Do you have a specific challenge you are currently struggling with? Is something nagging at you that you can't seem to ignore any longer? Not even sure why you might want to speak to someone, but you're exploring counselling anyways? There are many reasons to seek out counselling. Difficult memories from the past, a recent loss, mounting stress, or just feeling "stuck" can get in the way of experiencing life. There is no one reason and no one right moment to reach out and begin seeking answers to the questions you want to explore. I invite you to visit my website for more details."

"Your Way Counselling is about helping good people achieve the psychological well-being, relationships, self image, and mental health they want. Services are Family Therapy based and build on your strengths.

We can talk over your needs and make a plan that suits you."

"Mental health exists along a continuum with mental illness on one end and mental health on the other. I work with people anywhere along this continuum to accomplish more than simply managing their symptoms. I want to help you to find the courage to live a life you love!"

"Insight is an intelligent force. Insight and understanding are crucial components to making change or healing, and to living a meaningful, fulfilling, and rich life. My approach is intended to help you achieve insight, make change in your life that you find meaningful and significant, and heal from past experiences that are impacting you negatively. I have worked to help people overcome a wide range of challenges, including trauma, anxiety, depression, emotional difficulties, grief, and loss. My approach includes empathy and compassion. "

"In my practice I use a creative, relational approach. I have a deep respect for a client's life experience and courage. With patience and presence I will challenge you to make the changes you want to see in your life. I offer a safe environment, free of judgment and filled with respect. In my practice you can count on being seen clearly and on seeing your own reflection. My continuous studies in the field allow me to offer clients the support they need. I have offices in both Kitchener and Stratford, Ontario."

"Are you feeling stuck in an older version of yourself that you know is ready to change? Do you live with the feeling that there's a truer version of "you" that's dying to come out? Are you held back by complicated relationships from your past, that seem to keep you in a holding pattern? Are you a couple stuck in a pattern that keeps you apart? Often we hit a place where we know we are ready for a transition, but we're just not sure what to do next. That's when therapy can be the most powerful. It's my greatest privilege to walk alongside folks just like you who are journeying towards a more meaningful, fulfilled, authentic life."

"Do you feel on edge, on guard, worried and expecting bad things to happen? Do you keep a distance from others, go behind a wall to protect yourself and end up feeling "safe" but disconnected and alone? Do you struggle with bad feelings about yourself, that you're not enough, broken, unloveable? Much anxiety and depression, triggered reactivity, flashbacks, nightmares, hyper vigilance, avoidance, isolating, anxiety and panic attacks, etc. originates in our past and how we were shaped by events and how we were treated by those we depended on. This affects our relationships, our sexuality, our confidence and potential."

"Suddenly, you feel defeated by life, or maybe you just want to run away and hide. Being consumed with worry, feeling alone, or sad, not understood by those closest to you is frightening and overwhelming. Life presents challenges that you find yourself desperately wanting to talk about, and yet unsure how to, fearful of judgments from others. Seeking out counselling support can reduce loneliness, and help you feel heard, validated and understood. Gaining a sense of control over your life circumstances, thoughts, and feelings leads us to less suffering. "

"Within each of us lies the vision and hope for the life we want to live. Yet, so often, we can feel overwhelmed by inner or outer challenges, fears, negative beliefs, low self-esteem, anxiety or depression. In many years of practice, I have seen the resilience of the human spirit. I have seen the reclaiming of vision and hope out of the darkest of places. As a Spiritual Psychotherapist, I work with traditional approaches, as well as those rooted in Transpersonal Psychology, Archetypal Psychology and Shamanism which recognize the power and strength inherent within to facilitate change. My aim is to act as guide, maintaining safe space, as clients address past pain and present circumstances that limit the ability to live a life in full bloom."

" Are you looking for support in order to heal, transform, and grow as a person? I work with individuals and couples, in person or online, to help them to go from just surviving, to thriving in their lives. All emotions can be explored in a safe environment during our sessions; including anger, grief or sadness as well as joy, curiosity and acceptance. I'm here to support you in developing healthy boundaries, to bring balance to all the aspects of yourself: emotions, mind, and body. We go at your pace and with your goals in mind. "

"Many things bravely lead us to seek out therapy: new life transitions, past life experiences that are affecting us now, emotions that feel too big to handle, and challenges in our relationships with partners, family, friends, and ourselves. The therapy space is where you can safely explore these vulnerable parts of your experience. It is here that you will be accepted exactly where you are, be able to express yourself without the fear of being judged and give yourself the opportunity to breathe through what feels difficult, hurtful, or uncertain."

"Parenting can be hard. Social media, gaming, peer dynamics, school and mental health diagnoses impact children and teens which can lead to challenging behaviours that are difficult for parents to understand and respond to. At the same time, today's parents are dealing with their own life stressors (work, finances, relationships and mental health concerns) that can further challenge positive family functioning. Thriving Families Counselling provides support to parents in achieving their personal wellness goals and helps to foster positive change and understanding in the family as a whole."

"Life can be overwhelming at times and it often takes courage and bravery to open the door to something new and to something different. Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed or disconnected or maybe you need to better understand and work through what is happening in your life right now. I specialize in supporting individuals with eating disorders, body image issues, anxiety and self-esteem, addictions, relationship issues, and trauma. Together we will explore what is happening for you interpersonally and relationally, while making sense of the feelings, thoughts, and behaviours that are holding you back or causing you emotional pain."

"Are you looking to create positive change in your life? Unsure how to navigate this terrain on your own? Do you want to be fully engaged in your life and relationships? The work we do together will help you cultivate meaning and make these changes. I work from a strengths-based perspective and believe that we all have within us the capacity to heal and thrive, far beyond what we often recognize. Engaging in the counselling process can be tremendously beneficial as we rediscover our own strength and resilience."

"CURRENT UPDATE - REGISTERED IN ONTARIO. People often come to a therapist when they feel stuck and don't know what else to do. They feel lost, down and like life is out of control. The good news is that when we work together you can find answers and relief. I'm very experienced and offer a variety of therapy approaches tailored to the individual. The bottom line is you don't have to hurt. One of my favorite therapy approaches is EMDR; it often works rapidly and produces large changes. I've used it hundreds of times, especially for resolving trauma. Let me help you."
