Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in V6H

Having been a client myself, I know that counselling can be enormously transformative and rewarding. At the same time, I also understand that it can require incredible courage, which is why I consider it an honour and a privilege to hold space for those with whom I work. My approach emphasizes nonjudgment, empathy, and respect for all clients, as well as their sense of safety and genuine connection in the room. Many of these folks are seeking support as they navigate issues related to relationships, interpersonal conflict, masculinity, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

I provide psychological services (i.e., assessment and therapy) to children, adolescents, and their families. I offer services to youth experiencing a range of difficulties, including: anxiety, selective mutism, OCD, depression, suicidal ideation, ADHD, behavioural and learning problems, autism spectrum disorders (ASD), pediatric health conditions (e.g., selective eating, sleep problems), interpersonal problems, and difficulties adjusting to divorce, loss or life changes. I provide assessment and treatment services that are comprehensive and driven by the latest research and best practice guidelines.

Beginning counselling is an intimidating process and I congratulate you for making it this far! It is an impressive accomplishment to take action with your mental health and you should be proud of yourself. Counselling is a space for growth, stabilization, recovery, and healing – and while we all have the tools to maintain, improve, and stabilize our mental health – I believe that the best results can be achieved collaboratively. I can provide a supportive, non-judgemental space to help you access these tools.

Everyone is unique. Most therapies attach a label to guide their choice of treatment. I believe that everyone has arrived at their issue through a series of experiences that have uniquely shaped their minds. I ask myself two key questions, what’s that about? And how can I use it? What this leads to is a way of working that is completely tailored to the client’s way of thinking. I fit techniques and interventions from a wide range of other approaches including CBT, Gestalt, NLP and positive psychology into a bespoke approach suited to the client.

Conflicts. Heartache. Angst. Chronic worry. Fear. Prolonged Sadness. Anger. You probably tried to deal with your struggles on your own, but you are not meant to suffer alone. Most of us reach out for help to family and friends. But sometimes you need more. You need someone who knows how to help you through your difficulties. You need someone who will hear, understand and help you find your way out of darkness. You need someone who can help you develop the courage to say no to toxic choices and yes to life-affirming decisions.
