Attachment-based Therapists in Barrie, ON
I would like to acknowledge and honour your consideration to reach out for support. It is not always easy and can feel vulnerable. As Maya Angelou said, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” You are the expert of your life, however most of us need extra support to cope with the challenges that can arise in our daily lives. In today’s climate you may be feeling exhausted and access to the usual resources may be limited. This can be a lonely feeling and may be described as trauma – anything that you lack the resources to get through.

The Centre for Psychodynamic Insights is a virtual clinic specializing in psychodynamic psychotherapy. This approach explores the root causes of symptoms by uncovering and understanding underlying emotions through evidence-based treatment. Through collaborative dialogue, we examine unconscious thoughts and emotions shaped from childhood to the present. We work to relieve symptoms by understanding how these patterns affect current experiences, and create targeted strategies for meaningful change long-term.

I have worked in mental health for ten years and as an addiction counsellor for the last six. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Brain and Cognition as well as a Graduate Certificate in Addictions: Prevention and Treatment. I am working to complete my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. I have treated a range of concerns such as anxiety, trauma symptoms, relationships, self-esteem, body image, communication skills, ADHD, sexual orientation, and gender identity. My approach as a therapist is client-centered, meaning that I put your perspectives and needs first. I also incorporate concepts from multiple other modalities.

Feeling overwhelmed by life’s relentless demands, constantly caring for others while neglecting yourself? You’re not alone—and you’re in the right place for support. I work with individuals managing ADHD, anxiety, and burnout, helping break the cycle of giving without replenishing your own energy. Coming from a teaching background where duties always came first, and as a military spouse facing frequent relocations and distance from loved ones, I deeply understand the mental load and exhaustion. I get that prioritizing oneself often feels selfish, but meeting your own needs builds the strength to show up fully for others.

Here’s what I do to facilitate self growth. I integrate key therapeutic principles drawing on a wide range of psychodynamic, CBT/DBT, Relational and other evidence based modalities, in which I invite you to sit down and/or ZOOM with me in a relaxed, safe, informal way, and talk. It can be hard to believe that "just talking" can be helpful. But if you’re depressed, anxious and dealing with the impacts and effects of traumatic stress, you can be profoundly healed by an in-depth conversation in which you come to create greater self-understanding, discover insights and meanings, recognize patterns, and explore options and skills.

Sometimes, the things that have happened in our past can affect our daily lives significantly. Trauma can make people feel as if their past defines who they are and that it will always have a grip on them. Although traumatic events can cause lasting effects, there are ways to regain control over your life if you have experienced trauma or developed PTSD. As an EMDR clinician, I use an evidence-based approach to help you become 'unstuck'. Seeking trauma therapy requires immense courage. I understand how difficult it can be to discuss trauma, which is why I provide a calm, non-judgemental space for you to begin the healing process.
