Geriatric and Seniors Therapists in Barrie, ON

My path in the helping profession began as a personal care provider for seniors — work I continue in my spare time.
Every relationship tells a story — of longing, closeness, distance, of trying and trying again. Sometimes that story becomes tangled — between others or within ourselves.
At the heart of these stories is a longing for connection: to feel seen, safe, understood — and to find comfort, even in solitude. Yet we often get caught in cycles of moving toward and pulling away, leaving us feeling stuck or alone.

Life can provide moments of challenges. Clients subjected to abuse, sexual assault, IPV and tragic circumstances may be faced with such challenges. However with guidance and support these challenges can divert to empowerment and strength.
My experience comes from working in the mental health field with CMHA specifically in the crisis unit and the COAST program, as well as volunteering and working with Victim Services of Simcoe County. Having these experiences provides me unique insight, empathy, and a drive to assist those faced with challenges. The most important message one can offer is no-one should feel they are alone.
