Family Counselling Therapists in Barrie, ON

Empowerment. That is what I wish for my clients. At the end of the day, I want my clients to feel that they can take on the world. That they can make the changes they deem necessary in order to show as their most authentic selves. I work to support individuals, couples and families using an individualized, collaborative and client centred approach that integrates emotion focused therapy, narrative therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy.

Seeking therapy can be difficult, not only because of the fears of sharing with a stranger but simply because of hindrances in life that can make getting started challenging. For example, (not prioritizing your mental health, a busy work or family life schedule, cultural stigma, the fear of judgment, etc.). I encourage individuals to steer their ship in their desired direction and at their own pace. I have experience working with youth and adults who've experienced anxiety, generalized depression, systemic barriers, school-related stress, sexual identity crises, low self-esteem, relationship issues, and parenting/ family issues.
