I draw from CBT, CBT for Psychosis, Affirm CBT, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and trauma-informed approaches to support individuals, couples, and families facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and more.
Life can feel overwhelming — and sometimes the weight of it all becomes too much to carry alone. At Barrie Psychotherapy & Counselling Services, we offer a compassionate, professional space where you can feel safe, be heard, and begin to heal. Our practice is grounded in the belief that every person deserves access to quality mental health care delivered with warmth, respect, and clinical expertise. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, life transitions, or simply questioning things — we're here to help you make sense of it.

I provide assessment services for a wide range of challenges, but my treatment services are focused on psychosis, personality disorders, trauma, and behaviours that have led to problems with the law (e.g., aggression, stealing, vandalism).
You don’t trust people. You are getting swept up in your thoughts and emotions, do not feel like yourself (or maybe do not have a strong sense of self), and are finding it difficult to live the life you want to live. Your anxiety and mood swings are pulling you into confrontations or causing you to act out in ways that are hurtful to either you or others. Your inner experiences are confusing and disorienting, and you are not sure what to do. Self-care is a foreign concept. Carrying this weight – all day, every day – is exhausting. If this resonates with you, I can help.

Life comes with challenges that can affect how we are functioning in the many roles we hold in our life. Our thoughts, behaviours, and emotional responses can really weigh us down. They hold us back, and leave us feeling stressed and overwhelmed. At these times therapy can be the tool to help you be the best you. It can put you in control of your thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and decisions. This leaves us with a sense of balance and peacefulness. I rely on Evidence Based Practice to support people in their journey to wellness. Therapy can include Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Narrative Therapy,etc.

Hi human. Thanks for being here, exactly as you are. My work deeply honours your past, while offering care surrounding what's currently showing up for you. We can slow down the activation and work to reduce the constant noise that lives inside by building internal safety and supports for all those unnamed experiences that have been getting pushed down. I work from a restorative care approach to support people experiencing disconnection from themselves, family, or community. The work is vulnerable, and I am committed to creating a gentle landing space for us to sit with curiosity in that vulnerability together.

Some days feel like you're drowning in emotions you can’t explain - anger that comes out of nowhere, shame that lingers long after the moment has passed, or fear that keeps you stuck in the same painful cycles. Maybe you’ve used substances to numb the pain or quiet your thoughts, only to find yourself feeling worse. Maybe you’re someone who holds it together all day but unravels at night. You want to feel in control, but instead, you’re caught in loops of self-blame, emotional shutdowns, or impulsive decisions. Maybe your relationships are suffering; you're either pushing people away or clinging to the hope they'll stay.

Psychosis Counsellors
What’s the most effective treatment for psychosis?
The most effective treatment for psychosis is coordinated specialty care. In this model, a team of professionals works with a patient to address all aspects of the underlying disorder. This approach incorporates individual or group therapy, employment and education support, family support and education, medication management (which often involves low doses of antipsychotics), and case management to facilitate problem-solving as needed.

When should people seek treatment for psychosis?
People should seek immediate treatment at the earliest indication of psychosis. Symptoms include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized or blocked speech, and agitated body movements. Early signs that a person may be developing a disorder that will lead to psychosis include suspiciousness of others, memory problems and distractibility, an inability to think clearly, rapid or nonsensical speech, withdrawal from friends or family, aggression toward others, and sensitivity to bright lights or noises.

What if psychosis is left untreated?
Without treatment, psychosis can have significant repercussions, including injuries, job loss, homelessness, financial or legal trouble, ruptured relationships, and suffering for the person and their family. While early treatment for psychosis often yields the best results, there is no point past which it becomes useless to seek treatment. At any point, treatment can make a difference.

How do I get someone else to seek treatment for psychosis?
It’s extremely difficult to watch a loved one suffer from hallucinations, delusions, and other elements of psychosis—sometimes exacerbated by their fears of treatment. Have a conversation with them in a quiet space and maintain a calm, supportive tone. Share your concerns about behaviors you’ve observed, suggest treatment, and explain the potential benefits. Listen carefully to their responses. The person may not be ready after one conversation, but with time, they may come around.
