Trauma Focused Therapists in Barrie, ON

All of our children are so very unique and constantly changing. Sometimes they need a helping hand to keep them moving along to thrive in their relationships and connections with others; or to develop strategies to support emotional regulation, social skills, life skills, anxiety reduction, concentration and focus, or processing of traumatic events. Throughout the process, parent/caregiver participation is a key component when it comes to working with children. My long-standing experience with neurodiverse children, youth, and their families will provide you with the reassurance you need to move forward.

Are you struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, or burnout? Do you wish to be a cycle breaker who would like to process family relational stress and intergenerational trauma? Change and healing are possible and you don't have to go it alone. As a therapist intern, I take a holistic, nonjudgmental, affirming approach to helping a variety of clients navigate life's challenges, and find deeper meaning, inner-peace, and more joy in their lives. I am also deeply passionate about supporting parents and families in navigating the challenges of fertility, pregnancy, parenthood, and postpartum depression.

I've been accompanying people through difficult times and life challenges; depression, addiction, relationship issues, grief and more for many years. My conversations with you can help you discover the healing power, resilience, creativity and deep peace you've been longing for. My private practice "Tapping Your Inner Resources"; can help you release your deep wisdom to empower your healing and strengthen your relationships. Even depression, or 'bottoming out' in addiction can help to point us in the direction of deep mental, physical and spiritual healing.

To experience challenges in our lives—whether they stem from within or outside of us—is human. With an earnest desire to confront those challenges and better ourselves, it is possible to bring forth a life of meaning, fulfillment, and joy. Emotional hardships can be overcome; our lives can be grounded in a deep sense of purpose; we can become confident in ourselves and live authentically. These are but some of the precious things we can attain through the process of self-exploration and healing, and with proper guidance and mentorship, this process can be navigated with grace and self-acceptance.

Accepting New Clients! My primary objective is to create an environment of non-judgment, empathy, warmth and safety so that we are able to work together to enhance your life. I enjoy working in a collaborative relationship so that we can help get to the root of the matter together. Are you having difficulty with anxiety and stress? Are you feeling overwhelmed and caught in a cycle of sadness and depression? Are you suffering from chronic pain? We can join together to help alleviate those struggles, manage your circumstances, and create positive and attainable goals.

Everyone gets a little stuck sometimes. We experience painful experiences that can be hard to move past. We become overwhelmed by our responsibilities and sometimes burn out. We get in arguments with loved ones, and we make mistakes. We're human. If you're looking to get back on track, you've come to the right place. My goal is to support you in learning to balance the conflicting expectations and responsibilities in your life, and also make time for the things that you enjoy. To support you as you explore your own needs and desires and learn to have compassion for yourself, instead of beating yourself up all of the time.
