Therapists in Barrys Bay, ON

"Does anyone know where the love of God goes~When the waves turn the minutes to hours?" [Gordon Lightfoot]...Peoples' curiosity and courage are natural resources & forces that amplify therapy process and results. After years of experience, I am convinced that the most powerful tools for recovery are CBT, DBT (cognitive & dialectical behaviour therapy), EMDR and cardio-emotive feedback therapy... All are founded on the latest scientific findings on the neurobiology of attachment and "heart/brain" treatments. Along with time-tested healing traditions, together we can activate your innate instinct & privilege to become whole and connect meaningfully with others .

We all come to therapy for different reasons. To process grief and other big life changes such as childbirth, divorce, illness, job loss. To reach out for help with something that we have felt stuck on for so long. To feel less alone with our stresses, our hurts, our struggles. To be more present in our lives. To mend and strengthen relationships. To better understand ourselves. To heal. These, along with so many more, are valid reasons to reach out for help. You are in the right place - you don't have to do it all alone.

Accepting new clients. Are you feeling stuck in a cycle of secrecy, shame, and isolation that often accompanies alcohol and/or substance use? Maybe you are wondering if you have a problem with substances, are contemplating change, or are interested in relapse prevention to sustain your gains in recovery.

As we journey through life, sometimes the way is easy and other times it is not. Therapy may help us explore whatever we have encountered along the path. I work with individuals 18 and older who would like to explore the paths previously travelled, while developing strategies for balance and wellness on the journey forward. My goal is to walk with you for a time, to co-create a space to reflect, learn and grow, guided by the inherent wisdom you carry within you.

As human beings, we encounter many difficult and challenging times in our lives. Taking that very first step into seeking help and healing is by far the hardest to do, however, it also suggests that you may be ready to do the necessary work. It is amazing to witness the ability of individuals to make big or small changes in their lives, all while exploring parts of themselves that they may not have known existed. Hence, I would be honored to be part of this journey and appreciative of each step taken to achieve your goals all while helping you live a better life.

I firmly believe every child and parent has an inherent desire to do well, and when they aren't, they just need a little help getting there. Together, we can do that. In my practice, I work alongside children, youth, and families to support them through life's challenges so they can build the skills to thrive. While I bring my knowledge as a psychotherapist, each individual is ultimately the expert in their own lives. In therapy, I hope to be able to co-create a space in which I can act as a guide to help your young person explore, reflect, and move toward growth.
