Career Guidance Therapists in Belleville, ON

I view seeking counselling as an act of courage and an individual's opportunity for personal growth. I believe those seeking counselling are the experts of their own lives and I act as a neutral third party without judgment to be a sounding board or a cheerleader. Together we put the puzzle pieces together to make sense of questions and move forward. My practice is guided by client-centred therapy and my approach uses a variety of modalities including behavioural and cognitive-behavioural therapies as well as other therapies for more of an eclectic stance.

Do you ever wake up in the morning and stare at yourself in the mirror, feeling like you are just not "enough"? Not good enough at work, school, parenting, your relationship, whatever it may be. You want to crawl back into bed, but you push yourself to keep going, to face the day. The feeling continues to nag at you and you don't know where to turn or what to do. You finally admit to yourself that you need help.

I know. It's a wild world we live in. There are so many things unknown and so many challenges from your past that might be surfacing. I'm not going to say that I have a clue what you are going through, because I don't. But what I do know is that the practitioners at my clinic SoulScape Services offer services that have helped people shift through intense anxiety and pain and if you are reading this, chances are that you are looking for some relief and peace. If you are looking to find meaning, purpose, and feel well again, Soulscape is a community of practitioners that treat your wellness from a whole-person perspective.

Sometimes life gets overwhelming, and it becomes difficult to see the forest for the trees. Whether it’s work, relationships or historical issues that are causing you stress, psychotherapy can help make things clearer and help you adjust your perspectives to make sense out of your experiences. Other times there is no "sense" to make, but through therapy we can learn coping strategies to get through difficult times. Our approach to therapy is client-centered, with the focus on guiding clients to identify and reach their goals.

I aim to form therapeutic relationships with individuals (12yrs +) and families, to understand their situations, and offer support to manage stressors and remove barriers. My areas of expertise are; anxiety, depression, grief, loss, anger, relational trauma, stress, burnout, and chronic pain.

Being concerned or confused about feeling sad, feeling unmotivated, experiencing mood swings or wondering why conversations with others don’t have the outcomes you were expecting are some of the reasons why people decide to work with me. While starting therapy can sometimes seem scary, working with a psychotherapist can help improve understanding yourself and your emotions. It can also empower you to make positive life changes improving those areas you may be struggling with. You don’t have to struggle, psychotherapy can help. I bring in a fresh perspective with compassionate understanding to the complexities of life.

Welcoming New Clients! Like the transition from fall to winter, we all go through seasons that threaten our livelihood and shake us from thriving to dormancy questioning our meaning and purpose. Your situation may be a devastating loss, lack of energy, motivation, and enjoyment in activities and people that once brought you joy or physical and psychological restlessness. It is difficult in such states to understand how flourishing may ever be possible. However, there is hope! Just as winter gives way to spring showers and new life springs forth to flourishing, neither is your situation hopeless; you can thrive again.
