Therapists in Brampton, ON

I have over 8 years of experience working with children, teens, and adults, as well as parents and families with neurological disorders like Autism (ASD), Learning Disabilities (LD), Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and mood disorders like Anxiety and Depression, behavioural issues and emotional regulation. I have worked in private clinics, public schools and private schools helping children and teens and supporting teachers and parents.

I work primarily with adults often finding myself with clients experiencing one or more of the following: stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, significant life changes, sleep disturbance, trauma, a history of being sexually violated or those seeking a deeper purpose. Many clients often have a spiritual nature and/or curiosity regarding their life, purpose, meaning and healing journey. I use a psycho-somatic approach often integrating a combination of Havening, Focusing, EMDR, Inner Child, Hypnosis, talk therapy and psychoeducation. These modalities offer a wide range of approaches to assist clients with change.

Struggling to manage work, parenting and family relationships can be difficult. What is helpful is taking the steps to recognize you need support, even though it is not an easy task to do so. Helping people to reach that goal has always been my passion. Recognizing and moving forward towards changing and breaking patterns of behaviour and / boundaries in relationships, may be what you need to alter your current path.

My philosophy of practice is centered around several guiding principles: holistic practice, collaboration, and flexible modalities of practice. Over the 15+ years I serviced various clients across a multitude of issues. My ideal client is someone who has a desire to move forward, may not know how but willing to do the work require to facilitate powerful change. They are willing to try various strategies until they find the one that works for their circumstances and is willing to be vulnerable together in order to get to the root cause of the issue.

Are you struggling with an adolescent or young adult with anxiety? Does your teen no longer find joy in their everyday life? Are you worried about social media and the impact it's having on your child? Do you feel less connected as a result? Is your young adult struggling with addiction, sadness or trauma?

As a woman and a second-generation Canadian, I too have often found it overwhelming and confusing to keep up with the different roles that are expected of us. It is not unusual to have a hard time saying "no", and put yourself and your needs last even when you might not want to. It is common to question your sense of self and be curious about a life that feels more true to yourself and that aligns more with your values. Even reaching out for professional support can feel uncomfortable and unfamiliar.
