My belief is that therapy can create an opportunity for you to become an active participant in your life. Each session offers you the time to reflect on your values, focus on your goals and gain new perspective on challenging issues. Dedicating time to yourself, for yourself is the cornerstone to emotional well-being. In order to effectively support you in achieving your goals, I use an evidence-based and integrated approach to the therapeutic process. I utilize theory and skills from the following modalities; Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Emotional Focused Therapy and Emotion Focused FamilyTherapy

Have you been feeling hurt, misunderstood or that your needs are not being met? Do you believe you should be able to handle everything on your own, because you don’t want to bother the people around you or in your experience relying on others has often led to disappointment? While I understand your reluctance about leaning on someone, I believe the first step to healing, often means asking for a fresh perspective and support. This work is personal to me. I want to normalize seeking support for mental health and reducing the stigma around it. You do not have to be in a crisis to begin therapy, everyday minor stressors are enough.

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or pulled between your own needs and family or cultural expectations? You may seem fine on the outside while feeling tense, disconnected, or unsure inside. I work with teens and adults — including those from culturally diverse backgrounds — who feel stuck between who they are and who they’re expected to be. Many feel exhausted from people-pleasing, self-doubt, or pressure to “get it right,” unsure how to be themselves without losing connection. Together, we gently explore what it means to feel more like yourself, with greater clarity, confidence, and self-trust.

Divorce Counsellors
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.

What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioural, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.

When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.

How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
