Therapists in Brantford, ON

I support youth and adults who are navigating transitions in their lives. Through my art therapy practice, we can explore ways to gain self-knowledge and work through upheaval and change. No matter where you are in your life’s journey, we can take steps toward deeper compassion and happiness. Art therapy is a good way to express feelings and thoughts that may be unconscious and challenging to talk about—and you don’t have to be “good at art!” The creative therapy process allows you to connect with yourself in a new way, channeling greater self-awareness and compassion.

Sometimes stressful events from your past keep coming up, or you're adjusting to a new situation like parenthood or loss, and you feel it's hard to breathe.

Through a collaborative, non judgemental approach to counselling based on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and grounded in attachment science, I work with Individuals (16+), Couples and Families.

This approach can help address today’s mental health challenges including depression, anxiety, addiction, and even trauma, as well as all forms of relational challenges.

Disconnected. Broken. Hopeless. Powerless. Stuck. Many men tell me this is how they feel in our first session. Taking the first step to make change in your life and accept support can sometimes feel the most challenging and overwhelming.

Life is nothing short of amazing. It's amazing how much we can go through and live to tell about it. It's amazing how fast kids grow up and time flies, how angry a co-worker can make you, how much compassion we can seem to have for others when we struggle to offer any to ourselves. It's amazing how much we put on our plates when all we need is to rest. It's amazing how much we can long for understanding and connection and how much opportunity can be missed right in front of our eyes. It's amazing how short life is. It's also amazing how much we can learn in the time we have, and how little steps can amount to such massive change.
