Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Therapists in Burlington, ON
Using evidence-based approaches like CBT, ACT, and SFT, I help clients understand the root of their patterns, develop practical tools, and strengthen self-trust so they can move forward with greater clarity, balance, and confidence.
My clients are high-achieving men and women who appear successful on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck internally. They often struggle with overthinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and a persistent sense of not feeling “good enough,” which can impact their relationships, work, and overall well-being.
They typically come to therapy feeling burnt out, disconnected from themselves, or caught in patterns they can’t seem to break. Many are looking for relief from anxiety, clearer boundaries, improved self-worth, and more fulfilling relationships, both personally and professionally.

I am certified in thanatology which is the study of death and dying. I am here to help you navigate the ‘new normal’ after experiencing grief and loss through death and/or non death losses (ie. divorce, moving, job loss). Regardless of the type of loss you’ve experienced, your grief is real. You are not alone and I am here to help you.

I am a dedicated and empathetic psychotherapist whose curiosity about people's diverse life experiences influenced my path to counselling. Born in South Korea and immigrating to Canada at a young age, I developed a deep appreciation for resilience, identity, and belonging. My experience of adapting to a new culture strengthened my understanding of life transitions and fuels a passion for supporting others through change and personal grouth.

Many of us have forgotten how to let our emotions move through our bodies like pure energy forms - letting anger churn, hope to blossom, grief to contract, or sit with unmet longing.

I create a safe space to help unravel beliefs & emotions, and offer personalized, therapeutic techniques to support individuals to gain awareness and clarity about themselves, their patterns and the decisions they make in their life.

I take a trauma-informed, solutions focused, CBT approach to therapy.
New July 2026: Are you a Type A, driven, hardworking woman who is quietly unraveling inside? No one sees your high-functioning anxiety or the trauma responses running the show. Your mind never stops, your body is always tense, and relaxation feels impossible. Praise doesn’t register. You wonder if maybe you have ADHD, depression, or just burnout - but deep down, your intuition knows somethings off. Maybe you grew up having to perform, stay small, or manage other people’s emotions. You’ve tried the walks, journaling, meditations.. but your nervous system still feels stuck. You know you need to “love yourself”- you just don’t know how

My training in South Africa was integrative, allowing me to draw from a number of evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ( CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), and client-centered therapy.
I provide psychological services to adolescents, adults, couples, and families. With over 10 years of experience working in a range of settings—including hospitals and private practice—I bring a depth of clinical knowledge and a compassionate approach to my work. I completed my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology at the University of Johannesburg in South Africa, where I also conducted research on parental bereavement—an area that continues to shape my interest in supporting individuals and families navigating grief.

When you are facing overwhelming challenges you need a safe place to share the burdens of this life. I enjoy being there for others, to listen, and to be encouraging. We all have a story and experiences that have shaped who we are . But when you get stuck in patterns or a mental rut, it prevents you from fully enjoying and engaging in your daily activities and tasks.

Have you ever noticed that everyone comes to you with their problems...
...but you have no idea what to do with your own?
You've become the reliable one. The calm one. The person who figures things out. Somewhere along the way, you stopped checking in with yourself.

Whether you're a first responder, healthcare professional, or simply someone who carries more than most people realize, therapy can help you finally exhale.

My clients face a wide range of issues including: Depression, anxiety, chronic pain, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), life transitions, career transitions, relationship challenges and parenting issues. When I first start working with clients, we develop a list of goals that they would like to work towards so that our work is focused and directed. Some examples of goals my clients have worked towards and achieved include: acquiring tools to feel more in control of their depression and/or anxiety, becoming more assertive with others, improving their relationships and feeling more fulfilled with their career.
