SunLife Therapists in Cornwall, ON
So many of us grew up learning to keep it together for everyone else. Maybe you’ve said yes when you meant no, or found yourself in the same argument with your partner, wondering how you got there. On the outside, you’re dependable, the one people lean on. But inside, you might feel anxious, tired, or unsure of who you are. I believe those patterns of people-pleasing, perfectionism, and disconnecting were never flaws, but the ways you learned to stay safe when you needed it most. They helped you survive, but now they may be leaving you feeling disconnected, resentful, or unsure of how to care for yourself.

Welcome to my psychotherapy practice! Are you tired of your childhood wounds running your life? Of knowing where your anxiety, low self-esteem, and difficulty trusting yourself and others come from, but not knowing what to do about them? Of feeling like you’ve tried everything to heal yourself and to have success in your relationships, but not seeing the results you've hoped for? I put my knowledge of attachment theory as well as my skills in CBT, SFBT, and mindfulness to use in helping my clients progress in their healing of lifelong childhood wounds.

It is important to recognize that your circumstances need not dictate your present or future. Sometimes, resilience, determination and grit must be discovered and nurtured. I believe that we all possess an inherent capacity to embody a warrior spirit and effect meaningful transformation in our lives. I am a Registered Psychotherapist with a Master’s in Counselling Psychology degree, with 20+ years of experience counselling individuals, groups and families. My approach is a systemic, collaborative, strengths-based therapeutic one, while incorporating practices that enhance the mind, body and spirit.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts with a Psychology major, as well as a bachelor and masters in Social Work, specializing in mental health and addictions.

I believe that personal health is not only the state of the body but our minds, emotions, spirituality and thoughts as well. To help ourselves, we need to feel safe and secure in order to allow ourselves to become vulnerable and therefore able to work through the discomfort of change. There are times when life gets overwhelming as it's part of the human experience. As a result of this, you may feel stressed, anxious, depressed, angry, and your usual coping strategies aren't working. It is helpful to get support from someone who can provide a safe space for you to explore the thoughts and behaviours that are causing you pain.

Are you triggered by other people or your loved ones? Do you feel that trauma that you experienced in the past may be currently affecting you? Do you feel overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, reactive or emotionally raw? As a trauma survivor, I understand firsthand how unresolved trauma can lead to emotional reactivity, anxiety, depression, and a sense of emotional rawness. By looking into the events that have shaped us, and digging deep into the roots, we can re-process traumatic experiences, helping the body and mind to heal, bringing relief. I use an integrative therapy approach and incorporate EMDR and DBR when appropriate.

The goal of psychotherapy isn’t just about “fixing things" or "reducing symptoms." The ultimate goal of psychotherapy is to bring about psychological change, which is beyond what we "do.” When working with clients, I don’t rush or effort to get somewhere. If we go too fast and try too hard to achieve something, we will miss things that potentially can bring us learning about ourselves and opportunities for meaningful change. I use the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) as the primary framework, which allows us to slow things down, exploring your heart’s desire and obstacles in the way of connecting to yourself and others.
