Therapists in Creemore, ON

It's not just you, life HAS gotten harder in the last few years. If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.

Explore within. Create connection. Ignite potential. I work with teens (17+) and adults, along with all levels of athletes & performers - from leisure to elite performance. I help clients overcome obstacles of heightened stress due to anxiety disorders, depression, self-esteem, confidence, body image, self-harm, grief & loss, lack of normal routines, performance blocks, motivational issues and life transitions. These issues act as barriers to achieving their goals and keeps them stuck in patterns that don't serve their happiness or success.

Managing difficult feelings alone can be overwhelming. Do you feel stuck and hope for things to be better? Do you feel exhausted, frustrated, or guilty by trying to live up to your ideal self or other people’s expectations? Whether it is overcoming anxious thoughts, a difficult relationship, moving past your traumas, or simply wanting to understand yourself better, I take a holistic approach and offer several modalities to help you on your path to healing. I will walk alongside you on your journey, while providing a safe and non-judgmental space. Connection is the foundation of our work together.

Confused, drained or ALONE in your relationship? Are you putting the needs of others before your own? Are you changing yourself (like a chameleon) in order to feel appreciated? If the other person becomes your main focus and you modify your behaviors and ignore your needs to keep the relationship going at any cost, you have codependency. Codependents are MAGNETS for entitled, narcissistic, grandiose personalities. The ensuing relationship can stumble along for a LONG time, requiring huge amounts of effort and energy to keep up until finally it falls apart. When it does, you feel betrayed and abandoned (codependent's biggest fear).

CHANGE IS POSSIBLE. Are you feeling burned out, anxious or depressed? Maybe you feel stuck or overwhelmed? Are you ready for a life change? I provide therapy to individuals who are looking for ways to change dysfunctional patterns and heal the wounds that block them from living the life they want. I offer a non-judgmental, compassionate space where together we can help you uncover hidden layers of yourself, develop new coping skills, experience inner transformation and personal growth. My areas of focus are anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, relationships and existential crisis.

If you are dealing with the fallout of having been betrayed or violated by an important person or institution in your life, therapy can help you make sense of it all and begin to find healing. Life experiences like this can leave you feeling overwhelmed and questioning everything you thought you knew about yourself and the world. You might even wonder if anything can really help. I support people who are working through grief, trauma, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, religious abuse, dissociation, anxiety, burnout, ADHD, interpersonal violence, and more. People of all genders, sexualities, and abilities are warmly welcomed.

Real change, healing, and growth happens from the inside out. This is a process of mutual empowerment that occurs through our genuine relationships, as we bring parts of ourselves and hidden parts of our experience into the light of a compassionate awareness. In psychotherapy we can create an authentic space of acceptance to explore life's troubles with compassion, curiosity, and courage. Together we may discover, become, heal, and grow. Whatever brings you to psychotherapy, it is with respect and gratitude that I commit to walk beside you on this path. "A journey of a thousand miles begins where one is and taking a single step."

Do you suffer with chronic pain or illness that leaves you feeling broken, hopeless, and disconnected? This disconnection can show up in our relationships with others, but also in the most important relationship – the one with ourselves.

Perhaps you are overwhelmed with feeling these things, but you are ready to make a change. I am here to help you get to the root of your suffering and live a life that is aligned with your values.

To facilitate the changes you would like to see, I will create a safe place to process relationship issues, symptoms related to AD(H)D, trauma, depression, anxiety that have impacted your quality of life.

The focus of my work is supporting people to discover, befriend, and transform old ways of being. Through exploring personal narratives, habitual responses, and the subconscious terrain, we work together to create fresh space and open to new ways of being. Sessions with me involve talk therapy with somatic exercises, Brainspotting, parts work and hypnotherapy woven in as is supportive and appropriate. I am warm and grounded, and keep the session energy flowing through active inquiry and deep listening. Working at a pace that feels safe and supportive for you is key, and so I regularly check in to ensure that this is your experience.

You are here because you are not alone. Many individuals prefer alternative approaches over traditional talk therapy because they can assist in overcoming subconscious obstacles and accomplishing objectives. Your narrative encompasses more than the symptom itself; it entails the unconscious dynamics, emotions, programming, and conflicts that have led to it. An old Chinese proverb says, "Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day, teach him how to fish, and he'll eat for the rest of his life." This concept highlights the potential of the subconscious mind, which is boundless once it is unleashed.
