Grief Therapists in Essex, ON

Life can be challenging sometimes and it may feel overwhelming. My aim is to offer a supportive, trusting and non-judgmental atmosphere where you feel heard, understood and safe.

Every person could, at some point in their lives, use some extra support to help them through something they are dealing with. It may be anxiety, depression, infertility, relationship or parenting stress, loss, or normal life events that feel overwhelming or exhausting. I'm here to support you as you work through these issues and move towards change. I provide trauma-informed care and I want to help you find the strengths you already have and empower you to promote positive change and growth in your life. I am happy to provide in-person, virtual, or phone counselling depending on your wishes and needs.

I am well versed in providing counselling services to children, adolescents and adults of all ages. I enjoy working with people who are struggling in the various stages and different aspects of their lives. For adolescents and adults, this could involve understanding and better managing anxiety, depression, grief or unexpected changes. It could also be in a supportive role as clients navigate learning about their new psychiatric diagnosis and how to best manage it. Or it may be working with children teaching them about their emotions, worry and adapting to big changes in their lives. The help I can provide is broad and varies.

Beginning or revisiting therapy is a big step, and I applaud you for starting the process of investing in your wellbeing. If you are 16 years or older and are struggling with stress, a life transition, mental health issues, a loss of someone or something, work struggles, relationship problems and/or more, I can offer relief and support. Life can be difficult, and it is beneficial to have someone help you navigate through it. I believe it is also healthy to have a safe outlet to reflect, self-discover, and heal. I would be happy to offer that for you.

About Me:  Since practicing I have observed that past events unconsciously continue to shape our reactions to our present situations, Often times coping skills that worked for individuals are no longer working now. In an accepting and safe space we will work collaboratively to understand why that is and work toward relieving that activation to move forward.   I am here to guide a support you, as you begin this journey of processing and understanding the root of your emotional activation in a healthy way through EMDR. I am excited as you begin this journey and I am looking forward to working with you in the near future.

Welcome! Life presents with many challenges... work stress, relationship stress, health issues, parenting, caregiving of parents, juggling so many different responsibilities. It can seem overwhelming when trying to manage it all. And sometimes struggles or hurts from the past, can seem to creep into our everyday lives when we would much rather leave those hurts behind. What a relief it would be... to release those worries, to alleviate those stresses, to heal those hurts. They are heavy to carry, and as we try to keep going, they get heavier along the way. What if, you could have help, to change that...

Everyone comes to therapy for different reasons. Sometimes it's a more immediate or situational concern (ie relationship breakdown), while other times therapy is sought out because of a long standing or historical issue (ie mental health diagnosis). What I have learned over my many years of practice is that it takes a tremendous amount of courage to reach out for support. But change is possible. Realizing that you are not alone in your struggles is very powerful. Having a safe and nonjudgmental space to process your concerns and establish a path forward- in a way that is meaningful to you- is what I believe every client deserves.

Do your thoughts, moods, feelings, or behaviours cast a shadow over your daily life and relationships? Maybe you want to make a change, but you don't know where to begin. I understand the courage and vulnerability it takes to seek help; you don't have to face these challenges alone. No concern is too big or small. With a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology and as a Registered Psychotherapist, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to guide you on your journey. I believe in your expertise in your own life and am dedicated to meeting you where you are.

We are a group of clinical psychologists and registered social workers who are passionate about the importance of mental health. Each clinician strives to create a trusting relationship with clients and values the opportunity to create a welcoming space. We utilize an integrative approach to therapy, meaning that our approach is grounded in evidence-based treatment and also the understanding that people are best served by a flexible approach that pulls from various theoretical frameworks. This allows us to tailor therapy to best suit individual needs and wishes. We all have different approaches, experiences, and clinical styles.
