Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Guelph, ON
Are you trying to adjust to the demands of work or school, but it feels like your mood keeps getting in the way? Maybe you’re trying to move on from things in your past, but big feelings keep coming up and you’re unsure of what to do with them. I work with those who are trying to heal parts of themselves that have been impacted by the relationships around them. Many of my clients are teens and adults who are experiencing low mood, difficult family dynamics, and are trying to heal from trauma. We can take time to gently sort through your experiences while finding practical strategies that allow you to get back to what feels like you.

I embrace that the symptoms you are experiencing are part of a larger whole. Together, we can work to create healing, meaning and clarity for you, on a mental, emotional, somatic and spiritual level. Our sessions are informed by your unique position within time, culture and the fabric of our society. I am 2SLGBTQ aligned, ENM informed and work from a harm reduction, anti-capitalist, feminist lens. I have experience working with depression, anger, anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, people pleasing, life transitions, substance use, BPD and more. Consent is a big part therapy and I welcome your no, as much as I welcome your yes.

Whether it be you or a loved one, most of us have experienced some form of struggle or loss. In today’s fast-paced world many of us are also juggling the competing demands of work and home life; both have become further complicated by technology and social media. We live in a world where we are more connected, yet lonelier than ever. For those with children, we are inundated with parenting advice, leaving us questioning whether we are doing enough, or doing it right. With all the information overload it can be difficult to know where to get started when it comes to our emotional health.

We often minimize our own experiences, needs or desires and "push through" because we think we should. These learned strategies may have been integral to getting through certain stages of life, but can now be holding you back from connection, confidence, and satisfaction. If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disengaged with your own voice, my aim is to help you foster understanding, self-compassion and co-construct unique, manageable strategies that free you up to respond to situations, and yourself, with greater confidence, clarity and authenticity; opening possibilities for a more fulfilling connection to yourself and others.

Whether you find yourself going through a rough time, or you finally have the capacity to address ongoing issues, now is your moment to focus on you. Every person has inner resources and gifts to help them heal and find balance, and sometimes we also need a little help and guidance along the way. I bring to my work authenticity, humour and compassion that focuses on truly understanding your unique story and goals, while supporting you to nurture the strengths you already possess. I provide counselling services to individuals age 18 and older, and couples counselling inclusive of all relationship models.

I don't view my clients through a lens of good or bad; rather, I see them with compassion and empathy, believing everyone has the potential to improve and contribute to society. I trust in the power of agency—that each person can create monumental change, build resiliency, and overcome adversities. Working from a holistic approach, I guide clients to feel a sense of life's preciousness, which I believe is foundational to therapeutic success; I aim to help them reconnect with their inner light and their unique potential to thrive, free from judgment. We also work to externalize their struggles, so they are no longer defined by them.
