Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Guelph, ON

Are you struggling to find balance in your life? Whether you are navigating a life change, feeling stuck inside of a pattern, or unsure about parts of your own identity – I offer a non-judgemental space for you to develop the skills you need to move through what you're working through with more self-compassion and curiosity.
It can be easy to feel trapped inside of ideas of who we "should" be, how we are told to exist and act, or uncertainty through a shifting sense of self and identity. I welcome all identities, and am experienced with Neurodivergent, Queer+Trans, and Polyamorous/ENM communities as well as trauma/abuse survivors.

Are you stuck in a loop of anxiety, negative thinking, emotional turmoil and/or self sabotaging behaviours? Are you tired of suffering, and feeling overwhelmed, and powerless? Do you feel the need for a real solution but have been frustrated by limited or superficial approaches when you have tried therapy before? Through my experience in treating thousands of clients I’ve discovered what is most effective in solving problems and - just as importantly - how to help my clients understand themselves and the root of their problem. I empower them with effective tools and insights so they can also coach themselves as they move forward.

If you're trying to figure out how to heal from past issues with your self-worth, body image, weight stigma, health, illness, pain, relationships, work stress, anxiety or relationship with food, I believe you've come to the right place.

Anxiety struggles can be overwhelming, and difficult to overcome alone. So how do we cope when our worries and frustrations are magnified by a worldwide health crisis? You might think “other people have it worse, or my problem is silly”. However, our struggles aren’t measured by the event itself, they are based on the unique lens with which we view our experiences. Do you find yourself trying to escape from life, abusing substances or even feeling ashamed of your behaviour? If you're worried you're not ready or feel hesitant, there's no commitment necessary. Let's explore how we can work together to offer you relief.

Have you tried talk therapy but still feel "stuck"? Are you looking for therapy that integrates body, spirit, mind, and helps you feel your wholeness? Somatic therapy is a body-based, trauma-centered approach that goes beyond talking. Through experiential practices and bodywork, we gently reshape nervous system survival patterning (trauma) that loops in our bodies. This process can help us build a sense of home in our bodies and our world so we can feel and experience our aliveness. This work is gentle and attachment-focused, drawing from arts, play, spirituality, compassionate, nature-based, queer, and decolonial approaches.

If overwhelmed, stressed out, and anxious seem to be your common state of being, or if you are struggling with feelings of guilt, shame, and hopelessness, or if despite all your best efforts you can't seem to get from where you are to where you want to be, leaving you feeling stuck; then therapy can provide you with a safe space to be seen, heard, and understood.
