Seeking help through therapy is an incredible step toward healing, and I am grateful to meet you in your search for a therapist. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) at Changing Tides Counselling, helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, addiction, and other concerns.

I am glad you are here. You are here because you are ready to heal. Healing and recovery process is profound, hard work and takes time. But you will never regret choosing to feel better, stronger and whole.

I work with individuals seeking guidance, emotional support, mental clarity, harmony in mind and body. Whether experiencing relationship conflict, stress, grief, trauma or seeking new perspectives and fresh solutions on your life journey, the essence of my approach is to provide a safe, supportive base where you can explore, understand, and heal issues causing discomfort and imbalance in your life. Physical limitations, social discomfort, and the challenge of living in a fast-paced changing world all contribute to "dis-ease" in the body/mind. This can present itself in the form of anxiety, depression, chronic pain, insomnia, eating disorders, addiction and more.

Accepting New Clients. Living with chronic pain/illness is a full-time job in and of itself and that can take a serious toll on your mental health. Perhaps you're struggling with motivation, identity or direction after a recent diagnosis or life transition, or you're feeling burnt out juggling all the responsibilities in your life with little time for self-care. Life can be so hard at times, and it can be easy to forget our resilience and capacity to overcome obstacles. Sometimes we just need a little extra support.

I am an ADHD/Autism specialized Psychotherapist/Coach as well as an Asst. Adj. Clinical Psych & Neuroscience Professor. Myself and the other practitioners at The ADHD & Spectrum Centre offer in-person services in Guelph/Ottawa and virtual services across Canada and internationally. I love working with families, individuals, and couples seeking to understand ADHD & ASD in their lives, and working to master everything from organization to impulse control. My own diagnoses of Autism & ADHD help me fight for my clients every day and have equipped me with a diverse set of strategies in my toolkit that are personalized for each client.

Accepting new clients. Do you struggle with challenging relationships that affect how you handle day-to-day life? Do you feel frustrated or exhausted repeating the same patterns over and over again? Are you tired of negative self talk sabotaging your efforts to change? Do you wonder if your connections to your loved ones could be stronger? Now more than ever, women are feeling overwhelmed and 'stuck' trying to create more positive relationships with their loved ones while also taking care of their own needs and desires. I strongly believe that we all have the ability to change the way we connect with others and with ourselves.

Kay Psychotherapy is thrilled to receive the 2024 Canada's Choice Award for Mental Health Services In Oshawa. What makes us a little different is that our accomplished team of therapists, all have 5+ years of professional training and a 10-year minimum of clinical experience. We've helped over 5000 Ontarians since 2012.

I work with adults who are feeling stressed: they may worry, panic or feel shy in social situations, may try to be perfect, may feel badly about themselves, or wish to express themselves more effectively, or to set clearer boundaries with others, or to be more assertive. I also work with people from the straight and LGBTQ communities who are experiencing challenges in their relationships, with sexuality, sexual orientation, alternative relationships, alternative sexualities, and gender. Many experience these challenges, but some may lose a sense of balance in their lives or the ability to enjoy life and relationships while trying to sort out their concerns.

***STILL OPEN FOR IN-PERSON GUELPH/MISSISSAUGA*** I believe that there is good in every person, and hope in every situation. I have helped hundreds of individuals, couples, and families heal, grow, and connect. As a relational therapist, I appreciate the impact that our relationships have on our well-being. I do not see clients as having something wrong with their minds that necessarily needs to be fixed. Rather, I see my clients as unique individuals, each with their own stories and perspectives, embedded in important relationships and contexts that impact them. I see strengths and I see hope, even when it feels like there is none.

**NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS IN PERSON AND REMOTELY** I pride myself in offering clients an approach that is dedicated to understanding their goals through a collaborative counselling experience. I create a safe and calm space to facilitate a strong therapeutic connection with clients. With gentle curiosity and openness, I invite clients to tell me about their world and experience, so I can learn from them. I believe that healing is possible for everyone and it is my joy to help a client unlock their full potential for happiness and health. It’s not about merely helping clients to survive the day to day but helping clients to thrive!

Sometimes breathing is difficult, sometimes it comes easy, sometimes weakness, sometimes strength. Your gift is great; the expression of that authentic self is Love and Courage. Who are you? What do you want? Are you willing, at any given moment, to sacrifice who you are for what you will become? Anything is possible. Well designed. Express how you feel with intention and take ownership of your daily living. Therein lies your power. I am grateful to serve individuals in all age demographics - I want to highlight that the services here are not limited to children and youth.

Are you or someone you are caring for facing changes that are causing you stress, anxiety or depression? Perhaps your doctor or another Health Care Practitioner has encouraged you to seek therapy. Adjusting to a new health diagnosis, changes to work, retirement or new living situations can create difficulties that impact your well being. Dealing with grief and cumulative loss can feel insurmountable. If you are a caregiver/partner, you may be experiencing extreme burden or burn out and feel unsupported and isolated. It can be difficult to determine what community supports are available or how to plan for the future.

Do you struggle with anxiety, unwanted thoughts, and depression that affect your ability to be in the moment and enjoy your life? Do you find it hard to manage your emotions? Have you experienced something in the past that keeps you in a cycle of emotional pain? Do you find yourself wondering if there is any light at the end of the tunnel? Experiencing overwhelming emotions, and painful memories can be exhausting. It is even more exhausting when people around us are unable to understand this emotional pain. Not addressing this pain, and unwanted thoughts can have far-reaching impact on our quality of life and relationships.

Among all the things we want for ourselves, perhaps happiness tops the list for most. But life may not always turn out the way we expect, and that can hurt. There may be times when we feel stuck, angry, lost, confused, unhappy, or overwhelmed. What do we do then? In such times, I like to remind myself that “Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional” (Haruki Murakami). This perspective offers us strength to move towards inner healing and positive change. Seeking therapy is brave work, and a beautiful way to practice self-love; when you truly love yourself, you value who you are and can grow towards the best version of yourself.

In order to work effectively on something, we must know its root and nature. I believe that half the battle is truly understanding why our struggles are occurring in the first place. Once we know the root of the concern and the thoughts, feelings, experiences, and ideas that reinforce its existence, we can then begin to dismantle its power—brick by brick. I believe in holding space for people to tell their stories and explore parts of themselves they may have never before felt safe to share with others. It is through this brave process of standing face-to-face with every part of who we are that we can decide who we would like to be.

Imagine a space where science and art harmonize, meeting you with understanding and creativity: this is the heart (and brain) of my therapy practice. I invite you on an exploration as unique as you are, where empathy lights the way. You are not alone, and I am so proud of you for taking this step! My own journey, where I overcame being unable to read until the 3rd grade, testifies that no obstacle is insurmountable with creativity, commitment, and support. I believe that for everyone, regardless of the cards dealt, there exist many paths to a fulfilling life—let’s discover together how your own path might unfold most vibrantly.
