Attachment-based Therapists in Hamilton, ON

Do you sometimes think to yourself "Gosh, my child's behaviour is out of control!". Do you think "I want to help my child so desperately but somehow it feels like I end up making things worse" ? Maybe you blame yourself and wonder "where did I go wrong?". Maybe other people in your child's life blame you. You know something needs to change but don't know where else to look. You've exhausted all the options you know of- you've spoken to other moms, teachers, maybe other therapists. You worry about your child's happiness and stability if something doesn't change. This is hard stuff! I want you to know, you're in the right place!

Life requires balance. As the famous saying goes, ‘without the bad, we wouldn’t be able to appreciate the good’. But what do we do when the scales have tipped and the bad begins to outweigh the good? This can be an intimidating and overwhelming place to be. But luckily, you are not alone. Through counselling, I can help you to take back control of your emotions, improve your coping skills, and to develop stronger, healthier relationships with those you care about most. Let me help you regain meaningful balance in your life!

We recognize the importance of building and maintaining trusting relationships and this is why our main focus in therapy sessions is on building a safe and supportive environment for our clients to feel comfortable to express their feelings and emotions.

We work with children and teens ages 0-18 years of age.

Have you ever looked over at your partner and thought "I feel so disconnected from this person"? or "how did we ever end up here? where did things go wrong?" On one hand, a part of you might want to make this work but on the other hand, you are so deep into your problems that you don't know how to find your way back to how it was in the beginning. These may seem like scary and hopeless thoughts but let me tell you.... there is hope! There has never been a better time to be in couples therapy. There has been so much research done and we finally know what actually works to help couples find their way back from a place of disconnection

Are your thoughts taking control? Not feeling yourself? Experienced something tough recently that you can't seem to get past?

Navigating life's transitions can feel like navigating a maze without a map. Overwhelmed and swept up by a pace that's shifting too fast, you feel lost and ask, "Why is this so hard for me?" or "What do I really want to do with my life?" Underneath it all, there's an unsettling fear of the unknown. You're constantly treading water, trying to keep up with a world that doesn't seem to pause for breath. The constant worry about disappointing others and feeling like everyone else has it all figured out is exhausting. But this doesn't have to be your narrative forever. It's time for a new perspective.

I believe that the journey of psychotherapy is a relational one. I strive to help people discover their abilities to better connect with people in their lives as they move forward in their healing journey. I have 20 years of experience working in the mental health field in various capacities, including children, youth and adults. I currently teach and research at the University of Windsor and am adjunct faculty for the Kings University College, in addition to my practice.

I have always been curious about human behaviour and passionate about using that curiosity to help others. That curiosity led to building many meaningful connections. My goal is to connect with others, provide a safe place for discussions, and offer empathetic support without judgment. As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I believe in the importance of empathy and building a strong connection with others. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors in healing and growth.

At times, life can feel so overwhelming that we just wish for a way out of the chaos into stillness and peace. For adults who have grown up in an immigrant household, the feeling of overwhelm can be amplified by additional stressors. It is hard to try to navigate family, belonging, community, and figuring out who we are and who we want to be in what can seem like two separate worlds and identities. It is absolutely possible to find your way to happiness and inner peace and it’s helpful to have a trained professional with lived experience guide and support you through that journey.

I have a keen interest in understanding the sources of human suffering, as well as the tools needed to navigate and create a meaningful life. Over the last few years, I have worked in a variety of diverse social service settings, focusing primarily on adult mental health. I have supported individuals facing a variety of mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, substance misuse, and relationship issues. I am passionate about exploring the complexities of modern relationships, supporting queer and non-monogamous folks and how we can create healthier outcomes for ourselves and loved ones.

This process can be daunting, let’s face it! You may be wondering: Where do I begin? What do I talk about? Are my problems “big enough” to warrant seeing a therapist? Will I be judged? Among a range of other questions, concerns, and uncertainties! You are safe and welcome here. And you don’t need to have an exact plan mapped out—that’s what we’ll do together! You may be struggling with work, relational, emotional, behavioural and/or physical or mental health challenges. Or you may be realizing that some past experiences might be impacting you more in the present than you once thought.

Have your emotions got the best (technically, the worst) of you? Are you overwhelmed by anger, stress, or anxiety? Perhaps your life has changed in ways you can't seem to cope with. Maybe you are just not living your life: you're simply surviving, and wish to be thriving. No matter what you are going through, I am here to say that change is possible. My goal is to make therapy an enjoyable experience for people like you. It is through this enriching journey that healing and life change can take place. Uniquely You was established on the belief that therapy does not require an agenda. Here, the process is tailored to Uniquely YOU!
