Marriage Counselling Therapists in Hamilton, ON

My specialties include anxiety, depression, stress, life and career transitions, grief, marriage and relationship conflicts, dating, and parenting. I realize there is rarely one issue and it takes courage to ask for help. I offer a safe, sincere and supportive environment to share, reflect upon, and experience positive growth from the issues you bring to counselling. I work with individuals, couples and families and have over 20 years of experience helping people share their stories and struggles - to feel heard and understood. Please know I also offer professional supervision to other psychotherapists and now, EMDR to clients.

Welcome :) I am a registered psychotherapist - qualifying (RP-Q) and Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) based in Hamilton, Ontario. I specialize in couples counseling and supporting individuals to build and strengthen their personal relationships. With a compassionate and non-judgmental approach, I provide a safe and supportive environment for clients to explore their emotions, work through challenges, and develop new ways of relating to themselves and others. My background includes training in Expressive Arts Therapy and often I will incorporate the arts into my therapy sessions when appropriate.

Accepting supervision and individual therapy only - I work with individuals and offer supervision. Based on an assessment with you, we determine the best approach to meet your goals, and emotional needs towards personal health and growth. A few of the therapeutic approaches I use include, but not limited to, CBT which highlights thoughts, dysfunctional (unhelpful) thinking, and assumptions. We explore the unique meaning you make of situations and events. I also use Emotionally Focussed Therapy, mindfulness techniques that rely on neurosciences to restore emotional integrity, narrative therapy, and reconstruction therapy.

Navigating life and relationships can be challenging, exhausting, confusing, and downright overwhelming. In a world where one is constantly connected through social media, increasingly, we can feel isolated and alone as we strive to meet relationship and work demands, while living up to our own personal and relational expectations. In seasons of uncertainty, it is normal to feel a sense of spinning out of control, and struggling with where do I go from here? The thought of therapy can be scary, which is why I am committed to creating an environment of trust and understanding.

Are you feeling trapped in a cycle of emotional distress and strained relationship? You feel like your partner or family are pushing your triggers and your relationship is causing you more distress than bringing you peace. Maybe you are trying to understand your relationships in your childhood so you can be different with your partner or with parenting. When there is past trauma or the other person is not willing to work with you, healing and moving forward becomes harder. We start wondering if we are the problem or if the relationship needs to end.

We often look for external solutions when we are trying to resolve or fix a problem. We may be struggling with issues at work or school, or perhaps we’re feeling stuck in a life that no longer brings us joy. The loss of a loved one or a marriage or relationship breakdown leaves us feeling depleted and abandoned. Overwhelmed anxious feelings can easily take over when faced with any of these situations.

Do you feel anxious, less confident, and keep wondering if you're being too sensitive? Do you feel like you are walking on eggshells or feel that everything you do is wrong in your relationships? I help people move from an unhealthy attachment with others to a secure relationship. You may feel like you are no longer living, but are just surviving. This can affect your concentration, feeling alone and can lead to hopelessness, depression and general distress which can cause other issues. I have helped people begin to see things clearly, start trusting themselves, and learn tools to help them cope.

My education and experience has led me to a profound passion for the restoration of people. I value understanding how the human mind functions on a day to day basis. My education and experience in Marriage (Couple) and Family Therapy has led me to further expertise on topics including communication, conflict resolution, relationship issues, sex and stress within relationships. I believe therapy should never be seen as a failure, but rather as an avenue of growth and restoration.

Life can be challenging. Most of us can have problems in our relationships with partners, family members, co-workers, or children at some point in our lives. Sometimes we struggle with what is going on inside of us, feeling overwhelmed with anxiety, guilt, sadness or anger. Often when we struggle alone, the problem becomes overwhelming. Sometimes we need someone to talk to. Someone who will listen, not judge and offer a response that will be helpful. I see my role as being there for folks who need a listening ear. I offer care and a safe place within which healing, growth and resolution are possible.

Clients I work with are often experiencing recurring patterns of emotional hurt in their lives and may be unable to see their positive qualities, criticize themselves easily, or have trouble asserting themselves and speaking their minds. The common conditions that I work with include anxiety, PTSD, relationship or marriage conflict, workplace stress, persistent tension, or depression.

Entering into a counselling relationship can be frightening and feel like you are losing control. My service is offered to assist you to regain your footing and to exercise your authority in making decisions, to finding a direction that is healthy, happy, safe and secure, and above all else meaningful. The service focuses on hearing your perspective of what is troubling and to engage people in a change process. People usually want better and to have less guilt and shame and to feel confident, competent and to be seen as equals in their relationships. I believe I can help create the space to safety enter into these discussions.
