Therapists in Hamilton, ON
Connecting with you in a compassionate, empathetic, and relaxed manner. Are you or a loved one experiencing overwhelming feelings of stress and anxiety? I believe in starting our conversation where you are in your life and exploring this with you through strengths based, solution focused counselling and support. When we reach adulthood we are not well prepared for managing the feelings that come with that. Sometimes these overpowering feelings can become so large that we need to reach out and find support from someone like myself that can help you find strength, solutions, and calm in an environment that is peaceful and relaxed.

You may carry the idea that there is something wrong with you, that you are fundamentally flawed. You may constantly work to keep the people around you happy. You may be wondering about the big questions in life, like what the hell are we doing here and why, and what is my role in it all? How do you make sense of the world we seem to live in, let alone your own life? You may simply want to flourish, and are running into the same familiar knots again and again. Whether that is a serious shock like a death, birth, rebirth or spiritual journey, whether it shows up in relationship, career, or other aspects of your life, I’ve got you.

My practice is grounded in self-exploration, relationships, and discovering personal meaning. I work with people who want to better understand themselves and make sense of their experiences. It’s hard to understand why we can’t break free from the patterns that keep us stuck. These patterns can make it hard to feel safe and connected to the people who matter most. It might leave you feeling overwhelmed and unable to make a move to change things. Or you might be feeling disconnected from your self. With awareness and compassion, we can better recognize what’s holding you back and explore strategies that lead to meaningful change.

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.
