I am seasoned and passionate therapist and I believe the clients have to look for the "best fit" therapist and they will be the judge of the work I do. My approach is completely through emotional intelligence, mindfulness, with care, respect, and evidence based approach, knowing that client is not broken or need to be "fixed" yet might need someone non-judgmental with compassionate heart and mind to be fully present in their space or journey.

Accompanying my university degrees I also have specialized certifications in addictions & neurodivergence.
I hold a specialized degree in Thanatology, the study of death, loss, grief, and bereavement. Over time, I’ve come to understand that grief extends far beyond the loss of a loved one—it can emerge through life transitions, identity shifts, relationship changes, and the countless moments that challenge our sense of stability and self.
My practice is rooted in compassion, connection, and a deep respect for each person’s unique story. I use a holistic, trauma-informed approach integrating the mind, body, and soul. I believe that growth and transformation occur when we feel seen, supported, and empowered.

London Integrative Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP, EMDR T, CCAC, CSAS
1 Endorsed
London, ON N6B
With a Master's in Counseling Psychology, a certificate in Trauma & Addictions, and 29 years of experience, I am dedicated to providing expert guidance in mental health.
My approach is grounded in respect, collaboration, and genuine curiosity about your story. I believe that healing unfolds most naturally when you feel safe, understood, and free from judgment. Many people come to therapy carrying years of unspoken experiences—moments they minimized, memories they pushed aside, or emotions they learned to manage alone. These layers often shape how you think, feel, and respond to the world, sometimes in ways that no longer align with who you want to be. Therapy offers a space to pause, reflect, and begin to understand these patterns with clarity and compassion.

This Thing Called Grief practitioners support individuals navigating losses that don’t always fit neatly into words — the death of a loved one, the slow grief of illness, the quiet exhaustion of caregiving, or the unraveling of identity. Many clients have felt unseen or misunderstood elsewhere. They’re not seeking quick fixes, but rather a space to feel truly heard, to make sense of what’s been lost, and to move forward in a way that honours what matters most. This work is grounded in compassion, respect, and deep listening.

Addiction Counsellors
What is the best therapy for addiction?
Addiction treatment will be tailored to the individual. People seeking help for addiction—whether with a psychotherapist, in an outpatient clinic, or in a residential program—should expect to engage in multiple types of treatments, sometimes including medication. For anyone recovering from addiction, avoiding situations in which one has typically used a substance is essential, as is the support of close connections. Since substance use disorders tend to co-occur with underlying mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression, those must also be addressed as part of any recovery plan.
How long does therapy for addiction take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from addiction. Patients and their families should expect the work to last several months, if not longer. Residential treatment programs may be based on a stay of 30, 60, or 90 days, with continuing work after release, but only about 1 percent of people are treated in such facilities. Ceasing use is just the first step; therapy to help maintain abstinence and effect behavior change must follow. The process of recovery, neuroscience has shown, involves brain cells recovering the capacity to respond to natural sources of reward and restore control over the impulse to use. Another definition of recovery is restoring voluntary control over one’s substance use and retaking all of one’s previous responsibilities.
How effective is drug addiction treatment?
Substance use disorders are treatable and remission is achievable for many who seek recovery; by some estimates, more than three-quarters of people who become addicted to alcohol or drugs recover. But that success rarely occurs quickly or on a set timeline; relapse is not only common, but many therapists and clinicians view it as a normal part of the process—not always a sign that a person has returned to addiction, but a signal that their treatment should be adjusted to help them regain control. Overall, research suggests, five years after the end of substance use, one’s risk of relapse is no greater than that of others who had not faced addiction. Other experts believe that complete abstinence is not the only measure of recovery, and that, through effective treatment, many people can learn to control their use.
How can you get addiction treatment for someone?
The most important factor in recovery from addiction is widely understood to be an individual’s commitment to change. For that reason,“interventions” in which friends and family gather to urge or force someone to begin immediate treatment often backfire; even when such efforts do lead someone to begin treatment, they may be less likely to stay than those who are self-driven. Still, family members can play an important role in supporting an individual who seeks help and can take part in family therapy as one element of a loved one’s treatment.
