Family Counselling Therapists in London, ON

I work with children and primarily youth as well as adults from diverse ethnicities, life experience, occupations and those of the LGBQT+ community. I have a specialization in addictions and mental health but also welcome clients experiencing depression, stress, anxiety, social isolation, PTSD & trauma, emotional and behavioural issues, attachment issues, separation/divorce issues, strengthening family relationships, family stress, school-related stress, workplace stress and those who are looking to overcome barriers and make positive changes in their lives.

I believe that every person has the innate ability to cope with the challenges in their lives, but sometimes experiences from the past make it difficult to tap into these abilities. I help folks who have experienced trauma or other overwhelming life stressors discover their inner strength and resiliency. When you are feeling stuck or disconnected from the life you want to lead, I hope to bring my warm presence, empathy, and genuine curiosity to help close the gap between where you are and where you want to be.

I help clients identify and work toward their specific goals to address a wide range of issues, including; anxiety, depression, addictions, life transitions, personal and work-related stress, relationship conflict and distress, separation, reconciliation, relationship building, and recovery from childhood and adult trauma. My approach is confidential, friendly and non-judgmental; facilitating happier, healthier, more engaged, relaxed and satisfying lives. I provide psychotherapy and counseling for people of all sexual orientations and cultural backgrounds, couples and families .

Communication is tricky. Sometimes what we need to get out doesn't have words and sometimes we lose our words when given the opportunity to talk. Maybe you or your family get stuck in patterns and need something new to help change what isn't working. Maybe you've never fit the mold and need a safe space that doesn't require your words. Or maybe you want to make counselling a little more fun. Art Therapy can help! (No previous art experience necessary!)

People often come for therapy as they are hurting or distressed and they have found that they are confused about how to move forward. They can be worried about someone else, are having difficulty with relationships with their spouse, children, or coworkers. Some people prefer to attend therapy on their own, while others wish to include the family member they are concerned about. I see people with depression, anxiety, attention difficulties, obsessive compulsive disorder, substance abuse, adjustment issues (separation and divorce).

There are times in life when we feel stuck, overwhelmed or alone. Relationships are complicated and difficult. Life can be stressful, confusing and painful. You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. I am a registered psychotherapist and work with individuals, couples and families . I believe my role as a therapist is to walk alongside you for part of your journey, holding your pain with you and working together to expand your perspective, and discover new strategies.

What do you want? Where are you going? How will you arrive? There are ways to cope, whether dealing with present concerns or long-term struggles. Perhaps you feel pulled by distractions or scattered by too many things going on. Issues affect each of us differently: sometimes they make problems and other times they open space for learning. Is it time to stand up for what is important to you? You can choose. This is your life, your relationships, and your family . We all need opportunities to talk, to be listened to, to feel heard, to be respected, and to be understood. We all need to believe in something and to care. Are you ready?

Drawing from over 30 years working with children, adolescents and families I provide therapy focusing on mood disorders, anxiety and depression. Using CBT (cognitive Behaviour Therapy) and Mindfulness most clients feel better in a few sessions. Constant changes including Covid 19 are challenging. I can help you cope better with change and life transitions, especially when unexpected. My expertise is working with families as well as teens and young adult as well as coping with family conflict, separation and addictions.

Sometimes, despite the love we have for our family , it seems that we struggle to have peace within our relationships at home. In supporting families to make the changes they are seeking, I utilize Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) which focuses on restructuring parent and child interactions. I always look at every situation through the lens of being trauma-informed and understanding the role of attachment.
