Humanistic Therapists in London, ON

Every person has the capacity for growth and change, and together we can work to form goals to help you meet your full potential. This could mean that you are looking to develop skills and new abilities to support yourself, or perhaps you want to understand your life on a deeper level. Exploring your internal world, such as your thoughts, emotions, past experiences and values, is an important part of our work, including your beliefs about your life and the world. During our time together, we work as a partnership to develop new insights which can alleviate difficult thoughts, cohere your identity and enhance your life.

Significant change is happening in our society and life is becoming more complex to navigate. We all need help at times. I commonly provide support for concerns relating to anxiety, depression, trauma, and loss of meaning or direction in life. While I tend to work primarily with men and male-identified clients in my practice, I am open to working with individuals of diverse backgrounds. Clients who are most often drawn to my work are seeking to address complex concerns in ways that also brings deeper meaning and insight to one’s life. I also commonly work with individuals who have a history of childhood trauma or neglect.

These days it’s easy to feel invisible, or unimportant but I want you to know that your truth matters, you are allowed (and encouraged) to take up space, and your story is one that I want to know. I specialize in helping people dealing with depression, anxiety, self-esteem/self-identity, chronic people-pleasing, big life transitions, and those wanting to set clearer boundaries with others. If you're feeling stuck in life, I am here to offer support so that you can move forward with confidence and clarity.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed in your close relationships? Maybe you are noticing resentment or stress re-surfacing in arguments with your partner or you find yourself feeling guilt or shame after interacting with your parents or other loved ones. Navigating these feelings in our closest relationships can be intimidating and stressful. In every relationship, we crave emotional closeness… and we seek it out even if it harms us in some ways or feels unhealthy. Family, relationships, marriages… they are hard work. I am here to support you to find your own voice, and to find ways to make these relationships have a healthier impact.

I really enjoy working with clients motivated for growth and change, and curious about themselves; what makes them "tick". The depth of my craft involves creating a holding therapeutic space or "container", which enables my clients to turn inwards and discover what moves them unseen. Patterns in personality and emotion emerge into view; emotional processes become unstuck and able to flow through to completion. An inner space opens for something new. It's a tremendous honor and privilege to accompany and serve people on this journey as a trusted ally, a witness, and expert midwife of psychological change.

- Currently accepting new clients in person and virtually! - Talking to someone who empathizes with your experience can be profound. It can be a palpable relief—a release of things we’d been holding on to, maybe without even realizing it. I hope to be this person for you. My goal is to make therapy tailored to you. My approach to counselling is integrative: I bring in elements from humanistic , CBT, EFT, mindfulness, and somatic approaches in a culturally responsive and trauma-informed way.

Welcome and thank you for considering me for your therapist. I believe that therapy is best thought of as a means of becoming the best possible version of yourself; this requires vulnerability, bravery, and a willingness to change or explore new ways to interact with the world, the people we care about, and ourselves. I am an integrative therapist who is collaborative, responsive, trauma informed, and YOU centred in my approach. I am committed to providing a space that is supportive, empowering, non-judgmental, and that recognizes the strengths you have or want to build on.

I offer clinical supervision and consultation to professionals who are seeking supervision and clinical guidance. I am trained to supervise psychotherapists who work with individual, couples and families and am qualified to supervise and consult to practitioners working with a wide range of clients and issues, including major mental health issues. A registered Supervisor - Supervisor Mentor (CAMFT) I have supervised, trained and mentored more than 90 people. My clinical supervisory qualifications meet the standard for supervisors with the CRPO and the CAMFT.

Everyone’s story matters. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is to begin the process of unpacking and understanding your own story. Perhaps your story has left you feeling ineffective, overwhelmed and insecure as a parent. Perhaps your story is just beginning and you’re struggling to figure out who you are, who you want to be and how to get there. Or perhaps your story has left you with a negative sense of self and unfulfilling relationships that seem to continually let you down.

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).

You may be experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, or other symptoms. You may wish to become more mindful, deal with past trauma, develop greater insight, make meaning, change old patterns or unwanted behaviours, develop new habits, pursue new goals, enlarge your sense of what is possible in life, and find greater peace and self-acceptance. If you are finding that psychological distress is interfering with your ability to enjoy life, maintain mutually satisfying relationships, and/or fulfilling work, psychotherapy can be very helpful.

Empathy, compassion, and curiosity are the cornerstones of my approach. As a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive clinician, I work with adults whose lives and well-being have been impacted by their lived experiences. If you’re struggling with your mental health, or feeling overwhelmed by the things that have happened to you, I can help you to sort through your thoughts and feelings. Building a life with greater clarity and stability is worth working towards, and my kind, non-judgmental approach can help you do just that. Together we will work to re-imagine your life stories, and tap into the intrinsic wisdom and skill you possess.

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!
