Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in London, ON

We are a private practice of psychologists, behavior therapists and assessors. We are here to help you live a better life; to figure out how you or a member of your family can change behavior patterns that are not working any more. We mostly see clients in our office and on occasion see you at your home. We treat you with respect and compassion.

Talking about it is not always easy. Counselling can help to make sense of what you are going through and how to move forward towards realizing your own potential. I provide counselling for individuals and couples as they deal with issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger management, interpersonal relationships, and stress. In every crisis there is opportunity for growth and I am here to help you find it.

Life can present us with challenges that leave us feeling diminished, confused, and unable to cope. I believe that each of us has the capacity to heal, find purpose, and create a path forward. My practice is dedicated to supporting individuals experiencing challenges resulting from past and current difficult relationships, life transitions, grief due to death loss and living losses such as divorce, loss of health and more; and challenges related to the experience of anxiety, depression, and trauma. I apply an anti-oppressive, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed lens guided by your needs, goals, and circumstances.

Currently accepting new clients: Weeknights & Wednesday/Thursday daytime availability.... Throughout the course of my career, I have grown and strengthened my appreciation for a holistic treatment approach, understanding that the obstacles to health are often multi-faceted. My goal in therapy is to help individuals get back to living their most valued lives, whatever that may look like. As a therapist, my aim is to support clients who are experiencing any combination of stress, anxiety, depression, life adjustment challenges and/or relationship issues.

My goal as a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), is to create a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I believe in the power of therapy to help people gain insight into themselves and their experiences, and to develop new ways of coping with life's challenges. I have experience working with clients who have anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, ADHD, self esteem issues and trauma, as well as experience working with men. I believe therapy should be available to everyone and am passionate about working with people from all cultures, genders, and sexual orientations.

I am well versed in grief counselling, Client Centred Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, CBT, MBCT & Mindfulness and am currently learning about forms of trauma therapies, Polyvagal Theory and Internal Family Systems. Regardless of what challenges we experience in our day-to-day lives (big or small), I believe that we all deserve the opportunity to heal. Whether your barriers are at the forefront or in the past, it is never too late to start the healing process.

I believe in each person’s capacity for healing and I endeavor to meet you from a place of curiosity, compassion, and collaboration. I work with individuals to process and peacefully resolve past trauma, manage present anxieties, and effectively cope with stressors to engage more fully in their lives.

I am passionate about working with clients who appreciate the importance of mental health and are aspiring to make changes on the course of becoming their best self. I believe that each client is unique and therapy should align with their personal goals and identity. I aim to create comfortable sessions free of judgement and oriented toward the client's intentions and needs.

Welcome! While our brain is responsible for a lot of good, it can also be the source of struggles. Anxiety, depression, self-esteem, difficulties in relationships, struggles in parenting, all stem from the way our brain fires. I began my career in the field infant and children’s mental health. Working with children and families, many of whom experienced early trauma, I developed a better understanding of the impact of early experiences on social, emotional, relational, and cognitive development. This led me to the field of neuropsychotherapy - how our brain and biology influence our mental health and behaviour.

Welcome. I'm glad you're reaching out to find a therapist to help you work through whatever challenges have brought you here. My goal is to walk alongside you and help you find ways to process some of life's challenges such as grief, loss, stress, and anxiety. I have a special interest in creating space for the work of grief and bereavement as it is often not acknowledged. My hope to create a safe space to process emotions, grow understanding and enhance coping skills as you work to achieve your goals.

Parenthood is vulnerable and raw, yet we are asked to present perfection to the outside world. In moments, you may feel the happiest you’ve ever felt, yet perhaps also the most lonely and lost. You want the best for your child, sometimes to your own detriment. You deserve the same tending to and care that you give to your child and I hope through our time together, you can get in touch with a new sense of self-compassion, acceptance and connection to meaningful motherhood.

Life will bring challenges and difficult times that can cause feelings of confusion, fear, anxiety, depression…and numbness. We also experience transitions and losses, not only through the death of people we love, but loss of our health, relationships, jobs, dreams. Without relief, chronic stressors can bring up feelings of fear and resistance and a lack of belief that we can cope. Some events and relationships may leave deeper, traumatic wounds. Sometimes it just feels like it is all ‘too much’. Whatever challenge brings you here, together we can work with and process these feelings.

I strive to create a warm, safe and accepting space to work towards your therapeutic goals and assist in your healing process. Although life happens to us, our healing has to happen at home - whether that means literally in our physical spaces, or in our mind and body within which we live. With this in mind, I created my own practice, Healing at Home Counselling and Wellness Services. With the philosophy that if our mind is supported, we can feel at home and safe in our body, our counselling services work from a person-centred, holistic approach which allows for an individually tailored intervention plan.

*Ketamine-assisted/ Psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy is now available.* Are you ready to make a change and live your genuine life? Or, are you ready to begin building a life worth living? As a therapist, I believe that every person can create and harness their own fuel for mental wellbeing by working on inner strength. I hold the perspective that mental wellbeing doesn't come from our environment, but from within the body. I use a holistic approach, looking at every way to improve life- such as nutrition, spiritual, emotional and trauma work. Please note that the cost for Ketamine sessions will not be covered by insurance plans.
