Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in London, ON

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.

Hello, as a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) I have had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of clients with an assortment of concerns throughout my practicum and into the start of my career. I take pride in being able to help clients assess where improvements are needed and strengths are present. I tailor our sessions based on your needs while pulling from various therapeutic modalities. I most commonly support clients through the use of CBT, DBT, solution focused strategies and ultimately, a person centered approach. As a young male I have had a lot of success helping males with male related issues.

We all go through rough spots in life where we can benefit from time to reflect. These times can also be an opportunity to understand ourselves better, and make sense of harmful patterns. Throughout life, we develop thought and behaviour patterns in our response to stress, in our relationships, and in our daily habits. With effective tools and strategies, we can make sense of them, and let them go. This opens us up to a more authentic and healthy life.

As a psychotherapist and Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers, my passion is for empowering individuals to access their own innate healing abilities. My utmost goal is to provide a warm, safe, and non-judgemental space within which you can share your concerns and hopes while working towards a happier and more fulfilled future. I use a range of modalities including CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, relational approaches, mindfulness , and solution focused approaches. In my work with couples, I use Emotionally Focused and Gottman Method Couples Therapy modalities.

Mental wellness is a significant component of our overall health. My goal in therapy is to create a space which allows you to engage in thoughtful reflection on your experiences, fears and various parts of yourself. I recognize and value each person’s unique capacity to make meaningful and lasting changes in their life. I am dedicated to helping you achieve your goals and living a life that is happier and more satisfying.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

*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.

Life is filled with many challenges. We all use coping mechanisms that appear to make sense for these challenges. Sometimes these coping mechanisms stop working or cause us other difficulties when they are used for longer periods of time. I provide a safe and comfortable environment in which we can work together to develop skills and strategies that lead to change that can be maintained over the long-term. I am trained to offer Jon Kabat-Zinn's Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and have facilitated many treatment groups using these techniques. Mindfulness groups currently on hold.

Be the person your future self will thank you for! We seldom ask ourselves, "What do I truly want out of life?" “How do I envision my future self to be?” When you work with me, we will approach each session with kindness, curiosity, and a desire to understand ourselves better. We establish goals and values which help to guide choices and actions. As a former ICU nurse, trained Psychotherapist and Certified Mindfulness meditation teacher, I apply a mind, body and spirit approach to therapy. I am respectful of all personal identities and beliefs.

Sometimes life presents challenges and struggles that signal us that it’s time for internal and/or external change. Sometimes, change isn’t easy and it can be hard to let go of what no longer serves us. Perhaps you’ve been struggling with past trauma, difficult life experiences, loss, or transitions that have impacted how you feel about yourself, your relationships, and the world around you. Sometimes we need some help to navigate the journey and find our way back to ourselves. You don’t need to do it alone.
