Online Counselling for London

Life brings many challenges and sometimes we all need additional support. As a therapist, my approach is collaborative and solution-focused. Over the past 10 years, I have helped children, teens, adults, couples, and families gain insight and find balance for optimal well-being.

Are you a loved one struggling with substance use or addictions? Do you find yourself extremely anxious or depressed with no known cause? Are you looking for support for yourself or your loved one who may also have a trauma history? These challenges do not need to be faced alone. Within all of us is a great capacity to heal and recover. For all of the times you have tried to take on life's challenges alone, you are not alone and there is help to guide you through your struggles. Allow me to guide you through what life has thrown your way and take back control of your path. Recovery is possible for anyone.

Are you struggling with anxiety and burnout? Are you having challenges managing work life balance or personal relationships?

Whether you are experiencing anxiety and depression or undergoing significant life changes, I will walk with you through your journey of self-discovery offering empathy without judgement. I am a Registered Social Worker with a Master’s Degree in Social Work and Adult Education. Open-minded and approachable, I welcome individuals with diverse life experiences and backgrounds. I utilize a strength-based approach that encourages clients to reach their full potential.

It takes courage to reach out for support. I aim to create a safe, warm environment to allow you to share your story. I care about your wellness and aim to support you along every step of your journey. I am passionate about empowering individuals to build coping skills, create goals, and work through difficult emotions. I use a strength-based, trauma-informed lens, and work to provide techniques that best suit your needs.

Even though your life looks good from the outside, something just doesn’t feel right. No matter how much you accomplish, you continue to feel guilty, small and like you’re not enough. When you think about it, you probably don't even know who "you" are or what you enjoy anymore. Maybe you never really did know. It may feel as though stress has taken over your life. Work is no longer fulfilling, your home life & relationships are suffering and you feel defeated at the end of the day. All of this leaves you feeling overwhelmed, down and confused, and you're not sure how to move forward.

Life can be challenging and complicated. We might be able to deal with most of the problems that come our way, and sometimes we face a problem that feels hard to manage on our own (and we shouldn’t have to do it alone!). This problem may be something we are battling with internally or with people in our lives. It can be beyond our control or we might not know how to solve it or even where to start. Many of us find it hard to manage or regulate our emotions. Let me support you in discovering the strength and resilience you have hiding beneath these challenges and let’s work together to overcome the things that are holding you back.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to wake up tomorrow feeling like you have your life back? Has trauma, anxiety, or depression taken so much from you? There is hope! For 15 years I have been supporting people on their healing journeys and helping them take back their lives from everything that has hurt them. As a therapist I love being able to witness relief and healing first hand. If you are looking for healing from all kinds of traumatic experiences such as abuse, accidents, war, rape, sexual assault, complicated grief; trauma from work, I can help. If you are looking for relief from anxiety and depression, I can help!

I hold a clinical social work degree (MSW) and have worked in the mental health field in London, ON for 15 years. I offer individual therapy either in person, on-line or by phone using a range of therapeutic interventions tailored to each person’s individual needs. My practice offers an open-minded, non-judgemental space to address the things you feel may be keeping you from achieving your goals. I see individuals over the age of 16.

As a parent, do you often ask yourself how you could do things differently, feeling guilty or ashamed about the way you manage family situations? Struggling with cycles of negative emotion can leave you feeling alone, anxious, and depressed. Perhaps you feel disconnected from yourself, your partner, and/or your children, and you wish your family dynamic could come together more easily. Practicing acceptance and establishing emotional safety may seem like impossible feats, but know that there is a way.

You’ve lost sight of who you are, what you want, and what matters to you. You feel unmotivated. You worry a lot. On a deep level, you feel alone. Your sadness and stress are valid responses. Your experiences are part of being human and you’re not alone in feeling this way.

Accepting new clients! Individual and couples counselling. I believe that every person has the ability to heal from past and current pain and it has been my great privilege to be a part of people's healing for over 20 years. I am a Registered Psychotherapist that has worked with clients experiencing a variety of struggles including: trauma, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, addiction, relationship issues, life transitions and stress management. I offer an integrative and tailored approach that meets each person's individual needs.

I offer talk-based psychotherapy, art therapy and play-based therapy. I have extensive experience working in the addictions & mental health field with a focus on youth and young adults as well as support to families. I welcome all from diverse ethnicities, genders, orientations, life experiences, and occupations who are experiencing: depression, stress, anxiety, social isolation, PTSD & trauma, addiction, emotional and behavioural issues, separation/divorce issues, strengthening family relationships, and those who are looking to overcome barriers and make positive changes in their lives.

Looking for a specialized clinic just for kids and teens? London Sensory Therapy is a fun, safe, and soothing space, different from the typical 'chair and table' therapy center. Our clinic offers a ball pit, swing, oversized bean bag chair, glowing bubble tube, fiberoptic lights, weighted animals etc. all to help promote a positive counselling experience for your child, teen, or young adult. We have two highly skilled Social Workers who can assess and treat a variety of emotional, social, and behavioral challenges.

I hope to create a warm, trusting space to assist you in your healing process. I work with children, youth, and adults. It is important as an adult to recognize what we carry with us from childhood and the impact past events have on us. In working with my young clients, I ensure to provide them space to feel safe to express their emotions. It is evident that the meaning behind a child’s behaviors are often rooted in trauma, attachment difficulties and understanding their own identity. Specific to kids, play therapy can allow the expression and development to understand and navigate their core emotions hiding behind the behavior.

In person/online ->You may be unsure of what you're looking for but feel there are parts of yourself that seem out of touch with the world and yearn to feel, see, and experience more in your life. It can feel overwhelming to sit with a stranger and explore new and vulnerable parts of yourself but I promise to make you feel safe and heard. Often times our areas of needed growth are exposed through this vulnerability which allows us to explore parts of ourselves that weren't accessible before. I help individuals find connection with the things they care about most in their lives.

When you are struggling with your mental health, the anguish can feel unbearable. Perhaps you’ve been lost in depression or have been living with persistent anxiety. Your body might ache, or hold chronic pain. You might have lost a loved one through a death or through relational breakdown, and you are struggling to cope with the grief of such a dramatic change to your life. Maybe you are facing terminal illness and have deep sorrow or questions about what happens next. You might be a trauma survivor looking to rebuild your life. If any of these issues apply to you, I can help you.

Most of us have felt stuck - as though we are simply getting by doing the things we've always done. Usually those behaviours - thoughts, feelings, and actions - developed because, at some point in our lives, they were useful! They helped us to survive situations that seemed unconquerable at the time. Now these same behaviours may lead to isolation, emptiness, worry, or avoidance, and we feel uncertain how to change them. Having an opportunity to observe those behaviours, without judgement, can help us understand what we want out of life, and can lead us towards a sense of fulfillment and meaning.

My extensive experience working with individuals and families has led me to believe in the immense human capacity for change, recovery, and healing. I am a clinical social worker and view psychotherapy as a gentle, coordinated dance between therapist and client. I am interested in knowing you, your challenges, triumphs and your life story. While I am able to take a supportive role by listening and acknowledging your emotions, I can also take an active role when necessary. Therefore, you can count on hearing my take on the presented issues and my advice.
