Therapists in Midland, ON

Real Talk Therapy comes from my real life experiences on the floors of hospitals, agencies and treatment centres. This background has helped to create a 20 year+ private practice that is grounded, direct and well informed. Although my Master's degree in Clinical Social Work (MSW) has been a great foundation, my interest has always been about the art and delivery of a great counselling experience. To that end I offer you a safe place to explore, express and experience your next steps. My ten years as a frontline therapist on the PTSD program at Homewood Health Centre in Guelph is a solid rescource of experience.

Are you longing for the closeness you used to experience with your partner? Secure, connected relationships are key for a happy life. I help adults navigate their relationships to find the love, passion and fun that everyone deserves.

Congratulations on making this first step, I recognize it can be very hard to do at times! Together I can provide you a welcoming, safe, non-judgemental place to explore daily stressors and challenges in life. I believe through using an individualized approach that will best suit your unique needs, we can identify existing strengths and qualities that make you, you. We all have our own challenges, but we do not need to go through it alone.

My approach is what works for you. This is not an anything-goes approach, but rather that I want to focus on what is most important for you, in ways that are most helpful for you. As I often say to clients, “You drive the bus.”

Navigating the struggles of the human experience is not easy. Traumatic events, times of stress, life transitions, grief, and loss can be unsettling and overwhelming at times. With support, these situations can offer opportunities for growth and transformation. We can work together to re-establish strengths and face challenges through compassionate, client-centred, non-judgemental, collaborative goal-setting, skill development, and meaning-making.

I approached psychotherapy through a person-entered and trauma-informed lens, with influence from internal family systems therapy. I take a collaborative and curious approach so that together we can find ways of change that work for you as an individual. In my practice I believe it's important to connect your behaviours, emotions and thoughts with your body. It's also important to explore how your experiences have impacted who you are today. My hope is to a hold space for you where you feel safe, supported, accepted and respected.

It takes courage to take the first steps towards healing when you are struggling. With a warm, supportive, and non-judgemental approach, I aim to provide you with a safe space to explore and unravel your experiences so that you are able to move forward in your life with an increased sense of control and a restored sense of inner wellbeing. I work from a trauma-informed and client-centred perspective and focus on helping individuals heal from their past and reclaim their life.

Infertility can be an incredibly challenging and emotionally taxing experience for many individuals and couples. Providing a safe and supportive space for individuals and couples to express their feelings, fears, and frustrations is crucial in helping navigate this difficult journey. Infertility is a complex and multifaceted issue, and having a therapist who recognizes the depth of its impact and is committed to providing a supportive environment can make a significant difference in helping individuals and couples navigate this challenging path towards parenthood or alternative paths to fulfillment.

Now more than ever, life can feel challenging and stressful, where we do not give time to nurturing the needs of our mind and body. Reaching out for support is often the hardest process of change and I am here to begin this journey with you, every step of the way. My goal is to provide a sanctuary for holistic healing and growth. I recognize that true wellness is like a tree — deeply rooted in the soul, nourished through mindful practices, and blossoming into a life of balance and fulfillment. I am committed to nurturing not just the symptoms but the roots of your well-being.

Do you need someone to talk to that can help you to process feelings and thoughts, help you identify skills for coping, and build on your inner strengths? If you are not feeling like yourself, or you are struggling with mental health concerns, please contact me for a complimentary phone consultation to discuss how I might be able to help you on your way to feeling better.

I believe in the importance of applying empathy, genuineness, and non-judgement to create safe and comfortable environments when assisting clients with life changes. I work individually, implementing Play Therapy, adolescent and adult psychotherapy. My treatment is guided by several theoretical models to better assist the uniqueness of an individual struggling with emotions, thoughts and behavioral patterns due to anxiety, depression and interpersonal challenges. My extensive experience has given me applicable knowledge and capability in areas of mental health, crisis management, and those struggling with daily living and life.

Now accepting clients. I know that everyday can be a challenge, especially when you feel like you are all alone. I know your struggles are real and I want you to know that you are NOT alone. As your Psychotherapist, we will explore what brought you to therapy and then decide on the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those negative thoughts and explore ways on how to change your feelings for the better. Call me, let's get started!
