Clinical Supervision and Qualified Supervisors - Therapists in Mississauga, ON

Hello, I am a Registered Psychologist dedicated to supporting individuals on their journey to mental well-being. I strive to create a safe space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. As a licensed psychologist, I bring over 20 years of experience in helping people navigate life's challenges. My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and life transitions. I am committed to tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs of each individual.

While navigating some of life's challenges is difficult to do alone, reaching out for support can be life-changing. When therapy feels safe, non-judgmental, and supportive, healing can take place. I aim to support clients by creating an empathic environment, taking the time to understand the sources of difficulties, offering reflections that help deepen personal understanding of oneself, and providing individually-tailored coping strategies. I balance accepting clients as they are with promoting the positive changes and personal growth they seek.

There are times in one's life when you may need the support of a highly qualified compassionate professional to support you in your journey toward health and healing; as such, it may be helpful and needful to address concerns relating to mental health, relationships, parent-child concerns, workplace issues and a number of other concerns.

Life is nothing short of amazing. It's amazing how much we can go through and live to tell about it. It's amazing how fast kids grow up and time flies, how angry a co-worker can make you, how much compassion we can seem to have for others when we struggle to offer any to ourselves. It's amazing how much we put on our plates when all we need is to rest. It's amazing how much we can long for understanding and connection and how much opportunity can be missed right in front of our eyes. It's amazing how short life is. It's also amazing how much we can learn in the time we have, and how little steps can amount to such massive change.

The high levels of anxiety, anger and loss that families are facing today are wreaking havoc on our well-being and in our relationships.
