Therapists in Mountain, ON

It's not just you, life HAS gotten harder in the last few years. If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.

Currently accepting new clients. As your Counsellor, I will work with you to create and nourish a safe environment - a space where you can talk openly, free from judgement or pressure, and to feel comfortable in your vulnerability. Vulnerability allows you the opportunity to progress towards an authentic life while expressing and processing your emotions. I will support you in identifying your needs, and strengths. Using gentle challenges, together we will create and fortify the foundation towards your desired lifestyle.

What is meaningful to you? What can be different in your life to bring you closer to that meaning? The impact of invalidation, abuse and neglect can deplete our personal sense of well-being and our ability to connect with others. To better find your solutions I will investigate the problems with you. To do so, I combine my experience as a trauma therapist with approaches such as narrative therapy, behavioural therapy, and somatic work using Brainspotting. In addition, if you have an established relationship with a therapist, I provide short term adjective support using Brainspotting and Safe and Sound Protocol.

Accepting new clients! I believe that we are all capable of making positive changes in our lives. My role as a therapist is to facilitate that process through warmth, understanding, and insight that can help you see things in a new way. Together we can work to identify meaningful and attainable goals, improve relationships and connection, develop confidence and self-esteem, and lessen feelings of sadness, anger, loneliness and hurt. After all, the more we understand about our experiences, feelings, motivations, and needs, the more we can make deliberate choices about how we want to live.

I help stressed and worried parents feel less stressed and more confident in their parenting. Have you been feeling stressed and overwhelmed with your kids because they don’t listen or follow directions no matter how many times you tell them over and over? Do you feel like everything you do is wrong and nothing you do makes a difference, no matter what you try? You must be feeling frustrated. As a parent, I get it. Working with caregivers for seventeen years, I absolutely do get it! None of us are born experts in parenting. You are not alone and you don’t have to do this on your own.

WELCOMING NEW CLIENTS FOR VIRTUAL APPOINTMENTS Experiencing anxiety, depression, hardship, grief or trauma, low self-esteem, relationship troubles, or looking to discuss life’s issues? I am here for you. Though you are the expert in your life, struggling with sadness, stress or helplessness can make it hard to know what to do. I am here to listen, support, challenge, and help you find your way. I provide you with a safe, accepting, compassionate environment to process, heal, and grow.

These brains of ours don't come with instruction manuals - figuring out how to navigate life is tough enough, but can sometimes seem impossible when we experience mental health difficulties. I specialize in working with people with anxiety, OCD, and BPD. Therapy can be a strange process, I try to make it simple and straightforward. We get to know each other, and figure out if we’re a good fit. We get a clear picture of what the problems are, and what’s going wrong (and what’s going right) in your life.

Immediate appointments available! Feeling overwhelmed by things everyone else seems to do easily? Avoiding doing things you want to do? Caught on a roller coaster of anger, sadness or shame? Are your relationships suffering? Has the "problem" taken over your life? Feeling stuck and confused about what to do or how to find help? I can help you figure out what's keeping the "problem" going and what your next steps might be. If your child or teen is struggling with anxiety, I can help you get things back on track.

I no longer take new clients for therapy and assessments until September 2023. I only work with children and adolescents (ages 3 to 19). I offer neuropsychological and psychoeducational assessments. I specialize in neurodevelopmental disorders like intellectual development disorders, ASD, ADHD, non-verbal and specific learning disorders, alcohol exposure or auditory processing disorder. In addition, I provide assessments for those who have a medical condition like epilepsy or traumatic brain injury. I also offer gifted and twice-exceptional assessments. These assessments can be completed in French or English.

As such, I offer a caring, compassionate, and inquiring atmosphere to foster an emotionally safe space for inner exploration of difficult feelings, experiences and memories.

Our experiences, choices and life circumstances can weigh heavily upon us. When our circumstances feel overwhelming and we struggle to see our way through the stress and pain, reaching out for support can lead us to an alternate path of peace, understanding and happiness. I work with youth, adults, families and couples seeking support with challenges such as: anxiety, depression, trauma and post-traumatic stress, interpersonal difficulties such as relationship distress, attachment injuries and problematic interpersonal patterns, sleep difficulties, stress and anger management.

We all go through challenging times in our lives. Many of us decide to seek counselling when we feel stuck, unsure how to move forward in a relationship with a spouse, child, sibling, or parent; or a colleague or co-worker. At these times, we can be anxious, depressed, angry, easily irritated, or simply depleted. Intense feelings or responses are often a sign that something important needs to be addressed.

We are living in a period of tremendous individual and collective transformation. Many are experiencing existential and spiritual crises that incite a process of profound changes. As a result the body, nervous system, psyche and soul can begin to undergo a normal and natural process of transformation, not that different from the metamorphosis of a caterpillar, the shedding of the skin of a snake, or the death and rebirth of a phoenix. This process has been well understood by Eastern traditions and shamanic cultures for millennia. Within the field of Transpersonal Psychology this process is known as spiritual emergency.
