Green Shield Canada Therapists in Newmarket, ON
At times, we can find ourselves dealing with thoughts, feelings and life events that leave us experiencing profound emotions like loss, confusion or sadness. Whether the cause is based on childhood events, relationships, work or some unexpected occurrence, the effects are often fairly similar. It may be useful to consider that the goal of therapy is to bring about some kind of change - for example, going from where you are now (distress) to where you want to be (calm and centred). It's a life-changing journey I have had the privilege to accompany many clients on.

You may feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally stuck—tired of repeating old patterns. Perhaps you’re navigating a life transition, relationship issues, or lingering trauma. You want clarity, inner peace, and a safe space to process what’s hard. Whether you’re an adult feeling burnt out or an adolescent seeking direction and identity, you’re craving grounded, compassionate support. You want to better understand yourself, heal what’s beneath the surface, and finally feel free to live more authentically and connected to who you are.

Together, we’ll move at your pace, in your time, toward meaningful and lasting change.

What if your or your partner’s anger is actually a desire for a deeper connection? It’s a paradox that angry reactions push our partners/family/friends away when what we need is closeness. Hurt or fear could be behind anger. Or perhaps underlying depression, anxiety or trauma. Anger could be expressed harshly, silently or many ways in between; either way it builds walls. Whatever stands in the way of better connections can be uprooted and healed. Negative emotions and walls of anger don’t have to remain. You can overcome them and build the relationships you have longed for.

If you are feeling emotionally exhausted, stuck in relationship patterns, or carrying ongoing resentment that has built over time, therapy can offer a space to slow things down and gain clarity. I work with adolescents and adults navigating relationship stress, anxiety, grief, anger, emotional overwhelm, and the impact of long-term relational strain, as well as couples experiencing high conflict or disconnection.

Perhaps you can pinpoint the exact event when things changed, or perhaps it happened over time. Either way, you feel stuck, alone or like you don’t know who you are anymore. You constantly feel overwhelmed and you find yourself unable to focus or relax. Your reactions can feel overly intense: sometimes you know what triggered you, sometimes you don’t, and yet other times it feels like everything is a trigger. Maybe this brings up beliefs of “something’s wrong with me” or “I’m broken.” You find yourself trying to numb those memories, thoughts and feelings with anything that can distract you. But this is not how you want things to be.

Trauma, addiction, and mental health struggles are all too familiar for countless people in Canada. These challenges often feel like overwhelming mountains, blocking the light and making it hard to see the path ahead. Yet, there is no reason for anyone to walk this path alone. My approach to holistic care is neither formulaic nor prescriptive. Rather, it is compassionate and patient. I blend evidence-based therapies, such as CBT, ACT, DBT with somatic techniques and energy medicine to nurture and support one meaningful step at a time.

If you are struggling with substance use, addictive patterns, or the push and pull of recovery, you may feel overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or unsure where to begin. Addiction often carries shame, confusion, and self doubt, especially when it intersects with identity, culture, family expectations, or past experiences. You are not alone, and you do not need to have everything figured out to start therapy.
