Therapists in Niagara Falls, ON

I focus heavily on your individual values and helping you discover a meaning-centered life. I believe that therapies and the therapeutic relationship are as unique as the individual, while one style may suit you, it may not suit others. I am mindful of each individual who walks through the door.

Coming to the realization that reaching out for help is necessary, can be both cathartic and scary. Choosing a counsellor also has its challenges of being the right one. A positive therapeutic bond,or fit with a counsellor,can affect the outcome of the experience. It has been my privilege to help thousands of individuals, couples and groups throughout my lengthy career of 33+ years in Child Welfare, private practise and university settings. I have learned that although we share human experiences our uniqueness sets us apart from others. I treat my clients respectfully, with care and unconditional positive regard and advocacy.

You hate looking at yourself in the mirror due to a distorted body image. You are anxious around food and how many calories are in it.

Every day seems like a burden that takes all your energy. You struggle to thrive in your daily life due to poor self-esteem or confidence. Does this sound like you or someone you know? I may be able to help you. Contact me for a free consultation to see if I would be a good fit for you.

When people experience life stressors or trauma, it is not uncommon to stumble, become immobilized, or even unravel. My great passion is walk alongside people in dark chapters of their lives, to help them to dismantle obstacles, to move towards healthier functioning and healing. I help my clients, who include children, teens, adults and families, to find healthy perceptions of themselves and strengthen their relationships so they can accept and know themselves as whole, peaceful, and complete.

You are here because you may be seeking transformative change, driven by a deep desire for healing, growth, and personal empowerment.

What can I say here? For some people, everything in life fell in line exactly how they hoped it would. For most of us though, things happened along the way that irrevocably transformed the kind of person we were meant to be. While we can never go back, we can work together to understand what happened, how you're feeling now, and how we can make you feel better. I know how hard it can be to take that first step, but I'm here for you when you're ready. I believe in the principle that people don't need "fixing," they need understanding, support and compassion.

It isn't easy to ask for help. Stressors come at us from so many directions. Issues such as depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflict and job and family stress keep us from living the kind of life that we had hoped for.

I support individuals, 13+, navigate life transitions and work with clients struggling with symptoms from trauma, anxiety disorders and mood disorders. I hold additional certifications in the field of trauma and my practice is deeply rooted in a trauma-informed perspective. My aim is to make you feel at home, explore your inner strengths, dial down the noise of those tough thoughts and feelings, and increase feelings of happiness within. My style is collaborative, laid-back, and relational. Therapy is not meant to be stressful!

As a therapist I strive to create an environment in which people are supported and empowered to create their own pathways forward. I believe that engaging in therapy can be one of the most rewarding and beneficial self-care practices. I work with clients to assess their negative and often distorted beliefs and unhelpful behaviour which can keep them feeling down and stuck. I firmly believe that every human being has the capacity to fulfill his or her own potential, in order to lead happier and healthier lives. I offer clients genuine empathy and unconditional positive regard in order to facilitate change.
