Female Therapists in Niagara on the Lake, ON

I look forward to speaking with you about your specific interests and concerns. After our initial meeting, we will have a clearer understanding of your expectations and hopes for this work. At that time, we can develop a plan to help you work toward meeting identified goals for service. Many people find it useful to attend a few sessions and then to put what has been learned into practice in everyday life - they often return for ‘tune-ups’ over the years. Others prefer to attend sessions on a more regular basis over a longer period of time. Whatever service you choose, it will be custom designed to fit your goals and preferences.

Do you feel lost, in pain, or just want to work on your growth, self-development and self-esteem? Did you experience trauma (or traumas), grief, and feel stuck? Are you a survivor of violence, abuse, and feel like you will never feel better? Or are you a parent whose child is experiencing mental health issues, or struggling developmentally? Are you a caregiver of a family member with terminal illness or deteriorating condition? Did you try traditional "talk therapies" and feel that you may try something different? I will be happy to meet you and find ways to facilitate changes in your life. I believe Incan help you.

Thank you for considering me as your therapist to accompany you on your life's journey. It's an honor and the culmination of my life's work. Together, we can identify challenges and unhelpful patterns, dismantling longstanding barriers that may have hindered your path. I believe that each of us possesses the untapped potential and capacity for profound joy, but life's challenges and negative patterns can obscure this truth. In our collaborative journey, we'll explore what serves you in life and what might be obstructing your way, paving a path to self-discovery and inner peace.

Using a contemporary and highly personalized approach to therapy, the Therapists at Niagara on the Lake Counselling offer individuals – across the lifecycle – a safe, respectful and inclusive space where they are supported and heard.

Imagine what it would feel like to begin moving from your hurt towards hope? Providing support for your healing process in a calm, non-judgemental space, is something I consider a privilege to be part of, as your therapist. By taking an active role in your life, and talking to a therapist, you are investing in yourself, your relationship, and your family. Clients will be provided with a safe space to reflect on, and process presenting issues and behaviours that may be affecting life. I will work with you to set goals, coping skills, and strategies towards areas of life you would like to modify for better quality of living.

Maybe you're not feeling like yourself lately (worried, sad, irritable, lonely, stressed). Feeling like this can be exhausting. Maybe you have thought of reaching out for help, but even just the thought of that overwhelms you. Let me start by saying that you are not alone! Symptoms of anxiety and depression tend to keep us feeling stuck, creating negative thoughts of self, and preventing us from doing what we need the most...connecting. What 'they' don't want you to know is that when you find the courage to reach out, you are opening the door to new possibilities. You matter and you deserve to feel better! Together, you can heal.

I believe that anyone can benefit from counselling. We all have our struggles and sometimes talking with someone in a safe, supportive and confidential environment can help to see things differently, develop new skills to put toward problems, and create new meaning about your own personal story. The most important factor in the therapeutic relationship, as in any relationship, is feeling safe and understood. I offer a warm, non-judgmental and open space in which to deepen your self-awareness and reach your goals.

People see you as the one who has it all together, but deep down you feel like something is missing, you have feelings of shame and thoughts like "I'm not good enough". You're tired, over-worked, overwhelmed and anxious much of the time. Putting up this facade is taking a toll on your emotional health. Constantly striving to do it all is exhausting and not fulfilling for you.
