Attachment-based Therapists in Oakville, ON
Our work together is to make room for what has been hurt and left unspoken, and it's where healing begins. It is about creating a space for being, listening inward, exploring practical solutions, and gently expanding internal capacities that a fulfilled life requires. So you can gradually reclaim your voice, desire, sense of aliveness, and capacity to flourish, while finding compassionate ways to live with life’s losses and limitations. We aim to co-create lasting change and peace through in-depth psychotherapy.
I specialize in PTSD, ADHD, grief, depression, anxiety, LGBTQIA+, and postpartum mental health.

Life can feel overwhelming when stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, or major life changes begin to affect your daily well-being. I work with adults, teens, and couples who are navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship challenges, ADHD, or major life transitions. Many people reach out when they feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Together, we work to understand what is contributing to these challenges while building practical skills for lasting change.

Do you struggle with anxiety, body image, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or feeling like you're never enough? These patterns often have deeper roots than we realize. If you grew up with emotionally immature, unavailable, or inconsistent caregivers, your attachment experiences may still be shaping how you see yourself, manage emotions, and navigate relationships. Therapy can help you heal these wounds, build self-worth, and develop a more secure relationship with yourself and others.

You're a woman between 39-50ish and something just feels OFF. It's definitely physical: the hot flashes, waking up in the night, can't remember anything, the weight gain, but it's also emotional: the mood swings, irritability, the burnout, the lack of motivation, the sense of just not feeling like yourself. You wonder if you're just "getting old", or maybe your hormones are out of whack? You are doing ALL the right things. You exercise, you eat clean, you have good relationships, a career, and just when you're starting to feel like you've got it figured out, the rollercoaster of emotions hits you. It's so incredibly frustrating.

You may be at a point where summer's pace feels like too much or too little, overstimulated by the busyness or unsettled by the shift in routine. The season invites lightness, yet underneath there may be restlessness, comparison, or a sense of falling behind. Old patterns may resurface even as everything around you feels louder and faster. My ideal client is ready to slow down within the noise, to understand what they are feeling, and reconnect with what matters. You are not just trying to keep up, but to move forward with more clarity, steadiness, and self-trust.

New July 2026 - Are you a successful, driven, Type A woman who built a full life - the marriage, the career, the carpool routine - and now find yourself yelling about a wet towel on the bed, crying in random parking lots, and lying awake at 3am googling "is this perimenopause?" Everyone says it's hormones, and maybe that's part of it - but the rage feels new, and so does bursting into tears at a commercial that's not very good. You power through on coffee and willpower, snapping at the people you love and feeling guilty. You've tried the self-help, the meditation, the walks, the clean eating - but nothing provides relief for long.
