Attachment-based Therapists in Oakville, ON
I work from the perspective that we’re all managing something, no matter what age. Whether it’s worries, relationship challenges, or problems with learning. Sometimes we need help understanding what it is that’s happening for us, while other times we understand the challenge, but not how to make changes. I meet you wherever it is you’re at, whether you’re seeking help for yourself or for your child.

It takes courage to reach out for support when not knowing what to do. That can be quite a lonely and painful experience, together with feeling disconnected, stuck and overwhelmed. You can get a better understanding of your feelings and behaviors, see how you are entrenched in your own patterns or how you get in your own way, process past experiences and just talk about heavy stuff without feeling like a burden. This work can bring you closer to understanding and experiencing your authentic self.

Do you feel like your mind never shuts off? Like no matter how hard you try, the stress, the worry, or the self-doubt just won’t go away?

Are you facing grief and loss due to the death of a loved one, a divorce, separation, empty nest, or another life-altering transition? Often, grievers worry they are handling it incorrectly or wonder if their experience is normal. Many of us are unprepared for the pain that grief brings and lack the knowledge needed to navigate its wild nature. Perhaps your transition is causing a ruptured sense of self, loneliness, and uncertainty. As Carl Jung said, 'Embrace your grief, for there your soul will grow.'

Living through times of change is challenging! Whether you are dealing with the loss of a marriage or trying to cope with the death of a loved one, times of change are confusing and filled with uncertainty. Questions like, "How do I get to where I want to go?" and "How will I live beyond the pain?" do not seem to have easy answers and often times, talking to a friend or a loved one is not enough. Engaging in a therapeutic relationship can assist you to unleash the past, live in the present and create new dreams for the future.

Thank you for visiting my profile! Have you always been a worrier? Do you feel stressed and overwhelmed? You are not enjoying life the way you should be. Sometimes your past comes back to haunt you, which adds to your stress. You are coping the best you can, but it feels like nothing is working. We will work together to create a comfortable, safe space for you to feel heard. This allows you to increase your awareness of thoughts, feelings, and body experiences to figure out what is working and what could use some help. Sometimes we focus on the here and now, while other times the focus is on deeper work related to the past.
