Attachment-based Therapists in Oakville, ON

The aftermath of traumatic and life changing events can show up in our lives and our bodies. The hypervigilance one needs to hold any sense of safety can become overwhelming and exhausting at times. Reaching out for support can feel like an impossible feat but it is important to know you are not alone and there are safe spaces to explore these challenges. With help, it is possible to carry these experiences differently. What you have experienced has shaped you but does not have to define you, your relationships, or your future.

I aim to work with you collaboratively to enable individuals to solve their social/emotional concerns. Over the years I’ve supported individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, stress management, coping skills, self harming behaviours, relationship issues and parent teen conflict. I understand stressors of life and how they may have an impact on individuals. Thus I seek to help individuals locate themselves in their daily situations, reflect and influence positive change.

To develop clear insight of awareness towards our instinctual values, I believe it is critical to embrace, validate and acknowledge one’s individuality. Helping clients process the primary distinction between self-identity and where they want to be, is based on genuinely empathizing and understanding ways that we can best serve clients by applying therapeutic modalities that address their biological, physical and social constraints.

The more we talk about things, the easier it becomes. Sometimes we fear that if we share difficult information we'll be negatively judged.

You're not feeling like yourself. Even though you put on a brave face, you question if anyone truly sees, hears, or understands you. In your most honest moments, you recognize that these feelings have been present for a while. Someone close to you— maybe a friend, family member, or even your partner— has suggested you might need some support. You've searched your symptoms online, yet you still feel uncertain about what you're experiencing. You've even attempted therapy before, but it felt like it barely scratched the surface. You're looking for something deeper, but don't know where to start. You're not alone in this experience.
