Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Oakville, ON

I am a Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist in Ontario. I provide psychotherapy services from an anti-oppressive framework using a client-centered or family-centered approach to meet the various needs of my clientele. I specialize in trauma, relationship issues, domestic violence, PTSD, addiction, anxiety, attachment, grief and loss, and other mental health concerns. I utilize various treatment tools in individual or group settings, including, CBT, Narrative, EFT, Mindfulness , DBT, Strength and System approaches.

Sometimes life can be overwhelming and stressful, thus making it difficult to cope. Therefore, my hope is to help you work through some of your issues (i.e., anxiety, grief, loss) that you are struggling with by providing the skills, insight, and knowledge you need to lead a life you want. I know talking to someone about painful emotions and memories can be difficult so thank you for taking the first step to seeking help.

It is with great honour and respect that I guide people out of the maze of confusion, emotional distress and dissatisfaction towards a life with freedom of choice, joy and a state of well-being. It can take a lot of courage to admit that the resources and skills you have traditionally used to solve your problems are not sufficient in your current circumstances. To quote Albert Einstein, "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." I commend you for taking the first step into seeking support and guidance for yourself.

Currently accepting new clients for VIRTUAL sessions only. People come to therapy for different reasons - facing life transitions, parenting stress, family tension, infertilely/miscarriage/pregnancy loss, workplace conflict, grief & loss, relationship breakdown, feeling unlike yourself or simply lost. Our health & wellbeing is greatly impacted by our sense of stress, emotions, thoughts and behaviours. By exploring our inner world we can begin to understand ourselves better and make positive life changes.

I help clients who are tired of chronic dieting, over-exercising, binging, and otherwise missing out on the fullness of life that is found on the other side of these obsessions. If you are tired of starting diets and "failing" at them, or tired of saying "no" to all of the joy that life has to offer for the sake of your exercise obsession, then I can help you. I support clients who are exhausted by years of chronic dieting only to be perpetually the same weight (or more!) all the while continually missing out on all the experiences that life has to offer.

I believe we all have strength to change within ourselves to get through tough times in life. Sometimes we can do it on our own. Other times we need a helping hand. My aim is to assist you in finding that strength within you to make positive changes during challenging times.

Life experiences past and present can both can contribute to anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and grief.
