Therapists in Oro Station, ON

The ripple effect of addiction and mental health issues can hold us hostage, interfering in our ability to live fulfilling lives and develop meaningful connections with others. Many harbour a sense of shame reflective of stigma which serves to silence and with that dismiss both the severity and prevalence. It is common to have developed and maintained coping mechanisms that no longer serve a purpose yet have become habitual and with that familiar. Therapy is a place where thoughts and feelings are explored, validated, and with that normalized. Healing occurs through self-discovery and the sense of empowerment that accompanies this.

I am a certified Sex Addiction therapist. My primary area of work is directed to Sex and Pornography Addiction, Partner Betrayal Trauma, Intimacy and Attachment disorders, and the resulting complications from sexual compulsivity. I also practice EMDR trauma therapy to assist clients in processing traumatic events. Through the careful construction of an empathetic counselling relationship I am able to provide therapy for individuals, partners, and couples suffering the consequences of sex and pornography addiction as well as trauma that may, or may not be, related to the sexual challenges. I provide online counselling across Canada.

At the core of my practice is the belief in the inherent strength and worthiness of all people. I work to create an environment absolutely free of judgement, where each person is respected and valued as an individual. I am a strong advocate for normalizing therapy and mental health care. I believe in a strengths focused approach and utilize evidence-based therapies. I integrate my experiences with substance abuse, family violence and loss into helping my clients find success through troubled times. As such, I am passionate about working with couples and families in particular. Individual teens, adults and elders are also welcome.

With compassion and empathy, and through a unique blend of psychology and alternative/holistic therapies, I support people in transforming their lives from places of pain and suffering, to journeys of growth, healing, and valued-living. I feel honoured and humbled to bare witness to their story, acknowledging the amount of strength and courage it takes to share such intimate and private details of their life.

We explore what matters most to you so you can take action steps toward a life rooted in your values to create the life you love, now!

If disordered eating, anxiety, or mood-related concerns are affecting your life, or if you are a parent of a teen/young adult who is struggling in these areas – I'd love to help. Together, we can work on understanding how certain thoughts and behaviour patterns are showing up and keeping you stuck, and work towards empowering you to develop more effective tools for coping. And if you are feeling hesitant or unsure where to begin - that's okay too. We can start where you are at, explore these feelings together, and move forward at a pace that feels right for you. Let's rediscover what brings smiles, balance and meaning to your life!

I work with clients who are finding their true identity and ready to release any aspect of themselves and their story that no longer serve them. This includes clients that have unresolved experiences from their recent or distant past that would like professional guidance in processing such from a trauma-informed and empathic lens. Clients that are ready for change and able to dedicate their energy to their own healing, in and out of session, with my support. Clients that may feel stuck, low-mood, unmotivated or confused in how to progress in life but are feeling called to evolve into a fulfilled & grateful version of themselves.
