Therapists in Paris, ON

Many of us come to periods in our lives when we feel overwhelmed, confused or immobilized by our circumstances and our feelings. Or we reach a point in life when we know in our gut that something has to change, but we just don’t know where to begin. Doubt and negative self-talk can make us feel stuck. Sometimes we struggle with feelings of sadness, anger, shame or anxiety and can feel very alone in that struggle. Having a safe place to talk and a safe, non-judgmental person to talk to is key to healing and moving beyond the “stuck place”.

Here at Bloom Counselling & Psychotherapy we hold a strong belief that people are perfectly imperfect. They are beautiful and spectacular AND can become stuck, unhappy and unable to live a fulfilling life. That's where I come in. I too wear a lot of hats, I'm a new mom, a wife, a sister, a daughter, friend, psychotherapist, and above all, human. I know what it's like to feel stuck, hopeless, anxious, and overwhelmed. As a passionate Registered Social Service Worker and Psychotherapist, my experience professionally and personally allows me to understand the best ways to address each client's needs in an effective manner.

Our lives are not entirely defined by what has happened to us but rather by how we choose to make sense of it and who we choose to be as a result.

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk to blossom” -Anais Nin. I can appreciate how difficult it is to make the first steps in entering into a therapeutic relationship. Telling our stories takes tremendous courage and strength.

I create a safe and open space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and stories. I combine several therapeutic techniques, to allow you the freedom to share your journey.
