Indigenous Peoples Therapists in Ridgeway, ON
I employ common sense strategies that allow my clients to implement new ways of seeing the world in a positive light. I'll tell you that the most powerful tool on earth is the human mind but nobody ever gave us the operations manual. I see myself as a mechanic of sorts, offering information from the minds operational handbook, allowing you to switch off the auto pilot and switch on your self determination to overcome adversity and accomplish more. And for what it's worth, I won't shy away from politically incorrect responses. The world can be harsh and I won't sugar coat it unless it's necessary to protect you from imminent harm.

You're not a potential client to me. You're a human. You're probably tired. And you're brave enough to be out here asking for help. Let me tell you a little about myself.
I provide inclusive, affirming support for people who haven't felt 'seen' in traditional therapy. If you need support understanding a new diagnosis of autism or ADHD, if you're burnt out and need to unmask in safety, you've come to the right place. If you are neurodivergent, 2SLGBTQ, asexual, non-monogamous or part of the kink/BDSM community ... me too :) Welcome.
You don't have to waste time explaining, I'm here and I'm ready to listen.

Currently accepting virtual clients. It can be difficult to find a culturally sensitive counsellor who understands the affects of colonization and systemic racism and the trauma that it has caused, who also understands the struggles of questioning your identity. I offer a solution that could help, sometimes we hold trauma in our nervous systems and this can make things difficult for us. You have the power to release some of that trauma and you don't have to do it alone.

It's not just you, life HAS gotten harder in the last few years. If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.
