Grief Therapists in Sarnia, ON

Currently accepting new clients! Reaching out for help can be difficult. I am here to hold space for your pain and walk alongside you in your healing journey. Let's create a collaborative relationship and use your strengths to navigate your problems. I often see clients who want to dig deeper into the "why" behind their choices and behaviours.

It’s become a complex world that we live in, but it doesn’t always have to feel that way. Trauma. Conflict. Discrimination. Bullying. Relationship issues. Addiction. Parenting. Where do we begin? I believe that given the proper tools to navigate these challenges, and an opportunity to communicate and problem solve, we can nurture ourselves back to a healthy and more resilient lifestyle! I am a passionate and committed clinician who enjoys building from the strengths of each client I meet. It’s important for me to provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment to nurture personal growth and healing.

Currently No Waitlist! Many times we find ourselves "stuck in a rut" not knowing how to address our challenges. It looks like we are separated from our goals and we are not sure how to move forward. Seeing a psychotherapist is like the process of crossing the bridge to freedom from "here" to "where you want/need to be". In my practice, I use a holistic treatment approach consisting of: psychotherapy , lifestyle management strategies (sleep, nutrition, physical exercise), building support and at client's request spiritual/ faith-based practice(s).

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.
