Therapists in Simcoe, ON

I work in a private, rural setting, drawing clients from Haldimand-Norfolk County. My clientele is of all ages, with various mental health challenges. I primarily use Cognitive Behaviourial Therapy. Many of my clients are coping with negative emotional and physical symptoms of anxiety, depression, chronic pain, insomnia and abuse. Many are challenged to control overwhelming emotions such as anger, guilt and shame. Many clients are struggling to accept major adjustments in their lives or are struggling to make decisions or solve problems in personal and professional areas of their lives.

I presently exclusively offer online sessions while working closely with a dedicated team at Strength Counselling Services. I'm dedicated to championing transformative change for those seeking a richer quality of life. Navigating life's challenges, be it with youth or adults, CNM relationships, family dynamics, or facing grief, trauma, anxiety, or depression, demands expertise. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or grappling with personal or relational difficulties, know that you're not alone. I bring empathy, understanding every journey's uniqueness. My approach is rooted in nonjudgmental, social justice, and equity principles.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, challenging relationships, loss of a sense of self, or trauma that affects your day-to-day life or relationships? Do you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, frustrated, lost by what it means to live up to someone else’s standards, just getting through the day, or the thought that there’s no light at the end of the tunnel? Do you hope that your days could be better? Now more than ever, children, teens, and adults are feeling uncertain. Not addressing these everyday challenges can lead to decreased quality of life. I believe there is hope and answers to having the life you deserve.

I work with all stages of the life cycle with a particular focus on children, youth and families. I help individuals figure out what goals they wish to achieve and support them to make a plan of how to get there. It is wonderful to talk to family and friends but they are often not "neutral" in terms of the support they provide. Having someone to talk to outside that circle to listen, reframe what is going on and offer strategies can be invaluable!

Are you experiencing barriers impacting your sexual relationship with yourself and others? As a sex therapist, I passionately support individuals, partners and polycules in prioritizing pleasure, becoming more empowered in their sexual experiences and enhancing sexual wellness. While every individual's journey is unique, common areas of support I offer include navigating sexual trauma, dismantling shaming narratives around sex and pleasure, desire related concerns, arousal and orgasm difficulties, sexual and pelvic pain, and exploring new relationship structures.

Perhaps you are wondering if you have the strength, resources, or ability to navigate your challenging situation or relationship. Perhaps you feel stuck in negative patterns of thinking or acting. Perhaps you are struggling with depression, anxiety, or emotional distress. Perhaps you have experienced trauma, either recently or in your past, and you notice the impact it still has on you today. It is helpful to be aware of how our past experiences and relationships help to create patterns, some positive and some that indicate areas where we need to grow. Whatever your reason for seeking counselling, I applaud you for taking this step.

I offer BOTH in person or virtual appointments. I specialize in working with parental and perinatal mental health, anxiety, stress, and trauma. I offer compassion and understanding to create a safe environment to explore difficult issues and intense emotions. Being a parent can be so challenging especially when we are fighting with our own mental health. By working together we can move towards healing. Therapy can kick start our journey of parenthood, self-acceptance, autonomy, purpose in life, positive relations, change and happiness.

I believe that therapy is a team effort, where both the client and the therapist have a lot to contribute to the process. My passion in life is helping and supporting people, so if you would like counselling or have any questions about the process, I would be happy to talk with you.

Through a collaborative, non judgemental approach to counselling based on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and grounded in attachment science, I work with Individuals (16+), Couples and Families. By identifying unhealthy patterns in our current and past relationships with ourselves and others, we can often find room for healing, growth and enhanced authenticity. This approach can help address today’s mental health challenges including depression, anxiety, addiction, and even trauma, as well as all forms of relational challenges.
