Therapists in Stratford, ON

**See our website for other therapists accepting new clients** I am mental health therapist as well as a multi-faith spiritual and religious care provider (also known as a chaplain). My strength is working with anyone's faith and spirituality to help them with their mental health and spiritual journey. I work with all faiths and religious. In my practice, I see each client as a complex and unique person with stories, worldviews, and challenges. My goal is to aid you in accessing your inner resources such as the experiences you cultivate from your stories and the beliefs that find root in your worldviews to cope with challenges.

Sometimes , the journey of life can be a rough one. You feel lost, defeated, alone, and full of fear. But you haven’t given up. There’s a part of you that tells you that somehow there’s still hope, that you just need a helping hand.

Life comes with its ups and downs, and at times it can be difficult to process and cope with our thoughts and emotions during these hardships. Together, we can work through these challenges and find strategies to help you address the root causes of these difficulties while finding ways to cope and move forward. I feel that while embarking on this journey it is important to build a positive and healthy relationship with oneself. Through increasing self-awareness and self-compassion, you can truly love yourself fully and improve your mood and mindset. "When things change inside you, things change around you."

Whether you’re struggling with a specific mental health challenge, or are seeking support to improve your life and relationships, our team of therapists will meet you where you are and use our knowledge and experience to help you cope, process, grow and heal. We will use a variety of evidence-based approaches to help you feel more in control of your behaviour, to feel less overwhelmed by emotions, to understand yourself more, and to feel more satisfied and joyful in your life.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, hopeless or coping with a loss? Reaching out for support is a courageous first step towards making changes or healing from a loss. When we are experiencing challenges, transitions or loss, we can benefit from an opportunity to explore what is impacting our well-being and to reflect on what we have lost and what remains. You don't have to go through such challenges alone. My passion for my work, combined with unique skillset and expertise can help you find clarity, overcome obstacles, and live your life with more ease, acceptance and meaning.

Healing comes with Acceptance: First, we work on raising awareness of your unhelpful thoughts and core beliefs coming from your childhood and leading to severe mental issues, like depression and anxiety. Then we work on acknowledging and accepting those thoughts and feelings. I am here to help you recognize how you have developed these thoughts and how they affect your feelings and behaviors. You just need believe in yourself and in the benefit of psychotherapy. It is important to approach therapy without bias and doubt both in you and in the therapist.

***ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS: IN-PERSON & PHONE/VIDEO*** We believe that there is good in every person, and hope in every situation. We have helped individuals, couples, and families heal, grow, and connect. As relational therapists, we appreciate the impact that our relationships have on our well-being. We do not see clients as having something wrong with their minds that necessarily needs to be fixed. Rather, we see our clients as unique individuals, each with their own stories and perspectives, embedded in important relationships and contexts that impact them. We see strengths and we see hope, even when it feels like there is none.

I have extensive knowledge in many different types of therapy and I tailor my approach to address your unique needs and goals. I will help you gain new perspectives and skills that will create lasting change and get you to where you want to be.
