Codependency Therapists in Vaughan, ON

Whether your story includes trauma, anxiety, feelings of being stuck, struggles with eating disorders, relationship challenges, codependency , a desire to explore your own identity, or any of the many facets of life that impact us, healing and empowerment are possible. I create a space that welcomes the emotions that might have felt too heavy to carry, and too overwhelming to face alone. In this space, my goal is to support you in healing wounds, learn supportive coping skills, better understand feelings, communicate in new ways, and unlearn the patterns that no longer serve you, and instead learn to envision and your wholeness.

Clients who want to dig deeper and understand the root of their reactions/concerns are clients who tend to love therapy with me. For these clients, it's about the experience of self-understanding, compassion, and clarity that leads to healing. Clients who need someone to understand where they are coming from, who do not want advice or opinions, rather to be heard and understood and to understand themselves better.

Your healing matters. Everyone has a life story and I’m interested in learning about yours and how you got to where you are today. As a therapist, I take a holistic approach and offer several different treatment modalities to help you discover your path to healing and goals for a life lived deeply and with meaning. I believe in a client-centred approach and provide a warm, empathic, caring and non-judgemental space to help you meet your goals.

Are you feeling lost? Isolated? A deepened sadness that no matter what you do, nothing seems to change it? Do you carry the weight of worry? Or struggle with loss? How about searching for meaning or a new direction in your life? If this resonates with you, therapy might be worth exploring! Choosing to begin therapy can be daunting, but it doesn’t have to be when you have someone walking alongside of you on this road. My focus is to help individuals, couples, and families heal, focus on strengths, and work side by side to redefine their path and journey.

My approach to therapy is humanistic and client-centered, meaning I seek to empower you with the capacity to discover your own strength and resilience in the face of your challenges. I incorporate tenets from a variety of modalities including narrative therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and mindfulness interventions, as we work together to determine a fitting path for you. I believe that counselling is a collaborative process, and strive to cultivate a trusting, respectful, strong therapeutic alliance.

I share a common human experience with my clients and appreciate our journeys. Maybe you're considering therapy to connect with someone non-judgmental and outside your personal support system; you're feeling uneasy or worrying about life; you're withdrawing from others and no longer find joy and pleasure; substance use or a habitual behaviour is getting in the way of meaningful relationships and meeting life’s challenges; or you experienced a major event in your life and you're feeling overwhelmed. We will endeavour to understand these challenges and I will support you in taking steps that would benefit you.

It may not be easy to overcome life’s challenges on your own and reaching for help is an essential step for change. You might struggle with upsetting emotions and conditions as Anxiety, Panic, Anger, Guilt, Grief, Depression, Trauma. Or you might be having difficulty adjusting to a major life change, wishing to establish healthier relationships. You may want to be more assertive and live your life fully. We can find a healing path forward. My passion and commitment is to help identify, address, and resolve barriers that get in a way of fulfillment and ease in your life.

For many, therapy is sought out because of a crisis situation. It is difficult to live with feelings of anxiety, anger and despair. These feelings can affect your marriage, family, children and work life by creating conflict. It is my hope to restore a sense of calm during this time of self discovery and support you through life's challenges. I will offer you realistic, easy to use tools and strategies that can work to repair and enhance your relationships. Learn to set boundaries, repair and recover from infidelity, manage anger and build trust in a safe and compassionate environment.

I am a CRPO Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) at Your Story Counselling Services in Vaughan, ON. My approach involves treating every client with respect, compassion, empathy, understanding and acceptance, no matter what their story is. I’m here to provide you with a safe space to share your unfiltered thoughts, opinions, and experiences. If you’re a Millennial trying to make it, I understand what it is like to be the new lost generation. The world of work, the realities of dating, the pressures of goals and dreams, and societal and parental expectations, can make life overwhelming.

***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.

Working alongside my clients, my mission is to create and nurture trusting relationships so we can uncover, understand, and heal the concerns and pains that have led to difficulty and dissatisfaction in their lives. Using an integrative, client-focused, and person-centered approach, my goal is to ensure that each person who comes into my office is treated as an individual with a story and history as unique as their fingerprint.

Congratulations on taking the first step towards self-discovery! I know that finding a therapist can be intimidating with a seemingly endless list of options to choose from. I may be the right fit for you if you’re seeking someone who is open-minded, warm, nonjudgmental and will you make feel heard, supported, yet challenged in ways you may have not been before. Perhaps you’re going through a difficult life transition, struggling with relationship issues or simply feeling like something is missing in your life.

I have firsthand experience of what it’s like to be in unhealthy relationships and struggle with overwhelming thoughts and feelings. When we don’t feel comfortable to express our emotions and don’t feel safe enough to experience the kind of intimacy we desire, it creates stress, anxiety, anger, and depression, which can lead to issues in our friendships and at work. I have spent nearly a decade seeking out knowledge and understanding about love and relationships. This has led to a deep desire to support others who also long to leave behind their toxic relationships and experience love, safety, connection, and intimacy.

There is something unique about each and every one of us that the world needs and I look forward to working alongside you to increase your awareness, your autonomy, and your view of self to enable you to live the life you would like to live; whether this is knowing how to manage your anxiety, or gaining control over a substance, or working through grief, I look forward to working alongside you to get you to living a healthy and wholesome life. I like to empower my clients to remain autonomous in their journey and to stay committed to their goals. Feel free to reach out to me as you embark on this journey.

Accepting Clients! Kudos to you for taking this next step. It's been challenging to feel, communicate, understand, and function, and you're unsure of where to turn. You're struggling to sleep, manage your stress, and your anxiety is overwhelming. Perhaps you have days when getting out of bed has no purpose, or you've forgotten what it feels like to have meaning in life. Despite all that, you want change - to feel better, empowered, in control, and have a deeper sense and understanding of who you are. You want to learn to accept the things you cannot change, and come to love and value what is. I'm glad you've taken this step.

I support persons who are navigating a variety of life stressors. Anxiety and depression plague many I serve, as they navigate grief/loss, adapting after a traumatic event, major life changes or personal realizations. I have a working knowledge of the social and community systems that persons I serve often intersect with (ie. education, family law, criminal law, hopsitals, children's aid) and work collaboratively with people to find their voice, engage in self care and advocacy in a concerted effort to invite optimal outcomes.
