Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Vaughan, ON
For over 10 years, I have worked with individuals experiencing: Anxiety and Depression, PTSD, Personality Disorders, Addictions and relationship problems.
Have you been feeling stuck in a cycle you can’t seem to break out of? Do you experience overwhelming feelings of anxiety, depression, frustration, anger, grief, shame or rejection? Are these feelings negatively impacting your relationships and causing unwanted conflict? Do you feel like a victim of trauma? You may think to yourself: “what’s wrong with me, why can’t I get over this?” Self blaming or avoiding uncomfortable thoughts and feelings may provide temporary relief but will create long-term challenges. Thankfully, there’s a way to change your narrative and experience mental, emotional and relational freedom.

The mental health professionals at The Dot are trained in many different approaches to therapy that can help with issues related to trauma, grief, relationship issues (yes we do couples counselling) depression, anxiety and more.
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.

I work with adults on an individual basis, who experience a wide range of concerns: depression, anxiety, sexual concerns, burnout, insecurities, past emotional wounds, family issues and more, using psychodynamic, gestalt, attachment-based and trauma-informed therapies.
Do you feel stuck, stressed, anxious, lonely, empty or overwhelmed? Are you struggling with finding your voice, wanting more from your relationships or trying to navigate the intricate terrain of emotions, trauma, and loss? Life can be tough and confusing, and I am here to offer safety and support for you to sit and turn inwards. I believe that relief, healing and growth comes from self-understanding, cultivating innate internal resources, breaking self-defeating cycles, and improving relationship dynamics. In therapy, we will look at who you are, what you want and what you need.
