Attachment-based Therapists in Whitby, ON

My approach to therapy is holistic, client-centered, trauma-informed, and grounded in empathy and compassion, respect, and non-judgment. I believe everyone has a unique story to tell, and my goal is to listen, hold safe space, and validate your experiences and the worldviews that influence your identity and sense of self. I believe therapy is a collaborative journey of growth and discovery, and feel grateful to walk alongside you as you learn, heal, develop greater self-awareness, and begin to make positive changes in your life and relationships.

I work with children, pre-teens, young adults and adults. I am integrative therapist who likes to help clients improve their emotional self-awareness, reduce anxious thoughts and depressive symptoms. I provide couples counselling to support couples build emotional connection towards each other, identify negative patterns and learn new skills for conflict resolution. I listen without judgement and help my clients process their traumatic experience, explore their strengths and support their needs to foster change through compassion and acceptance.

I am passionate about treating children, youth, and their families using approaches that are tailored to best meeting client’s unique needs and challenges. I am dedicated to meeting clients where they are at, and working with clients to create opportunity for them to be the person they want to be in life. I practice from a psychodynamic lens while including expressive arts and play therapy. It is a pleasure to be welcomed into a clients life, and be trusted with their experience, relationships and emotions. I take pride in offering a safe space for clients to explore these emotions freely, honestly and without judgment.

Do you feel like your mental health is getting in the way of accomplishing what you want, or your relationships?

I work with clients to help you explore your thoughts and feelings, and work together to build a toolbox of strategies that work for you. I can work with you to explore your past relationships to help you feel more safe and secure moving forward, or we can focus more on exploring solutions that work best for you – therapy is your time, and you have control in every step of the process.

If you are struggling with worry, stress, parenting challenges, divorce, relationship issues, codependency, loss or grief, you are not alone. I provide a supportive, non-judgemental and safe space, meeting you where you are in your life and your relationships with the focus on developing greater self-awareness, understanding of your emotions, learning coping skills, and improving your relationships with others and yourself.

Many of the problems we experience in life can be traced back to parts of ourself that are wounded or not properly integrated. I help you to reflect and make sense of your experience, and to work through areas of your life that bring discomfort. In moving through these discomforts/stuck areas in a new way, you release these wounds, become free from their grasp & move into more aligned, embodied & authentic living. We cannot fully integrate (become whole in our life) unless we heal and integrate all parts (this includes shadow work, healing parental and childhood wounds, ego work, sacred sexuality, reprogramming belief systems).

Does life feel controlled by your emotions? Maybe it’s as anxiety: feeling so overwhelmed by stress, worry, or racing thoughts that it feels impossible to slow down. Perhaps you no longer feel the energy or motivation you used to—it’s a struggle to even get out of bed (if you slept at at all). You’re noticing the ways experiences from your past are playing out in your relationships, but don’t know how to change it. It’s like you don’t recognize yourself anymore. Things used to be different, and you want to get back to the kind of life you know is possible. You just need some support to get there.
