Therapists in Whitby, ON

Reaching out for psychological help and support is a courageous and challenging first step. I’m happy you found your way here. I hold space for you to show up as your true and authentic self, and tailor treatment to your specific therapeutic needs and goals. Whether you’re living with depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, suicidal ideation, or struggling with shame, self-acceptance/self-esteem, relationships, or life transitions - this is a safe space to process and work through all that life has thrown your way.

Problems are inevitable and normal in life, some can be small and some bigger than one can handle. At that time an extra set of hands surely help. I can be that extra set of hands to pick you up when you are down by listening to you without judging, guiding you to get back to the rhythm of life, and cheering you from side lines, using some time tested techniques that have helped many to overcome trauma, depression, anxiety, anger issues, addictions and grief, to name a few. I have helped many people in my 25 years of professional life in USA and Canada. I invite you to join me to explore your unending possibilities in life.

Namaste! I provide individual, relationship and marriage counselling, in a nonjudgmental, relaxed environment. Over the last 35 years I have worked with individuals and couples guiding, teaching and helping them by using an eclectic approach, and a variety of different types of modalities depending on the particular needs of my clients. I also provide family mediation and relationship counselling for couples who have split. I am a sex therapist, working with all couples and individuals. I specialize in many areas, as I believe all issues are connected, so to treat problems in isolation is unrealistic and can be short lived.

I am here to help you find your way through life's transitions, unmanageable stress, hopelessness, overwhelm, and anxiety. I will meet you where you are at, help you figure out where you want to be, and collaborate on how to help you get there. I am a guide for self-exploration, personal responsibility, and helping you to re-author the stories and narratives of your life. I am passionate about supporting caregivers who are assisting family members with disabilities, aging parents, and those struggling with fertility and all of the challenges and emotions that go along with that.

L’équilibre dans la vie est quelque chose que nous recherchons . Cependant, il est n’est pas toujours facile de le trouver et parfois on a besoin d’un peu d’aide pour y arriver. Mon rôle est de vous appuyer tout au long de ce chemin durant lequel pour pourrez non seulement trouver une meilleure façon de comprendre vos émotions et vos expériences. Je travaille depuis plusieurs années avec des familles au niveau des besoins en santé mentale mais surtout des questions liées a la culture, la stigmatisation et l’equite. Mon approche est sensible à la culture et axee sur le bien- être. Vous n'etes pas seul.

I offer services to teens, adults, and couples seeking support for anxiety, OCD, trauma, ADHD, depression, relational challenges, questions around identity and sexuality, and more. I practice from a trauma-informed and person-centered approach, which means our sessions are centered around you. I offer an informal style to therapy because lets be real, formal can be intimidating. Together we will create an environment where you feel comfort in having those uncomfortable conversations. Our sessions will offer you a space to tell your story and for it to be heard.

Are you going through a transition in your life? Do you want something different for yourself or for your relationships? Are you having racing thoughts, worrying about the future, feeling stuck and don't know where to go? Having the courage to ask for help is the first step. Beginning therapy can be a daunting task but here you are. You have made that first step toward healing and sometimes; that one step is all it takes. My goal as a therapist is to empower adults and seniors with the skills to overcome anger, fear, grief, pain, trauma, anxiety and depression.

You’re feeling stressed and overwhelmed and it causes you to overthink, "doom scroll", or lash out at others. The mere thought of work; seeing that person, or having that conversation seems too unbearable. When you get up the courage to do the ‘thing’, it feels like it never works out, leaving you feeling misunderstood, discouraged and stuck. You’re often told that you are “too much”. Over time, you’ve come to believe it, resent it and blame yourself. You spend so much time trying to be a version of yourself that is acceptable to others that at the end of the day you’re exhausted. And now you realize that it's time to make a change.
