Therapists in Whitby, ON

I collaborate with clients to identify the roadblocks that prevent them from living their best life; one with intention, meaning and happiness. Paying attention to things that are impacting our well-being - trauma, mood instability, sleep disturbance, anxiety/stress, interpersonal concerns, life transitions - is imperative to help us move beyond them.

Life can feel like an overwhelming and challenging journey at times. Stressors and difficult life events, along with strong emotions such as depression and anxiety, can make it hard to function in day-to-day life and can impact one’s self esteem and confidence. By addressing difficult and strong emotions, self defeating thoughts and self-sabotaging behaviors, life can be made more manageable, productive and fulfilling. I’m dedicated to helping support individuals develop a deeper understanding of themselves, increasing their personal growth/development and to make meaningful change in their life.

My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I also work with individuals experiencing a variety of other concerns.

I view my clients through a holistic lens and understand that many variables (culture, social, biological, and cognitive) impact their overall health and well-being. My approach to therapy is multidimensional; I know that no one therapeutic approach will fit everyone - you deserve to work with a therapist who honors and appreciates your unique needs.

There's a place in you that's still. Calm. Quiet. Effortless. Powerful. I promise you. That place is in all of us. Maybe you've been there before. Lucky you. You have a recollection of what that place felt like and yearn to go back. Maybe you never have. All the more reason to find it. "Life is a good teacher and a good friend". Doesn't always feel that way, I know. Life can bring us to our knees. Wherever you find yourself now, I promise you there is hope. The possibility exists of befriending life and finding that place.

Currently offering remote sessions (phone and video call). Accepting new clients. When most clients come to me they don't know where to start. Things have been difficult and they haven't been able to overcome their problems alone or with their friend's advice. My clients need someone to listen, someone who knows about the fake face, someone who can help them understand "why"; and help them find a way to get healthy. I have a Masters in Counseling Psychology from OISE | UofT the University of Toronto where I learned to use research-supported methods to help clients be empowered. Clients are always the experts on themselves.

Hello! I am a Registered Psychotherapist working at New Roots Therapy. I have worked with concerns related to mood/stress disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Having the opportunity to work with those who are in a vulnerable situation, has allowed myself to understand the importance of working with client’s strengths in order to create a collaborative and meaningful experience. Individuals have solutions to the challenges they face but are often unaware of them and are intimidated by the complexity of a system that can seem daunting. I am here to assist navigate this system in a way that makes sense to you.

The difficult emotions you might be feeling, such as anxiety, sadness, resentment, guilt, or overwhelm to name a few, are guides that are here to tell you something about your experiences or your beliefs. When ignored, they get louder, when avoided, more painful. I will seek to understand your experience, and go at your pace, as you tell the stories of what is happening for you, and what has happened. When we face together, what is painful and confusing alone, new realizations and understanding can emerge.
