Couples Counselling Therapists in Woodbridge, ON

My Passion is to deliver a message of HOPE to people that I come across. I personally believe that Hope can light a candle in the darkest point of life. Hope is what we all need in order to have a more positive look at life in general and be empowered to make constructive changes and live with a positive attitude. With the increasing challenges in our world and the fact that we are not immune to life's surprises and shocks, our days are becoming more stressful which make us sometimes pay heavy price....

Hello and welcome! I offer services to children, adolescents, adults, couples and families for a range of issues such as anxiety, depression, postpartum depression, sexual abuse, poor body image, eating disorders, addictions, low self-esteem, loss and grief and other mental health concerns. I believe that each person is a unique individual with their own personality, thoughts, feelings, and experiences. In therapy, I view you as the expert of your life.

Are you feeling disconnected from your partner ? Feeling they do not understand you? Not enjoying your time together? You were likely close to your partner during the early years of your relationship , but as stressors of family, finances or work have come up, your connection has changed. You have tried to resolve matters, but feeling stuck. Just like when you take your car to a mechanic for repairs, couples therapy can be helpful in repairing your relationship . It can be difficult to ask for help, but when your relationship is not working, it can impact many aspects of your life.

No concern or thought is too small or large to be explored in therapy. I understand that life can bring us suffering, pain, loss, and other experiences that we oftentimes struggle to manage. My goal is to provide a safe space to explore & process your thoughts, emotions, & life situations, no matter how big or small. I understand that each individual's story is unique, & I allow for discovery to occur in a fully confidential, non-judgemental space.

Therapy can help in many ways – providing emotional support, understanding in new ways and changing unhelpful patterns and behaviours. I work to transform difficult emotions and help clients to feel relieved, hopeful, and clearer about the way forward. I draw from a number of therapeutic approaches including the person-centered humanistic approach, family systems, anti-oppressive and trauma-informed practices, narrative and solution-focused therapies, CBT, the Gottman method, and mindfulness and compassion-centered approaches.
