Different life circumstances can drive us to seek help and support in therapy, such as grief, shame, anxiety, or difficulties with communication. Perhaps it is our desire to understand ourselves better, care for ourselves, and to make sense of how our past is affecting our present. Whatever it is that brings you here, your difficult feelings and experiences shine a light on the parts of you that seek understanding, compassion, attention, care and love.

I believe that thinking outside of our literal reality allows us to see the world through a more creative lense and find alternate ways of dealing with our problems. As a result, I use the Expressive Arts as a tool for therapy. Being a first generation immigrant from a mixed heritage, I have a deep understanding of the unique needs of those of diverse backgrounds living in the GTA.

You’re dealing with a lot; feeling guilty and confused. Guilty for not loving more or trying harder. They’re telling you these things - it must be true, right? They were charismatic and charming, showering you with PDA and compliments, but it all changed. You’re embarrassing they say, and now you feel trapped and broken. You’re not alone. It's not your fault. You Google “abusive relationships” and read about narcissistic abuse. That’s your life! You need guidance. I know this because I needed it too. I chased “good enough” trying to “behave well” for my family. After college, I married and divorced a narcissist who always blamed me.

An estimated 1 in 5 moms and 1 in 10 dads experience postpartum depression, making it the number 1 obstetrical complication. Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders do not discriminate. They can happen to anyone! They often go undetected and, sadly, untreated. It doesn't have to be this way. There is no shame in seeking treatment. As a neonatal nurse with experience in NICU, obstetrics and pediatrics and through the lens of personal experience, I am very familiar with the significant gaps in perinatal mental health services in Ontario. I am passionate about perinatal wellness and look forward to supporting you on your journey!

In the years I've been practising as a psychotherapist, I've learned the importance of developing a deep understanding of my clients and their struggles. I have eventually come to understand that this means I should strictly limit the number of clients I support. Rather than seek out as many clients as possible, I focus on a few clients in a deep and meaningful way. I am able to recall important details to make impactful connections across sessions because my focus is on a relatively small group of clients. Difficult times are inevitable. We all experience them and can sometimes use extra support.

Help can FEEL-LIKE A "DATE" - We get it - You don't only need to know 'relationship skills' you need your partner to know & use them too! ...when they are triggered & angry. (Dang, that's a tall order). We can help, even if you come alone. You or your partner have probably been afraid that asking for help could make things feel worse, or feel "real". The truth is, UNLESS you both learn to support each other in conflict, things do get worse, but you don't need to suffer for 6 YEARS like the average couple does. Choose to get unstuck today, just message Kat(at)Loved-Well.com curious about first steps. We really want to help.
