Therapists Beginning With Q in Ontario
As a former physician, I have often been captivated by the complexities of human behaviour and the underlying mechanisms driving our actions and emotions. While I found medicine to be immensely rewarding, it was the psychological aspects of patient care that truly resonated with me. I became increasingly fascinated by the intricate connections between mind and body, and I recognized how addressing mental health issues could greatly enhance overall well-being. This realization led me to pursue a new direction: exploring the profound impact of mental health on our lives and supporting those struggling within this area.

I am a registered psychotherapist (RP) and my therapy is an invitation for you to work with me in a supportive, caring and non-judgmental environment so that you can connect at a deeper level with your true and authentic being. This, according to Rollo May, “always involves the search for our values and purposes” because without “values there would be only barren despair." I believe that principles of respect, care and knowing are of fundamental importance when we work to support someone who is trying to make a change, realize their abilities, and connect with their own uniqueness and individuality.

I appreciate that seeking help can be intimidating. Many people feel that they suffer alone. People do not realize how common it is to suffer from mental health-related issues. In North America, one in five adults suffer from distress, such as depression, anxiety, and interpersonal problems. Psychotherapy is extremely effective at treating a wide variety of psychological issues. I provide evidence-based, individualized, and collaborative treatment to ensure the quality of care. My approach to psychotherapy incorporates cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and emotion-focused therapy (EFT).

Life is a journey full of ups and downs, twists and turns. So, of course, we all stumble, fall, or get off track along the way. The reasons are numerous, and the stumbles and falls can sometimes feel extremely painful. We can feel confused, stressed, discouraged, and sad. We are all human, and we all need someone to help us along the journey. Let me walk with you and begin the journey to health and healing.

Connecting with Self is a journey of coming home. Self criticism and self-pressuring (which are symptoms of trauma) may get in the way of that journey. Trauma can't be fixed but can be heard, held and contained, so healing can begin. When we can recognize the symptom of trauma in oursleves and others, we begin to see the real person underneath. Trauma not only affects our mood, but also our body. To renegotiate trauma, you can work with someone who not only professionally understands the healing process, but who also walked through the path themselves.

ADHD, autism, and learning challenges were often missed or undiagnosed earlier in life. Do you think you have adult ADHD? Do you or your child have difficulty with learning? If you have trouble completing tasks, are disorganized, and have a busy mind, you are showing signs of attentional difficulties. You may also notice difficulties with relationships, work, academics, understanding, and memory. We provide assessments (ADHD, autism, psychoeducational, Return to work, personality, and psychodiagnostic). Validated questionnaires are used to identify mental health symptoms and assess emotional and intellectual functioning.
