Therapists in P2A

Hi there and welcome! I'm a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) and co-founder of Northern Therapy Collective, a virtual counselling and psychotherapy service for anyone residing in the beautiful province of Ontario. We are a skilled team of professionals dedicated to providing compassionate and client-centered care.

Starting therapy can be nerve-racking and overwhelming. Often times, people don’t know what to expect or if a therapist will be able to help them with their challenges. I utilize an eclectic and individualistic approach throughout the therapeutic process to accommodate each client’s unique experience, needs, and goals for therapy. ​ I strive to create a safe, welcoming, and comfortable environment and value the importance of the therapeutic relationship so you can move forward with ease. It is important to me that you feel heard and validated in your experiences and to foster hope in healing on your journey.

Rockyshores Counselling offers services with a Registered Psychotherapist as well as a Registered Social Worker.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, a challenging relationship or loss of a sense of self that affects your day-to-day life, relationships and ability to function? Do you feel overwhelmed, frustrated, exhausted or lost. Is it difficult to just get through the day, answer emails, texts or calls or struggle with the thought that there’s no light at the end of the tunnel? Do you wonder if you can ever be happy? Now more than ever people are struggling with feeling overwhelmed and wanting to move beyond past traumas that have affected them and their relationships for years. We believe that there is hope.

My journey in the therapy field began in the public sector providing addiction counselling to adults and youth. Through my work as an addiction counsellor, I developed an understanding of trauma and developed a passion for helping people heal and grow mentally, emotionally, and physically. I know therapy can be difficult. My objective is to provide an environment that makes you feel safe and comfortable. I take a client-centered approach to meet you where you are by incorporating a variety of different approaches to tailor treatment to your individual needs.

We are experienced professionals, passionate about working with young people. We know there is a need for youth-focused counselling services, especially for those ages 10+ years old. We offer in-person and virtual individual counselling sessions for youth. We offer family support sessions tailored to meet the unique needs and goals of each family who may need mediation to engage in difficult conversations. We also offer consultations for adults (parents, guardians, teachers, coaches, etc.) looking for strategies to support a child or youth but are unsure how to help.

My practice is a safe space for you to be yourself, love yourself, and grow into the best version of yourself. My Counselling works with a wide range of clients struggling with various types of circumstances. With each client our aim, first and foremost, is to help them reach their individual goals, feel confident and capable, and acquire the tools to maintain a healthy mind and lifestyle moving forward. We will create coping strategies to work towards an overall increase in well-being, confidence, and positivity. Our goal is to provide you with the support and tools needed to conquer life challenges.

I'm so glad you're here! I am a Registered Social Worker and co-founder of Northern Therapy Collective, a virtual counselling and psychotherapy service for anyone residing in the beautiful province of Ontario. We are a skilled team of professionals dedicated to providing compassionate and client-centered care.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Do your thoughts keep racing from one thing to another? Do you find you are excellent at taking care of everyone else but keep neglecting yourself? I would like to help. I am passionate about helping people to move past the "shoulds" and move towards creating the kind of life they want to live. Most of the time when we are distressed we are worrying either too much about the past or the future, or are overly preoccupied by what we imagine other people are thinking about us.

Using cutting edge, best practice therapeutic approaches, we can help you recover fast. At ASSIST we pride ourselves on being accessible and reliable. We offer initial appointments in hours, not weeks. We offer relief in 1-5 sessions. We have psychiatrists who can provide assessments and consultations in days, not months.

I help couples, families and individuals using an integrative, client-centred, evidence-based, therapeutic approach with highly flexible and late hours to meet your busy life. To reduce stigma and increase accessibility and flexibility, I offer online sessions.

I provide a judgement free environment to speak freely and address life challenges. I have worked extensively with youths, adults, couples and families in various capacities. With over 9 years of social work and counselling experience, I am knowledgeable and equipped to provide you with safe, confidential and effective counselling. I will work collaboratively with you as you gain the knowledge and skills you need to address your concerns and achieve your goals.

My clients are often… 1) Those struggling with anxiety, racing thoughts, and high stress. 2) Young professionals navigating the stressors of life transitions, relationship issues or family drama, the weirdness of being in their 20’s & early 30’s, all whilst trying to build their career and find success. 3) Men of all ages navigating relationship issues, anxiety, career change, men’s issues or other stressors. 4) Folks who struggle to set boundaries, articulating their needs or building confidence. 5) Those looking for a therapist that doesn’t feel stuffy and formal or mushy gushy - someone they can be comfortable with.

My therapeutic approach is to get to the root of your presenting challenge. I believe in distinguishing symptom management from root causes of symptoms to support permanent change in your life. I bring a sense of humour, empathy, directness, a variety of personal and professional experiences and a strong commitment to work collaboratively with you in a client centred environment. I believe in the importance of understanding your early experiences and how they affect your anxiety, depression and other mental health challenges. I use outcome measurements and assessments to monitor your progress.

Life is full of unexpected challenges that can often feel overwhelming, leaving us with a sense of isolation. It's important to recognize that you don't have to face these difficulties alone. Whether you're grappling with failure, anxiety, depression, loneliness, or loss, I am committed to coming alongside you as you face those challenges. It is my goal that clients feel seen, valued, and supported. I work together with clients to capitalize on their inherent strengths and skills, and to cultivate greater feelings of connection, authenticity, understanding, curiosity, compassion, and mindfulness in their lives.

Psychotherapy is my second career, and that makes me stronger as a therapist. That's because, in addition to my academic qualifications and clinical training, my own lived experiences as a daughter, a wife and mother, a student, an employee and an entrepreneur help me relate to my clients in so many meaningful ways. Clients relate to my sense of humour, empathy, and desire for growth as a person and as a therapist. And they value my ability to get to the root of the issue and expertise in both practical problem-solving and supporting clients' growth.

Life after trauma can be hard. Really really hard. You never quite go back to feeling like yourself. You experience the world differently- people, places and things can trigger feelings of unsafety. You may be feeling numb, detached or out of body. Other times, you can feel irritable and snap easily. Trauma will impact your ability to trust yourself & those around you. Maybe it's beginning to impact your relationships with yourself and/or others. Sometimes you’ve been living in survival mode for so long that you begin to feel hopeless. Unhealed trauma commonly manifests in the body chronically.
