Therapists in Owen Sound, ON

I personally know how it feels to be overwhelmed by the demands of school, work, everyday responsibilities and personal relationships. When challenged by the symptoms of AD(H)D, anxiety or depression everyone can become burdened by life's distractions, unable to prioritize and find the time to nurture relationships, pursue personal interests, meet desired goals and find peace and happiness in our day. To facilitate the changes you would like to see, I will create a safe place to process relationship issues, symptoms related to AD(H)D, trauma, depression, anxiety that have impacted your quality of life.

The road is long and the path isn't always clear. I know experiencing pain, whether it be physical or emotional, is inevitable. Despite that, we are often faced with navigating through life's challenges with uncertainty or fear. I see adolescents, adults and seniors, individually, in families or couples, who are seeking support in facing uncertainties and overcoming challenges including those that come with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addictions, stress, sexuality, relationships, addictions, and family discord.

Are you looking to embrace a brighter future filled with meaning and purpose? Have you experienced grief, loss or challenging life tranitions that are holding you back? Life’s challenges can leave us feeling overwhelmed and stuck both mentally and physically, shaking our confidence and leaving us feeling numb making it hard to make decisions and move forward. My practice is trauma-informed and hope-centered. Together, we’ll address negative patterns, difficult experiences and create a practical plan that will help you achieve realistic, sustainable and positive change. A brighter path is possible.

You enjoy close relationships, set clear goals, and have the drive to achieve. However, sometimes you become disconnected — Disconnected from your relationships and who you want to be. Maybe the disconnect is mild. Or maybe it’s more serious. You have spent months,… or years, striving to connect with your best self. This may be one of those times. You may have a goal but are unsure about how to get there. Perhaps you are struggling with motivation and self doubt, just surviving, but not thriving! Life isn't about survival its about living!

Accepting New Clients-The best way to reach me is through email to schedule a phone consult* I am committed to working collaboratively with you to create a safe space so that you can embrace your vulnerabilities, foster strengths and increase resilience. I specialize in a variety of mental health concerns including but not limited to anxiety, depression, OCD, self-development, relationship difficulties, divorce and unresolved caregiver relationships. Rather than solely focusing on a diagnosis, I believe that it is important to recognize the whole person, which includes all areas of your well-being.

I counsel and support individuals, couples and families who feel stuck in life or who have mental health or marriage issues. Anxiety, depression, addiction and family issues are my main focus.

My mission is supporting you on your path to mental wellbeing, and helping you create a healthy, peaceful, productive, joyful, and fulfilled life that you love. My specialties are: stress/burnout, getting you through life transitions, career coaching, and resolving struggles connected to racial, ethnic, cultural, gender or sexual identities. Together we will work to identify and reduce triggers/sources of stress, shift your mindset, and design and implement personalized strategies that build resilience and coping skills, create healthy boundaries, and support a life and/or career of your own design in which you grow and thrive.

If you are just tired of giving and caring for everyone around you except for yourself, you’ve come to the right place. I come from a teaching background where students and duties came first. As a child of immigrant parents and currently a military spouse, I have also experienced increased stress due to frequent relocations and living far away from family and friends. A common block to getting much-needed help and support is the belief that self-care is selfish. The thing is by slowing down and taking care of your own emotional and mental needs you will be able to offer so much more to the world!
