Psychoanalytic Therapists in Avonmore, ON

Life has its challenges and reaching out for help can be intimidating.

Having this safe place to gain insight and build on your coping skills can help you better manage mental health and to move beyond feeling stuck.

I’m a registered Social Worker M.S.W., R.S.W. For over 20 years, I’ve been providing counselling to children, youth, adults and families of different cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. Working with these populations has shown me that when individuals feel safe, respected, heard and appreciated for who they are, they respond to life challenges with creativity and resilience. My practice is guided by these core values. I take great care to create an ambiance where a genuine human connection takes place.

When overwhelming emotions limit the pursuit of our responsibilities or passions in life there are effective strategies that can help regulate and minimize the emotional storms as well as provide the resilience needed to thrive in your life despite those storms.

Are you feeling disconnected and disoriented about how to move forward in your life? Perhaps change has swept through your world and left you in disarray, picking up the pieces and trying to return to a time or place when you felt you had it all together and you knew who you were.
