Therapists in N1G

When life gets hard to deal with, it is good to have someone to talk to; Someone with the expertise, professionalism, and compassion to listen, ask the right questions to create clarity and help us find the solution or at least see the light at the end of the tunnel. When dealing with mental and emotional pain, someone with the proper training and experience could be the right person to turn to. I utilize over 10 years of experience in therapy practice to the full benefit of my clients dealing with grief, depression, and anxiety, including those dealing with chronic illnesses such as cancer, as well as youth and parents'

I welcome new clients. Depression, anxiety, trauma, and other debilitating emotions do not need to be the norm. Tap into the wisdom of your mind. Mindfulness is being in the present moment, which is the only moment you have control over. Meditation changes your brain chemistry. Both are skills you can learn and practice. Treat your mind like any other body part in pain, be tender, kind, and attentive. I am a Registered Psychotherapist with a degree in Psychology from McMaster University. I am a certified Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Facilitator. I specialize in using mindfulness and meditation to heal.

Do you want to develop strategies to better manage the thoughts, feelings and relationships that are holding you back from a healthy and productive life? Are you struggling to find enjoyment in life, experiencing mental or physical illness, grief, and loss, stress in your job, relationships or as a caregiver or parent? There are steps you can take to improve your psychological well-being, strengthen your relationships and attachments and move towards personal healing and growth. I am here to help you break the cycle or negative thoughts, emotions and relationships and take steps to experience a more positive and fulfilling life.

A Sanctuary is a place of comfort, safety and healing, a refuge from the storms of our life. I aim not only to provide a sanctuary for my clients but to help them build one within themselves. Whatever you are struggling with I can help you to navigate by providing a safe & comforting environment where you can explore your own unique path to healing, growth and change. Together we will address the current issues as well as the relational patterns, experiences and beliefs that wound your sense of belonging and create obstacles to building a life worth living.

I work with individuals to help you uncover your innate curiosity, compassion and clarity, in order to feel a greater sense of peace, presence and purpose in your life. We all deserve support in carving out our paths in life. Much of my experience lies in supporting individuals who are experiencing emotional/relational challenges, anxiety, low self-esteem and trauma. I support individuals of all ages, with special interest in working with young adults and new parents (pregnancy/postpartum) who are riding the waves of big life transitions, feeling stuck and exploring who they are. You don't have to navigate this alone!

It can take a lot of courage to reach out! I hope you feel safe here. My work alongside individuals is compassionate, and engages the mind and body to move through the joys and challenges of life. Mental health issues such as anxiety can show up in our body through digestive problems/IBS, muscle tension, exhaustion, pain, headaches, etc., often related to or intensified by stress & trauma. Sessions include breathwork, mindfulness, the nervous system, attachment, somatic work, IFS, nature & cognitive strategies. I will support you with tools to help you cope with your experiences, relationships, regulate emotions & find balance.
