Therapists in Brighton, ON

The complexities of life experiences can profoundly impact our whole selves, spanning emotions, identity, performance, relationships, self-care, sexuality, and numerous other facets that collectively shape our wellbeing. May it be hopes of resolving trauma, changing habits or patterns, adjusting to life transitions, or coping better, being able to set goals and attain them, or feeling comfortable in your own skin- I will accompany you in your healing and flourishing journey with compassion and a deep awareness of trauma, culture, and psychology, and support you to feel safe, seen, and secure in your inner as well as external world.

I have always been a compassionate person with a deep commitment to support individuals on their journey to emotional healing and personal growth. I have a passion for mental health and am a great listener who is available to provide support to those who may need it. I am empathetic and try to address the needs of each client helping them to build resilience and insight through developing a strong therapeutic relationship with them. I create a non-judgemental environment with sensitivity towards other cultures which allows me to connect with them and work collaboratively towards achieving their goals.

You may find yourself feeling stuck, overwhelmed by anxiety/stress, or feeling triggered by past trauma. We are a team of caring RSW's and RP's providing support to adolescents, adults, couples and First Responders. We specialize in trauma, childhood abuse and attachment wounds, maternal mental health, fertility, domestic violence, and couple therapy. Our approach is attachment-based and we are passionate about helping individuals to feel more connected to themselves and their relationships. We strongly believe that a therapist-client relationship should be rooted in trust and safety and characterized by warmth and acceptance.

I believe that our body and mind have an intrinsic ability for healing but sometimes need some gentle nurturing and guidance. Providing a compassionate and safe space, my goal is to connect with and empower my clients towards well-being, personal growth, self-compassion, and healthy relationships. I strongly believe in the uniqueness of each client, in their values and ideologies, and therefore use a culturally sensitive approach to my work.

Compassionate support is here! Now in-person and virtual! I have been of service to the community for over 20 years including working at a women's shelter, rape crisis centre, high schools, and hospices. I work with clients in the areas of couples, divorce/separation, policing/first responders, stress management, anxiety, depression, bereavement, blended/step-families, cross-cultural issues, and healthy relationships. I use solution focused techniques, somatic experiencing and mindfulness strategies to guide my clients to build their own "tool box" with skills to assist them through difficult emotions, situations and life events.

Currently welcoming new clients for virtual and in-person sessions. We are a collection of Psychotherapists (RP, RP(Qualifying) and Clinical interns) who specialize in providing therapy to individuals, couples and families to clients across Ontario. Please look at the gallery of photos to see each of our team members - or seek further information about each provider on our website. We work with themes of sexuality, relational challenges (individual, couple/poly or family context), communication, addiction and substance use, disordered eating, non-monogamy, interethnic partnership, grief and loss, and mental health issues.

All of us experience stressors and struggles in our lives. Essentially, it is about how we process these situations that can leave long-lasting impacts. There is no right or wrong way in the processing of these events, rather there are healthy versus unhealthy coping skills. My role is to facilitate your emotional and mental health journey, to aid in building up resiliency so that you are better able to manage and work through those stressors.

I understand that most likely you have been trying your best and pretending that life is OKAY, but now the heaviness of putting on a brave face is getting you down. You have tried a few things ( reading books, maybe attending therapy) but you find yourself repeating the same old habits of ignoring and pushing down your feelings. Your unresolved TRAUMA is making all your decisions right now. Most likely, most of the time, your trauma leaves you feeling quite unsafe in your body ( panic attacks, low mood, etc). You DO NOT want to feel like this anymore but you are also a little nervous about whether therapy can "really work"?

Looking for the right therapist can be challenging and stressful. When I sit across from a client, I value and respect that I am being invited into important, personal situations, thoughts, and vulnerabilities. My philosophy to clinical work comes from my belief that you are trying to do the best you can and want support to do better. I will both accept you for where you are at, while helping you pushing toward the change you are looking for. I collaborate with my clients to then tailor the therapy I provide to the individual-pulling on my experience, trainings, and the understanding that we all are human.
