Therapists in Burlington, ON

If you feel like something is in the way or holding you back from reaching your life worth living goals or finding connection, then I would like to help you . At some points, we can all experience difficult times and need support to guide us through. Experiences that have caused anxiety, pain, grief, loss, lack of connection, or shame can feel overwhelming if left unrecognized. I have found that through the creation of a safe, supportive, client-therapist relationship healing and change can happen. Authenticity, trust & respect are the guideline principles of my practice.

What would it be like if you felt at home with yourself? What would it be like if all the different parts of you had a space to feel seen, to be heard, and to come together? We can work together to get to know you — all of you. We will move toward the changes you would like to see for yourself by co-creating a space where you can feel safe enough to voice your truths and gain awareness of how current difficulties connect to past experiences. In my work with couples and individuals, we address issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, and trauma.

I am passionate about therapy as I have witnessed the freedom, growth, and empowerment it can provide. I believe having a compassionate witness to our lives is inherently healing and it is an honour to be a part of this process. Our work together can help you to make sense of recurring feelings, behaviours, and experiences, and establish new ways of relating to self and others with an increased sense of connection. I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. I hold an MA in Counselling and Spirituality with a specialization in couples therapy, as well as a BA in Psychology.

I have worked extensively with teens, individuals and couples as they navigate various challenges including anxiety, depression, suicidality/self harm, relationship and interpersonal stressors, as well as complex trauma and PTSD. Some individuals are very aware of where they are struggling, which helps us to align quickly and start working together. Whereas others might be new to counselling and really want a trained clinician to help them to understand and make sense of their world and experiences in a safe, warm and supportive space. I offer a client centered approach and will meet you where you are at, wherever that might be.

Are you facing an unexpected change? Perhaps a relationship has ended or you’ve lost someone close to you and it's been a struggle.

Victoria is a warm, caring, non-judgemental professional who offers her compassion, openness, and insight that enables her clients to reflect and draw on meaningful connections about themselves in a safe therapeutic environment. What she appreciates most in a client is their commitment to the therapeutic process, their willingness to be open to initiating change, and most importantly their personal self-reflection practice.

Accepting new clients! I specialize in working with people with histories of trauma and upsetting childhood experiences. Many present as successful, but they often feel deeply ashamed, unsettled and all around “not good enough”. They may experience traits of perfectionism, resulting in fears about their capacity to perform and manage their emotional well-being. Amid this discomfort, they aren't necessarily seeking to learn coping skills in therapy. They do, however, want to engage in an authentic relationship where they can be vulnerable, undertake deep self-exploration and heal the parts of them that may be hurting.

Working from the backdrop of Narrative Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I have a strong background focusing on healthy relationships, including, addressing abuse, improving respect and communication and managing conflict.

I believe everyone deserves to live a happy, healthy and meaningful life. Life can be challenging and sometimes we need a little help along the way. A strong therapeutic relationship is fundamental for growth and positive change; I am committed to working patiently with each individual to establish trust and create a safe space, where they can begin their journey to healing and an improved quality of life.

There are times when we just need someone to connect with who can help us find relief from the weight of life's struggles.

Couples: I believe that the relationships in our lives directly affect our day to day functioning and overall life satisfaction. I enjoy couples work because I am passionate about helping couples to use their skills and strengths to overcome personal challenges and relationship struggles. Have your past or current relationships caused you to struggle with your self-esteem, or to feel anxious or depressed? I can work with you together, or alone, to explore these difficulties, with the goal of creating positive relationship outcomes in the future.

I focus heavily on your individual values and helping you discover a meaning-centered life. I believe that therapies and the therapeutic relationship are as unique as the individual, while one style may suit you, it may not suit others. I am mindful of each individual who walks through the door.
