Self Esteem Therapists in K2H

Are you someone who feels their emotions in a big way? Perhaps you are extra sensitive to the emotions of others and often find yourself feeling anxious.

My heart is dedicated to supporting individuals like you in their journey towards healing and growth across Ontario virtually. My areas of focus include anxiety, self-esteem, ADHD, disordered eating, and trauma. I'm deeply committed to creating an inclusive space for everyone, particularly members of the BIPOC, 2SLGBTQ+, and neurodivergent communities. Whether your struggles surround overthinking, perfectionism, boundary setting, self-criticism, completing tasks, body image, trust issues, emotional dysregulation, managing triggers, and more - I want to be here alongside you to work towards what hope and change looks like for you.

If you are in the process of seeking counseling, I suspect it can be for any number of reasons or combination of reasons (stress, mood issues, current or historic family issues, past or current trauma, job related issues, personality conflicts, self esteem issues, simply wanting perspective in life, all sorts of other issues that would generally contribute to one simply feeling discontent or unhappy in life). During times like these, it is often helpful to have a person that is dedicated to helping you explore these issues in a caring and collaborative manner and in a manner based on experience and evidence based practice.

Welcome! Making the choice to engage in therapy requires courage, however it can be an empowering and positive experience towards a more fulfilling life. Over the past 14 years I have integrated my training and work in clinical and agency settings to offer counselling to clients looking to improve their mental wellness and overall functioning. Some clients report feeling ready when they cannot eliminate feelings like they are "facing an uphill battle" or that they are "overwhelmed" by daily life stressors and need support.

Hello and welcome! I am a neurodivergent therapist who understands the complex task of understanding your own needs. I work from a gentle and curious stance, aware that each person brings with them a unique history, identity and experience that deserves a safe space to unpack and explore. I have a strong interest in the areas of anxiety, neurodiversity (ADHD, autism), attachment and relational trauma, life transitions, stress management, relationship and family challenges, self-esteem, and social justice issues. I understand how challenging and freeing it can be to process your identity, and that it is not always a linear path.

As a therapist, I help clients whose moods hijack their lives & negatively impact their relationships, career and body. If you experience overwhelming emotions that stick around too long, have imbalanced thinking, cope poorly with your emotions & stress, have unstable/unhealthy relationships, low self esteem and an unstable sense of self, I can help. As a coach, I work with women bosses who despite all their success have one area of their lives where they feel they have lost their way, lost control, and lost touch with their true selves and their inner knowing (coaching fees are $ 200/60 minute session, therapy $ 170/60 minute).

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. With compassionate guidance and support, I strongly believe that people can increase their self-understanding, improve relationships and well being, move through life transitions, cope with loss, increase vitality and feel empowered to make changes in their life. I have supported individuals dealing with: depression, anxiety, stress, anger, grief, self-esteem issues, relationship issues, life transitions, traumatic experiences, and the challenges encountered when supporting loved ones who are struggling with substance use and mental health problems.

For over 17 years, I have been working with individuals and families, walking beside them through challenging times and helping them to make positive changes in their lives. I enjoy helping people who have experienced all sorts of life challenges including but not limited to anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, relationships, separation/divorce, parenting, grief, and intimate partner violence. My work experience has provided me with a strong foundation for working with both children and adults. I help to empower my clients, building upon their already-existing strengths and helping them to heal their wounds.

I am a clinical psychologist with more than 25 years of experience working with adults, children and families experiencing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, self-esteem issues, depression, trauma, post-traumatic disorders, migration, adjustment issues and life transitions amongst others.

As a therapist, I strive to help individuals thrive in their day to day lives. I have a very wholistic and integrative approach with each of my clients in counselling, drawing on many areas of psychotherapy (e.g., Cognitive, behavioural, humanistic and systemic) to help a client best achieve their goals. This means that with one client, we might choose to focus more on cognitive-behavioural techniques but with another we may focus more on working through past experiences. Therapy is not a “one-size-fits-all” method, and so working together to find what works best is key.

My approach is person centered, holistic and supportive. It is based on a belief that every person has the unique potential to discover and develop their own inner resources and strengths. Our time together will provide you with a safe and collaborative space within which you may explore your life challenges, the changes you may wish to make that can lead towards greater personal insight, growth and wholeness. ​

Taking that first step to reach out for support and discuss your story is a great sign of strength and it also signifies the beginning of a personal, enriching journey. I work alongside children, adolescents, and adults and work towards goals that are formulated in collaboration with clients to ensure that any unique needs are being met and inner strengths/resources are being nurtured. I have experience working with clients who present with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, body-image concerns, relational concerns, and other difficulties. I have also worked alongside those who have experienced trauma and/or loss.

FREE First Session for New Clients - Are you feeling overwhelmed by family, relationship or work problems, conflict, and stress? Do you feel irritable, worried, fear the worst happening, unsure how to move forward? Your relationships, self-esteem, sleep and focus may be suffering, leaving you feeling exhausted, disconnected and stuck trying to deal with negative thoughts and emotions alone. No matter what you do it never seems to be enough. The good news is you are not alone, and you don't have to take this anymore. I'm here to listen, support and help guide you in healing solutions toward claiming the life you deserve.

I work in individual psychotherapy with adults, who are experiencing depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, life transitions, isolation, burnout syndrome, low self-esteem, high levels of stress, communication and relationship issues. I am passionate about working in therapy by building a strong therapeutic relationship within a safe and supportive environment, to help individuals gain insight into their functioning, and provide new ways of seeing themselves. I have extensive clinical experience helping individuals with chronic illnesses to better cope with their health issues and the emotional process related to the acceptance of the disease and medical treatments.

Experiencing anxiety, depression, hardship, grief or trauma, low self-esteem, relationship troubles, or looking to discuss life’s issues? I am here for you. Though you are the expert in your life, struggling with sadness, stress or helplessness can make it hard to know what to do. I am here to listen, support, challenge, and help you find your way. I provide you with a safe, accepting, compassionate environment to process, heal, and grow.

I practice as a compassionate, creative, and supportive psychotherapist. I provide confidential, non-judgmental individual psychotherapy sessions and work collaboratively with each client to meet their specific needs. I feel deeply honoured to have the privilege of accompanying others on their healing journey.

The tightness in your chest, knots in your stomach and the stories your mind tells you have been getting out of hand lately. Your efforts to control your anxiety haven’t been working the way you’d like, and you’re left feeling like you just want to run away. Fear of making mistakes, saying the wrong thing, hesitating to take on new challenges, and the discomfort of feeling out of place have become too much. Common sense methods like trying to be rational or think positively only make it worse. Anxiety is holding you back from being the person you wish to be.

I believe people can grow and live meaningful and healthier lives. Seeing them gain insight over the course of therapy and thrive is my passion. I aim to provide a safe and nonjudgmental setting for all my clients by respecting their values and challenges as unique. Over more than eight years in the field of mental health, I have worked with and been able to assist individuals, couples and families with issues such as anxiety, depression, challenges in career, and relationship conflicts.
