Therapists in Owen Sound, ON

In my years of practice, my focus has been centred around individuals from different walks of life (i.e race, religion, gender, sexual orientation etc). Particularly, ones who have trauma, body image issues, low self esteem, fibromyalgia, phobias and/or are anxious, depressed, stressed, destructive, angry, lonely, abused and in or have been in the child welfare system. In regards to my approach, I am genuine and compassionate, but remain equally honest and direct. Rather than bombarding clients with endless questions, I aim to engage them through meaningful methods and effective interventions.

I have worked with children, teens, adults, and families for over 14 years in various settings, which include schools, day treatment programs, community mental health agencies, and within the child welfare and foster care system. I have also facilitated groups for parents who want to prevent and treat social, emotional, and behavioural problems that their children are facing.

I am a psychologist in supervised practice specialized in the practices of clinical neuropsychology, clinical psychology, and rehabilitation psychology with adults. Like many Canadians, I come from a bicultural upbringing. For this reason, I am aware of the unique challenges and intergenerational experiences that are faced everyday by those of us who grew up in both mainstream Canadian and multicultural communities. Drawing from my training as a psychologist, as well as my personal journey, my goal is to create an authentic, relatable, and culturally sensitive space for you to share your experiences through the course of therapy.

It is a natural part of life that we question our careers and ask ourselves why we do what we do. You may be feeling unfulfilled and purposeless with your career where it feels painful to stay where you are, but it also feels painful to deal with the confusion, overwhelm, stress, and anxiety involved in thinking about what's next and how to transition your career. As a Registered Psychotherapist and Career Counsellor, I'm here to help you manage these emotions and make a strategic, informed decision on what career to pursue next. My approach combines psychotherapy with practical decision-making and action-planning.

You're not alone in this journey. I work with many adults who grapple with anxiety, depression, or feelings of 'not good enough.' Often, they're navigating major life changes and transitions, seeking clarity and understanding amidst the chaos. It's normal to lean on support to make sense of what's happening both internally and externally. As I always say, "We are not meant to do it alone." Together, we can explore, and untangle your thoughts & emotions. My approach is anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive. I believe in holistic therapy, considering each unique individual within their surrounding environment.

Experiencing trauma does not have to hold you back. I specialize in supporting those who are navigating how past childhood, relational, betrayal, intergenerational, or complex trauma may have impacted their relationship with themselves, their body, and with others. This may present itself as struggling with self-esteem, body image, emotional/binge eating, attachment, relationship struggles, people pleasing, anxiety, perfectionism, or with just feeling “enough”. Together, we can process past trauma, nurture our unique nervous systems, break patterns that keep us feeling stuck, and move towards a life of self-trust and embodiment.

The process of distinguishing between the root causes of pain and suffering can be complex and may evolve over time. It's crucial to maintain compassion and openness throughout therapy to support your journey toward self-growth and healing. For individuals who have experienced trauma, it's essential to acknowledge the impact of trauma on their interpretations of events. Trauma can color one's perception of reality, and addressing trauma may be a crucial step in differentiating between circumstances and interpretations. Asking for help is the most courageous thing you can do for yourself.
