Self-Harming Therapists in Deseronto, ON

It is important that everyone - no matter where they are in their journey - is provided a safe space to be heard, where their personal goals can be accomplished. Together, we are a team. My work in addictions treatment has taught me that a key to overcoming life's difficulties is support and connection - I would love to help bring support into your world. You don't have to do it alone. My priority is that you leave feeling understood as you are, in what ever uniqueness that brings. I am trauma-informed, non-judgmental, and anti-oppressive and aim to support you in the goals you value.

Life is nothing short of amazing. It's amazing how much we can go through and live to tell about it. It's amazing how fast kids grow up and time flies, how angry a co-worker can make you, how much compassion we can seem to have for others when we struggle to offer any to ourselves. It's amazing how much we put on our plates when all we need is to rest. It's amazing how much we can long for understanding and connection and how much opportunity can be missed right in front of our eyes. It's amazing how short life is. It's also amazing how much we can learn in the time we have, and how little steps can amount to such massive change.

My belief of therapy is that you are in the driver’s seat and I am the passenger along for the ride. In some cases, I may need to assist with driving the car, but you are in control of the journey. This is a space where we get to work together to achieve your goals in ways that are beneficial and helpful for you. I have worked with clients aged 11+ who are managing anxiety and/or depression. I also tend to have an eclectic approach to therapy, and I individualize your therapeutic experience based on your current needs these include CBT, DBT, trauma-focused, and person-centred.

Living in a rural community, I have learned to be adaptive in my approach to psychotherapy. I work with couples and individuals, varying in age from 12 onward. I have ADHD and I live in a fat body- my special interests tend toward working with clients who are neurodiverse, and those who struggle with relationship to food and body, anxiety and self-esteem. The idea of 'wellness' is not a prescription, rather it must be a feeling of security and peace in our own bodies and minds. That's why my philosophy of care includes setting a pace that fits your needs and helping you foster your own feelings of empowerment and self-growth.

I recognize that starting therapy is not always the easiest choice; I'd like to acknowledge the courageous step you are taking to begin your journey. In our space together I will honour this strength and meet you where you’re at. There is no-one-size-fits-all approach to therapy which is why I'm passionate about working together to determine what is needed in our space to support you best, tailoring therapy to your unique needs, goals, and strengths. I strive to provide a safe, collaborative and empowering space that enhances self-discovery.

It is my belief that there is a story behind everything we do. While we can't change the events and circumstances from our past, with support and understanding, we can often process through them in order to heal, learn, and grow. With this insight we are better equipped to make changes in our lives that can provide us with a renewed hope for our future.

Do you feel like you're stuck? Are you noticing habits you want to change? Perhaps you’ve tried, and you just keep finding yourself back to where you started. Painful experiences can create this vicious cycle, sometimes leaving us with a version of ourselves that we no longer recognize. Are you noticing intense emotions? Or do you feel like you’re numb to your emotions? Either can be the aftermath of painful and stressful experiences that changes the way we see ourselves, other people, and the world around us. The good news here is, you’re human, you’re not alone, and lasting change is possible.

Accepting new clients! Are you or your teen struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, anger, self-harming behaviours, or a major life change? Navigating adolescence has always been challenging - a time filled with personal growth, identity exploration, friendship dynamics, and new romantic experiences. Being a teen today is harder than ever before, especially with the pressures of social media. The emphasis on self-image and the weight of expectations can be overwhelming - it's no wonder that so many teens and young adults are struggling. Too often, they are facing intense emotions, thoughts, and pressures alone.
