Therapists in Mississauga, ON

In my practice, I help individuals who feel disempowered by life's challenges. Many are struggling with anxiety, shame, assertiveness, relationship conflict, trauma, physical illness and spritual crisis. My goal is to create a safe, supportive and non-judmental space for my clients to discuss their concerns and be their authentic selves. I will help connect the body and mind to deepen emotional exploration and to relieve any related physical symptoms. I believe in incorporating one's spiritual life in the therapeutic process to facilitate emotional healing and spirtual development.

Have you ever wondered why, despite all your efforts, some emotional problems or conflicts fail to heal? I believe dysregulation is at the heart of the problem. Crying uncontrollably, racing thoughts or spacing out, flying into rage or shutting down, are all examples of dysregulation. If you've tried therapy before but you're still struggling, it's likely that traditional therapy like CBT, which does not effectively address the nervous system response to stress, has left you still reacting in these old ways. Sensorimotor somatic psychotherapy works directly with the nervous system to down regulate anxiety and upregulate depression.

The majority of my clients are struggling with a unique cluster of symptoms that impact their ability to live life on their terms. Most are unaware of the ways our hormones, trauma and ADHD intersect, and too often we are poorly supported. In order for symptoms to shift, we need to address the many ways symptoms arise, and finding cohesive care can be challenging.

Helping people reach their full potential and finding the inherent strengths within them to build capability and resilience giving them the tools to tackle even the most pressing of issues.
