Therapists in Bridgenorth, ON

If you're feeling disconnected, distracted, and detached from your life, it may be time to look at why. Why can't I connect, why am I not able to just "get over" my past, or why does it all feel so meaningless? Maybe there are other questions, like “what am I doing with my life” or “who do I want to be?”. It’s okay to take time that's just for you, to look at your life and see both the big picture and explore the often overlooked details. With the right support, you can feel more present, connected, and in control of your life.

I feel there is no one right path for self exploration. Some have that space via reading, spirituality, writing or something else. And for some it can take the form of therapy which is not just problem focused but rather person focused. At times, the motivation for self exploration comes from painful life events occurring outside us or other times it could be the overwhelming emotions building up within us. It can also be difficult to distinguish oneself from one’s difficulties and as a therapist I try to join you in your dialogue, confusion & difficulties. Therapy space is unique for it preserves space for the unspoken words too.

I offer a safe, non-judgmental, healing space, to help you understand your soul's unique journey. Do you feel stuck, in conflict or in a crisis?

A Spiritual Health Therapy Session combines psychology with spirituality.

We all have times when we feel overwhelmed by unexpected changes in our family life, relationships, careers or health - times when strong emotions are difficult to manage alone. Perhaps you are experiencing divorce, looking for a career change, deeply saddening by the state of our planet, or wondering what comes next. Maybe you long for a different life, but don't know what to move towards. You might be a high-achieving professional whose drive for success has left you feeling isolated and disconnected. You may be an exhausted or frustrated parent/partner, or grieving the loss of someone you love. You may be male/female/non-binary.

I'm passionate about working with people who are willing to create movement and change in their lives; change that will promote a healthy and well-balanced lifestyle. I believe that we are all able to improve our relationships - both with ourselves and with others. By successfully working towards reaching our goals and by trusting ourselves, we learn to listen to our inner guidance. Whether you are facing anxiety, stress, challenging relationships, sexuality issues, trauma, grief & loss, addiction, anger, shame, a difficult life transition or crisis, depression, or simply want guidance to improve an area of your life.

As a psychotherapist, my philosophy is simple: many of our challenges, whether in connection with anxiety, trauma, or conflict, can often be traced back to dishonesty – with ourselves and/or with others. Discovering your truth is vital to your healing journey. l am committed to building a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients so that we can uncover root causes and embark on this journey together. I am dedicated to serving individuals from diverse backgrounds and providing a safe and judgement-free space that allows for clients to freely speak their truth.

My practice has four foci each supporting personal growth, identity and well-being: 1. LGBT concerns: coming out, loneliness, dating, relationships, family conflict, developing acceptance of self and by others, consolidating identity, loss and adaptation in these situations, aging, illness; 2. trauma impeding life today: neglect, abuse, bullying, exposure to dangerous or dysfunctional environments, accident, loss, etc. 3. couples: long-term, new or dating, opposite and same sex, experiencing conflict, communication disconnects, codependency, affairs, family concerns, loss, substance abuse, addictions; 4. career counseling to align temperament to vocation, achieving work/life balance, supporting job loss/search and life stage changes such as retirement.

***Quality therapy at an affordable rate.*** If you are experiencing any emotional, cognitive or physiological disturbances, then therapy is for you. Therapy is a service used to help individuals promote mental health and physical well-being. More than that, however, therapy is a relationship between client and therapist in which change is made. Therapy can help clarify the past and release old tension, and revive the present and bring great change. It is a powerful and effective tool for individual healing.

‏If you want to be heard, you must first be a good listener to your partner. Most couples say, "We can't talk to our partner for even 5 minutes." The reason is that you are not talking, but rather venting your anger on each other. True empathy means that I, as a man, should put myself in my partner's shoes and think like a woman, not like a man! And I, as a woman, should also put myself in my partner's shoes and think like a man, not like a woman.

You're hurting. Despite the brave front, you're wondering if anyone really sees you, hears you, or understands you. In moments of deep honesty, you admit to yourself that you've been feeling this way for a long, long time. A friend of yours, a family member, maybe even your partner has told you that You could use "some help." You've googled your symptoms and downloaded apps, but you're really not sure what's going on with you. You've even tried therapy before, but it only seemed to scratch the surface. You're not alone, believe me. You sound like most of my clients.

To be the best possible you, it is nesessary to release old wounds and transform what doesn't work. Growth and empowerment come from increasing self-awareness and making healthier more aware choices. It is my honor to assist clients in gaining the tools necessary for positive change and shift into a healthier happier way of being. Life changing holistic eclectic approah to work on the deepest levels of consciousness.

Veritas is Latin for truth, which is a central value in my therapeutic approach. People have a tendency to mask what they are actually experiencing, subscribing instead to behaviour dictated by social norms. Over time, suppressed emotional suffering manifests itself in disorders such as anxiety, explosive anger, panic attacks, addiction, and depression. While many modern therapies focus on treating surface symptoms (band-aid solutions), I believe in getting to the root of the suffering to help clients gain insight so that they can truly grow, heal, and flourish.
