Therapists in Sault Ste Marie, ON

My joy and passion is helping people to feel better about themselves and their lives in general - helping people realize their own potential. I specialize in relationship challenges as well as resolving past trauma. I can help as a guide through life stage issues, grief, stress management strategies, emotional management, self esteem issues, anxiety, depression, childhood sexual abuse and domestic violence. My approach to helping people is varied depending on the needs and desires of my clients. I am trained in CBT/DBT, EMDR, Hypnosis, EFT and Relational Life therapy. I have over 30 years of experience.

It's not just you, life HAS gotten harder in the last few years. If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.

I am a witchy herbalist, mother, wanna homesteader and Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). I take a holistic approach and won't tell you your brain is broken or imbalanced. I'm looking at the big picture of your life. Still, we have days, months, years where we feel really low, off-kilter or super anxious. It can feel powerless to be at the whim of these feelings. When we work together, we get an understanding of the “presenting issue” as therapists like to say then… the GOOD stuff. This is where we look at the ways in which your life, trauma, biology and environment are playing a role in these feelings.

I want to understand the intricate details of your life that make you uniquely you and would be honoured to facilitate the process of your self discovery and healing. I love working with individuals in all walks of life including but not limited to individuals experiencing anxiety, panic and/or anxiety attacks, phobias, issues controlling anger, individuals wanting to improve self-esteem, those suffering from grief and loss of relationships, addictions, as well as those individuals looking for support with general life stressors.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist who helps people who are struggling with feelings of guilt, shame, and depression. Many of these are common symptoms for people who struggle with mental health conditions. Understanding the barriers in a person’s life, and previous trauma, can help identify present day triggers and daily struggles. The goal of therapy would be to work collaboratively, using a psychotherapy framework, to identify the cause of the struggles and work towards understanding and reducing symptoms affecting your daily life.
