Strength-Based Therapists in L3Z

Seeking help, what a brave act! I am a compassionate therapist, who uses an empathetic and strength-based approach to create a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and challenges. I have a Master of Christian Counselling from Canada Christian College and School of Graduate Theological studies. I am an ordained Pastor and an Associate Clinical Counsellor from the Canadian College of Christian Counsellors

Life can be difficult. We all experience challenges and could benefit from working through them with the help of someone else. For over 25 years, I have supported individuals with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, parenting, life transitions, compassion fatigue, burnout, and grief related to sudden death, suicide or homicide. Supporting growth from a place of loss or crisis is my passion and I believe in working together to make any struggle more manageable.

At Grace North Psychotherapy our clinicians create a safe space for you to process your thoughts and feelings and gain a deeper understanding of self in relation to your relationships with others and the world around you. We will help you gain insight into your past and present, shine a light on your strengths and help you work through challenges to achieve a better state of mind and start living with more grace and ease.

I started in the helping field in 1993, specializing in youth and mental health. I became a full-time Professor in 2007 within the Child and Youth Care Program at Seneca College. I’ve spent my career as a Social Worker and Professor researching and teaching best practices in the helping field. I work with children, youth, adults, and couples, and provide a trusted and competent approach to help. I am a member of the Ontario Association of Child and Youth Care, a member of Ontario Association of Social Workers, and registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers.

What are you going through? Let’s work together in a safe, non-judgmental space to overcome challenges, meet your needs, and be the best version of yourself. I believe that people have an innate desired outcome for their lives and have the capacity to change their narratives.

Hi there and welcome. You may be here for a variety of reasons, or you may not even be sure what, exactly, you're looking for yet. Life and career transitions can be extremely stressful and confusing, to say the least. I specialize in career counselling, burnout, and anxiety. Usually, these pieces intersect. You may no longer find as much meaning in your work and it's anxiety-inducing to think of starting somewhere new. You may have experienced a loss and now you're re-considering your path. These are sentiments I hear often in my work, so you're certainly not alone in this, although I know it can feel this way.

Is there a part of you that feels anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck? Do you find yourself battling with a harsh inner critic? If so, you are not alone. An internal conflict within us can often leave us feeling drained and defeated. Many people approach these parts of themselves with judgment and criticism, not knowing that these parts have helped them survive. When trauma happens, we respond to the past rather than the present moment. My goal is to help you heal from the past and restore a sense of calm and clarity within yourself.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the Ontario College of Psychotherapists and Certified Music Therapist (MTA) with the Canadian Association of Music Therapy. I am passionate about supporting and empowering individuals on their journey to healing and well-being by focusing on the power of the music experience. I use music to facilitate healing for the mind, body and soul. Music therapy can be used with the very young, right up to the very old. It can be used to treat a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, anger issues, acting out, eating disorders, PTSD, separation or divorce.

It has been said that “we don’t see things as they are, but we see things as we are”. It takes courage for the first steps towards this self-awareness and my heart is to join you on that journey. Through a client-centred approach, we can walk together towards healing and resilience.

Do you overthink situations and expect worst-case outcomes? Do you procrastinate certain tasks or avoid certain people or places? Is falling and staying asleep difficult? Do you feel tension in your body or experience feelings of nervousness or overwhelm? Are you looking to feel more relaxed and at ease so that you can worry less and sleep better? With over 10 years of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals just like you. Let's work together on creating a plan that will improve your ability to cope with worries and stressful situations or relationships so that you can live a life of greater ease and happiness.

I want to congratulate you on taking the first step toward healing. My approach as a therapist is person-centred, and I work with individuals to create a plan that is tailored to their specific needs. Having been trained in EMDR therapy, I tend to work from that lens which allows me the ability to pull from various therapies such as ACT, CBT, DBT, Narrative, and Solution-Focused therapy, among others, To ensure that I provide the best possible care I can for my clients.

"Courage doesn't happen when you have all the answers. It happens when you are ready to face the questions you have been avoiding your whole life."
