Therapists in M5R

How do you find hope? You're an intelligent, caring, and hardworking individual. Your capacity to persevere through tough times shows your incredible resilience and determination to shape the life you envision. But right now, the challenges you're grappling with have left you questioning everything. It's completely normal to feel hesitant and overwhelmed about turning your focus inward.

Our lives and all the intersecting parts can be too much to bear at times. Carrying around trauma, negative self-talk and heavy emotions is exhausting and impacts the mind/body. Having someone actively listen without blame, shame or judgment can be the life line needed when your struggling to cope, or just seeking balance and change. I am a Registered Social Worker and have over 18 years of experience working with individuals with complex mental health/addiction issues. I provide professional and confidential counselling to address a number of issues such as anxiety, depression, anger, stress, life transitions, relationship issues.

How do you find hope? I want you to know that I'm here to stand by your side, offering my unwavering support. My aim is to create a safe space where you can unburden yourself and feel the weight lift off your shoulders. I'll be here to listen to you, understand your challenges, and help you pinpoint your best hopes. I recognize how tough things can get, especially when you're grappling with anxiety, depression, or overwhelming feelings.

As a psychologist, I work with change. Change may involve shifts in awareness, attitude, behaviour, goals, acceptance, or coping strategies that will enhance your quality of life and well-being. Many obstacles can prevent us from living a satisfying life. These could be a history of trauma, invalidating relationships, habits that no longer serve us, or environments that may hinder our psychological growth. I can help you identify obstacles to your quality of life, develop strategies to tackle them, and set goals to increase and maintain your well-being.

For those feeling unfulfilled, stuck, not quite themselves, or struggling with emotional regulation, I welcome you. I work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, childhood sexual abuse, relational and developmental trauma, and personal relationships. I utilize a variety of evidence-based modalities including psychodynamic, mindfulness, solution-focused, trauma-informed, and emotionally-focused approaches. I provide a space for clients that is free of judgment, inclusive, and empowering.

Do you feel lonely, empty, overwhelmed or stuck? Does it seem like bad things are always happening to you while everyone else is living a happy life? Do you and your partner have the same fights over and over again? I can help you resolve these issues. I am a warm, down-to-earth, authentic, honest, and empathic person who genuinely cares about your well-being. I help individuals work through a wide variety of issues including those related to anxiety, depression, obsessionality, trauma, dissociation, guilt, shame, insomnia, relationships, sexual orientation, eating, and identity and self-esteem. I embrace and celebrate diversity.

The Centre for Psychology and Emotional Health has been providing the highest standard of evidence-based individual and couple therapy since 2003. We are a highly skilled team of psychologists, social workers and registered therapists who are committed to helping people make meaningful changes. Our therapists are compassionate, empathic, and provide a safe therapeutic environment. We treat a wide range of psychological issues including: depression, anxiety, trauma, fears and phobias, relationship injuries and issues, obsessive-compulsive disorder, grief, chronic pain, health issues, stress, and life transitions.

We often come to therapy wanting to feel better, perhaps to change old patterns that don’t align with the vision we have for our lives. Anxiety, depression, anger, PTSD, or personality disruption, difficulty in relationships and addiction are symptoms arising from deeper core (shame-based) wounds. These problematic symptoms surface as a way to cover up painful, enmeshed emotions that are unseen and unheard. I therefore aim to go to the source not the symptom: I specialize in emotion, in building self-compassion, and addressing toxic shame.

As a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, Holistic Psychotherapist, Life Coach, Author and Speaker, I work with family of origin issues, inner child work, depression, anxiety, toxic patterns of behaviour, couples, life purpose issues, grief & loss, depression, codependency, anxiety, addictions, marital strife, parenting, mother, father, & sibling issues, workplace disharmony, repetition/compulsion distress, poor self esteem, conflict resolution, trauma, and anything else that is compromising a person from fully living in joy, ease, well being, health and happiness.

***NOW ACCEPTING CLIENTS FOR PHONE/VIDEO*** When our thoughts get the better of us and we feel overwhelmed, I believe there is always hope to reach the peace for which we all yearn. Through psychotherapy, I support clients struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, identity, and relationships. We all have times when we aren’t sure where we stand in our lives and with others, so I offer a safe and welcoming space where clients can express and find themselves. We are complex individuals with our own unique stories made up of our experiences. Therapy is an empowering space where we can explore these without judgment.

***NOW ACCEPTING CLIENTS FOR IN-PERSON (SAUGA/VAUGHAN) AND PHONE/VIDEO*** Let’s be honest, life is hard, and in many ways, we juggle more today than we ever have!

As a therapist, I don’t think anyone should feel that way. I am committed to supporting my clients with guidance, care, and connected to the proper resources.
