Therapists in Carlsbad Springs, ON

Every individual I have the opportunity to meet carriers with them a collection of unique experiences, thoughts, beliefs, values and goals. As humans, we all have periods in our lives when we think, “things are not how they should or ought to be” and this may lead us to a place where we may not be feeling like ourselves. I genuinely believe that you, as a client, are the expert at your own life, but sometimes, even experts can use a little fine tuning- this is one of the functions of therapy! I promise to provide you with the highest quality service that it tailored to your specific needs.

This means that she makes consistent efforts to meet each client "where they are" and to serve as a catalyst to each individual who is progressing through their unique process of self-discovery and self-identification.

Living in a world that demands perfection is not easy. It can be extremely difficult and unforgiving to us human beings. When we experience negative emotions there is something deeper that is lurking beneath the surface. I am a humanistic therapist who puts the client's needs first. Even if the client is unsure of what they need, this will be part of the journey to discover. I do not adhere to a "one-size-fits-all" approach to therapy as every individual is unique and deserves to be heard for who they are.

I have a deep interest in helping people open to explore their core selves, and increase their self-awareness, focus, attention, and concentration. Although I have a special interest in working with elite athletes, and physicians, I believe that a strengths-based approach rooted in the priniciples of high-performance are applicable to all of us. Whether one is working in a demanding profession, pursuing academics or specialized training, there is limitless potential in all to self-examine, focus on what is truly important, and live meaningful lives guided by our personal ethics.

I recognize the inherent beauty in each individual's uniqueness and believe it is essential to honour it. My practice places great value on the concept of parts work, where we all parts of us are acknowledged and integrated, even the parts we have disowned or rejected. I approach each client and their parts with a curious lens, meeting them where they are. My aim is to create a safe and non-judgmental space, that allows one to feel comfortable being their authentic self. I firmly believe that living a life aligned with one's values can bring a sense of purpose and meaning, and I am dedicated to helping my clients achieve this.

I became a therapist because, just like you, I am human and have had my fair share of battles. It took a long time for me to get to where I am today. I recognize that in moments of hopelessness, it is hard to find determination, that depression can be scary, that anxiety can be overwhelming, and that traumatic experiences can leave one feeling emotionally exhausted and drained out. I acknowledge the stigma associated with mental health and in going to therapy. For this reason, I know how crucial it is to provide therapy that is client-centered, empathetic, and unique to each person’s needs.
