Toddler Therapists in Dorchester, ON

You were going along with your daily routines, but now things are starting to feel more difficult. You’re starting to feel overwhelmed and life is just not going as you had expected. You might start to put on a brave face, but inside you are just not feeling like the version of yourself you once were. You notice your patience is thinner with the people that you usually enjoy having around you, you’ve even snapped and said something you didn’t mean before you could stop yourself. You try to fix it but then it happens again. You talk down to yourself and just cannot boost yourself out of this funk. Now you’re taking a brave step.

I chose to become a School Psychologist because I have a passion for helping individuals identify their strengths and improve their learning abilities. My main goal is to assist parents in understanding the underlying causes of their child's learning difficulties and provide them with guidance on how to address these challenges. Additionally, I strive to support adults in gaining a better understanding of themselves. My area of focus involves working with individuals who may have suspected or confirmed learning difficulties, ADHD, and/or Autism.

You may be suffering from depression, anxiety, frustration, sadness, helplessness, or other issues... but don't give up! We all want some very basic elements in our lives. We want to be accepted, loved, cared for and supported for who we are and what we strive for. I can help you get there! My goal as a counsellor is to help you get to a better place in your life. I will bring my professional training, breadth of experience and a strong sense of empathy to bear in helping you. I strive to offer a positive, non-judgmental and relaxed atmosphere where there is no judgment, just understanding and help right now.

I believe relationships and connections are foundational to our mental health and well-being. When we feel connected to others we are better able to explore, heal, and adapt. My goal is to support people at any age with learning new skills, exploring emotions, and sharing experiences. When working with me you can expect an open, warm, and non-judgmental perspective.

You are feeling overwhelmed in life - your emotions, thoughts, and circumstances are becoming overbearing. Pulling away from others to try to deal with these issues is no longer working.

Whether you are dealing with work or school stress, relationship stress, loss, or new developments in life, I can help you in finding your way again.

You’re getting calls from the school about your child. That’s if he even makes it to school. Your sweet little baby is almost unrecognizable. She hates herself, she hates you, and you’re an idiot for trying to help. He spends most of his time in his room glued to the phone or yelling at you. And you can’t figure out what’s going on. Or maybe you're struggling issues around parenting, post-partum issues, or your own relationships. Your anxiety is out of control, you feel hopeless, you know something has to change. Adulting is hard.

It can be hard watching our child struggle whether it be with anxiety, fear, anger, big emotions, loss, trauma or significant life changes and if any of this is resonating with you I believe you are in the right place. As a Certified Play Therapist my approach to therapy allows children of all ages to use their natural language of play to process and communicate their inner world in a safe environment where they feel seen, heard and understood. And yes - we can do all of this while also having fun!

I have been working in the Social Work field since 2010. For the first 2 years, I assisted those who struggled primarily with their mental health. From 2012 up until early 2019, I specialized in addictions of both youth and adults. Lastly, since 2016, I have provided private counseling supporting a variety of ages and presenting concerns. Issues range from anxiety, as the most prominent, to grief, couples, bullying and more. Social Workers are trained with various techniques in order to relieve their clients of whichever burden they may be carrying. It is my passion to listen and help develop a plan to move forward in your life.

You’re getting calls from the school about your child. If he even makes it to school. Your sweet little baby is almost unrecognizable. She hates herself, she hates you, and you’re an idiot for trying to help. He spends most of his time in his room glued to the phone or ignoring you. You can’t figure out what’s going on, you're frustrated, tired, and at a loss as a parent as to how to help. I get it. Parenting is hard sometimes.

With over 20 years of experience working with people just like you, I am a therapist who will listen with genuine curiosity, and work with you to uncover your own internal wisdom.

As a therapist with over 2o years of experience, I hear clients say they wished they had reached out sooner for support. Often, shame or guilt had gotten in their way, somehow thinking they should be able to make changes alone. Quite honestly, we are not meant to do things alone. I offer treatment for struggles such as family stressors, parenting biological, foster and adoptive children, depression, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and childhood maltreatment experiences. I work extensively with parents with their own adverse childhood experiences to change patterns from their upbringing and feel more successful in their parenting.
