Therapists in Uxbridge, ON

Is stress, frustration, low self-esteem or a difficult upbringing impacting your relationships? Are you struggling with the weight of past traumas? You're not alone. I provide a supportive and compassionate space to address these challenges. Together we can work towards enhancing communication, rebuilding trust, and nurturing deeper connections in your relationships. Additionally, we can explore your trauma, help you process difficult emotions, and develop coping strategies to reclaim control over your life.

As a clinical psychologist, I have extensive training and experience in providing therapy to adults, teenagers, and families dealing with a wide range of presenting concerns, including but not limited to: anxiety, mood, trauma, grief, relationship problems, life transitions, workplace difficulties, etc. In my work I aim to fully understand you as a complex individual, to address the root causes of your difficulties, and help you in practical ways to live the life you'd choose for yourself.

When you pick up the phone to start therapy, you are halfway there. The initial call can be the hardest one. Low self-esteem, relationship issues, depression, anger, grief, loss, trauma, family dynamics -- these are all issues we can work through together. I integrate empathy, theory, skills, and knowledge obtained through years of experience into an intuitive therapy process. While I provide a solid, well-structured treatment plan, I am open to a variety of techniques that will help ensure that your experience is a success.

You are constantly walking on eggshells. Always on high alert, your highly sensitive brain is always scanning other people's expressions to make sure everything is okay. You over-apologize, over-explain, over-share or disconnect and push your emotions deep down. You feel different - too emotional, too “much”. A sense of loneliness and longing for something you can’t describe looms in the background of everything you do. No matter what you try the feeling that there’s “something wrong with you” just won’t let up. You try to feel better - you have journaled, meditated, tried therapy, medication, breathwork…but nothing helps for long.

We all have different backgrounds and journeys that lead us to crossroads in life; some of us are hoping for relief, while others are searching for growth. When I get calls from clients looking for help, they don’t ask me what modality I use, instead they want to know who I am. Therapy is more about the relationship than the method, and this has been proven by research. I will apply my knowledge and expertise to help you navigate your psychological, emotional and relational issues with care. I have been helping people for over a decade in various capacities. We all have untapped resources and strengths waiting to be discovered.

Now Accepting New Clients! You're a highly sensitive, empathic mom.

The difficulties that we experience in life directly impact our ability to thrive. Taking the first steps to heal are difficult - I am here to help.
