Women's Issues Therapists in M6G

Most of us at some point in our lives need someone to talk to and someone to listen to us, someone that can provide us with a safe place to just be; a sanctuary that allows us to be with our feelings, to get in touch with our needs and our hearts. Whether it is relationship difficulties, job loss, illness, death of a loved one, addiction or mental health concerns that have brought you to my website; all these life transitions can tax our ability to cope in healthy ways leaving us stressed, sleepless and overwhelmed while the rest of our lives seemingly unravel.

As a social worker with more than 30 years experience, practicing individual and couples/psychotherapy and more recently life coaching, I work with people to address challenges, meet their life goals, and live more fully and in accordance with their values. I embrace the opportunity to work with clients to reach, grow, thrive and flourish in their personal and/or professional lives, and move more easily through life. I also utilize my training in Applied Positive Psychology, covering both theory and tools, to increase resilience and wellbeing.

One of the bravest things a person can do is to begin to understand their own story. Life's challenges, both big and small, can become overwhelming to manage and carry alone. My role as your therapist is to provide a safe and supportive space where you can explore your experiences, express your feelings, and navigate the path to emotional healing and growth. My own healing journey has led me to this work with a passion for welcoming you here as you are. While working together, I aim to reflect back your worth and validate your experiences, knowing that each feeling you carry is invaluable to discovering more of your wholeness.

Every single person will need compassionate support, personalized guidance and wisdom, at some point in their lives. If you have a history of trauma, a painful childhood, or have suffered from anxiety/depression for a long time, then this is even more true of you. Emotions and thoughts can be confusing and even hurtful to yourself and others. Some mental states are so complex, that seem to be layer upon layer of suffering. Life can be a rollercoaster and healthy stable relationships appear to be too much work! Imagine not to be defined by your history or struggles. Imagine being able to tap into joy and inner strength at any time!

Hi there. Whether you are seeking therapy during a time of crisis, looking to address an acute issue or wanting to better understand yourself and what has shaped you, I would be honoured to walk along side you and guide you on your healing journey. I have spent the last 10 years specializing in the field of trauma and attachment. My work oscillates between assisting you to develop strategies to feel more grounded in your day to day life, as well as, tuning into the bigger picture of what shaped you and the meaning you have made of these experiences in order to lead to more meaningful healing and balance.

The main therapeutic modality I use when working with clients is EMDR. EMDR is a therapeutic approach based on the understanding that stressful life experiences can shape our beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world, and can leave us stuck in chronic states of emotional distress or reactivity.

I view respect, curiosity, and compassion as the pillars to reconnecting with one’s sense of self through exploration of emotional, psychological, relational, and physiological distress. Each of us is made up of many different parts, all of which exist for a reason. By bringing awareness and understanding to wounded and struggling parts of self, we can learn what they need to heal. My approach is client centred, trauma informed, and strengths based. My core values are being an ally and working from an anti-oppressive framework.

In our work together, the interpersonal perspective enables us to focus on the ways in which you have relations with yourself and with others. For some, the onset of an acute or chronic illness have shifted these relations, future goals and plans. Sometimes, the process of therapy involves learning to recognize behavioral patterns that evoke distress, or bring about unwanted outcomes. Through an atmosphere of support, you can carefully consider the decision to change, and efforts can be targeted towards building healthier, more effective patterns. Cognitive-behavioural strategies are integrated into sessions to facilitate change.

You must be exhausted; whether it be depression, anxiety, disordered eating, low self-worth, or anything else in between, being stuck in the cycle of "not good enough" can make anyone feel unsafe and unassured in their future. Through an anti-oppressive and healing-centered lens, I emphasize the importance of a supportive, open, and warm therapeutic space. Let's build the safety and security needed to make your healing happen.
