Therapists in London, ON

As a trans woman, I am particularly passionate about working with members of marginalized groups. I have a keen interest LGBTQ+ issues, those dealing with gender identity concerns, sexuality concerns, and those with experience in the sex work industry. I practice from a sex-positive/kink-aware perspective.

My primary area of interest is to provide interpersonal and relationship therapy to individuals and couples. In relationships, small feelings and emotions can become bigger and heavier leading to feeling unworthy, inadequate, or unlovable, and can impact mental health/wellness. Our relationships require ongoing work. Love needs to be nourished and nurtured to feel satisfied and to grow. If you are looking into exploring, developing, and expanding your understanding to deal with issues that you are facing right now in your everyday life/interpersonal relationships, you have arrived at the right therapeutic space. Change is possible.

Hello and welcome. Are you struggling with self esteem issues, depression or anxiety? Are you finding it difficult to find meaning and purpose in your life? Do you use substances or addictive behavior to manage your stress, or hide from your pain? Are you lacking motivation or finding it difficult to choose among competing desires or goals? Perhaps you are in a challenging relationship and are having difficulty communicating what you really want and need, or are caught in a cycle of ongoing conflict? Or you may be generally happy with your life and you are looking for ways to make it even better, more alive, and fulfilling.

Through deep listening, dream work, image-in-the-body work and analysis, I collaborate with my clients to grow more meaningfully connected to themselves and others. What is a meaningful life? Am I happy? These questions are at the centre of many of my clients’ lives. The question of one’s personal meaning has profound impacts on one’s life. It can be the source of depression, addiction, relationship problems, poor self-value, and feeling disconnected from the world around you, from spiritual life and from soul life. I have been practicing for over 15 years as a Jungian psychoanalyst and psychotherapist.

I have a Master’s Degree in Social Work and I am a registered social worker in good standing with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. I offer counselling to individuals from all backgrounds, in a safe, compassionate and non-judgemental space, whether in person or virtually. Whether you are managing anxiety, low self-esteem, difficult family dynamics, health issues or something else, reaching out for assistance is an investment in yourself. I aim to help you find balance through facilitating the development of coping skills to help you move forward with your life while managing its challenges.

Let’s figure out what is holding you back and how to move forward in celebrating who you are. We all have parts of ourselves we wish were different, parts of ourselves we are ashamed of or perhaps sad or angry with. Sometimes we start to shape our understanding of ourselves through a narrative that is focused on these parts. My approach is one that uses curiosity to explore, understand and appreciate our unique story. Stories are ways in which we explain and understand our experiences. As your therapist, I will walk alongside you on your journey of exploring your story, rediscovering self and re-writing your story that you value.

*Offering virtual trauma therapy throughout Ontario.* While I believe that everyone carries within themselves the capacity to heal, during difficult periods in life our personal strengths can be impossible to access. At these times, we may need a caring and non-judgmental therapist to assist us. My intention is to provide you with a safe space to share your concerns and to help you to fulfill the hopes you have for your life. As each individual is unique, so is therapy. I adapt my approach to meet your personal goals and together we will come to identify the process that best serves you.

In my practice, I take an integrative approach in my therapy work to address issues of anxiety, depression, difficulties managing relationships, emotions, grief and trauma. I believe that experiences in our families and early relationships have an important role in shaping who we are, including our thoughts, feelings and beliefs, and influence how we are affected by our experiences throughout our lives. Understanding our attachment experiences, our own needs in relationships, and how we can learn to cope with emotions will help us make the changes we want in our lives.

I support youth and adults with anxiety, body image and relational concerns. I am skilled at supporting clients in the perinatal stage. I have a strong interest in issues of faith deconstruction and reconstruction, no matter what beliefs, religion or faith traditions you are a part of.

Are you or a loved one struggling with substance use or addictions? Do you find yourself extremely anxious or depressed with no known cause? Are you looking for support for yourself or your loved one who may also have a trauma history? These challenges do not need to be faced alone. Within all of us is a great capacity to heal and recover. For all of the times you have tried to take on life's challenges alone, you are not alone and there is help to guide you through your struggles. Allow me to guide you through what life has thrown your way and take back control of your path. Recovery is possible for anyone.

Have you ever felt like you needed to do “more” or be “more” in order to feel like you are “enough?” Overwhelmed by guilt if you have needs of your own? Or believe if you did acknowledge YOU in relationships it could end in abandonment, disappointment or being alone? You may have learned to relate to yourself in this way for as long as you can remember and does not mean you are “broken” in need of being “fixed”. When we remove judgment and begin to see our “true self” through the lens of curiosity we get to reconnect with who we have always wanted to be but was too afraid to try.

It takes courage to reach out for support. I aim to create a safe, warm environment to allow you to share your story. I care about your wellness and aim to support you along every step of your journey. I am passionate about empowering individuals to build coping skills, create goals, and work through difficult emotions. I use a strength-based, trauma-informed lens, and work to provide techniques that best suit your needs.

Welcome and thank you for considering me for your therapist. I believe that therapy is best thought of as a means of becoming the best possible version of yourself; this requires vulnerability, bravery, and a willingness to change or explore new ways to interact with the world, the people we care about, and ourselves. I am an integrative therapist who is collaborative, responsive, trauma informed, and YOU centred in my approach. I am committed to providing a space that is supportive, empowering, non-judgmental, and that recognizes the strengths you have or want to build on.

Do you find that old familiar unhealthy patterns, behaviors and limitations hold you back from finding what truly makes you happy? Have you experienced difficulties, challenges and traumatic events that get in the way of you being able to cope effectively with life and its stressors? If you are ready for a change, I would like to help you achieve your goals. Allow me to assist you in re-aligning your life with who you really are instead of being lost in the muffle of misguided expectations and unhealthy patterns.

Taking New Clients! We all strive to be happy. But some days life can feel so overwhelming its hard to breathe. We may feel anxious, sad or frustrated, and it's hard to cope with day to day challenges. Our feelings can impact our relationships with our family, our ability at work, or time with our friends. They may cause self-doubt, social issues and health concerns. Often we have no idea where these feelings are coming from. We just know we are hurting. But to effectively address these feelings we need to have a better understanding of what's causing the difficulties.
