Therapists in London, ON

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). I am deeply passionate about working with adults, teens and children ten and above who are struggling with grief, life changes, anxiety, depression and emotional stress. Within these difficult seasons, I am particularly drawn to supporting individuals navigating family adversities such as co-parenting, relationship dissolution and betrayal. As a dedicated mother of three elementary aged children, I empathize with the challenges often experienced in parenting. With a background in education, I also understand the struggles faced by children and teens.

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.

Finding the right therapist is a process, and I appreciate that this process can feel overwhelming. I applaud you for taking the first step. Although the prospect of opening up to a stranger can be scary and leave you feeling exposed and vulnerable, with me as your therapist, you will not be alone in this journey. I am dedicated to offering a safe and respectful environment where I will be by your side as you explore your history, your story, and your truth. I honour the diversity of all relationships and I am passionate about supporting my clients in identifying and utilizing their inner and outer resources.

In a world that is becoming increasingly complicated every day, therapy is a safe space away from the pressures of daily life where you can explore your concerns without judgement. My aim as a therapist is to create an environment where I can support you in exploring what is bothering you and we can work as a team to find solutions that are tailored to your unique story and circumstances. I draw from a range of therapies but my main guiding principles come from a strengths-based perspective. I believe above all that YOU are the expert in your own life and that I am merely here to help you on your road to self-actualization.

As a client-centred therapist, my approach focuses on creating a safe, judgment-free, and welcoming space for my clients to explore and untangle their narratives.

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.

Through present day work and exploration of past trauma, we will break through emotional and life barriers to help you achieve your personal goals. Let's embark on this journey towards a kinder and more fulfilling life together.

Life can throw us curveballs and heavy anvils that weigh us down. These situations can knock us off our rhythm and have us feeling unlike ourselves. How do we get back to some form of normalcy? The process often involves change, reflection, and growth which can appear daunting, but aren’t things that have to be done alone. I am a person-centered therapist, meaning that I view you as the expert in your life and what you want to achieve in therapy. To reach your goals, we work together in partnership, using aspects from a variety of therapeutic approaches, and the skills and strengths that you already have.

Are you feeling disconnected from yourself, unable to access a version of you that feels trapped within? You are not alone. Specializing in facilitating growth in adolescents and adults, I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety or depression stemming from self-worth concerns, past hurtful experiences, or obsessive thoughts and behaviours. Wounds from hurtful experiences can significantly impact how we perceive ourselves, the world, and others. These wounds may prevent you from living a life aligned with your true wants and values.

Sometimes we need someone to listen us in order to gain insight and understanding, then we can come up with a plan to help manage or address what we are going through - whether it's a difficult life transition, a loss, or stressful life event(s). My approach to counselling is to create a collaborative process to support individuals with their mental health recovery. I work from a strengths-based perspective in order to assist people as they overcome adversity and life challenges.

Life can feel overbearing, as though we might be drowning in our own sea of emotions. Society, people, and even ourselves can make life feel hopeless, lonely, and trigger our anxiety.

I have worked with many different people who are experiencing a wide variety of life struggles and I do my best to incorporate their values and beliefs to best suit their goals. Therapy is about you, it’s your journey, and I will support you and be a person you can rely on as the therapist you have chosen to trust and be vulnerable with.

You are feeling so overwhelmed that it's hard to remember what "good" felt like. Some days you wonder if you ever actually felt good.

You feel lost - maybe even angry - and dread an uncertain future.
