In Person Therapists in Oakville, ON
It is with great honour and respect that I guide people out of the maze of confusion, emotional distress and dissatisfaction towards a life with freedom of choice, joy and a state of well-being. It can take a lot of courage to admit that the resources and skills you have traditionally used to solve your problems are not sufficient in your current circumstances. To quote Albert Einstein, "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." I commend you for taking the first step into seeking support and guidance for yourself.

People seek therapy for a variety of reasons. Some are hoping to deal with a specific issue such as trauma and loss or are facing difficulty adjusting to a new role like becoming a parent or a new phase in their life.

Perhaps you identify as being "highly sensitive". Maybe you're feeling anxious, or depressed, or have a sense of unworthiness. You may be having difficulty managing stress. Therapy is an opportunity to work with an understanding guide, who creates a safe, supportive and collaborative environment in the face of these challenges. Being that guide is my passion. I will help you expand your "toolkit", while developing self-understanding, self-compassion, and connection to your own values, strengths, and wisdom. “Suffering is our call to attention, our call to investigate the truth of our beliefs.” - Tara Brach

Do you feel like the waves of life have been washing over you, like nothing makes sense, and you can't tell which way is solid ground? Perhaps your relationship or marriage seems to bring more stress and tension than the peace and joy it once did? Or work that brought you joy only brings you dread? Perhaps you've lost a loved one and cannot imagine life without them? If any of these resonate with you then I would like to work with you to take the next step.

I'm looking forward to meeting you, and I recognize how difficult it can be to create change in our lives. We may feel pain or discomfort when experiencing loss, anxiety, trauma, or substance abuse, and it may be challenging to do this alone. Having experienced many difficult life events, such as divorce, death of a spouse, and being a mom of 3 adult children, I sought therapy to get me through the challenges I was experiencing. I know the pain that accompanies major life transitions and how overwhelming life can be when you feel like you have no control or support.
