Therapists Beginning With D in Ontario
Life can be tricky to navigate at the best of times, and we can quickly feel as though we’re in over our heads. Sometimes we need somebody to walk alongside us, bear witness to our struggle, and offer a safe space to explore what we really need to start living the life that embodies our values. I am a person-centred psychotherapist that operates out of a trauma-informed, humanistic framework in my provision of individual counselling for adults. I am open to supporting folks who may be struggling with mental health, facing difficult life transitions, struggling in relationships, or in need of support for processing trauma or grief.

Relationships can be challenging, whether with family, friends, or co-workers. The same conflicts seem to keep repeating themselves with no sense of relief or resolution. I specialize in working with relationships - with family, friends, coworkers, spouses/ partners, dating. I treat individuals looking to understand/ heal themselves in relation to self and others, and couples seeking solutions and communication skills. Imagine a life where you look forward to uplifting conversations and time spent with loved ones, rather than rehashing the same old arguments and misunderstandings day after day.
