My life experience is my greatest asset in counselling you through life transitions following major injury or illness, divorce/separation, career change, blending families etc.
If you are struggling day to day with general life issues and lack of motivation, drive, and ambition I would like to connect with you. If you feel you have symptoms of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and/or difficulty managing your emotions we can work together to identify the issues that are bothering you and work together to set goals and make a plan to achieve them. I am an eclectic therapist, using tools from many different therapies and theories. I like to take the approach of looking forward to make changes in life rather than dwelling too long on the past. If this suits you, send me a message!

It's not just you, life HAS gotten harder in the last few years. If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.

You're a man who just deals with it and on to the next. It can feel easier to rely on yourself. Maybe you always feel misunderstood when you speak up or that you’ll be a burden if you show them what’s going on inside. You are supposed to be strong and not weak, right? What happens over time is you lose your voice. You feel overwhelmed and lonely, even if you are in a relationship. You can end up shutting yourself away because you just feel so stuck. You might find the frustration of it all gets the best of you because it builds up into anger.

As a registered psychotherapist, I know that when we aren’t feeling our best, we tend to view ourselves as irreparable, broken, and end up directing a great deal of shame towards ourselves. I also know that pain is part of the human experience and is often trying to tell us something. When we can be curious with our pain rather than fearful, we are more able to take action to solve problems. Sitting with someone in your pain who can help you facilitate self-compassion and curiosity and identify what you may need can make a big difference.

Hi, I'm Kathy! I am of Algonquin Anishinaabe and English European heritage. I am a proud member of the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan First Nation. Like many Anishinaabe people, I come from a family of story tellers. Whether we were sitting around the kitchen table or the campfire, stories were the way we understood where we came from and how we knew where we belonged in the world. As I got older, I began to wonder about the stories that weren’t told. The stories that were too painful to share. Becoming a therapist has allowed me to create a safe space to explore, understand, and give voice to our most painful stories.

Divorce Counsellors
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.
What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioural, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.
When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.
How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
