Therapists in M4L

Do you feel like your anxiety stops you from living your life? Like self critical thoughts are always running through your mind and your brain won't "shut off"? Or maybe you've been through trauma that you feel like keeps affecting you in the present? I specialize in supporting teens and adults to help you have more confidence, feel more in charge of your own life and finally feel hopeful about your future again. My work is rooted in compassion and together we can equip you with the tools to cope with life's challenges, understand yourself better, and go from surviving to thriving in order to create the life that you deserve.

Accepting new clients, no waiting! Feeling stuck or anxious and can’t seem to shake it? Maybe you’re feeling more snappy or drained but you aren’t sure why, you just know it doesn’t feel like YOU. Things like hyper-independence, people-pleasing and burnout from stress or trauma can make it hard to prioritize your needs (or even know what your needs truly are!) I can help through a process of uncovering unhelpful patterns, facilitating emotional awareness, and healing past wounds that might be holding you back.

If life transitions, multiple stressors, traumatic events, perinatal challenges, burnout, or low self-esteem leave you feeling disconnected, worthless, anxious, or frustrated, I am here to help you make sense of your pain and create a life worth living. With compassion, warmth, and a dash of humor, I will work with you to deepen your self-awareness and identify what's not working in your life. I will support you develop practical coping skills and new emotional, thought, and behavioural patterns so you can live by your values, achieve your goals, and meet your needs.

Are you ready to make a change in your life and are committed to the process of therapy? Do you have a willingness to show up for yourself and are able to take responsibility for your piece in the work? I enjoy working with individuals who have mood disorders such as anxiety and depression as well as emotional regulation and attentional issues. Are you someone who has thought about what you would like to get out of therapy and are ready to take the plunge and build new healthy habits? If so, you are my ideal client, regardless of diagnosis and life circumstances.

I understand that starting therapy can be daunting and that finding the right fit with a therapist can be a difficult process. My approach to therapy is collaborative, strengths based and person centered, meaning I tailor therapeutic modalities and techniques to your unique needs. I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities such as Psychoanalytic Psychodynamic Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Solution-focused Therapy, or Mindfulness-based practices to help you build a connected & secure relationship with yourself and to better understand & navigate your present issues.

Whether we identify as male, female, transgendered, non-binary, mother, father, or other, I know one thing for sure; we are humans playing a part in this game of life. We all practice being human, unconsciously and/or consciously. We all experience life's most difficult trials and troubles and yes, we also experience joy. This is immutable. Given this reality, how can we live our life optimally, rich with purpose and fulfillment while balancing the curve balls, the numbness, the stress, the cravings, or the hurt? The truth is, you can do it. We can do it together. Sometimes all you need is a patient helping hand.

Seeing a therapist can be both daunting & exciting. Being vulnerable with someone, let alone a stranger, is tough for many. My hope with all individuals is to provide them with a safe space, that is comfortable & healing. My office is judgment-free & I am here to best support those willing to seek growth & change. What to expect when first seeing me? Relief & hope. I am aware that so many people want to be heard & validated, especially those in difficult relationships. I also believe that people enter therapy feeling stuck. We will shift between your past & present, identifying negative beliefs that continue to challenge you.

Music therapy is an evidence-based approach to wellness rooted in hundreds of years of human knowledge and tradition. It can help you to change your perspective, clarify your emotions, and relax your body and mind. You don't need musical training to benefit from music therapy; all you need is a willingness to explore the potential of music to support the changes you're looking to create in your life.

A Concurrent Disorder occurs when an individual is experiencing a mental health problem and a substance use problem at the same time. As a therapist working with both of these issues, I can support you with enhancing your motivation for change, identifying triggers, regulating emotions and urges, and with relapse prevention planning.

As your therapist, I would be here to get to know you and to guide you in developing skills and insights to create changes that are real, meaningful and sustainable. I will be entirely present and tuned in to what you are experiencing, your fears, distress, motivations and goals. The process will be explorative, providing you with an understanding of how your experiences, thoughts, emotions and behaviours impact one another. Structure will help reach outcomes for your goals, mental health, identity, life transitions and relationships. Your feedback will be encouraged and use to guide your unique treatment, we will work as a team.

Are you having trouble meeting high expectations that you've set for yourself? Do you feel like you're under the pressure to live for other people's goals? Are you sometimes left feeling unseen and unheard? Are you used to surviving by keeping your head down and working hard? Living life like this can be draining and unfulfilling. I've got a keen interest in helping people like you rediscover your purpose. I want to help you loosen the tightly held beliefs that you've been handed down in hope that you'll be more in touch with the most authentic version of yourself.

I invite you to be curious. To explore. To discover. To remember. To be courageous. To find strength in vulnerability. To use that vulnerability to foster intimacy and connection with those who you love and have yet to love. Mostly, I invite you to allow. To allow yourself to heal. To connect with you. To love you. And to become who you were always meant to be (and have always been). I invite you to experience the profound healing that occurs when we enter the depths, approaching our darkness so that we may discover our light. I invite you to expand in consciousness. To shed the false narratives and stories that you once needed.

Do you find it difficult to express how you really feel? Is it a struggle to make sense of painful emotions or past trauma? Do you wish you could feel more understood? I'm Sean and I want to meet you where you are, I want to help you feel seen and heard, you deserve to feel felt and understood. Together, let's gently lean into the difficult pieces of your story. I can work with you to discover, uncover and understand your emotions, anxiety, and depression and unpack your trauma.

Being a human can be beautiful, but also hard- often sticky and overwhelming, full of stress, anxieties, transitions, uncertainties, loss and grief. Recognizing that it can be hard to ask for help if you're struggling, or if you just want to find more meaning and fulfillment- you do not have to do it alone. Whatever you are currently experiencing, we will work collaboratively to build up your resources and resilience, navigate relationships and establish positive coping skills while we unpack feelings, thoughts and patterns of behaviour that are no longer serving you.

I know that making a decision to start therapy isn't easy. It can be anxiety-inducing, whether you are new to the process or experienced. I understand that and will work with you at your own pace. It is also important that you feel a sense of connection with your therapist, and that you feel seen, understood, and valued. As we work together, we will build a safe therapeutic relationship for you to explore your patterns in relationship with others, and with yourself. I will listen with curiosity and compassion to your stories- the ones that are causing discomfort or pain in your life and the ones that bring you happiness.

If you wake up and dread having to start your day - let's talk. Whether it is work, school, home or even your relationships, life seems to keep throwing you challenges that you don't want or know how to manage. It's starting to feel like you're stuck in a never-ending pattern. And as humans, we often do function on autopilot and get caught in cycles of behavior that we know aren't healthy or good for us, but we just can't stop. How is it that we can be so aware and feel so powerless at the same time? What if I told you that it's not your fault and that human brains are actually wired that way for an important reason?

Life moves quickly, leaving little time to process your feelings. As a result, you might end up avoiding or suppressing them, which can lead to increased anxiety or a sense of heaviness. Therapy provides a space for you to express and understand your experiences and emotions. Together, we can explore your thoughts and feelings, helping you gain clarity and develop strategies to navigate life’s challenges more effectively.
