Do you worry about what you ‘should’ be doing or feeling? Juggling work and personal commitments can lead you to feel like there’s never enough time to get everything done. Worrying about the future, or looking back on what you could have done better in the past, can feel overwhelming. This cycle of feeling like you’re not living up to your own expectations, or those of other people, can make you feel unsettled, off-balance and like you’re not fully present in your own life.

It’s challenging to figure out who to choose when you need to talk to somebody. Where is the therapist of the “bad break up”? Or, relationship breakdown, even if it is with yourself. You want to talk with someone who’s training and experience reflects your struggle, of course. I have worked in psychiatry, both in hospital and community crisis work, (military, police, therapists, teachers) victims of infidelity, domestic and sexual abuse. If you are ready, take heart, change can happen. Gift therapy time to yourself or a loved one. It's free to meet me. FergusCounselling.ca/ola/services

Have you been feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or lost in your thoughts? Do you find yourself pushing down emotions or trying to keep yourself busy to avoid "this feeling"? Have you been mean towards yourself and the situation, shaming yourself for what has happened? Maybe your life has been filled with fears or worries and this has started to make you feel run down. You're starting to find that not only are your thoughts and emotions affecting you, but they're beginning to affect your relationships around you. It can be awkward to find a therapist and to make sure you find someone who understands you.

Did you wake up today and think to yourself, "something isn't right" or "I can't go on like this"? If you are struggling with your substance use and you're feeling like you are no longer in control, it might be time to consider change. Maybe you are tired of hiding your drinking as a way to cope with your mood. Maybe you have noticed that while getting high works in the moment to help manage your nerves, you are actually more anxious now than you have ever been. Change is scary, but may be necessary for you to reach your full potential.

If you're scrolling, scrolling, and hoping for a connection with someone here... it makes sense. It shouldn’t be natural that we divulge our deepest heartache to a total stranger. We can all hear a version of that echo "don't talk to strangers!" Right?! Research supports that the experience of safety and connectedness is primary to therapy success. This is my priority in therapy. After this, I operate from these assumptions: 1. Everything is “figure-out-able”. 2. You have within you the wisdom you need to reach the goals you desire. I’m here to help you find it. 3. Together, we decide where you want to head.

Every single person, no matter their challenges or situation, has intrinsic value and worth. This is why I believe it is vital to work from a strengths-based stance, and why I spend the time to assess everyone's individual talents, skills, and unique strengths. I believe diversity is beautiful, and that part of my role is to collaborate with your personal knowledges. I utilize an anti-oppressive lens to better understand how systems and power structures impact your life, and work to help you navigate this world. Everyone is deserving of supportive, safe health care.

Hey there! If you’re looking for a therapist who believes that healing can be both meaningful and a little quirky, you’ve come to the right place. Think of our time together as a journey where we’ll navigate life’s complexities—like a road trip filled with laughter, tears, deep conversations, and a few unexpected detours.

I am passionate about working with clients who are looking to understand themselves better and wanting to understand how trauma, pain and certain narratives have impacted their sense of self, identity, authenticity, sexuality, pleasure, etc. My goal is to empower my clients through guided self-exploration, psychoeducation and support as I help them face the pain that may be interfering with who they are at their core and how they want to show up in their daily lives.

I recognize that life is complex, and so are the issues we live with. Whether it be a significant change, like losing a loved one, or tension within a meaningful relationship, it can feel overwhelming and hopeless trying to find our way through these challenges. I believe that we have the solutions to solve our problems within us and, at times, this requires us to reach out for support to uncover the answers to overcome these problems. From there, we seek to understand how we can learn from these hard times to strengthen ourselves and our relationships and find meaning from our experiences.

One million Canadian men suffer from major depressive disorder each year. Three of every four completed suicides in Canada are by men. The prevalence of alcohol use disorder is twice as high in men with another mental health diagnosis than in the general population. One third of Canadian men worry that talking about mental health at work could put their job at risk. Men are just as likely as women to have mental health issues yet are far less likely to utilize traditional mental health services. Men are more likely to believe that mental health services are difficult to access, ineffective and invasive. At Cogent, Ontario’s new mental health clinic focussed solely on supporting men, we’re changing that.
