Eclectic Therapists in Bolton, ON

I'm a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) member under supervision by Denise Mariani and currently practicing at The Story Isn't Over in Bolton, ON. I work collaboratively with teenagers and adults to process emotional experiences and cope with anxiety, depression, guilt, shame, self-esteem, trauma and relational stressors. Unprocessed experiences can lead to a greater manifestation of abandonment, self-destructive behaviours and impact our well-being.

I welcome clients looking for support related to ADHD/neurodivergence (including management, identity, masking, and burnout), anxiety, grief/loss, LGBTQ+ identity, pregnancy, parenting, relationships (dating, partnership, ethical nonmonogamy, separation), and other life transitions. I delight in working collaboratively with clients in holistic and trauma-informed ways, incorporating humour and mindfulness. I endeavour to be humble, with a decolonized, intersectional and otherwise anti-oppressive stance. I value individual identity and collectivism/community and support diverse genders, harm-reduction and various recovery pathways.

I'm a therapist based in Vaughan and Maple, Ontario - with 20 years experience in individual, child, family and couple therapy. As a strong believer in inner peace and acceptance, I work extensively every day to help people overcome suffrage from mental illnesses and other personal struggles. The mind is our most powerful tool, and a healthy mind helps us achieve inner peace and balance that promotes a happy and successful life. Many people experience a mental illness or a life struggle that challenges them every day, and impacts not only their lives, but also the lives of their loved ones. Therapy is a means to finding balance

I view attending psychotherapy as a courageous decision to make positive changes in one's life. My aim with clients is to hear and understand who they are, what they are struggling with, the context around those struggles, and what they want to get out of counselling. Don't know the answers to all those questions? Many of us don't!

I have learned from experience that you don’t have to face difficult times alone. I am here to tell you that I will be there to support you through it all, no matter what challenges you are facing. Life can be uncertain, but one thing I continue to be certain about is that everyone has the capacity to transform their lives for the better. It takes strength to seek support, and I strive to provide you with a safe and non-judgmental space to have your voice heard. I want my clients to look back and see their obstacles as strengths rather than weaknesses.

Taking care of our mental health is more important than ever. Therapy allows you to comfortably share the thoughts, feelings, behaviours and relationship issues that are most troubling in your life. Therapy is a collaborative process, where clients are the experts in their own lives. Together, we will develop an understanding of who you are and the core aspects of what has brought you to therapy. We then will work on building on the strengths you already have and learn further strategies to put you forward in the life you want to lead.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the Ontario College of Psychotherapists and Certified Music Therapist (MTA) with the Canadian Association of Music Therapy. I am passionate about supporting and empowering individuals on their journey to healing and well-being by focusing on the power of the music experience. I use music to facilitate healing for the mind, body and soul. Music therapy can be used with the very young, right up to the very old. It can be used to treat a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, anger issues, acting out, eating disorders, PTSD, separation or divorce.

** Feb 2024 Accepting New Clients ** Acceptance and change are fundamental to our emotional well-being and everyone has the capacity to find their own harmony between the two. I work from a client-centred perspective empowering individuals, couples and families to develop the skills, tools and fresh perspectives required to find a balance in life. My approach to counselling is individually tailored to every client and draws from a variety of treatment models.

On the surface, things are going well, but you've felt anxious and exhausted for a long time. Kids, relationships, work - the responsibilities just keep piling up and you're overwhelmed by life. You know regulating your emotions, and finding balance is important, but you often wonder how and what that even means. Your tendencies to people please, your inner negative dialogue, at times disconnecting from those around you, make it difficult to prioritize your own needs. You recognize the truth, that something has to change.

It is my passion to help individuals liberate their energy from the pain of the past, become more resourceful in the present, and move towards their most fulfilling vision for the future. I specialize in treating adults with trauma, PTSD, C-PTSD, compassion fatigue, stress, burnout, grief, shame, and anxiety. I offer a holistic approach to psychotherapy integrating IFS, SE, EMDR, NLP, TIME, EFT, RTT, HeartMath, Reiki, Hypnotherapy, Spiritual Psychotherapy, and more. I have extensive training in evidence-based and cutting-edge approaches that allow me to create a customized therapeutic experience for you to awaken the healer within.
