Emotionally Focused Therapists in Cambridge, ON

We all access therapy for many different reasons, but often it's to feel heard, understood and supported. Having an opportunity to be seen as you share your challenges in this supportive and non-judgemental space, together we can make more sense of each situation and create a plan. We are all presented with many challenges throughout our lives, and having someone trained in mental health support can make navigating our life circumstances a little easier. I offer a sliding scale based on your needs. Therapy should be accessible for everyone, and I've been there too, so please do contact me and we can work out a cost that works.

After the honeymoon phase ends, many couples find that they get into emotional and mental ruts, over the long term, these ruts can feel like huge canyons disconnecting people. These pain points can also lead up to building up walls of disconnect to protect ourselves. Through working together, we can not only resolve the pains and conflicts you've experienced, we can create new healthier patterns and help you build the relationship of your dreams.

I would like to help you. You may be struggling and stuck. You may have lost connection to a loved one. You may be grappling with who you are and who you want to be. As a child of two psychotherapists, I was introduced to mental health and relationship growth at a young age. I learned to use a variety of evidence-based therapy techniques with individuals and couples that help to facilitate change and understanding. When things are hard, staying steady takes a tremendous amount of energy and finding a way out may feel impossible. My goal is to assist you in finding your path to change.

Welcome to Therapy Heals! My goal is to develop safety and trust in our therapeutic relationship and to help you deepen your insight and develop self-awareness. I will support you in exploring your past experiences, understanding your patterns of behaviour, and help you make meaning of your experiences.

Do you feel you may not be living as an authentic version of yourself? Are you haunted by your past? Struggling to move forward? Do you feel overwhelmed with anxiety, flashbacks, anxious-avoidant patterns, or impulsive tendencies? As humans, we have an innate need to feel seen, heard, validated, and safe. Seeking therapy is a step towards self-awareness and healing. The differences between our rational and emotional brain can make us feel disconnected and recognizing our internal dualities can be helpful. Reconnecting with our inner child, processing grief, and holding space for our emotions can be liberating and empowering.

When life's challenges become overwhelming it can drain us emotionally, cause meaningful relationships to deteriorate, and take much of the enjoyment out of our lives. Connecting for a conversation with a compassionate, non-judgmental professional can be a great way to get back on track. I enjoy working collaboratively and creatively with clients of all ages and backgrounds. I utilize trauma-based, culturally-sensitive approaches, and I aim to provide useful insights to help you maximize your strengths and abilities, heal from your traumas, and live a happier, more fulfilled life.

Our Cambridge office is open for in-person therapy. I support clients who'd like to feel more secure and intentional in navigating relationships. Do you have a pattern of people-pleasing, overworking and feeling burnt out? If so, let's explore the attachment patterns and past experiences which shape how you think, feel and act. We can then develop cognitive and body-based strategies help to build a foundation of self-trust and "home" in your body when facing intense feelings, emotions and thoughts. This, along with setting boundaries, communicating assertively and increasing self-compassion, can help you to meet your own needs.

Virtual sessions currently available, there is a waitlist for in-person. Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's stressors?

The building blocks for deep meaningful change only come when there is a strong connection and safe space built. It is my goal to create an environment that makes you feel comfortable.

Life is constantly changing and bringing new opportunities and challenges. Sometimes we can feel stuck, hopeless, and unsure of how to navigate change.

I also have experience working with individuals who have concerns about their substance use and their loved ones. My hope is that our work together will help you find a new way to relate to yourself, others, and life in general.

Being a teenager is tough. With pressures from school, parents, peers, and social media, it can feel like everyone is judging you. You might think, “I’m not smart enough,” “I’m not attractive enough,” or “Something is wrong with me!” If you feel overwhelmed by expectations and wish you didn’t care what others thought, you’re not alone. We’ve all been there and felt the same way. I help teens like you let go of these expectations and discover who they truly are and who they want to be. If you’re ready to stop trying to be liked by everyone else and start liking yourself so you can be yourself, you’re in the right place!

As a Registered Psychotherapist, I work with adolescences and adults, couples and families who are experiencing a wide range of issues. Life is filled with challenges, transitions and change. During these times, it is common for people to struggle with anxiety, depression, stress, and feelings of being overwhelmed, affecting them physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

Life can be tough, especially if you are feeling stuck, alone, stressed, disconnected, burned out, or like something is missing. It takes a great deal of strength and commitment to work on the difficulties you’re facing, and you’ve taken an important step in making a change by looking for support. I offer couples, family, and individual adult and youth psychotherapy. If you are experiencing relational strain, anxiety, self-criticism, lack of intimacy and connection, difficulties related to parenting or family dynamics, or you want to develop emotional insight and regulation skills, I am here to provide guidance and support.

Navigating the stress, uncertainty and overwhelming emotions that everyday life can bring is not easy. This is why I specialize in working with teens and adults who face challenges including low self-esteem, anxiety, and ADHD. Together we will explore imaginative ways to better express and understand your core self, develop better coping strategies, find tools for emotional regulation and build lasting resilience. I use techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness.

Therapy shouldn't feel like a chore. While it might sometimes be hard to hear what is discussed in therapy, overall you should leave feeling like you've gained something useful or even transformative. Over time, you should feel you are getting stronger, more resilient and have shed layers of fear and anxiety. Of course this process can be overwhelming at times and you might not always progress on the timeframe that you thought you would, but when therapy goes well, you should feel more settled and more clear about your life. You should gain understanding about yourself and others and have a renewed sense of purpose and passion

Feeling like you’re at a standstill in life? Everyone has a story to tell and you deserve to be heard, validated, believed and supported. As a psychotherapist, I make it my priority to provide a safe space to help you pinpoint where you are stuck and guide you in working through your struggles. This can range from sorting out life changes from careers to relationships and managing secondary symptoms, such as depression and anxiety. You will measure that growth has taken place through an increased propensity towards self awareness as well as conscious focus towards behaviours, thoughts and beliefs.
