In Person Therapists in Dunnville, ON

I specialize in helping individuals both young and experienced. My purpose as a therapist is to help you work toward achieving positive steps by learning to effectively manage situations and emotions which cause distress, anxiety and interpersonal struggle. I take great pride in recognizing the process, the change and the progress in all my clients, and look forward to helping you pursue your next steps, wherever they might lead.

You want to feel happier and are struggling to understand why you feel the way you do. You are overwhelmed with feelings of sadness, anger or frustration. Expectations sometimes feel high – but no matter what you do, it doesn’t feel quite enough! Maybe mounting anxiety is getting in the way. Even when things are going well, there is something missing in your life. Everyone has the capacity to change and grow! With warmth, humor and a non-judgmental approach, we can deepen your self-awareness and facilitate the change you need.

As a psychotherapist, I seek to provide you with a life transforming experience to help you deal with the difficult issues in your life, such as relationship troubles, depression, anxiety, low self esteem, or grief. I offer you an authentic human relational encounter that fosters growth, support and change. Life growth and transformation can be a beautiful experience, and it is my goal to help you experience what others have previously experienced with me. Finding happiness in life does not need to be out of reach, or seem impossible for you.

At the core of my work with clients we seek to explore your unique responses to three fundamental questions; What direction do I want/need to shift my life towards? What actions can I start taking to make this a reality? What may be getting in the way of achieving this? Individual therapy provides a space for us to slow down and make space to deepen our connection with these questions and evaluate what change is required. This is done by thoroughly unpacking and organizing the jumble of thoughts, emotions, sensations, and narratives that can distract or get in the way and then learning how to take actions that reflect our values.

If you're looking for unconditional acceptance and emotional safety, you've found it. My approach is client-centered, psychodynamic, and trauma-informed, which means I adjust my methods to suit the client I am working with. I believe human development is ongoing, but that the patterns of thought, emotion, and behaviour we learn in early life can impact us for the rest of our lifetime. The good news is, these patterns can change. I will help you bring awareness to your patterns, learn how to take care of yourself lovingly, and make conscious choices about how to live that help you feel more whole.

Successful psychotherapy requires close cooperation between a client seeking change, and an experienced therapist/coach to facilitate that change. I work with individuals, couples, families and expatriates in the areas of trauma, depression, anxiety and chemical dependency. I offer personalized treatment approaches from the fields of clinical counselling, organizational and occupational psychology as well as cognitive behavioral therapy. As a trained EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist, I also encourage lifestyle adjustments as part of a holistic treatment designed to help clients cope, and continue onto their path of recovery.

Experiencing sadness, worry, or distress? Are past traumas impacting your present? Feeling "different"? Is it hard to navigate the world socially? These are some of the mental health, identity, and social concerns that can impact individuals and their families, impeding wellbeing. I provide psychotherapy and assessments to assist with a range of issues including mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, abuse, attachment concerns, anger, autism spectrum disorder, learning/attention issues, addictions, family functioning problems/transitions (e.g., divorce, adoption) etc. I also have unique training and experience supporting gender/sexual identity-related exploration, coming out, and/or transition/surgery readiness assessments.

Welcome and thank you for checking out my profile. Individuals are moved to pursue therapy for a variety of reasons. You may find that you are lacking in resilience, feeling "stuck" in patterns that aren’t working for you, or are enticed by the prospect of living a life aligned with your true values, but are unsure of how to get there. Whatever the reason, I am here to meet you where you’re at. I am skilled in working with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, adjustment, parenting and family issues. I look forward to meeting and partnering with you in this growth process.

Accepting new clients! Anxiety, depression, life transitions, loss, and grief all impact who we are, how we feel about ourselves, and our overall wellbeing. I am a Registered Social Worker (BSW, MSW) with 15 years of experience working with adults and seniors. I work primarily from a Solution Focused Therapy and Coaching approach. I use aspects of Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy.

Throughout life there are many factors that influence and shape the unique person we become. As a therapist, I believe in the power of self-awareness and self acceptance and I seek to assist you in the process of self-exploration and self-growth. I work from a multicultural, nonjudgmental, compassionate, and anti-oppressive lens in order to understand your needs from the context of your environment, personal relationships and upbringing. I value the importance of trust and empathy in a therapeutic relationship as I strive to create a safe space to share and discuss concerns.

Everyone has the potential to grow and thrive despite any adversity they may experience. Life can be challenging and as such everyone can benefit from therapy. I operate from a trauma-informed lens and strive to assist my clients with moving forward with a resilient mindset. I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, adults and families on their grief journey. I respect each client's story. While grief/loss is an area that I specialize in, my expertise extends to assisting individuals who are struggling with daily life stressors and mental health challenges.

I offer both short-term and long-term psychotherapy sessions aimed at enhancing your emotional and social intelligence. If you have an interest in understanding your place in the world, or if you find yourself caught up in complicated relationship dynamics if you are navigating life transitions such as burnout, loss, new caregiving responsibilities, divorce, or if you're feeling numb, joyless, anxious, or depressed, having someone with a broader perspective can be incredibly helpful. Using the adult developmental model, I guide you in repairing your relationship with yourself so that you can co-create with life.

I hope to empower clients to make changes in their lives. I strive to create a secure and supportive environment, allowing for an atmosphere that feels comfortable and collaborative. I listen to my clients with compassion and strive to create a safe space for people to share their experiences and hopes for the future.

Having a trauma-informed and neurodivergent-affirming lens means helping clients explore how their unique experiences have affected their relationship with themselves, others and their future. My approach and training tailors best to those struggling with attachment-based trauma, management of executive dysfunction, regulation of emotion, social engagement and relationship conflict. I am currently seeing individuals and couples virtually across Ontario, or in-person out of our Bolton offices.
