Anger Management Therapists in Hamilton, ON

You're navigating life, balancing aspirations, responsibilities, and personal growth. You might often hear that you're the "resilient one," able to handle challenges and transitions smoothly. But sometimes, the weight of expectations can feel overwhelming, and the path forward, unclear. It's okay to seek support when the balance tips, and the internal struggle becomes too much to manage alone. You are not alone in feeling this way, and it's okay to ask for help.

An intriguing fact: We are wired for emotional connection. Yet, do you find that you and your partner or family member always get into misunderstandings and conflict? Are you hurting from the wounds of betrayal, abandonment, abuse, leaving you feeling angry, lonely, and struggling to trust others? There is hope! I understand how individuals, families and couples fall into patterns that are hurtful, and feel stuck. I help clients gain an understanding of their patterns of communication; help them heal relational wounds; give them tools to shift into a more skilful, calm, satisfying feeling within themselves and their relationships.

Currently I have NO Waitlist! Are you struggling with thoughts of suicide, self-harming behaviors, conflicts with relationships, your confidence, self-esteem or anxiety? I can help you in the privacy of your own environment. No travelling, no needing a ride, no parking worries. I just ask that you have a quiet private space with a laptop and headset (if possible).

Does it feel like you are stuck in the past and unable to truly enjoy what’s happening in your life now? Unresolved trauma can lead to problematic and distressing thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and impact your work and relationships. My primary area of experience is supporting first responders, frontline workers, helping professionals and adult survivors of relational and childhood abuse. My experience also includes supporting clients to address challenges due to a variety of other mental health and wellness concerns including depression, anxiety, panic, phobias, self-esteem, grief, addiction, stress and relationship dynamics.

It's no secret that life's challenges can be overwhelming. Support from family and friends is important, but support from a mental health professional is unique and without the bias that often comes with a pre-existing relationship. I seek to support my clients during their life challenges and stressors while increasing resiliency and focusing on strengths. Our work together will be reflective, supportive, and collaborative.

Are you new to therapy, and need a supportive, you-focused introduction to life-changing self-awareness? Maybe you've been doing therapy for years, but feel like something from the process is "missing"? Do you still feeling stuck, despite how many breathing exercises and positive self-talk you do? Struggling with childhood trauma, eating challenges, anxiety, grief (or all of the above?). Then let's talk! Using a combination of talk therapy, body-based somatics, critical reframing and psychoeducation, I work with individuals and clients to go DEEPER and get the support and results they're looking for.

I am incredibly passionate about helping others get the support they need to live their best possible lives. In my work, I strive to create a safe and comfortable environment for individuals, couples, and families to talk through a variety of issues such as: anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma, self-esteem, and other life transitions. I use a client-centered, integrative approach to highlight my clients' strengths and work toward meaningful and practical strategies to relieve the stress and pain of their current circumstances. I believe in a collaborative therapeutic relationship :)

Accepting new clients! - I’m so glad you’re here. Life can feel messy, confusing, and out of balance sometimes, and we all need someone to talk to.

I believe in a holistic approach to health, so my clients come in with a slew of different concerns, sometimes without even knowing the full picture. Old traumas often haunt them, grief remains unprocessed, or they struggle to stop acting out in sex or other addictions. I'm certified as a trauma-, addictions-, and grief-informed professional, and have a broad educational base that covers body, mind and even spirit. All of that prepares me pretty well for helping them break the ice and start the hard work of problem-solving. Trauma can heal, grief is a natural process, and addiction can be treated.

My approach is anchored in empathy, authenticity, and a deep understanding of trauma and how it can show up. Through a holistic lens, I merge evidence-based modalities with intuitive insights, crafting a tailored therapeutic experience. Whether you're seeking relief from anxiety, navigating relationships, or striving for personal growth, I am here to support you every step of the way.

When I first meet a client I want to know what is important to them and how they'd like to see their life grow. I have developed a special interest in supporting my client's employment goals especially when life gets in the way of finding a career that is meaningful.

Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, or simply feeling stuck in your life, Im here to help. I believe that everyone has the potential to live a fulfilling and meaningful life, and I am committed to helping my clients achieve that goal. Please contact me to schedule a consultation and take the first step towards a brighter future.
