Personality Disorders Therapists in Hamilton, ON

Are you struggling with your mental health journey and need someone to support, listen and journey with you? We are a team of psychotherapists that offer psychotherapy at affordable rates. We offer a sliding scale, and we offer therapy is different languages.

Are you feeling stuck in a negative cycle which keeps you distant from your goals, yourself, and other people in your life? Are you struggling with trusting yourself or other people? I specialize in helping clients work through perfectionist tendencies, Borderline Personality Disorder, and anxiety. The work I do with clients is often a 'deep-dive' into longstanding relational patterns, which are often automatic, that determine unnecessary suffering.

Trauma shows up in many different ways. Perhaps you’re experiencing anxiety, chronic stress, unexplained pain or illness, digestive issues, disturbing reminders of past events, past or current abuse or emotional numbness. Maybe you just haven't been able to shake the emotional effects of the pandemic on you and your family. With over 30 years of clinical experience providing psychotherapy services, I work with adults whose lives have been affected by such overwhelming feelings and situations, grief and loss, family and relationship concerns, emotional abuse, attachment wounds, intergenerational issues and workplace stressors.

I spent about 10 years in the highest burnout sectors of social work. From this experience, I have developed a keen trauma-informed perspective, supporting populations navigating systemic barriers and compounded complex mental health. I have also worked with a large breadth of mental health diagnoses, within every category of the DSM, from a client-centered and strengths based framework. With this experience, and practicing therapy modalities that are transferable to various mental health difficulties, I would say that I am a generalist.

I offer you an authentic human relational encounter that fosters growth, support and change.

Are you new to therapy, and need a supportive, you-focused introduction to life-changing self-awareness?
