Emotionally Focused Therapists in Ingersoll, ON

Relationships are everything! My approach focuses on things that impact your personal relationships. The health of our relationships impacts every aspect of our daily functioning. If relationships with friends, family or significant others are impacting how you feel about yourself and the world then my services may be for you.

As a parent, do you wonder how best to support the emotional needs of your teen or how to get them to open up to you? Do you dream of a closer, deeper relationship with your teen but you aren’t sure how to get there when it feels like they’re pushing you away? If your teen is experiencing difficulties in relationships with friends or family members, emotions that feel overwhelming or out of control, or difficulty making healthy decisions, let's talk about how I can help.

As human beings we may feel lost/stuck due to painful or challenging life experiences. This can impact our ability to live our lives fully. I am passionate about working with individuals who have concerns around stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, relationships, grief, and life transitions/work-life balance. Support may look different for each person, while some may want to focus on building coping strategies, others may seek a deeper healing process. One of our first steps will be building awareness of your needs, the change you want in your life and identifying your goals to make this change possible.

Are you feeling uncomfortable and overwhelmed navigating the challenges life throws at you? Are anxiety and depression taking away from your enjoyment of everyday activities? I am here to help you work through the challenges you are navigating, and help you work towards personal growth and development.

As a Registered Marriage and Family Therapist, I offer counselling services to adult clients, on an individual basis or as a couple. There are many different concerns that I can help clients process, including relationship issues, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, women's issues, and life transitions. There are no pre-requisites to counselling; I will work to meet clients where they are at on their journey and help them process from there. Depending on the concerns, I have a strong network of resources (both community and other professionals) that we can access if necessary.

Even though your life looks good from the outside, something just doesn’t feel right. No matter how much you accomplish, you continue to feel guilty, small and like you’re not enough. When you think about it, you probably don't even know who "you" are or what you enjoy anymore. Maybe you never really did know. It may feel as though stress has taken over your life. Work is no longer fulfilling, your home life & relationships are suffering and you feel defeated at the end of the day. All of this leaves you feeling overwhelmed, down and confused, and you're not sure how to move forward.

When life is difficult, we often don't know where to turn. Through discovery and compassion, comes hope and growth and that is the goal counselling aims to provide. I have been practicing counselling for 20 years and I provide individual counselling to those over the age of 16 who are looking for hope, support and growth. I am available to see clients in both London and Ingersoll and my role is to support clients in finding ways to improve the quality of their life and finally feel like they can move forward.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck because of your grief, trauma experiences, relationship issues or anxiety and want someone to help sort things out, work through effective strategies....Or perhaps your child or teen are feeling overwhelmed? Are you looking for strategies to assist with structuring of routines, support with understanding your child’s individual needs OR maybe you would like individual support or couple counselling? We have a team of skilled therapists that are ready to help!

It is our hope for you to be able to walk along your path confidently and successfully. However, we realize that sometimes in order to journey well on that path we require support. Like a well along the path offering sustenance and rejuvenation, health and wellness services can offer a place to process, learn and grow, so that you can once again journey well. We work to create positive change and enhance physical and mental well-being through genuine connection.

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

NOTE: Unfortunately, I am NOT currently accepting new clients. I expect to have availability again in early September. If you think we might be a good fit, please reach out at that time. <> Maybe you or someone you love is struggling with anxiety, depression or eating challenges. It's hard ... I get it. I can help. I'm a highly-experienced therapist who works mostly with teens, young adults and their supportive families. I'm a people person ... compassionate, enthusiastic and down-to-earth.

Accepting new clients! Individual and couples counselling. I believe that every person has the ability to heal from past and current pain and it has been my great privilege to be a part of people's healing for over 20 years. I am a Registered Psychotherapist that has worked with clients experiencing a variety of struggles including: trauma, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, addiction, relationship issues, life transitions and stress management. I offer an integrative and tailored approach that meets each person's individual needs.

Are you feeling stuck? Perhaps you are experiencing a major life transition: grief, divorce, empty nester, new job, retirement and you are wondering where you go next. Do you feel like your anxiety has taken control of your life? You are finding it hard to lean into the uncomfortable; turning down social connections and finding it hard to stay motivated. Or, are you wanting support either individually or with your partner so that you can work towards a healthier relationship?

I work collaboratively with my clients to find ways to manage their problems, so they can get back to living a fulfilling life. I assist individuals who are struggling with anxiety and stress, motivation issues, feelings of sadness, social anxiety, relationship issues, family issues, workplace stress, chronic headaches, and concussion. I have worked in a variety of mental health agencies providing counselling to students, adults and individuals from different sociocultural backgrounds, gender expressions, sexual orientations and gender identities.
