Dual Diagnosis Therapists in Keswick, ON

We all need support in navigating life’s hardships, which can leave us feeling stuck, alone and overwhelmed. I strive to create a safe, caring, collaborative and supportive environment for you to explore life’s hardships, while also encouraging you to recognize your strengths. It is important for me to create connection, understanding, compassion, empathy and self-growth in your therapeutic experience. My goal is to support you in developing tools and coping strategies, while also digging deeper to create understanding of the underlying origin of patterns and themes within your life that are no longer serving you.

Are you struggling with anxiety or depression? Do you deal with ADHD, ASD, LD, or ODD? Is your child (10+) struggling with any of these concerns? Is your child transitioning from grade school to high school? Or high school to post-secondary? I deeply appreciate the opportunity to support people in learning about themselves, their strengths and ways to self-advocate for meeting their needs and goals. Working in special education has given me strategies and abilities to work with individuals addressing anxiety, school and peer-related issues, self-esteem, and executive functioning challenges.

We all need support in re-connecting with our inner strengths, gaining tools and strategies, and overcoming obstacles. We can work together to help you grow on this journey!

You’re stuck in a spiral of self-doubt, and finding a way out feels exhausting. You remember a time when figuring out how to move forward didn’t feel so complicated, but the life you knew feels like a distant past and the future no longer feels so clear. You’ve held it together for so long, but you’re tired of feeling pulled in a million different directions. You’re ready to feel like your hard work has finally paid off. I help people just like you, ones who have it within them to feel hopeful and grounded again, but just need the support to get there.

As a social worker/psychotherapist, I have 14 years of extensive clinical practice supporting individuals who have endured past and present traumatic and hurtful life experiences. I guide individuals out of painful emotions, thoughts, and somatic reactions by creatively combining therapies and techniques like EMDR, sensorimotor psychotherapy, brainspotting, deep brain reorienting, and other interventions that heal distressing cognitive, emotional, and behavioural patterns.

I invite clients to explore and share their feelings and thoughts in a space of curiousity and acceptance. I hope to accommodate the ways that our body internalizes and expresses itself by taking a holistic approach that recognizes these various ways of understanding. This understanding can be stored in the body in various ways—intellectually, behaviourally, somatically (through the body), and even intuitively.
