Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists in London, ON

Sometimes we need someone to listen us in order to gain insight and understanding, then we can come up with a plan to help manage or address what we are going through - whether it's a difficult life transition, a loss, or stressful life event(s). My approach to counselling is to create a collaborative process to support individuals with their mental health recovery. I work from a strengths-based perspective in order to assist people as they overcome adversity and life challenges.

Accepting NEW Clients! - Are you hoping to feel less "stuck," anxious, or sad? Is there a part of you hoping to reconnect with yourself and build confidence, build better boundaries, or understand how your childhood impacts your present? Do you want to learn coping strategies or skills for daily life or ADHD? Have you experienced a loss that you're looking to work through, or find stress is too present in your day? Do you sometimes just need someone to create a neutral space for you to tell your story?

When life introduces us to complex experiences and emotions, we may find difficulty in processing the residual trauma or feel stuck in it. We may even notice a limitation to talk therapy, as our experiences with trauma may be difficult to put into words, however, an impact can still be felt by the nervous system, even through memories. Using Integrative Somatic Therapy Practice (TM), we move through what is not only conscious, but also explore what is held by the unconscious mind. This approach to somatic therapy deepens our understanding of how the body holds trauma, bringing awareness before allowing release.

I work with professionals, medical residents, graduate, post-graduate and doctoral students by helping them to feel more empowered and less stressed in their high-performance environments. By providing guidance to those facing challenges, I support the process of change during life transitions. Together we explore areas that may be causing symptoms, patterns of behaviour and learn how to accept your own feelings while creating a deeper sense of self. I coach and provide training on how to acquire or improve skills and strategies needed to regulate negative emotions, increase distress tolerance; and minimize and manage triggers.

Welcome! I am currently accepting new clients for July 2024! I offer individual and couples therapy both in-person and online. I want to thank you for taking the time to read my profile. Here is a little bit about my beliefs and therapeutic approach. I believe that everyone has the potential for growth and an innate ability to make desired changes in their lives. Sometimes, that ability can become obscured or hindered by trauma, anxiety, or stress. I am here to help you rediscover that ability, move through your pain, and walk alongside you on your path of self-healing.

Making the decision to engage in therapy can be difficult, finding the right therapist can feel even more challenging. To lessen this obstacle, I offer a NO FEE initial session so that you can find the right fit without the added cost. Drawing from the latest knowledge in neuroscience, trauma, and attachment, I bring over 14 years of clinical experience to help you make sense of your inner world; how it impacts your relationship with yourself, with others, and how you engage in your environment. Together, we can use this awareness to move towards having more agency over your thoughts, responses, and your experience of your life.

Life after trauma can be hard. Really really hard. You never quite go back to feeling like yourself. You experience the world differently- people, places and things can trigger feelings of unsafety. You may be feeling numb, detached or out of body. Other times, you can feel irritable and snap easily. Trauma will impact your ability to trust yourself & those around you. Maybe it's beginning to impact your relationships with yourself and/or others. Sometimes you’ve been living in survival mode for so long that you begin to feel hopeless. Unhealed trauma commonly manifests in the body chronically.

Do you feel that you are changing after a hurtful experience? Do you wish to have more control on your reactions and thoughts? Do you want more clarity with your thoughts?

Is there a new and happy experience in your life, but it's more challenging that you expected?

You're not feeling like yourself. Even though you put on a brave face, you question if anyone truly sees, hears, or understands you. In your most honest moments, you recognize that these feelings have been present for a while. Someone close to you— maybe a friend, family member, or even your partner— has suggested you might need some support. You've searched your symptoms online, yet you still feel uncertain about what you're experiencing. You've even attempted therapy before, but it felt like it barely scratched the surface. You're looking for something deeper, but don't know where to start. You're not alone in this experience.

I strive to support and empower you to conquer your challenges and proclaim mastery over your life to the best of your ability as you move towards a future that is curated by you, free from past pain or adversities.
