Therapists in London, ON

Attempting to avoid painful or distressing thoughts and feelings is natural - we all do it. However, the more we struggle with and try to control our emotional experiences, the more challenges it creates. As a Registered Social Worker with the OCSWSSW, I utilize a client-centered approach and draw mainly on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Polyvagal Theory to guide my work with clients. Noticing and naming our feelings is the first step to gaining more control over our bodies and learning to live a meaningful life that aligns with our values and goals.

My focus is on establishing a safe and nurturing environment where children, youth and families can freely express themselves, explore emotions, and develop the necessary skills to continue to navigate life’s complexities. Recognizing the crucial role families play in the well-being of children and youth, my work extends beyond the individual to encompass close collaboration with their families and support networks. By fostering strong partnerships and equipping parents and caregivers with the knowledge and tools they need, we can build an environment that encourages growth and resilience.

Finding someone you can trust to open up to and begin your healing journey and receive support is an exercise of trust. It is important to trust who will be working with to receive support. I provide evidence-based, specialized approaches to supporting people experiencing complex PTSD, anxiety, depression and other integrative challenges. It will be my privilege to provide you with expertise and support to connect to your body, stabilize and provide ongoing treatment. My services are geared to assist the general public, as well as First Nations, and culturally diverse communities seeking support for healing, recovery and wellness.

We are a private practice of psychologists, behavior therapists and assessors. We are here to help you live a better life; to figure out how you or a member of your family can change behavior patterns that are not working any more. We mostly see clients in our office and on occasion see you at your home. We treat you with respect and compassion.

In my practice, I take an integrative approach in therapy to address issues of anxiety, depression, difficulties managing relationships, emotions, grief and trauma. I believe that experiences in our families and early relationships have an important role in shaping who we are, our thoughts, feelings and beliefs, and influence how we are affected by our experiences throughout our lives. Understanding our attachment experiences, our own needs in relationships, and how we can learn to cope with emotions will help us make the changes we want in our lives. In September I am inviting a doctoral level psychology resident into my practice.

My joy is to help children, adolescents, and young adults embrace their full potential! I conduct comprehensive Psychological consultations and assessments to diagnose ADHD, Learning Disabilities, Giftedness, Intellectual Disability, ASD & other processing or social-emotional issues. I use a holistic and eclectic approach to identify, work & address learning, academic, self-esteem, attentional, adaptive, executive, social-emotional or mental health challenges. I provide direct support, coaching, plans & strength-based recommendations for the whole person as well as their care team. Collaboration with client, family & team is key.

Everyone is unique and encounters different life experiences. Some of these experiences change the ways we think, feel, and act. Children and youth might begin to say negative things about themselves, start to struggle with school performance and peer relationships, react easily and in ways that seem bigger than the situation, and experience physical changes like headaches or stomach aches. Another component of these changes involves looking at how adults are processing their responses to them. It is important for adults to know that supporting a child or youth, in addition to themselves, is not something they have to face alone.

Grief is unique for every individual. There are many different losses that individuals experience, but the commonality is that grief can be debilitating, lonely and isolating. I accompany clients on their journey of processing multiple forms of grief that can include death loss, pet loss, traumatic loss and/or chronic sorrow. I offer in-person, virtual and telephone sessions. I also am available to provide support to clients in a counselling capacity specific to mental health concerns (anxiety, depression, self esteem, family conflict).
