Female Therapists in Mattawa, ON

I'm a registered psychotherapist who is passionate about helping those who work in public safety, first-responder/military, and other trauma-exposed professions. I've blended my knowledge of psychology, biology, and personal experience to inform my approach to psychotherapy.

There are many different reasons why you might be seeking out guidance from a therapist. Maybe you’re at a place where you want to develop yourself in a particular area. Maybe you have experienced significant trauma. Or maybe you are going through a difficult transition, whether it was planned or not, and need help navigating it. Whatever might be happening in your life right now, I want you to know that I will help you each step of the way. Nothing is too small or too big to talk about. "Together, we will work on understanding the issue at hand and then we will work together to strive for the change you want to see in your life."

Are you looking for therapy for yourself, your family, your child or teen? Would it be helpful to have someone to touch base with in a private, safe space? Is your child or teen struggling to manage overwhelming emotions, or are you dealing with outbursts of aggression or anger at home? My experience includes supporting individuals who have experienced trauma(s), attachment difficulties, ODD, ADHD, ASD, anxiety, depression, ABI/TBI, self-harm and difficulties with emotional regulation.

I am a person-centered, trauma-informed, culturally responsive psychotherapist as well as a Registered Nurse with over 25 years’ experience helping individuals and families navigate health and wellness. I am now accepting new clients for Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) which is a psychotherapy modality for psychological trauma that helps process traumatic memories in just a few sessions. ART reduces the impact of symptoms related to stress, trauma, and distressful events and its methods help to change the way stressful images create negative effects in our day to day life.

You want to feel better. You want to better manage your life, your work, your relationships, create balance and hold boundaries. You want to be the best version of yourself for your children and loved ones. You want anxiety to stop holding you back. You want to better understand yourself, why you feel, think, and do as you do. Something isn't working- but you don't quite know what it is, or how to create change. You need someone who can help. I hope that through our work, you can live more fully, with less fear, more confidence, healthier relationships, balance, and a better understanding of your needs, your values, and your self.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario with over 10 years experience. I have a Master of Arts degree in Counselling Psychology, Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology, and a Mental Health and Addiction Worker diploma. I have been trained in a variety of therapeutic interventions, including Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Strength-Based/Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. My approach is to work from a non-oppressive/non-judgmental perspective, while encouraging clients to make their own life decisions.

Are life challenges getting you down? Are YOU or your loves one struggling?

I will provide an environment of compassion and support to help individuals and families overcome obstacle to help them thrive and move forward in their life's journey. My primary goal is to provide quality counselling services to individuals and families who are struggling with a situational crisis, seeking short term or long term counselling.

Life can be challenging. Change can be difficult. Knowing which steps to take to get unstuck can be overwhelming. Having someone to lean on for support and guidance could make this process more manageable. That's what I'm here for! Whether you're here today because you're juggling multiple roles, struggling to get out of bed or be around other people, trying to adapt to a new life after a painful loss, dealing with conflict in close relationships, or lacking a general purpose or direction in life, this could be your first step towards living the life you want.

There’s so much you’d like to do, yet it feels like your life has come to a standstill. Inner chaos and pain, or numbness and disconnection seem to take up so much space, making you lose valuable time. You’re exhausted from living in fear, or dealing with the frustration, bitterness, or shame that comes with not being able to move forward. While your experience can lead to isolation as you find it hard to be around anybody, you may also find it difficult to be alone at all, impacting your ability to have healthy relationships. You feel as though pieces of your life have been lost along the way and all you want is to have them back.

The goal of psychotherapy is similar to the goal of life, which is to live the best life possible. But life is full of change and challenges, some of which we embrace and even pursue full heartedly, some of which we are initially shocked by but are able to manage with minimal disruption to our lives. At other times such experiences can be disorienting, leaving us feeling lost, confused, hopeless, and at times unable to move forward. If you are feeling stuck in any facet of your life, psychotherapy can be a valuable means of re-orienting yourself.

Pregnancy, birth, postpartum and the transition to parenthood can be full of both joy and challenges. Our relationships with those around us and ourselves can shift and change over time. As you navigate this new role difficult emotions, uncertainty, overwhelm and a change in identity can be part of the journey. I work alongside you to offer non-judgmental compassionate support and build skills and strategies to manage mood and anxiety symptoms, and this overwhelming stage of life as you build self confidence and efficacy.

I am committed to creating a safe and supportive space where your experiences are valued, your struggles are understood, and your growth is celebrated. My primary goal is to establish a therapeutic relationship based on unconditional positive regard and emotional safety so that you feel supported and empowered throughout your journey.

If you've found your way here it is likely because you want to understand more about yourself and how your experiences in relationships, both familial and otherwise, have shaped and perhaps even control, your current behaviour.

Past traumas may linger in the face of life's seasons, hindering your ability to be your true self. You may repeat unhealthy relationship patterns or engage in ways that don't serve you. You may feel disconnected from yourself and your body, and lose your sense of Self in relationships. You may grapple with negative self-talk, stress, anxiety, and burnout, struggling to manage your energy and emotions. Overthinking, overachieving, self-criticism, and self-doubt often prevail as you question your purpose and whether you’re on the right path. I know how tiring, frustrating, and defeating this can feel.

At different times in life you may find yourself in need of support to get through difficult experiences and personal challenges. It takes courage to even begin searching for a therapist.

I help people like you find your inner strength, wisdom and hope during these challenging times. I can provide you with a safe space to fully express all aspects of who you are and what you're experiencing and help you find your way through. I look forward to working with you.
