Emotionally Focused Therapists in Milton, ON

Welcome, you have taken the brave step by clicking on this link to embark on a journey towards mental & emotional well-being, this is awesome, congratulations. For over 20 years I have delivered excellence in clinical service to individuals, families, children, and couples. How can I help? Are you feeling despair, confusion, regret, hopelessness, and distraught? Are you in pain more than you can imagine? You are in the right place. I strive to create a space where you feel supported and heard with a client-centered approach to empower individuals as they navigate life transitions and maximize personal growth in meaningful ways.

I am a registered Clinical Psychologist (Ontario) who specializes in working with children, teens, parents, and families. My approach in working with clients is to provide a supportive and caring relationship within which they can explore and address issues meaningful to them, identify their psychological needs, and expand on their strengths to meet these needs. In my work with children and teens, whatever the issue we are addressing, I encourage the development of skills in self-reflection and effective communication to promote the capacity for positive engagement and healthy relations (e.g., family, peers), which are cornerstones of psychological well-being.

Do you feel stuck in struggling with your unprocessed feelings, repeating the same patterns and not being able to move forward? Or maybe you feel helpless as your family is suffering through a crisis or an ongoing challenge. Coping with anxiety, depression, conflict in relationships or past trauma can make you feel resigned to a state of survival. Specializing in trauma, couples counselling, and children’s mental health I can help you reduce stress and conflict and find new meaning in your life and relationships. I also lead a team of diverse therapists and social workers and together we can cater to the needs of the whole family.

My name is Victoria and I am a Registered Psychotherapist, RP. I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. Currently, I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults aged 13-25. I provide support for stress and anxiety, panic symptoms, depression and low mood, relationship and friendship issues, perfectionism, and people-pleasing tendencies. I also have extensive experience in the sports industry as a former NCAA-Div-1 soccer player. I specialize in helping youth athletes overcome performance anxiety, boost self-esteem, and manage stress.

You've been thinking about seeing a therapist for a while now, perhaps months or even years. Maybe you thought you were managing well, but then COVID happened. Let's face it, life can feel chaotic and messy at times. This may lead us to feeling overwhelmed, confused and lacking a sense of direction. We may feel burdened with anxiety, worry, fear or anger regarding the wellbeing of ourselves or relationships that we care about. In an effort to be helpful, family or friends may try to give advice, but that may leave us feeling even worse. This can make reaching out for support all the harder.

I am a person centred, trauma informed, culturally sensitive psychotherapist who also worked for over 25 years as a registered nurse supporting individuals and families. I currently have the privilege of helping individuals facing anxiety, low mood, stress, burnout, grief, relationship issues, and difficulties navigating life transitions. I also work with couples who are seeking to overcome their challenges and strengthen their relationships. I am also passionate in supporting parents of young children, parents of teens and emerging adults and parents who find themselves experiencing estrangement with their adult children.

You really can have a life of abundance, peace, happiness and joy! Have you and your partner been experiencing emotional distance from one another? Are you both exhausted from repeatedly falling into the same patterns of conflict? Do you sometimes feel like your partner just doesn't understand your perspective? Perhaps you care for your partner, but no longer feel "in love." At some point, the relationship lost its spark, and now you feel like you're just coexisting as roommates, barely interacting due to busy routines. You might find yourselves more inclined to scroll on your phones rather than engage with each other.

I have a passion for helping people attain optimal mental health, thru improved coping with life stressors/experiences and also personal healing/growth. Basically, I want to help you (or your child) thrive! I have extensive training and experience with a broad range of issues and treatment modalities. I am certified with the College of Psychologists of Ontario in the areas of Clinical & Counselling Psychology (both assessment & treatment) for Adults, Couples, Adolescents and Children. My approach is tailored for each unique client and also allows for the integration of spiritual issues into therapy when appropriate and desired.

I love working with new parents, and am passionate about perinatal mental health for Moms and Dads.

I want to help you live the best life possible! I enjoy working with adults and teens looking to address psychological issues that are negatively impacting their quality of life and ability to manage stressors. I have expertise in the treatment of anxiety/phobias, depression/motivation difficulties, uncontrollable worry, emotional dysregulation, trauma, disordered eating, anger, and interpersonal difficulties. I listen to the individual needs and concerns of my clients, share ideas about what will help based on my extensive knowledge of research-based approaches, and work together with my clients to bring about positive change.

At times, many of us contend with emotions and suffering that are overwhelmingly painful, disheartening and difficult to bear, often as a result of unique stressors and events. I work with adults, adolescents, families and step-families using Emotionally Focused Therapy, EMDR, interpersonal psychotherapy, and DBT/CBT within neuroscience and attachment frameworks. I encouraged clients to access inner strengths and free their capacity for growth. Whether you or a family member experience depression, anxiety, marital distress or difficulties with peers, you deserve support in a confidential, accepting, safe and caring environment.

Welcome and thank you for visiting my profile. My hope is that through our work together you feel empowered to understand, strengthen and repair your relationship with self and other, even when it doesn't seem possible. I work from a collaborative and client centered stance; facilitating individuals, couples and families towards a greater understanding of their emotional responses and needs. As we become aware of ourselves and our needs, we have a better sense of where to make change. My specialties include Maternal Mental Health (pregnancy/postpartum), Substance Use & Addiction, relationship struggles and Hold Me Tight Workshops.
