Female Therapists in Newmarket, ON

In my practice, I work mainly with children, youth and their families. I offer individual therapy for children/youth who struggle with issues like self-esteem, anxiety, depression, bullying, emotional regulation and parent-teen conflict. Parent sessions are recommended along side the child's therapy. In certain situations, I provide parent coaching for those who want to reflect upon themselves and develop better parenting strategies. For those seeking individual and family therapy, my hope is to offer a space where each person can talk without shame and begin to compose the life they desire.

I provide care to a diverse range of clients dealing with mental health issues such as anxiety, PTSD, grief, depression, eating disorders, relationship issues, couples counselling, and work related stress. Each session is tailored to your individual needs and goals as you dig deep to address various life challenges on your terms and comfort levels. I provide a safe, judgment-free space for inner healing and evolving, coupled with unwavering support and guidance on your journey to self-discovery and freedom.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with 25 years of experience, specializing in helping individuals, couples, and families face life challenges. It can be a daunting task to take the first step toward seeking counseling, but finding the right therapist is crucial. In my practice, I facilitate a therapy experience where clients feel secure, validated, and empowered to address their concerns openly. My years of professional training and experience gives me a strong foundation of knowledge to draw on when addressing clients' needs.

Challenging and traumatic life experiences can leave people feeling stuck, isolated, and disconnected from themselves and the world around them. Anxiety, negative self-talk, flashbacks, dissociation, withdrawal from life, and sleep issues are just some of the ways in which experiences from our past can impact our present. I have spent over 10 years working with people who have been impacted by domestic abuse and intimate partner violence, sexual assault, childhood trauma, and the sudden and traumatic loss of a loved one.

I am passionate about supporting others in their personal and spiritual growth. I help people going through major life transitions achieve peace of mind, symptom relief, and bring back a feeling of self-worth, acceptance and self-esteem. You could say I help people bring back their aliveness while integrating different approaches to match the therapy to the individual needs of the client. My work is based on the theoretical perspective that our sense of self forms and develops in relationship, particularly with caregivers. Therefore, deep change occurs through the new and intentional relational experience that is co-created in therapy.

With 20 years in the field and a columnist with Metroland News and Newmarket Today, I work with children, adults, couples and families, supporting their mental health. Difficult experiences both past and present can anchor us, keeping us trapped in a space of anxiety, depression, anger and hurt. These emotions can be exhausting and overwhelming. As a therapist, I envision my role as the support to guide you toward making a shift in healing. We do not need to stay in our past, in our traumas and in our pain. We can move forward and thrive; we deserve to do so.

The pressures of life can leave us feeling defeated, misunderstood and hopeless. Despite trying our best, there are moments where we feel overwhelmed and out of control. We want things to change, but may not know where to begin - making us feel frustrated and stuck. My approach is to work collaboratively, to help support you in discovering ways to overcome these struggles. I assist clients who are experiencing relationship problems, trauma, grief, anxiety and depression. As a therapist trained in evidence based techniques my approach is client centered and flexible - one size does not fit all.

My approach to counselling is holistic and personalized to your specific needs in order to ensure your mental health and well-being.

My experiences have allowed me to be flexible and attuned to each individual's needs. Whether your issues be personal, relationships, work-related, or general stress, my goal is to help you feel empowered in your daily life.

Are you seeking support to get to the root of of it all and want to show up for yourself in the face of pain, stuckness, loss/grief, challenging relationships, transitions and trauma? Noticing negative patterns/symptoms? I get how hard it is to challenge every negative thought. Feeling disconnected to yourself and others? Perhaps you are struggling with past or present issue/s. It’s a lot to navigate alone. For 20 yrs I've supported clients who've experienced the complexities of life including anxiety, depression, stress, illness, abuse, work issue, parenting/family dynamics with special interest in neurobiology, trauma and loss.

Are you a young adult, possibly a late-diagnosed female with ADHD, dealing with the challenges of co-occurring anxiety, depression, or complex PTSD?

Many people seek understanding, effective strategies, and practical tools to manage their symptoms and reduce stress, aiming for a balanced, fulfilling life where they feel empowered and in control.

You WORRY. You can't stop thinking. You are in your head too much. Am I good enough? What do they think of me? What does this headache mean? What if this or that happens? You may describe yourself as an over thinker, people pleaser, perfectionist, hypochondriac, or very critical of yourself. You are SURE this overthinking is blocking you from things you want in your life - strong relationships, inner confidence, peace of mind - but you don't know how to stop it!

Life is difficult! But it is important to know that you don’t have to do it alone. From personal experience, I know how a non-judgmental, safe, & empowering space can allow for self-exploration & personal growth.

I am glad that you have found your way here. It takes courage to reflect on life and discover that you are not entirely happy with how things are.

My approach to counselling is empathetic and client-centered. I work with clients aged 13 and above who are seeking support with various aspects of their life. There are multiple reasons for accessing therapy, and whether easy or difficult to discuss, I provide a safe space to explore your current situation.

We often believe we must suffer on our own, having learned to be fiercely independent. Our suffering can show up as lack of motivation, burn-out, isolation, unhelpful habits, abuse, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, feeling stuck, or feeling like we just need to survive the day to day. We may even believe that we are meant to suffer. Perhaps we might believe that we cannot reach our potential or reach out for help, or we have forgotten who we are. When we receive the support that we need, we can all reach our full potential, regardless of what happened to us.

When searching for a therapist several thoughts may be floating around your head. If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious or depleted adding "find a therapist" to your mental load might just put you over capacity. When you are feeling sad, lonely or isolated, reaching out and asking for help may seem like a daunting task that is insurmountable. As a fellow human, I have been in the position you now sit... wanting and needing help and not knowing where to start. When life feels like it's just a lot, sitting with a therapist may be just what you need to decompress, gain insight and feel connected again.
