Therapists in Niagara Falls, ON

If you are feeling overwhelmed, lost, Stuck, and alone and trying to leave the past or old patterns, but it just keeps coming back, and If you are struggling to cope with challenges and and you tried lots of therapy and modality and are still struggling, this may be helpful for you. I am a clinical social worker and believe that therapy is a gradual journey that brings growth, held within the safety container of the therapist and client. I treat depression, general and social anxiety, panic disorder and OCD and I am specialized in treating Trauma, loss, abuse, sexual assault, and C-PTSD symptoms

I have 24 years of experience. Clients work with me because they have a goal they want to reach, a pattern they wish to change, a relationship to discuss, or something to heal from the past. My role is to guide you on a transformative journey with unwavering support & provide powerful tools to help you feel better. During treatment, clients learn to trust themselves more & feel less anxious, sad, reactive, or self-critical. Listening to your feelings, thoughts, body, and needs is a skill. When this is personal practice, confidence increases, decision-making is easier, boundaries are clearer, & relationships are less stressful.

While navigating some of life's challenges is difficult to do alone, reaching out for support can be life-changing. When therapy feels safe, non-judgmental, and supportive, healing can take place. Our team aims to support clients by creating an empathic environment, taking the time to understand the sources of difficulties, offering reflections that help deepen personal understanding of oneself, and providing individually-tailored coping strategies. We balance accepting clients as they are with promoting the positive changes and personal growth they seek.
