Chronic Illness Therapists in Oakville, ON
The desire for self-awareness, personal growth, and change often motivates individuals to seek out psychotherapy. Disharmony within our sense of self and others can lead us to experience thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that prevent us from living our happiest and most authentic selves. Whether it is coping with grief and loss, processing trauma, or navigating existential concerns regarding identity or purpose, self-exploration within a psychotherapeutic relationship can move us towards an increased awareness of how these dynamics operate within our lives, and forging commitments toward actions that yield meaningful change.

Welcome to taking your first step to finding the right support for yourself. Being human is a challenging experience, now made more so by technology’s rapid growth in the 21st century. Advances in telecommunications have brought convenience and ease of staying in touch with others but they have also added more complexity to navigating living in our current times and to genuinely connecting with one another. I believe my clients have the inner resources to heal and create their own happiness.

Do you walk on eggshells or do you live to please others for fear of making others upset? The reason you can’t seem to heal your chronic stress & depression, health and finances in your relationship, isn't because you haven't already tried talk therapy and various healing modalities; it’s because of a dysregulated nervous system and codependency from long-term narcissistic abuse with an angry person. You need to break free and heal from this within, untangle the confusion in your mind, gain clarity and be your sovereign and most authentic self, where you validate and approve of your core self. Feel safe and confident to be you.

You have excelled in your professional life, often pushing yourself to the limit with perfectionist tendencies, yet deep down, you feel stuck, anxious, and disconnected from any real sense of joy or purpose. The pressure to perform masks deeper struggles with self-worth, unresolved family trauma, depression or anxiety. You often feel like no matter how much you achieve, it’s never enough. You're exhausted from trying to keep up the facade of having it all together and longing to cultivate deeper, more meaningful connections with the people who matter most to you.
