Manulife Therapists in Oakville, ON
We can't pour water from an empty cup. As a caregiver or a new Mom, you might be burning the candle at both ends, putting everyone else's needs ahead of your own. Over time, you might find yourself imploding with rage, guilt or resentment. Wondering, who am I? What are these scary thoughts I’m having? Is it this hard for everyone else? I know what it’s like and I am here for you. I love working with caregivers, and am passionate about perinatal mental health for Moms and Dads. I am also experienced in supporting people working through grief, ambiguous loss, dementia, cancer, anxiety, depression, and credit card debt.

You don't have to go through this alone. I believe that therapy should be a collaborative, nonjudgmental, and empowering process where we work together to help build your coping skills to deal with whatever challenges you are going through.

To develop clear insight of awareness towards our instinctual values, I believe it is critical to embrace, validate and acknowledge one’s individuality. Helping clients process the primary distinction between self-identity and where they want to be, is based on genuinely empathizing and understanding ways that we can best serve clients by applying therapeutic modalities that address their biological, physical and social constraints.

You are an adult that struggles with problems that may interfere with your relationships and day to day functioning such as anxiety, depression, stress, and low self-esteem. You hold yourself to higher standards than you hold others and feel disappointed when you do not achieve perfection. You may be a partner, parent, or caregiver for other people who you prioritize above yourself. You probably recognize that you have needs that are not getting met, but you struggle to even identify what those needs are. You are looking for solutions that will lead to lasting improvement and you are desperate to feel better.

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.
