Therapists in Orleans, ON

Welcome. Thank you for considering me in your search for a therapist. Providing an open space for your emotional vulnerability and following you at your pace is the key to the onset of your healing journey. I work in collaboration with my clients in the therapy room - welcoming their feedback to help guide the therapeutic process. When appropriate for your needs, I incorporate practical tools established in evidence-based modalities and ancestral wellness practices to further assist you towards reaching your goals. I take a strengths-based approach to ensure that your inner strengths are being accessed and cultivated.

Are you navigating the complexities of life, seeking balance amidst challenges, or aspiring for personal growth and understanding? Stress, anxiety, and low mood can sometimes leave us feeling lost, stuck, or disconnected from ourselves. I am passionate about fostering positive change and empowering individuals to navigate through life’s challenges with resilience and confidence. As a psychotherapist-in-training, I am committed to working alongside you, offering guidance to help you identify and meet your own personal goals as you are the expert of your own experiences.

Is your child experiencing frequent worries, difficulty sitting still and paying attention in school, or difficulty making friends? Are you hoping your child will gain new coping strategies to manage difficult emotions? Our counsellors at Attached Kids support children to develop new coping strategies to manage childhood anxiety, ADHD, grief/loss, low self-esteem, big life changes, aggressive behaviour, and other common concerns children face. We also work directly with parents/caregivers to develop new strategies to support their children's challenging behaviours and emotional development.

At times life can be demanding and stressful, even more so if you feel alone and are unsure who to turn to for support and help. But no one should feel like they have to figure everything out on their own. I believe that every person is the expert of their own life but sometimes we need a new perspective or a safe space to talk, open up, and feel heard. As a counsellor, I offer my clients a non-judgmental, empathic, supportive space to fully explore their inner self, thoughts and feelings on their personal journey towards growth and healing.

Life can wear us down. Sometimes we’re in pain, sometimes the ones we love are hurting and sometimes we hurt each other. It can be hard to find our way to peace and connection.

I have expertise working with youth in a mental health setting. My work has ranged in focus from anxiety, depression, acute SA, processing difficult life events and difficult emotions, and working towards building a life that is worth living. I want to help clients discover new strengths and build on existing ones. I will work with you to create a realistic plan for making meaningful changes to improve your quality of life.

Accepting new clients. Many of us experience change as the uncomfortable space that bridges what was once our “normal” and our “new normal”. Whether it is chosen or imposed, change can cause feelings of isolation, vulnerability, sadness or anger. It can alter once predictable behavioral patterns such as sleep, action oriented tasks and social interactions. It begs us to reconsider our relationship to ourselves and the world in which we engage, which can feel disorienting.

You may have those moments - times when you're sad or frustrated, or struggling with the ups and downs of life. These moments can sometimes pass fairly quickly. And other times, they may not. I am deeply respectful of this journey you're on - where you've come from, what you've been through, and where you'd like to be. In a space of safety and honesty, it is my hope that together we can explore those tough moments and gain a better understanding of the blocks to achieving your therapy goals.

New Clients Welcome! - Evenings & Weekends Available - Struggling with feelings of pressure, anxiety, stress, or conflict in important relationships can feel very isolating, lonely, and hopeless.

This often takes a toll on your health, mood, relationships, and overall functioning. I want you to know that you are not alone - I can help. As a dedicated, caring professional I strive to understand and support you in addressing your unique issues, history and experience, focusing on the goals most important to you.

When feeling overwhelmed as an individual, this often impacts our relationships which is why I also offer both couple and parenting sessions.

Currently Accepting Clients! If you’re reading this – I want you to know that you are valued, your story deserves to be heard, and deep beneath those layers, you possess every seed of change! Life was never meant to be “uncomplicated”, after all, aren’t we all complex and dynamic individuals who experience self discovery each and every day? I believe we all have strengths and inner resources to work on challenging goals, improve relationships, and develop healthy tools to navigate future uncertainties. Taking those initial steps towards self-improvement and healing is a bold and noteworthy step!

If you are an “over” person - an overthinker, overwhelmed, or overworked - then you are one of the people I work with best. You are hard on yourself, “self-care” is confusing or guilt-inducing, you can get paralyzed by intense feelings, stuck in negative thought spirals, or find yourself shutting down. You may have been wondering for a long time how to turn off negative thoughts or let go of things you can’t change. The constant weight of what you believe you “should” be doing can feel immobilizing, and the endless fight against the “what ifs” is exhausting. It may feel impossible to move on or let go of negativity or trauma.

My work is about building a strong therapeutic connection with you and co-creating a safe place where you can share your authentic self. My practice is informed by cognitive behavioural therapy, narrative therapy, and mindfulness practices, as well as my own lived experience as a racialized member of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, and my education in both kinesiology and social work. I'd love to be able to support and work with you to help you create the changes you wish to in your life. Outside of private practice, I work at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO).

Navigating life can be difficult, especially when you’re in new territory. Feelings of depression or anxiety can spiral into more fears and doubts. Being a young adult brings all sorts of pressure, and most of us don’t get much education in how to make that transition. It’s common to cope by avoiding, using drugs or alcohol, or isolating. Fortunately, things can improve. Life may never be perfect, but you can learn new skills and effective ways of dealing with challenges. I work with teens and adults of all ages, and specialize in helping young adults and couples who want to feel more confident, accepted, and joyful in the world.

Making the choice to find support can be a challenging decision that takes courage. We all face challenges in our lives and a qualified practitioner’s guidance can help you better understand your current situation and empower you towards reaching your goals and healing. I have a particular interest in working with individuals who are facing issues of trauma, PTSD, C-PTSD; however, I work with a variety of concerns, such as depression, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, chronic pain, stress and burnout, TBI, life transitions and support. I believe in trying to find and treat the root problem to facilitate change and improve wellbeing.

Je parle français - I am a bilingual psychotherapist fluent in both English and French.

Are you craving more calm? Improving your relationship with self can help foster greater trust and overall health, and it will often improve your relationship with those who matter most to you too. Therapy is intended to help you better navigate life’s inevitable challenges – uncertainties, transitions, and hurts – with greater care and intentionality. We do this by looking at your strengths, your values, better understanding your emotions, finding more helpful perspectives, and by growing your self-compassion and self-confidence.
