Solution Focused Brief (SFBT) Therapists in Ravenna, ON

Accessing therapy takes immense courage and I am honoured to support you in taking this step. I work with individuals from a strengths-based, trauma-informed perspective. I believe that engaging in therapy will help you to develop effective coping skills and enhance your inherent resiliency to manage stressors in life. I specialize in supporting adolescents and adults struggling with Social Anxiety, Panic Disorder, Generalized Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma.

Almost everyone will experience grief and loss in their lifetime and while there are no absolute stages of grief and no single way to mourn, every person has a unique experience and response to their loss. We experience loss in many ways – through sudden, unexpected death, miscarriage, infant loss, job loss, the ending of a relationship or through chronic illness, aging, life transitions, end of life planning and anticipating the death of a loved one.

This has been such a stressful time in history. Many people are finding it very difficult to navigate the world we live in. Our levels of stress, anxiety and addiction have increased significantly. Families are fighting over technology and substance overuse. Maybe your family or relationship is struggling, or you have lost your way? There have been so many losses. Lets talk about it and figure out what your next right decision and action may be. It gets easier with help.

At AnxietyLab RN Psychotherapy I work with kids, adolescents and adults who struggle with anxiety, OCD and other mental health issues. Feeling anxious, depressed or overwhelmed with life is hard. It takes the fun out of life and keeps us from doing what we really want and sometimes need to do. Building a relationship and trust with my clients is my number one goal, the foundation of therapy. I always start with a thorough assessment. Once I totally “get” you we can set goals, make a plan, and get to work!

I support the development & maintenance of mental resilience, and recovery when there is traumatic exposure on the job. My focus is trauma, PTSD & operational stress injuries.

~Loving ourselves through the process of owning our story is the bravest thing we will ever do~- Brené Brown. Life presents us with all types of road blocks, situations and experiences that may have our body and mind reacting in different ways or feelings. Children, adolescents and adults all experience feelings that provide internal and external responses. Coping with the way our mind and body feels through these situations does not have to be done alone. Your goals and feelings are important. You deserve a safe space to process and create intentional coping skills.

I use a wide range of therapeutic interventions that best fit each client’s needs. My client-centred practice located in the heart of downtown Owen Sound and provides a calm environment in which clients can feel at home and comfortable. I am dedicated to helping facilitate change in my sessions and I look forward to meeting potential clients and working with them to achieve their therapeutic goals.

Ask yourself... are the struggles I'm experiencing in my life due simply because things are happening to me? Struggles in relationships, traumatic/problematic situations and unwanted thoughts do come into our lives but these struggles lie in our capacity to listen to our emotions and hear what it is they are trying to tell us about all of these things. Our emotions are an early warning system that calls us to action because we are seeking resonance (love, joy, balance, peace) in our lives. When things resonate with us, they feel right. It's a visceral gut reaction. Unfortunately, emotions don't speak English. Our thoughts do.

I am a great listener and I'm able to meet clients where they're at, through a holistic, flexible, person-centered approach. I'm trained in a number of specific therapies and am able to pull from various models to meet client interests and needs. I regularly check in with clients, to ensure that they feel they are progressing within their identified goal areas.

I personally know how it feels to be overwhelmed by the demands of school, work, everyday responsibilities and personal relationships. When challenged by the symptoms of AD(H)D, anxiety or depression everyone can become burdened by life's distractions, unable to prioritize and find the time to nurture relationships, pursue personal interests, meet desired goals and find peace and happiness in our day. To facilitate the changes you would like to see, I will create a safe place to process relationship issues, symptoms related to AD(H)D, trauma, depression, anxiety that have impacted your quality of life.

If you are struggling day to day with general life issues and lack of motivation, drive, and ambition I would like to connect with you. If you feel you have symptoms of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and/or difficulty managing your emotions we can work together to identify the issues that are bothering you and work together to set goals and make a plan to achieve them. I am an eclectic therapist, using tools from many different therapies and theories. I like to take the approach of looking forward to make changes in life rather than dwelling too long on the past. If this suits you, send me a message!
