Female Therapists in Richmond Hill, ON

Amidst the chaos and unpredictability of life, it can be incredibly challenging to feel grounded. As someone who has been in therapy myself, I know how important it is to have a safe space in which we can process the ups and downs we encounter as we move through the world.

I am calm, non-judgemental and a skillful clinical social worker of extensive mental health knowledge and working experiences with individual and couple of diverse ethnic and cultural background. I have exceptional passion in working with people who experience and struggle with emotional and life adjustment difficulties, personal and relationship tension, poor school/occupational performance and behavioral challenge due to anxiety, depression, borderline personality traits, anger issue, loss/grief, post-traumatic stress disorder, trauma, ADHD, and chronic pain post motor vehicle accident.

I am an M.S.W with over 10 years of experience in clinical social work. I work with children, youth, families and adults with the goal of creating a safe and supportive space that allows clients to tap into their intuition and inner wisdom in order to thrive. I specialize in anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, self-harm, parenting and stress management. I view therapy as a collaborative journey in which clients are supported in creating new and more meaningful and fulfilling ways of being in the world.

You might be struggling with your relationships, current events or life experiences. You might be feeling a ‘stuckness’ in ways of thinking and behaving or your sense of yourself. Therapy offers a process to find new awareness and understanding, new ways to cope, clarify and resolve difficulties, and change and grow in meaningful ways. Various difficulties bring people to therapy. Some are dilemmas in personal, family and professional relationships. Some are anxiety, depression, and troubling internal conflicts. People can feel low self-esteem, a sense of inauthenticity and purposelessness.

On your journey to self-discovery and personal growth, it is common to encounter obstacles that hold you back from becoming the best version of yourself. If you are experiencing stress and anxiety, difficulties in your relationships or if past experiences are holding you back, isolation doesn't have to be your companion. We can work together to examine and address the issues that are creating turbulence in your life and provide you with the support you need to thrive.

When we avoid what we need to face, we suffer the symptoms that bring us to therapy. We are wired to bear the pain of real life, but our psychological suffering can be unboreable. Sigmund Freud called psychotherapy “a cure through love” and I truly believe in this. The wounds that accrued in a relationship must be healed in a relationship. A relationship where the therapist doesn’t talk “at us” but “with us.” I believe all individuals can develop into mature, fully realized adults. However, inner or outer obstacles can make this path difficult. My role has always been to support my clients to remove these obstacles.

Do you feel bad about yourself? depressed? anxious? have difficulties in your relationships, school or work? Are you a newcomer struggling to find yourself in the new home, or simply need a change? Either way I believe you can reach to your goals and I'm here to help you with compassion, humor and an organized structure for change. I'm a Registered Psychotherapists (RP) in Ontario with years of experience working with amazing clients like you. My clients always inspire me with their hard work to make changes in their own lives and in the whole world.

Life is short yet long; sometimes, happiness feels fleeting, and most of the time, we face various challenges: a family of origin, academic pressure, romantic relationships, marriage, parenting, career anxiety, illness, grief, life transitions, etc. When facing these big and small "hurdles," do you also find yourself pulled by different voices within, in need of a place where you can be seen and heard? Fate may play tricks on us, but who knows if this is not an opportunity for growth? I am willing to create a safe, warm space where we can listen to those voices, understand our different needs and find meaning in our experiences.

You thought you'd have life all figured out by the time you reached your 30s but you're feeling more lost & anxious than ever lately. The pressure of hitting those life milestones (get married, buy a home, have kids, progress your career) leaves your head spinning. You're constantly overthinking, doubting yourself & feeling like your best is never good enough. Not to mention the every day struggle of balancing all of your responsibilities, relationships & goals. Everything has gotten so overwhelming and this isn't where you pictured yourself at this point in your life. You're ready for a change.

Your 20s/30s aren't what you expected them to be and you feel more lost than ever lately. Between your career, relationships, life changes, & responsibilities, it feels like you're drowning and the panic to get your life together is REAL.

Your mood shifts, you get a pit in your stomach, and you start to doubt and question ev-ery-thing. You're exhausted, over feeling stuck, and are ready to feel good about your life and where you're headed. I hear you and I can help!

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), and I identify as a BIPOC as well as culturally inclusive individual. Navigating through the ups and downs of life can be difficult for you to endure alone. It is a challenge to find a balance between your work, home, and personal life. Rumination about the past, and worries about the future are constantly on your mind. You encounter inner conflict, and conflict between yourself and the world. Conflicts put pressure on your relationships with individuals in your life. Strained relationships are overwhelming as they affect how you think and feel.

Many people spend vast amounts of time and money getting an education, obtaining a driver’s license, planning a wedding, or achieving their dream job, but few people are willing to spend the same amount of time and money investing in understanding themselves, knowing their values, and determining how to choose a partner who is a good match for them. By educating ourselves about who we are and what we really want in our lives, we increase the possibility of living happier lives.

I am a Master-level practicum student at Yorkville University. I am under supervision with Danny Seto and working at his clinic in Richmond Hill.

Welcome to this space! Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have someone who can understand what you’re going through? Someone whom you can connect with in your darkest moment and feel that you’re not alone in your pain? My journey has led me to explore my own shadows and disconnection with life. I understand what it feels like to be judged, shamed, live in pain and fear. These are invisible wounds that can be overcome and healed. And you don’t have to do it all by yourself…….Life also has possibilities of hope, grace, peace, happiness and forgiveness. Give yourself the gift of experiencing these possibilities.

Has "getting by" become a way of life? Are you feeling hijacked by anxiety, stuck in cyclical low mood, or simply overwhelmed in relationship dynamics? Toxic stress and trauma destabilize our nervous system and shake up our sense of safety and control. In therapy, we open the doorway to understanding and neutralizing the roots of your triggers. Trauma-informed therapy works to stabilize your brain and body so that surviving transforms into thriving. It empowers you to restore balance within... to become the architect of your mind... and to cultivate a resilient self, unburdened by the past or life's circumstances.

We all have blind spots and limiting beliefs that stop us from healing and making a change. I can show you what yours are and help you get past them because I have experienced similar challenges: the death of my loved ones, divorce, and moving to a new country alone.

Together, we work towards uncovering your ability to use your strengths in tackling and overcoming obstacles and barriers, so you can feel empowered and at peace.

As a registered social worker and a psychotherapist, I am committed to creating a safe space by taking a non-judgmental stance and remaining flexible to your needs. Therapy is a place where we can collaboratively embark on a journey to work towards your goals while maintaining your role as the expert of your own life. The focus of therapy is to better understand and address the situations, thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and behaviours that are contributing to your distress. Once we build this awareness we can work on the areas that are no longer serving you through processing and skill building.
