Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Tillsonburg, ON

In Person, or Online! Weekends, evenings & daytime availability! + Accepting New Clients! In-person appointments for those in South-west Oxford, Woodstock, Ingersoll, Tillsonburg, London and surrounding areas! I often work with clients who experience Anxiety, Depression, Burnout, Relationship issues (friendship or intimate) and mood-related concerns. If you feel like you are struggling with any of these issues, it's okay to ask for help and I would like the opportunity to see how I can be of help. Half of the battle is reaching out, and it looks like you have taken the first step. I offer a free consultation so we can meet and chat!

As a new parent, you’re realizing that your mental health is in need of an overhaul. Things that you were able to push away, distract, or rationalize keep coming up back up (e.g. the birth trauma, your own childhood experiences, your prickly relationships). These painful reminders stop you from feeling fully present with your child. You’re distracted, triggered, and quickly overwhelmed. You want to begin parenting the right way, and that means finally addressing these emotional blocks. You want to feel more in control and like yourself again.

Accepting New Clients - Life can be challenging and sometimes it feels like you are out of sync with what your life goals are. I am here to support you through challenges like anxiety, grief, depression, life transitions, relationships, and more.

We are taking the counselling office outdoors into nature! We will meet and walk at our chosen path either in St. Thomas, Aylmer, Woodstock or Tillsonburg. A comfy bench or shady shelter can work if there are mobility considerations or the weather isn't cooperating . Symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and anger are reduced when we spend time out in nature. Walk and Talk Ecotherapy is also effective in the treatment of grief, life transitions, insomnia, coping with trauma and managing difficult relationships. Spending time in nature in the presence of an experienced therapist will help you reach your goals.

Hey! Welcome! Just in looking at your options on Psychology today, you've taken the first step in figuring out... well, your next steps! Life can be really overwhelming sometimes, and even just sourcing where that overwhelm comes from can be a challenge. Whether its tough stuff you've had to go through, a person in your life causing pain, or worry about the future, I want to help you process these experiences and develop concrete strategies to step into tomorrow with hope, positivity, and purpose. Please note that I only work virtually at this time (phone or video services).

I have a formidable passion for helping you build and energize a joyful, loving & creative life. My clients are high functioning, gifted, and imaginative individuals, plus HSPs. I am naturally engaged, authentic & direct. Unlike therapists who are silent and write on a pad, aloof & distant, I listen with curiosity & empathy to provide ample feed-back when you request it. You will feel at ease. I will provide you with personalized therapy interventions that can help you with imagination, intuition, warmth, & effectiveness. I draw from Narrative, image-based, Psychodynamic, CBT, DBT therapies, & Mindfulness modalities.

I am a registered clinical psychologist. I provide individual therapy and psychodiagnostic assessments to adults. My practice is geared towards people navigating challenges related to trauma, depression, anxiety, emotion regulation and interpersonal difficulties, self-esteem and identity concerns, grief, life transitions, and a desire for personal growth. My clients seek help because old coping strategies are no longer serving them, or because patterns from past relationships are causing problems in the present. Many are feeling limited by longstanding beliefs, stuck in painful emotions, or overwhelmed with difficult circumstances.

I have experience working with adults, adolescents (13+) and couples. My areas of specialty include attachment & relational trauma, self worth/esteem, self sabotage, unhelpful thinking patterns, addiction & substance abuse, relationship issues, depression & anxiety

APPROACH TO HELPING: Life on this planet can be hard. There are ups and downs; pluses and minuses; stops and starts; joys and sorrows. Flux and flow. We all live within that and, sometimes, we need help managing. The right therapy can help rebuild a foundation solid enough to begin creating a life that feels right, for you, according to your values. A place to safely process, redefine and reframe. A place to learn the tools to rebuild, manage and accept everything that comes your way, using the theories, practices and protocols of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment, Interpersonal and Emotion-Focussed models.
