Female Therapists in Val Caron, ON

I believe that everyone deserves counselling. There are so many different perspectives, stories, and experiences that make up who a person is. I encourage using a collaborative, compassionate, and growth-mindset approach to therapy. I will listen to your values and narratives and by using evidence-based methods, incorporate them with you to reach your goals.

Do you suffer from symptoms of anxiety, depression or PTSD that impact your self image or interpersonal relationships? Have you been suffering in silence following a traumatic childhood or event? Perhaps you simply don't feel that you can reach your mental or emotional best.

Accepting new clients! I use a person-centered, collaborative approach, placing a heavy emphasis on the individuality of each client and take a ‘no one size fits all approach.’ It’s important to realize that some interventions and approaches that work for some, may not work for others. I have a strong passion for assisting first responders, elite athletes and clients who have experienced trauma or have been diagnosed with PTSD. Often times when clients feel ‘stuck,’ the need to access and process lived experiences and the affects of these experiences (incl. avoidance) via talk therapy, Brainspotting or Prolonged Exposure is key.

Are you at home in the middle of the day eating Doritos in your PJs? Could you use a little more excellence and a little less existential dread? So many of us come to a point where we hit a wall. Distractions, hindering thoughts and the feeling of overall suspended doom eventually creeps in. Do you find yourself hating what used to be your dream job? Maybe you're watching your dreams slip away as you grapple with capitalist confinement? Or perhaps you just haven't witnessed the best version of yourself and can't wait to show up to your own life.

I believe in therapy. I’ve dedicated my career to advancing the field of mental health because I believe in therapy and that everyone should have access to it. In a world that is fast paced, challenging, and often very public, the therapy room offers solace and an opportunity to reflect, heal, and grow ... in private.

My style as a therapist tends to be more interactive than neutral, and I work hard to help my clients to progress toward their goals as quickly as possible. I have been practicing psychotherapy for well over 25 years and have helped my clients in individual and couples session settings. I utilize the ACT, DBT, CBT, CPT, Psychodynamic, and existential therapy approaches. I emphasize treatment methods supported by the latest research findings. My research focuses on improving the predictability of the psychiatric rating scales.
