Find a Therapist in Aylmer, Ontario.

I have provided Individual Psychotherapy for over 20 years. Over the course of my career, I have gained training and expertise in many different therapeutic techniques including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, EMDR, Somatic Therapies and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. With such a wide range of therapies in my toolbox, I'm able to provide people with individualized and tailored therapy approaches that meet their specific needs.

Hello and welcome. I will support you as you make decisions that prioritize your best interests. I am here to listen to your experiences, thoughts, and emotions. I will guide you through exercises and techniques (often somatic or compassion-based) that build confidence, reduce stress and anxiety, bring ease to your mind, and soothe your autonomic nervous system.

Anybody can do counselling, but it takes skill to be a therapist. Clients who come to me find they do most of the talking. My role is to listen, try to understand what you are thinking and feeling, and reflect that understanding back to you. I want you to feel deeply heard. I want you to feel someone cares. I do not give you solutions. Rather, I help you find them within yourself.

Some people avoid counseling because of stigmatization and fear of the unknown. By using the Bio-Social model it allows a full assessment which will guide the therapy in a structured manner and give the individual a goal to work towards. As well it allows me to start therapy where the individual is by building trust and understanding while giving them alternatives to acceptance and change. There is no more guessing or wondering what to expect because you are the driver of the vehicle and I am a passenger who will ask questions that may help guide you onto better things. Therapy sessions provides the individual an opportunity to become aware of their own well-being.

Psychotherapy is a longer journey that examines the present and the past to identify the repeated patterns of unhelpful approaches you take to dealing with your life's challenges. It's a process that fosters self-discovery, helping you uncover your strengths, resilience, and psychological awareness. One of the key challenges is to maintain a balance between exploring the past and staying present, ensuring you don't overlook something important in your current life. Trust and kindness during your therapy naturally evolve in good psychotherapy.

Psychotherapy with me involves understanding how your life (family, trauma, relationships) has created beliefs, fears and sensitivities that affect your emotions, thought patterns and choices today. We will work together to enhance your awareness of and ability to cope with emotions triggered in the present. I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and EEG Neurofeedback to achieve your goals for healing and wellness.

I commonly provide support for trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and crisis of meaning or purpose. I often work with individuals who are seeking to better understand themselves and also value personal growth as part of the therapeutic journey. In sessions this often looks like a holistic approach to exploring an understanding of concerns from various perspectives. Through a process of self-exploration and dialogue, I support clients with developing practical insights and solutions to real-life concerns. I engage a holistic and depth approach, drawing primarily from an integration of my training in relational, psychodynamic, somatic, and attachment-based approaches to therapy.

I have been providing psychotherapy since 1996. Through psychotherapy, I have been able to help individual, couples and families to address their challenges/problems and achieve their therapy goals. My approach is client-centred, solution-focused, and using cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques. Through psychotherapy, I can help you to improve your thinking, feelings and/or behavior.

Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner. Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns. Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.

Psychotherapy provides you with an opportunity to take a deeper dive into the roots and origins of the things that challenge you in your present life. Many of the struggles we have related to our thoughts, feelings, behavioural patterns, and relationships have roots in earlier life experiences. Many people have experienced difficult life experiences and even trauma, which can have a lasting negative effect on the quality of present life. As difficult as it can feel, working with a therapist to peel back the layers of past experiences, explore and make connections with current day challenges, can help bring about a deep sense of peace and connectedness in daily life.

My role as your therapist is to assist you to explore, reflect and accept yourself. From the safe haven of therapy you probe what you feel, know and maybe fear. It is an in-depth conversation with me but even more with yourself. Through this you reach new perspectives: awareness, feelings, thoughts, intentions plus better understandings of what has happened in your life. From there you can make changes towards healthier actions - calmer and in a more balanced, assertive position in relation to others and yourself. Such personal learning can certainly be done without a therapist - they just assist. Like hiring any consultant, it should certainly be you who is in charge of this journey.

Psychotherapy uses evidence-based approaches to help clients better manage daily stressors, gain perspective, and gather practical coping skills to apply in real-life. Clients are active catalysts in their healing, and together we will determine the best steps forward based on your individual needs and preferred therapy goals. Sessions offer a safe and non-judgmental space where you can become reacquainted with the real true you.

As your therapist, I begin with getting to know you and what life challenges have brought you to my office. From there I guide you through your life story to uncover what brought you to this stage in your life. We will explore your personality, needs, wants and future aspirations to uncover your strengths. Happiness is revealed when you let go of your pain and embrace your self worth. You deserve to accept yourself. I will help you develop a self care plan that gives you the resilience to conquer anything life throws in your path.

I've heard a lot of people tell me that they thought "therapy was only for crazy people". It's not. Psychotherapy can keep you from going crazy! Having a trained professional to assist you in making sense of your life can be a very "un-crazy" thing to do. Besides, the process can actually be fun and enjoyable. In additon, I offer body-oriented psychotherapy which integrates the awareness of the body in helping you to manage intense emotions or physical symptoms.

I embrace uniqueness and everyone's experiences ARE unique, they're ours. I approach each client with uniqueness and authenticity. I like to apply psychodynamic counselling and empowerment strategies to aid in better understanding our experiences and feelings while striving to build our voices and assert ourselves in the present and the future.

Individual therapy is focused on your unique needs and goals. Individual therapy includes learning about your history and life experiences then establishing goals to accomplish in counselling. Our histories are the roots that provide us with a foundation of strength and resilience. But, our histories can also hold the stories that cause pain, insecurity and doubt. It is our belief that the best therapy comes from helping to heal the roots that cause those stuck points. Through this we can create lasting change.

During our sessions, you will slowly reveal different parts of yourself that have been buried, and we will work on integrating them so that you can operate from your strongest possible self. We will work through any trauma that may be holding you back. There is freedom and ease around the corner, and it all starts with a simple email or phone call.

Through a compassionate lens, I help individuals and couples foster a sense of perspective and understanding so they can meet their needs. I strive to make each person feel at ease to openly discuss what is on their mind while integrating various approaches based on the individual needs to get immediate and long-term positive changes. My ultimate hope is to support my clients in developing the confidence and belief in themselves to move through life’s challenges by leaning towards truly self-compassionate actions.

Psychotherapy provides an opportunity to explore the challenges you are facing in a safe, non-judgmental space. As you share your experiences, we will be looking for adaptive and maladaptive patterns of thinking, feeling and/or behaving to move in a more helpful direction. I may ask questions that lead to better understanding of your current struggles and potential solutions. Increasing awareness and understanding of emotions and body sensations may also help to live a more integrated and authentic life.

Although I have training in many different modalities of treatment, I believe strongly that the critical factor in deciding which approach to use, is you. My approach in integrated, so while the theory may guide some of my thinking and planning about how to help you, your own wisdom, experiences, and capacities help me to develop strategies that you can learn in the counselling room, and then put into practice in the real world. Safely. Thoughtfully.

Using talk-based therapy and psychotherapy modalities such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Ego State Interventions with EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Gestalt Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and clinical hypnotherapy, among others, I help individuals, couples, and families understand their feelings, moods, and behaviours to improve their overall well-being.
