Find a Therapist in Haldimand County, Ontario.

Are you tired of feeling bad about yourself, comparing yourself to others and feeling 'less than' or not having the motivation to take good care of yourself? Do you find that your mind constantly drifts to things that have happened in the past or worries about what might happen in the future? Do you find that you've withdrawn from the activities you used to enjoy and are spending most of your time by yourself? I provide Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, which is a blend of mindfulness training and CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy). I provide compassionate care whereby I will help you deal with your issues with more skills and less fear/confusion. I would be honoured to work with you.

In all of the work that I do with clients, there are some primary goals: Promote understanding and eliminate ambiguity. It is only through understanding that we can create comprehensive and meaningful change. I also focus quite heavily on exploring tools and treatment methods with my clients so that they can find their desired change. I incorporate elements of cognitive and behavioural interventions along with a myriad of psychological principles into my psychotherapeutic work.

As a gestalt psychotherapist, who pairs gestalt training with somatic experiencing I can help support you in healing from your trauma. No one in the Niagara Region utilizes the combination of these therapies and applies them to working with couples in crisis. I am sorry to say but popular approaches to healing trauma like CBT will provide only temporary relief at best. If you want to get to the root of your trauma and heal somatic experiencing (SE) is what you need and when supported with the power of relational gestalt therapy you will shift your shit! SE focuses on regulating your nervous system. Gestalt focuses on awareness, contact and authenticity, it will help being relational.

Beginning with a warm and trusting relationship, an environment is built in which we can set realistic, measurable goals in order to work toward your health. I use an integrated approach to therapy which means that which includes family systems, cognitive-behavioural and psychodynamic therapy as well as spirituality. I attempt to be flexible enough to accommodate your needs while creating enough structure to help you consistently move toward your goals. I am a relational person and am not afraid to be myself in therapy.

My approach includes using strength-based, client centred therapies in practice and recognizing that clients are resilient and have the ability to connect with themselves to find answers to any of life’s problems. Other modalities which are helpful include solution focused brief therapy and narrative therapy, whereby clients are able to recognize and build on their hopes. Clients will benefit from psychotherapy, as their negative thoughts will be challenged, resulting in decreased self-blame.

"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will control your life and you will call it fate." No, you won't have to lie down on the couch (although you can if you'd like to). What you will have to do is be prepared to explore yourself, get to the root of your issues, and do the work necessary to achieve real change in your life. I'll help you make sense of your inner world and discover things about yourself you're completely unaware of. Together, we'll dive deep down the rabbit hole and figure out how your subconscious is affecting your life. Get the tools you need to remodel your mind.

I provide a welcoming space where clients can explore challenges, emotions, and patterns in their lives.

Clients benefit by gaining clarity, confidence, and emotional balance, empowering them to face challenges with resilience and a renewed sense of well-being.

Sometimes we don't feel connected. Not only to our partners and family but to life in general. We feel like we are searching for some elusive ideal which we can neither explain or label, leaving us feeling like we are wandering in circles. Using a Jungian and Adlerian approach and dream analysis, I have found that people have been able to break free from the role of the nomad. This approach can require a much longer commitment from clients who are seeking a deeper epiphany about themselves and their lives.

I offer a unique form of Psychotherapy that uses therapeutic art making combined with talking therapy. I use these techniques to guide my clients through a process of self-discovery and help them achieve a stronger sense of well-being. Creating art is an extension of self onto a canvas, which allows my clients to have a means of observing their emotions and inner thoughts, as well as a non-threatening way to express them. Through this, my clients can learn to understand their own behaviours, thought patterns, emotions, and moods. With this technique, my clients can learn to take control of their lives and manage their emotions.

My primary approach to working with clients is Relational Psychotherapy. "Relational therapists help clients understand, on the one hand, their own patterns of thoughts and feelings about themselves, and on the other hand, the power of significant relationships, past and present, to shape this self-experience. Relational therapy strengthens and transforms a client's sense of self, which in turn enhances his or her confidence and well-being in the world." In other words, as a relational psychotherapist, I will be with you as you explore your life, your sense of self, and your relationships with others.

Although often used interchangeably there are some subtle differences between counselling and psychotherapy. Counselling can be thought of as relatively short term with an individual seeking out solutions to a particular issue they are dealing with. It is often concerned with an individual’s behaviour, targeting a particular symptom or problem situation, and is supportive. Psychotherapy, on the other hand, is usually longer term, focusing more on physical and/or emotional problems which either persist for some time or keep recurring. Rather than dealing with a specific problem, psychotherapy challenges an individual’s belief systems and core values.

Clients benefit from attending psychotherapy with me because I bring a trauma-informed, compassionate presence that fosters safety and trust. When life feels overwhelming, confusing, or heavy, I offer a genuine connection where clients feel cared for, seen, and supported. My trauma-informed approach means moving at a pace that feels safe, honouring each person’s story, and creating space for emotions that may feel too difficult to share elsewhere. Together, we explore identity, purpose, and the possibility of living with greater clarity and ease. Clients often discover what self-compassion truly feels like while building resilience, finding meaning, and reconnecting with a deeper self.

In psychotherapy, I offer a compassionate and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and life experiences at a pace that feels safe. My approach is collaborative and integrative, drawing from evidence-based methods to help clients understand themselves more deeply, heal from emotional wounds, and build resilience. Whether you’re facing anxiety, trauma, depression, or life transitions, I tailor the work to your unique needs and goals. Clients often experience greater self-awareness, emotional relief, and empowerment to create meaningful change in their lives.

Psychotherapy is often a journey into the self, an exploration into the caverns of our mind, our emotions, and our experiences. We will engage jointly in a journey that does not travel in a pre-determined direction. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, it's about honoring your unique narrative and creating a safe space to unpack your fears, hopes, dreams, and struggles. You'll gain self-awareness and practical strategies to create resilience and self-compassion.

Psychotherapy allows for personal challenges to be addressed. Through a warm, therapeutic relationship in which individuals, couples, and families are permitted to discuss these issues, my aim is to assist in resolving them. Although many forms of therapy exist to do so, sensitivity will be provided to ensure the client ultimately dictates which ones are to be used. Whether it is amending destructive thoughts, accepting thoughts and feelings that are beyond our control, or utilizing strengths within to formulate new solutions, therapy will be structured to facilitate therapeutic goals in the manner most beneficial to the client.
