Find a Therapist in King, Ontario.

The ebbs and flows of life are part of the human experience. Cultivating a meaningful life through them can sometimes be a challenge for all of us. No matter your goal, I strive to empower you to develop the meaningful, rich life that you desire. I use integrative, evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), somatic, narrative and strength-based interventions, individualized to your needs. I have over eight years of experience working with children, youth and adults in an array of professional mental health settings. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, procrastination and more.

My approach to psychotherapy is rooted in post-modernism and occupies a systemic lens and strengths-based perspective. I believe that clients are the experts of their own lives, and my role is to help make sense of their experiences and facilitate their confidence in implementing the changes they want to see. Further, I believe that any emotion, reaction or feeling has its place and can be a normal response to specific circumstances. Part of my aim for therapy is to facilitate understanding to help clients move forward. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to ensure we are a good fit.

My approach to counselling is attachment based and trauma informed. I have extensive training in Emotionally-Focused Therapy, the gold standard in couple's therapy, which I apply in my work with couples, families, and individuals. During our sessions I take an engaged and active role in the process, focused on helping you to identify the areas where you may be stuck and working with you to make changes aligned with your goals.

Psychotherapy has been with humankind since our origins. However, about a century ago, psychologists tried to systematize and formalize psychotherapeutic interventions and, depending on their worldview and perspectives on human nature, they created various approaches that currently exceed 400, which can be confusing and misleading. A successful psychotherapy, regardless of the lenses and title, should acknowledge that every person has a unique mind and, as a result, a unique mental world. The therapist’s job is to help the client explore this world in a supportive environment. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Psychotherapy provides a valuable opportunity for self-exploration and personal growth. I offer a client-centered approach, integrating various therapeutic techniques to address your unique needs and goals. Whether you're dealing with specific mental health issues or seeking general self-improvement, we’ll work together to explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours in a supportive environment. My aim is to help you gain insight, develop coping strategies, and achieve meaningful change in your life. Reach out to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to begin your journey toward personal growth and healing.

My approach is to work collaboratively with clients using a holistic model of therapy which entails a blending of Eastern and Western modalities. For example, training in meditation, yoga, Tai Chi, proper exercise, a nutritious, science-based diet and maintaining proper sleep hygiene. Also, including talk therapy can then help to reveal core values and issues. Mindfulness training benefits clients in observing clearly thoughts and behaviours. Clients benefit greatly through the use of evidence based interventions by developing the skills needed to evaluate thought patterns and overcome destructive patterns.
