Find a Therapist in North Bay, Ontario.

In my approach to psychotherapy, I prioritize creating a safe and empathetic space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported on their journey toward healing and personal growth. Drawing from a range of therapeutic modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness techniques, I tailor the therapeutic process to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual. By fostering self-awareness, exploring patterns of thought and behaviour, and learning effective coping strategies, clients can gain insights, develop resilience, and cultivate positive changes in their lives. Together, we work collaboratively to navigate challenges, address underlying issues, and empower clients to achieve greater emotional well-being and fulfillment.

Psychotherapy is primarily a talk-based therapy and is intended to help you improve and maintain positive mental health and well-being. I work with individuals, couples and families in individual and group settings. Psychotherapy occurs when the Registered Psychotherapist (RP) and client enter into a psychotherapeutic relationship where both work together to bring about positive change in the client’s thinking, feeling, behaviour and social functioning. Individuals usually seek psychotherapy when they have thoughts, feelings, moods and behaviours that are adversely affecting their day-to-day lives, relationships and the ability to enjoy life.

Life is a journey and we are presented with various challenges along the way. Sometimes we find a path forward and sometimes we get stuck and need guidance and support. Psychotherapy can be an opportunity for you to connect with a trained professional to explore the challenges you are experiencing and to discover new tools and perspectives. As a psychotherapist, I support you on your journey by creating a relationship with you that’s built on safety, openness, and trust. I also help you to discover the resilience that you hold and I support you in strengthening or re-defining the relationships within your life. Contact me or book a free consultation if you wish to learn more.

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 provides us with an opportunity to use an integrative approach to gain insight into your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and interactions. I work collaboratively with my clients to reach their therapeutic goals within an empathetic and supportive dynamic. Whether your goals are for you as an individual or as part of a couple, psychotherapy provides the opportunity for personal growth and empowerment to experience the life you desire.

We use psychotherapy to help clients identify and change negative thoughts, unhealthy core beliefs, and troubling expressions of emotions which effect and distort behaviours. Through psychotherapy we promote adaptive ways of thinking and coping that are beneficial and unique to the needs of the client. It is a way to support the client to meet their goals and live a more fulfilled, happy life.

Psychotherapy provides a confidential space for individuals to navigate a spectrum of challenges, from everyday stressors to complex issues. Therapists offer tools such as cognitive restructuring and mindfulness to manage daily stress effectively. For more significant problems like trauma or depression, psychotherapy provides structured support, helping clients explore underlying issues and develop coping strategies. Regardless of the scale, therapy offers insight, validation, and empowerment, fostering resilience and facilitating positive change in individuals' lives.
