Find a Therapist in Whitchurch Stouffville, Ontario.

In life, we go through experiences that are very hard to talk about. We may not fully understand what happened to us or how to deal with it, or even express it. Therapy is a place to sort it out. It’s a space to increase understanding and grow skills and strength. It’s also an opportunity to make a connection to another human being and, through it, begin healing from the wounds that life has given us. I would like to be here for you on this inner journey and support you as you recover. I have dedicated my life to my own journey and helping others as well over the past 18 years. I encourage you to reach out and unburden yourself by sharing your story with someone who understands.

As a psychotherapist, I offer a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I work collaboratively with clients to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to their unique needs and goals. Through various evidence-based techniques, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based therapy, I help clients gain insight into their patterns of thinking and behavior, identify and challenge negative beliefs, and develop coping strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. Together, we will work towards achieving lasting positive changes in your life and enhancing your overall well-being.

A psychotherapy process helps you find emotional support and new insight for your issues, for those bumps in the road that often crop up.

I use a blend of Client Centered Counselling, Gestalt Therapy and Family Constellations with cutting edge Energy Psychology Methods –especially EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques)—tools to achieve freedom from anxiety, trauma, stress, breakup, grief, abandonment, anger, depression, diagnosis shock and feel calmer, breathe more easily and gain rapid symptom relief.

Exploring your past trauma experiences, childhood history and family of origin, you may understand who you are and your responses in a new way. Listening, listing new options and action steps to think and feel differently are part of this counselling process.

Counseling is working with current life issues and discussing them, processing emotions, and creating action plans to improve issues.
