Find a Therapist in Windsor, Ontario.

Psychotherapy with me involves building a mutually respectful and collaborative therapeutic alliance so that we can safely and openly address and process your issues. Through this process, you can gain valuable insight and self-knowledge. I believe that change happens when you become fully self-aware of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and from that point on you can choose how you would like to think, feel, and behave going forward.

The foundation of therapy is a trusting and supportive relationship where people can feel safe to explore themselves and the world around them. Each person comes to therapy with a unique story and as a therapist, I believe in providing a treatment experience that is as unique as the individual themselves. I provide therapy using a strengths-based and collaborative lens and foster healing through connection and empowerment. Book a free consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Psychotherapy is ideally a safe place for clients to begin unpacking their issues to begin looking forward towards their best hopes. While it can certainly be challenging and intimidating, my goal is to help clients embrace the discomfort in exploring these tough issues to ideally imagine a better future to ultimately pursue. While my practice can center around resolution of goals, I also believe some people just need a trained clinician to talk to in a less goal-oriented formal matter.

Psychotherapy's major objectives are to reduce symptoms, maintain or enhance day-to-day functioning, and improve quality of life. Psychotherapy helps with managing stressful life events, the effects of trauma, medical disease, or bereavement (such as the death of a loved one), and some mental health issues like anxiety or depression. Positive physiological and neurological changes have been associated with psychotherapy, which has been shown to enhance emotional and psychological health. Psychotherapy comes in a variety of forms, and certain forms may be more effective in particular therapeutic contexts. Psychotherapy may be used in combination with medication or other therapies.

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.

Psychotherapy is a dynamic process that provides great explanations for understanding human behavior. Personality development begins during the first years of life. Children born into warm and empathic environments are likely to grow into healthy adults. If this nurturing is absent personality disorders can develop. Psychotherapy explains some of these derailments. Without help many people continue to function in dysfunctional ways. The barriers erected to survive in the past become harmful to their present situation. Psychotherapy helps people re-gain a feeling of safety and self esteem. Through this restoration people are then able to begin enjoying more meaningful relationships.

Many people have ideas about how therapy should look or feel based on what they have seen in movies or tv, and some of those ideas can be scary or intimidating. Therapy should be a safe space where you feel comfortable sharing and exploring your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with someone who offers you empathy, authenticity, and acceptance. I believe that clients are the experts in their lives and will work collaboratively with you to explore the stories you hold about yourself and the world around you to find meaning, facilitate change, and highlight your strengths and successes.
