Find a Therapist in Barclay, Ontario.

Sometimes therapy is not about a single problem, but about wanting things to feel different. You may feel stuck in patterns that affect your relationships, emotions, confidence, or ability to feel fully connected in life. My connection-first approach focuses on helping you better understand yourself while building healthier ways of coping, communicating, and relating to others. Therapy with me is collaborative, supportive, and focused on meaningful change that feels realistic in everyday life.

Kindred Hope Wellness' team of psychotherapists provides psychotherapy for clients. In doing so, we can address anxiety, stress, depression, self-esteem, relationships, and many other concerns you may carry. Our team's approach is acknowledging that you are the expert in your life and your therapist is here to listen, guide, and support you. Each individual is unique, so the main approach is to find what fits you best by collaborating together to walk on your journey.

My general psychotherapy approach is collaborative, client-centered, and grounded in emotional awareness and practical change. I support clients in exploring thoughts, feelings, and behaviours while also developing tools they can use in daily life. Therapy is not only about insight but also about applying that insight in meaningful ways. Clients often experience increased self-understanding, improved coping skills, and greater alignment between their internal experiences and external choices, leading to more intentional and grounded living.

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 is sometimes called the "talking cure". It is the process of understanding both the conscious and unconscious parts of ourselves and how these inner dynamics shape our emotional life and patterns of behaviour. It isn't always easy, but this process can lead to an increased understanding of the forces shaping your inner life. Once this happens, you'll create new possibilities for change.

A psychotherapy process helps you find emotional support and new insight for your issues, for those bumps in the road that often crop up. Having an empathic, warm, respectful person who points out your blind spots and who listens to you can help you deal –and make sense—of the pressures and challenges you face. 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.

Our style is marked by a collaborative approach that creates a safe space for exploration and for issues to be resolved.

There can be lifelong benefits to pursuing psychotherapy. Many people experience personal insights and significant improvement in their overall mood. Psychotherapy can target specific issues, such as: worry, irritability, anxiety, sadness, lack of motivation, etc., or it can improve general mental health and well-being by helping you take back control of your life.

I provide a personal and non-judgmental approach to finding solutions. Given my training in various therapeutic modalities (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Hypnotherapy, Motivational Therapy, Solution-Focused, Existential and Humanistic, Gestalt and Family Therapy), I am able to use the "best fit" approach to ensure that you achieve your desired outcome, no matter what problem area (personal, relational, marriage, sex, etc).

The process of ‘talk therapy’ allows individuals to explore their feelings, thoughts and behaviors in a safe, non-judgmental and supportive setting. Psychotherapy offers the opportunity to process our lived experiences, change negative thought patterns or behaviors, and develop more helpful and healthy coping strategies. It is a collaborative treatment based on the relationship between an individual and therapist. Therapy can get messy and painful at times however there are rewards when we do the work including, greater freedom, peace and joy.

I am a transformative and depth psychotherapist. This means that I look beyond the symptoms in order to assist my clients in discovering a more meaningful and fulfilling way to cope with life's inevitable dips and conflicts. It does little long lasting good to treat only the consequences of deeply ensconced processes that we have little knowledge of. While working with me, my clients and I go to where the root cause of their issues reside and gently and safely observe them and understand them with the ultimate goal of gaining control over them.
