Find a Therapist in Burlington, Ontario.

Sometimes we don't feel connected. Not only to our partners and family but to life in general. We feel like we are searching for some elusive ideal which we can neither explain or label, leaving us feeling like we are wandering in circles. Using a Jungian and Adlerian approach and dream analysis, I have found that people have been able to break free from the role of the nomad. This approach can require a much longer commitment from clients who are seeking a deeper epiphany about themselves and their lives.

When you feel overwhelmed by your problems and unable to cope, you may benefit from psychotherapy. Psychotherapy I provide, helps with a range of different challenges: from depression, anxiety, phobias, bipolar and low self-esteem to addiction and family conflicts. In the process, you’ll learn how to cope with difficult situations in a more adaptive way, understand yourself better, your own goals and values, develop skills for improving relationships and overcome specific problems such as eating disorder, depression or phobias among others. I work from a variety of modalities: cognitive behavioural therapy, interpersonal therapy, mindfulness, narrative, solution focused, family therapy

Clarity is everything! Psychotherapy for me is the process in which we help an individual bring clarity to their life. Stress, dysfunctional relationships, childhood neglect or trauma, loss or rejection, failure and crisis can all send us reeling. We lose our focus. We get off track. We become disoriented and lose our centre. Sometimes Psychotherapy is a process in which we reclaim our selves. In other cases we re-create ourselves, and yet in other cases we over come ourselves. Once we see clearly we begin to place the stepping-stones of intentional behaviour as we write our next chapters . . . now with clarity.

I provide a safe & non-judgmental environment for clients to open up on all issues, even deeply buried ones (from early childhood to present), so I can get a sense of the whole picture, ask the right questions, and come up with an effective treatment plan. I’ve successfully worked with many individuals & couples who others had given up on, since they weren’t able to go deep enough. This has allowed me to especially help people who are struggling with emotional or sexual trauma, incest, abuse, porn or sex addiction, sexual dysfunction, intimacy issues & taboos & fears which trap them in shame. I’ve also helped couples heal from deep wounds such as infidelity and build stronger relationships.

If therapy were to be successful for you, what would be different in your life? How would you know that this process was a good use of your time and money? - How you answer those questions is very important, those answers set the (initial) destination as we set out on this journey together. Client directed therapy means that your goals are the compass that guides our work, and we will regularly check in to assess what is working and not working in helping you reach those goals. Every client is different, and our work will be built on proven modalities and techniques, while also being specific to you.

My approach includes using strength-based, client centred therapies in practice and recognizing that clients are resilient and have the ability to connect with themselves to find answers to any of life’s problems. Other modalities which are helpful include solution focused brief therapy and narrative therapy, whereby clients are able to recognize and build on their hopes. Clients will benefit from psychotherapy, as their negative thoughts will be challenged, resulting in decreased self-blame.

Psychotherapy is a specialized form of therapy focused on deep, long-term change by exploring the root causes of emotional and psychological issues. Unlike general therapy, which may address immediate concerns or offer practical advice, psychotherapy delves into the complexities of your past experiences and patterns. My approach aims to foster profound personal growth and lasting healing by understanding and transforming the underlying factors affecting your well-being. As a dedicated psychotherapist, I offer a transformative approach to explore and address the root causes of your challenges. Please schedule a free consultation with me to see if we are a good fit.

I am here to support you. My task is neither to “improve”, nor to “remake” you. I cannot replace you, I cannot act and live on behalf of you. However, I have been trained in the field of understanding how your mind is functioning and helping you to develop the skills to communicate. Together we can work on your issues and requests. We can explore your past and present to make connections. We will dig deeper to find roots of your beliefs and develop your inner resources so that you may flourish. When I see you feeling better, thinking clearly, acting efficiently, achieving more, I consider my task is accomplished.

Psychotherapy is talk-based therapy to help us explore any areas of concerns in which you may be experiencing difficulties. The therapeutic relationship between you and your therapist is one of exploration, support, and vulnerability to help you live a life aligned with your passions and goals. Taking the first step can feel daunting and I am here to help support you through this journey. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation with me to see if I am the proper fit for your journey.
