Find a Therapist in Clearview, Ontario.

I work with professionals, therapists, executives, and healthcare specialists who have successful careers on paper but still feel unfulfilled in their personal and professional lives and their relationships. You may feel stressed, exhausted, or like you are just going through the motions of your life. Moreover, the pandemic may have played a role in driving you to re-evaluate your priorities. Anxiety, depression, or feelings of overwhelm may be at play and you may feel like you want a safe space to assess how you got to where you are today. I will work with you to explore your current relationships, family-of-origin issues, and support you in working through grief, loss, anxiety, or trauma.

Beginning with a warm and trusting relationship, an environment is built in which we can set realistic, measurable goals in order to work toward your health. I use an integrated approach to therapy which means that which includes family systems, cognitive-behavioural and psychodynamic therapy as well as spirituality. I attempt to be flexible enough to accommodate your needs while creating enough structure to help you consistently move toward your goals. I am a relational person and am not afraid to be myself in therapy.

Our approach to psychotherapy is rooted in the principles of EMPATHY & EVIDENCE. We not only know from experience what you're going through, we understand the science behind the mental health victories which will ultimately elevate your life. This blend of lived experience and evidence-based techniques truly defines our approach to psychotherapy at Whiteboard. In terms of therapeutic approaches, we employ elements of the following approaches: Narrative Therapy; Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy; Motivational Interviewing; and many other evidence-based approaches.

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 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.

Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner. Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns. Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.

I am a registered psychotherapist in Ontario. I utilize a varity of treatment approches when meeting with clients but draw primarily on my training in Adlerian therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a form of therapy that looks at the thoughts that individuals are having that lead to unwanted feelings and behaviours. Whe first identify the thoughts in therapy then work together to change the thoughts when we successfuly change the thoughts the unwanted feelings also change.

Psychotherapy is often a journey into the self, an exploration into the caverns of our mind, our emotions, and our experiences. We will engage jointly in a journey that does not travel in a pre-determined direction. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, it's about honoring your unique narrative and creating a safe space to unpack your fears, hopes, dreams, and struggles. You'll gain self-awareness and practical strategies to create resilience and self-compassion.

In Individual therapy you will work one-on-one with a trained therapist in a safe, caring, and confidential environment so you can explore your feelings and beliefs and why you behave the way you do. We will work through challenging or influential memories, identify aspects of your life that they would like to change, or maybe just better understand yourself, set personal goals, and work toward your desired change.

My psychotherapy approach is one that can empower you to ultimately tell a new story about your presenting challenges. Asking the right questions (socratic questions) can capture the excitement of true discovery and as a result, the client is more active and engaged in their therapeutic journey. Most importantly, my person-centred psychotherapy style teaches clients a process of effectively evaluating their feelings, thoughts, behaviours, moods, life circumstances and physiological reactions to make choices that are more adaptive.

I offer a compassionate and client-centered approach, fostering a safe space for individuals to explore their thoughts and emotions. Through active listening and understanding, I work collaboratively with clients to identify goals and challenges. Evidence-based techniques and therapeutic interventions empower clients to gain valuable insights, develop coping strategies, and create positive changes. Benefits include increased self-awareness, improved emotional regulation, enhanced communication skills, and the ability to overcome obstacles for a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

I offer a humanistic, person-centred approach to psychotherapy that focuses on how we can find meaning and purpose as a way to chart a path forward, toward a more-fully-realized version of yourself. Together we will embark on an exploration of the self, of the underlying beliefs, and we will identify and overcome any obstacles preventing the growth you seek. I believe we all have the capacity to improve ourselves.

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.
