Find a Therapist in East Gwillimbury, Ontario.

There are many things which cause us distress and prevent us from achieving our preferred quality of life. These can include a variety of feelings, thoughts, beliefs, reactions, confusion, past or present situations, etc. You can more easily think about, and choose, your preferred ways of living, by getting clear about what's going on, how you're being affected, and your usual responses. I delight to help in this kind of process: it can be a way of making things which are invisible, visible; things which are unspoken, clear; even things which were un-thought of, possible.

Psychotherapy is a journey with a therapist working on the issues that you are concerned with. In this journey, you and your therapist work collaboratively, respectfully and purposefully on your issues. In the course of the therapy, you and your therapist explore, learn skills, gain insights and make changes. With over 12 years of clinical experiences, I humbly and wholeheartedly want to walk this journey with you. I value strongly the rapport between the client and the therapist. I believe in a holistic view of wellbeing and emphasize in cultivating the mind wellness. I offer integrative approaches to meet your needs. Please don't hesitate to reach out and start to make the change now.

Clients benefit from psychotherapy by gaining a powerful space to bring forward their desires, hopes, and dreams while addressing challenges and barriers that may hold them back from becoming their best selves. As a clinician, I serve as a guide, counselor, and supportive ally—working collaboratively with clients to set meaningful goals that encourage motivation and foster a healthy, fulfilling life.

I work in a collaborative way with my clients. I believe that people are people and problems are problems. In other words, you are not the problem--your problem is the problem. I choose to focus on strengths, values, and skills as opposed to deficits and norms. My clients tell me I'm respectful, empathetic, and non-judgemental. I offer support, curious questions, and practical tools to help you achieve 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.
