Find a Therapist in Kleinburg, Ontario.

I view psychotherapy as a way to help gain understanding, clarity and a different perspective. When we adjust or shifting our perspectives, explore our inner resources, and identify our challenges, we start the journey to a more fulfilling life. I believe in collaboration and a nonjudgmental partnership. With the goal to ultimately help clients to define their own version of success, create new patterns of behavior and engage fully in their lives.

My approach to therapy produces powerful results and allows the individual to heal at a profound and deep level. By encouraging clients to be authentic, conscious and aware I provide fundamentals that support spiritual growth. Healing takes place when we address both our dark and our light sides. Building self-esteem and a healthy ego, establishing boundaries and getting our needs met are very important. I use 2 main modalities Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy. Psychotherapy is my passion and having said that I have always known people to feel exceptionally comfortable to share their life’s journey with me.

We can all agree that sometimes it simply feels good to talk to someone. All the better when we know with absolute confidence that the person we are talking to is not going to judge us. Psychotherapy is, in its purest form, talk therapy. At Uniquely You, therapy does not require an agenda. Instead, the process of therapy is constructed to suit you. It is compassionate, non-judgmental, and realistic; the goal is to help you get on the path of living YOUR best life, whatever that may look like.

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.
