Psychotherapy addresses some of the same challenges as counselling does, but aims its focus more deeply on the psychological roots of problems and unhealthy behavior patterns. Some of our belief- and behavior patterns develop in childhood, others evolve through subsequent life experiences. In our sessions, I will gently help you understand your emotions, thoughts and action and where they might originate. We will explore possible sources of your stress, and I will guide and support you to become aware, that you can heal your past and explore ways to effectively cope in the present. 905-842-3626

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

I take a positive based approach in my counselling. I believe that lasting change happens when you draw out the truths within yourself and your relationships. I do not treat people as problems, as people are people and problems are problems. I do not like lables; I believe people are a lot more than what they may be currently struggling with. I seek to understand the full context of a person, rather than just focusing on a specific issue. I am a Registered Psychotherapist.

Psychotherapy is commonly known as talk therapy. The main goal with psychotherapy is to help individuals with their mental health. Psychotherapists practice from a variety of evidence-based modalities. Together, we will determine your goals and decide which approach to take. Please contact me to schedule a free 15-minute consultation where we can explore your presenting concern, determine if we are a good fit for therapy and I can answer any questions that you may have.

My approach to psychotherapy is grounded in creating a safe, authentic connection where you feel seen, heard, and supported. I integrate relational, emotion-focused, attachment-informed, trauma-informed, and somatic approaches to meet you where you are—emotionally, mentally, and culturally. Our work will focus on deepening self-understanding and compassion, learning and unlearning, letting go and becoming inspired. Together, we’ll uncover patterns, nurture compassion, and work toward healing and meaningful change, both within yourself and in your 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.

There are several approaches to psychotherapy — including cognitive-behavioural, interpersonal and other kinds of talk therapy — that help individuals work through their problems. At Meristem, we utilize an eclectic approach to psychotherapy that incorporates a variety of therapeutic principles and theories in order to create the ideal treatment program to meet the specific needs of our clients. We encourage a collaborative approach that enhances the client/therapist relationship. We strive to model positive behaviours and an empathic atmosphere that builds trust and safety within the counselling relationship.

I provide a compassionate and supportive environment for clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. With a client-centered approach, I prioritize building a strong therapeutic alliance, tailoring treatment to individual needs. Through evidence-based modalities such as CBT, EFT, ACT, and Mindfulness-Based Approaches, I help clients gain self-awareness, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and foster personal growth. Clients can expect to experience increased self-acceptance, improved emotional well-being, and enhanced resilience, empowering them to overcome challenges, cultivate meaningful relationships, and live more fulfilling lives.

Mental health is just as important as physical health. If you’re feeling a bit down, or maybe you thought you heard something, you’d probably shrug it off. But, if it persists or gets worse, like you’re constantly sad, don’t want to leave the house, and constantly feeling tired or you’ve been seeing someone following and you feel that your brain is disorganized, then you need to see a mental health clinician like a psychotherapist. Even when you’re experiencing the subtle symptoms, it never hurts to have a check up. Reach out to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to start your healing journey.

People come to counselling not because they don't have answers to their problems, people usually know what they should do, but they can't seem to do them. My role as your pschotherapist is less about telling you what to do (which is actually the easier part), I am here to help you clear away some of the junks that stop you from seeing and "doing" the answers. After that, I will help you reach your goal step by step.

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.

Psychotherapy is an opportunity to better understand why you do what you do and how you can change it with help of a licensed mental health professional. Psychotherapy is an investment in yourself and your well-being. I use various psychotherapeutic modalities to create a way of healing that works for you. I welcome you to start your therapy journey together.

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.
