Find a Therapist in Mississauga, Ontario.

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.

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.

Psychotherapy is a process whereby individuals are provided with the necessary space and support to discover and reflect on their circumstances. Working with a trained therapist will allow you unbiased support while you explore and process your thoughts and emotions. Through such reflective practices, individuals can begin to gain more insight into their inner worlds and through empathetic and compassionate witnessing one can start to gain more clarity, acceptance and understanding about their needs and how to go about implementing effective strategies into their lives.

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

I embrace uniqueness and everyone's experiences ARE unique, they're ours. I approach each client with uniqueness and authenticity. I like to apply psychodynamic counselling and empowerment strategies to aid in better understanding our experiences and feelings while striving to build our voices and assert ourselves in the present and the future.

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.

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.

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 with me is a collaborative process where clients are supported in exploring their thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a safe and nonjudgmental space.

Clients benefit from gaining greater self-awareness, learning practical coping strategies, and developing new perspectives that foster growth and resilience. Together, we work toward creating meaningful change, improving emotional well-being, and building a stronger sense of self.

I provide a compassionate and supportive environment for clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

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.

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.

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.
