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

Psychotherapy is counselling process that delves into deeper and often hidden (subconscious) issues that influence our perceptions and beliefs. In turn this influences our behaviours. Often our patterns originate in our family of origin where we internalize beliefs about self and others.

I will guide you through this process to gain new insights and understanding and learn more effective coping with your current distress.

Clients benefit from attending psychotherapy with me because I bring a trauma-informed, compassionate presence that fosters safety and trust. When life feels overwhelming, confusing, or heavy, I offer a genuine connection where clients feel cared for, seen, and supported.
