Find a Therapist in Rockland, Ontario.

For over 25 years I have been working with individuals and couples to help them with their particular issues and problems so that they may achieve emotional health as well as relationship and career goals. Each client has a unique situation and set of issues, be it anxiety, stress, depression, substance abuse, grief, personal growth, relationship issues, aging, illness, etc ; each problem has a unique set of tools and strategies to select for its solution. Together we will meet and identify the problem(s); I will propose a treatment plan and together we will discuss the plan as well as determine whether the match between therapist and client is a solid one in order to move forward.

The foundation of therapy is a trusting and supportive relationship where people can feel safe to explore themselves and the world around them. Each person comes to therapy with a unique story and as a therapist, I believe in providing a treatment experience that is as unique as the individual themselves. I provide therapy using a strengths-based and collaborative lens and foster healing through connection and empowerment. Book a free consultation to see if we are a good fit.

As a Registered Psychotherapist part of what I offer is psychotherapy which is a further in-depth exploration of issues that are bothering you. Together, we will explore the origins and roots of these issues to better understand how your past has impacted you and how it is perhaps continuing to impact you today. From there, we will collaboratively work on a plan to determine how to use that information in order to allow you to work through your current challenges.

You're complex. You have many parts and they don't always get along. Everything that you are takes time, space, and skill to explore and grow. Psychotherapy is about you and your growth. Together we can tease apart what makes you you. From there, we can start to draw links from who you were, what happened to you, to who you are and want to be. Let's dive in there and figure these things out to build the better you.

In all of the work that I do with clients, there are some primary goals: Promote understanding and eliminate ambiguity. It is only through understanding that we can create comprehensive and meaningful change. I also focus quite heavily on exploring tools and treatment methods with my clients so that they can find their desired change. I incorporate elements of cognitive and behavioural interventions along with a myriad of psychological principles into my psychotherapeutic work.

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.

My approach to psychotherapy is to use evidence-based techniques built upon a humanistic foundation and is tailored to each individual and may draw upon a variety of theoretical orientations. While the environment will be safe, it will also be a challenge as it will provide the platform from which you can explore yourself, your challenges and resources to foster personal growth. This is done through insight and awareness into your unique personal experience. Together, we will navigate your inner landscape to try and understand what is working and not working for you and how your values align with your actions and relationships.

With over 30 years of experience—and a life shaped by nonlinear exploration, motherhood, music, and complexity—I humbly believe that I offer my clients psychotherapy that’s both skilled and deeply human. I do my best to meet you where you are, not where someone or society says you “should” be. I profoundly believe these words of wisdom from Jon Kabat-Zinn: "As long as you are breathing, there is more right with you than wrong with you, no matter what is wrong." My clients would say that therapy with me is a blend of evidence-based tools with compassion and curiosity, a blend that helps you shift patterns, understand yourself more fully, and reconnect with what gives life meaning - for YOU.

I define psychotherapy as a valuable relationship where one can experience safety, support and quality, professional care. I offer an eclectic style of counselling utilizing a variety of models and techniques tailored to the specific needs and personality of the individual. My philosophy for counselling and personal moral framework are based upon the Word of God. I pray and depend upon the Holy Spirit for His wisdom and leadership throughout the therapy process.
