Find a Therapist in Newmarket, Ontario.

I provide a personal and non-judgmental approach to finding solutions. Given my training in various therapeutic modalities (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Hypnotherapy, Motivational Therapy, Solution-Focused, Existential and Humanistic, Gestalt and Family Therapy), I am able to use the "best fit" approach to ensure that you achieve your desired outcome, no matter what problem area (personal, relational, marriage, sex, etc).

As a therapist, I've witnessed the transformative power of psychotherapy firsthand. Beyond offering a safe and confidential space, therapy provides individuals with invaluable tools for self-discovery and personal growth. Through introspection and dialogue, clients gain insight into their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, empowering them to navigate life's challenges with greater clarity and resilience. Psychotherapy fosters a deeper understanding of oneself and others, leading to healthier relationships and improved communication skills. The journey of psychotherapy is empowerment, self-compassion, and lasting change, guiding clients toward a more fulfilling and authentic life.

Psychotherapy provides us with an opportunity to use an integrative approach to gain insight into your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and interactions. I work collaboratively with my clients to reach their therapeutic goals within an empathetic and supportive dynamic. Whether your goals are for you as an individual or as part of a couple, psychotherapy provides the opportunity for personal growth and empowerment to experience the life you desire.

Psychotherapy to me is based on building a relationship with you while learning about what is happening for you and working together to determine what you want to change. It is focused on improving your well-being. My commitment to you is to offer unconditional positive regard, empathy and non judgement while providing a safe place to explore your perspective.

A psychotherapy process helps you find emotional support and new insight for your issues, for those bumps in the road that often crop up. Having an empathic, warm, respectful person who points out your blind spots and who listens to you can help you deal –and make sense—of the pressures and challenges you face. I use a blend of Client Centered Counselling, Gestalt Therapy and Family Constellations with cutting edge Energy Psychology Methods –especially EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques)—tools to achieve freedom from anxiety, trauma, stress, breakup, grief, abandonment, anger, depression, diagnosis shock and feel calmer, breathe more easily and gain rapid symptom relief.

Do you have a junk drawer in your home? I like to think of therapy like emptying out and organizing your junk drawer. Trauma and stress disorganizes our brain. Memories and experiences are scrambled and coping skills are hidden. Therapy lets us empty out those drawers, put them in order, throw out the things we no longer need, and find the things we’ve been searching for.

I am a transformative and depth psychotherapist. This means that I look beyond the symptoms in order to assist my clients in discovering a more meaningful and fulfilling way to cope with life's inevitable dips and conflicts. It does little long lasting good to treat only the consequences of deeply ensconced processes that we have little knowledge of. While working with me, my clients and I go to where the root cause of their issues reside and gently and safely observe them and understand them with the ultimate goal of gaining control over them.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (#10899), and a Non-Certified Professional Member of the Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals. I use an integrative approach to customize therapy to you: including self-compassion, mindfulness, attachment, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution Focused Therapy (SFT).

Life is a journey and we are presented with various challenges along the way. Sometimes we find a path forward and sometimes we get stuck and need guidance and support. Psychotherapy can be an opportunity for you to connect with a trained professional to explore the challenges you are experiencing and to discover new tools and perspectives. As a psychotherapist, I support you on your journey by creating a relationship with you that’s built on safety, openness, and trust. I also help you to discover the resilience that you hold and I support you in strengthening or re-defining the relationships within your life.
