When you spend a lot of time worrying, overthinking or dealing with overwhelming thoughts, it can feel unmanageable and impact your life in a negative way. You might be avoiding situations that make you worry or feel anxious, have a hard time sleeping, feel not good enough or do things in a certain way to keep the anxiety manageable in the moment. Therapy can help you learn ways to manage and cope with stress, worry, low self-confidence, overwhelming thoughts and OCD.  

Whatever the reasons that brings you here, I believe that the ups and downs of life provide opportunities (and sometimes hidden blessings) to learn about ourselves and life in general. You will learn how to restore within yourself a sense of balance and well-being, and to cultivate a renewed awareness and sense of presence in your life. After a thorough assessment, we'll begin to work on the issues that are most important to you. You'll develop insight into how past experiences and thinking processes may be continuing to influence your well-being and to identify the issues that are most troublesome. You will also be guided through the process of clarifying your values, passions, strengths and resources so that they can be drawn upon to mobilize you in a positive direction. With over 24 years of experience, you can have peace of mind that I am a very caring, non-judgmental, compassionate and skilled therapist. I offer a complimentary 15-minute telephone consultation to see if it's a good 'fit' and a good vibe so feel free to reach out. Feel free to ask me about my Therapy Intensives as well!  

I know asking for help can be challenging and opening up to someone new can seem scary at first. I am here to help! My client-centred approach, safe space, and confidentiality are essential when working together. I work with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, intimacy, life transitions, and personal development. Life will have several peaks and valleys, and I'm here to help you develop new skills that will make challenging times more manageable. Let's connect with a free discovery call to see if we are a great fit, by booking my website.  

First Step Men's Therapy was created with one purpose: help men across Ontario lead healthier, happier, more connected lives. Many of our clients come to us feeling lost, broken, powerless, isolated, disconnected, and distracted. Many men try to get better on their own, only to stumble further. Our goal is to work with you to learn more about yourself and develop the tools, resources, and awareness needed to grow, heal, and live. Whether you are struggling with addiction, trauma, grief, anger, anxiety, depression, shame, depression, or any other mental health challenge, we are here to help.  

I am a certified sex addiction and pornography addiction therapist. My primary area of work is helping individuals struggling with the challenges and resulting complications from sexual and pornography addiction. In addition, I assist the betrayed partners to come to some level of understanding and healing from what they have recently discovered, and been traumatized by. My certification in EMDR trauma therapy is particularly helpful to both the addict and the partner in discovering and healing the current or past issues that may come to the forefront in the therapeutic process. Through consultation in an empathetic counselling relationship I am able to provide therapy for individuals, partners, and couples suffering the consequences of sex and pornography addiction, as well trauma that may or may not be related. I provide in-person or online therapy (through a secure and confidential system).  

Through small steps and strategies, you can get there. Thoughts create your reality...Develop a good imagination and believe in your success!  

My therapy practice is dedicated to exploring your emotions and how you experience the world, creating a warm and inviting space for you to deeply understand your relationships and self-perception. I gently encourage introspection on your emotions, beliefs, and thoughts, helping you expand your perspective on life. Together, we will work towards achieving inner harmony, balance, and self-regulation, fostering a secure sense of self and inner trust. I am here to support you befriending your innermost fears and insecurities, guiding you to find the courage and compassion needed to cope with distress and discomfort. If you are ready to develop a stronger, more balanced self and build inner trust, I invite you to contact me and embark on this transformative journey together.  

Tired of being pathologized and feeling isolated? You are not alone. Traumatic experiences are common yet unique to each person. While each person possesses unique resources and skills, trauma responses (fight, flight, freeze, fawn) can throw one off balance from their consistent, preferred way of living. I am a registered psychotherapist (Q), practicing under the supervision of Christine Contant (RP, CTIC). My counselling and psychotherapy background consists of two years of behavioral counselling for individuals who experience developmental differences and one year (2019-2020) of experience providing supervised evidence-based trauma-informed psychotherapy (DBT, narrative therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, cognitive processing, somatic experiencing) at the Centre for Treatment of Sexual Abuse and Childhood Trauma (CTSACT) from September 2019-to 2020. Currently, I practice online (private practice) and in-person while I complete my MC graduate thesis on parents' reflections of high-conflict co-parenting before, during and throughout the COVID-19 pandemic with Athabasca University.  

Post-pandemic life is certainly a new normal. I notice many people are having trouble adjusting to the changes, and cannot quite return to the life they used to know. Whatever your reason for seeking therapy, I am happy to help you connect to your self, improve your functioning, determine your next moves, and move past any fears or insecurities that are holding you back. I specialize in LGBTQ+ populations, trauma recovery, improving attachment issues, and overcoming depression and anxiety. My preferred modalities are EFT, CBT, ACT, IFS, and SE.  

My approach is grounded in authenticity, trust, and often humour. I believe you have the wisdom to navigate life’s challenges and I strive to help empower you to facilitate change in therapy. I work with individuals, couples, children and families offering a free consultation to ensure we are a good fit. I carry a systemic lens, exploring the way culture, community and family shape our experiences and aspirations. I am committed to strength-based and anti-oppressive practice in my work. I recognize the importance and responsibility I have as a therapist, to address the systemic inequalities impacting clients in their lives.  

I am a therapist with specialized training in EMDR and couples therapy. My expertise lies in addressing various mental health challenges, including anxiety, trauma, panic, phobias, depression, grief, pain, performance anxiety, PTSD, CPTSD, sleep disturbances, addictions, violence, and abuse. I offer individual counselling services for children, adolescents, and adults, as well as couples therapy. In my couples therapy practice, I have received training in the Gottman Method, which includes improving communication, conflict management, addressing trauma, and navigating challenges related to affairs.

Her education, training and experience first as a Psychologist and currently as a Clinical Counsellor has been an amazing journey. She looks forward to connecting and developing an empowering therapeutic relationship with all her clients.  

I believe therapy is most valuable when it is personalized to address individual needs, so I focus on using customized therapeutic approaches with each of my clients. I offer a compassionate, supportive, nurturing, and non-judgmental space for my clients. I use cognitive behavioral and solution-focused brief therapies to address client problems and help them achieve their personal goals.
