Registered Psychotherapist, BES, B Arch, CBT, RP, OSRP, CRPO
I offer a safe space to open up in your vulnerability with your fears, grief, heartaches or feeling stuck. Whether you have anxiety, depression or relationship issues, I can support you through healing, re-organization and resolution. I am a warm-hearted soul guide and body-oriented psychotherapist that integrates your body, mind and soul connections. I offer deep, core healing work that works with how your consciousness can shift from your mind to your heart, to your gut instincts and throughout your holistic soul self. I create a non-judgmental environment that is LGBTQ and all-races friendly. You can find out more about me on my website www.buildingsoul.ca
At Lumos Counselling, we believe that the counselling process is a collaborative approach where the patient determines where they are going and the therapist provides the directions. Our philosophy to counselling is to empower patients so that they are able to work through stressors with tools and strategies learned during sessions.
It would be an honour to support you through all of life's challenges with the attention and care you deserve. I provide non-judgmental listening while offering a safe space to share and reflect. Whether you are facing difficult life transitions, struggling with anxiety, or simply seeking greater clarity and fulfillment, I am here to support you in navigating the journey.
*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENT'S* I am so glad you are here and putting forth your needs first or maybe you are here because your friend or family member needs support or you are just tired of feeling this ‘Numb’ feeling and you want some answers as to “Why are you feeling this way? or asking yourself “Why don’t I feel happy or sad anymore?”, “Why am I like this?”, What is wrong with me? If I have made you question yourself right now then you are in the right place with the right person. As your therapist, I will help you explore all these feelings.
I am a registered Clinical Psychologist with a doctoral degree in psychology. I am licensed (#6854) by the College of Psychologists of Ontario. Additionally, I am a member of the Ontario Psychological Association and the American Psychological Association. I provide psychological services to the adult client population in-person as well as online through Owlpractice, a virtual platform for providing care virtually.
I follow an integrative treatment approach including Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Intervention includes evidence-based treatment plans and empirically proven techniques. The focus of the treatment is on empowering the client with an adaptive thinking style and more effective coping skills to deal with symptoms and the surrounding environment. The goal of the treatment is to the enhancement of well-being and improve experience of overall quality of life.
I value my clients with their individual strengths and struggles. I actively engage with clients to reflect on their successes and challenges and rebuild their belief in their strengths and expand them further. I value a multicultural perspective and respect for diverse cultural backgrounds. The initial session is generally an intake assessment dedicated to understanding the case history/life story and for the purpose of diagnosis of the problem. Subsequently, treatment goals are collaboratively determined, and a treatment plan is tailored considering specific life situations, struggles, stressors, and personal strengths of the client.
I am trauma and attachment therapist working with clients who have experienced childhood-developmental trauma, relational trauma, intimate partner abuse, bullying, or PTSD. Clients that arrive with multiple presentations or have experience traumatic events tend to struggle with on-going states of anxiety and depression, relationship issues, become labelled as bipolar and experience borderline personality disorder. My purpose is to help clients to connect with their bodies, mind and brain to achieve better understanding of them-selves and build clarity, self-regulation and resilience.
Do you feel like your anxiety stops you from living your life? Like self critical thoughts are always running through your mind and your brain won't "shut off"? Or maybe you've been through trauma that you feel like keeps affecting you in the present? I specialize in supporting teens and adults to help you have more confidence, feel more in charge of your own life and finally feel hopeful about your future again. My work is rooted in compassion and together we can equip you with the tools to cope with life's challenges, understand yourself better, and go from surviving to thriving in order to create the life that you deserve.
I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, adhd, self-esteem, body image issues, trauma and more. I have trainings in multiple therapeutic approaches to help you with the tools that you need for sustainable healing. I'd love to help you deepen your understanding of yourself, break free from what is holding you back, and create a more confident you.
I believe that there is no one-size-fits-all in therapy and use an individualized approach to suit all of my clients needs. With me by your side, we are not just tackling surface level issues, we are diving deep. You deserve a therapist who truly gets it and can help you create lasting change.
