Therapists in Mississauga, ON

Some people have been dealt a difficult hand in life which can make pushing forward seem impossible. Challenges like anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and relational issues can be hard to navigate alone. I believe each person has the ability and skill to be able to help themselves. It's my role to help support people in that process. My job is not to “fix”, but to guide and assist you with becoming your best self. I have worked in both clinical and community settings with individuals, families, children, and youth from various ages and backgrounds and have learned much about the strength of the people I have worked with.

**See our website for other therapists accepting new clients** I am mental health therapist as well as a multi-faith spiritual and religious care provider (also known as a chaplain). My strength is working with anyone's faith and spirituality to help them with their mental health and spiritual journey. I work with all faiths and religious. In my practice, I see each client as a complex and unique person with stories, worldviews, and challenges. My goal is to aid you in accessing your inner resources such as the experiences you cultivate from your stories and the beliefs that find root in your worldviews to cope with challenges.

If you are experiencing distress that has impacted your life in some capacity, I will support you in processing and working through your areas of concern.

Are you feeling depressed, anxious or overwhelmed? Do you think that life has not been fair and you suffer from emotional pain/guilt? Are you looking for answers/solutions for your mental or physical illness? For 20 years I have been working with clients helping them with their unique life story. My therapy opens up the understanding of physical/mental disorder and integrates what has been rejected in your life. One client understood the circumstances that manifested a tumor and decided to continue her life without it. She actually started to appreciate her life and stopped blaming her parents for her upbringing.

I provide professional counseling to help individuals over 16 years of age with their needs.Being a person of colour, a person of faith identities can make it difficult to address issues of anxiety and depression with someone who's never been and I am most passionate about supporting Black and minority communities.

Life is in full session and can be overwhelming at times! As we journey through it, it is not uncommon to experience anxiety, depression, stress and trauma along the way. This can unravel our lives in dramatic ways affecting not only us but all of our relationships and hold us back from achieving happy and fulfilling lives.

***ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS: IN-PERSON & PHONE/VIDEO*** We believe that there is good in every person, and hope in every situation. We have helped individuals, couples, and families heal, grow, and connect. As relational therapists, we appreciate the impact that our relationships have on our well-being. We do not see clients as having something wrong with their minds that necessarily needs to be fixed. Rather, we see our clients as unique individuals, each with their own stories and perspectives, embedded in important relationships and contexts that impact them. We see strengths and we see hope, even when it feels like there is none.

In order to work effectively on something, we must know its root and nature. I believe that half the battle is truly understanding why our struggles are occurring in the first place. Once we know the root of the concern and the thoughts, feelings, experiences, and ideas that reinforce its existence, we can then begin to dismantle its power—brick by brick. I believe in holding space for people to tell their stories and explore parts of themselves they may have never before felt safe to share with others. It is through this brave process of standing face-to-face with every part of who we are that we can decide who we would like to be.

I have over 15 years of experience working for the school community. I offer counselling services for children, youth, adults, elderly, as well as couples and family therapy for a wide range of issues including Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, parenting issues and family conflicts. I provide a non-judgmental safe environment where you can feel comfortable to discuss your personal issues and concerns including any life challenges that you like to discuss. Through my therapy, you will become aware of your experiences, learn techniques to make choices, set reasonable boundaries, and learn to let go of negative thoughts.

Your mind is racing, your palms become sweaty, and you ask yourself “am I normal?”; “are these thoughts normal?”; “what’s wrong with me?”. You become anxious, you can’t sleep, eat, or think. Have you experienced any of these symptoms? I am here to tell you that many of us have from time-to-time. If these thoughts are consuming your day-to-day life I am here to help. I am a passionate therapist, and I consistently work from a client-centred and anti-oppressive perspective. I work eclectically, which basically means that I draw from several therapy modalities in order to meet your unique needs.

Everyone experiences life’s challenges differently, and my goal is to make sense of it together. I will strive to ensure that you feel heard, understood and comfortable to express your needs and concerns. I am committed to using a dynamic and collaborative approach throughout the therapeutic process. I have experience supporting individuals, couples, and families experiencing emotional and relational distress, grief/loss, anxiety, and depression. I aspire to help you cultivate greater awareness of yourself as well as your strengths while maximizing the resources and tools that are accessible to you.
