Infidelity Therapists in Strathroy, ON

At certain times in our lives, we may feel like we are stuck. We struggle with maintaining our relationships at home or work, have difficulty meeting deadlines, or are unable to deal with the emotions of what is happening in the world. Counselling is a way to work through these issues. Here are a few other reasons why individuals and couples may seek counselling: reduced emotional and physical connection due to strained communication and increased conflict, infidelity, workplace conflict/bullying, recent separation or divorce, and an inability to find a suitable partner. These situations can cause immense pain.

Accepting new clients. Do you feel stuck and are unsure about what you want in life? Or perhaps you know what you want but are afraid to take the steps you need to take because you are struggling with your own inner self confidence and self worth. Do you place too much emphasis on what other people think about you and not enough emphasis on what you think about yourself? You may be struggling with symptoms of depression and anxiety as a result of the stressors you are experiencing in life and need some clarity about what you really want and how to get there.

Are you thinking of addressing childhood trauma or focusing on your mental health? Are you, or someone you care for, struggling with heightened anxiety or a diminished sense of life satisfaction? I extend an invitation to a warm, welcoming, and non-judgment space where we can collaboratively explore past and present concerns that may be impeding your progress towards achieving personal goals and leading the life you desire.

As a Registered Psychotherapist and Certified Canadian Counsellor, I have worked with individuals, couples, and families since 1993. My work employs cognitive behavioral and mindfulness therapy. I believe that we have an immense power to change our lives, and to overcome life's greatest challenges if we are self aware. Using an integrated model of therapeutic intervention which focuses on your strengths, we work together to increase your self awareness, help you identify options and choices so that you can work differently with the issue you face. Through self understanding and education, you become more resourceful in responding to life's challenges.

Life will bring challenges and difficult times causing confusion, fear, anxiety, depression…and numbness. We also experience transitions and losses, not only through the death of people we love, but loss of our health, relationships, jobs. Maybe you are a Health Care Provider with moral injury as a result of your challenging work? Chronic stressors can bring up feelings of fear and a lack of belief that we can cope. Some events and relationships may leave deeper, traumatic wounds. Sometimes it just feels like it is all ‘too much’. Whatever challenge brings you here, together we can work with and process these feelings.

Feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained and not sure of what to do? You are not alone because most people experience psychological issues from time to time in life and need help in resolving these challenges. Seeking professional help is pertinent in attaining and maintaining optimal mental health. I utilize both long-term and brief interventions approach to meet clients’ unique needs. I perform comprehensive psychosocial assessments and develop individualized treatment plans tailored to clients' needs. I work from a strength based, trauma informed framework, evidence-based practices and committed to an anti-oppressive approach.

Many people have found themselves in the exact place you now find yourself – wondering if they should seek the guidance of a professional counsellor for personal, marital or family problems. Here are some of their uncomfortable self-reflections: “Tensions always hover over my relationship with my partner.” “I want to be a better parent.” “I do not look forward to going to work anymore.” “My partner and I keep getting stuck when we try to talk about our problems.” “I want to enjoy being a parent, but often I do not.” “I want to feel happiness and gratitude for my life and the people in it, but I cannot get there.”

I have provided psychotherapy, counselling and coaching since 1996. I have worked with a diverse population with many types of issues and challenges. My passion is helping individuals, couples and families to thrive; and helping leaders and organizations to excel. I provide a safe and confidential place where problems can be shared, solutions identified, barriers overcome, progress achieved and success celebrated. I primarily use client-centered, solution-focused and cognitive behavioural approaches.

As solution-focused therapists, our goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating.

Every person experiences hardships, loss, and trauma throughout the course of their life. This may impact our ability to function in our day-to-day. Throughout my career and education, I have developed a passion for helping those experiencing grief and loss. Grief is a deeply personal and unique experience that occurs after we experience a loss. I will strive to help you understand and explore your feelings while processing the loss that you have experienced or are experiencing.

Relationships are at the core of feeling love and belonging. However, when our relationships are functioning poorly we can experience anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, or anger. In this space, we will explore how early life relationships shaped your attachment, communication, and conflict patterns to connect them to the impact they are having in your current life. From there, we can develop healthy new patterns. I also work with couples on their communication, boundaries, intimacy, meeting needs, and trust. Together you will learn to communicate safely and predictably and co-create your ideal intimate life.

Sometimes life hurts and we are uncertain how to move forward. Trauma, grief, life transitions, difficult relationships, and past experiences often leave us searching for healing and hope. We don’t want to do this work alone, and yet we don’t always know where to turn. In the therapeutic relationship you will be heard and seen. In my practice I use a holistic, person-centred approach where together we will build a respectful relationship that allows you to gain new skills, acquire knowledge that helps bring about change, and work toward your personal goals.

Are you disappointed with how you are showing up in your relationship? Are you struggling to manage your emotions and often find yourself blowing up, shutting down, or fixing during conflict? Have you reached a breaking point in your relationship and are in the process of transitioning to being on your own? If you relate to this and notice some of these patterns in your relationship or are trying to understand how it all went wrong I am here. I want to help you learn more about yourself so you can better relate to others and communicate your needs from a grounded place so that you can break the cycle you find yourself stuck in.

Are you feeling anxious and overwhelmed? Wondering how to cope? I have over 20 years of experience working in the health care sector, and I utilize evidence-based strategies to help my clients reduce distress and manage painful and difficult emotions. I believe that it is important to treat clients holistically, looking at the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual strengths and challenges that clients face. It is imperative to build a trusting relationship with my clients and to work collaboratively to help them reach their unique goals.

I help clients identify and work toward their specific goals to address a wide range of issues, including; anxiety, depression, addictions, life transitions, personal and work-related stress, relationship conflict and distress, separation, reconciliation, relationship building, and recovery from childhood and adult trauma. My approach is confidential, friendly and non-judgmental; facilitating happier, healthier, more engaged, relaxed and satisfying lives. I provide psychotherapy and counseling for people of all sexual orientations and cultural backgrounds, couples and families.
