Spirituality Therapists in Toronto, ON

Years ago, at a health consultation, I was asked a trauma related question that caused me to reflect on the connection of the mind and body. It completely confounded me yet, it stayed with me. As soon as I returned home I opened my laptop and began to research trauma and the body. And, what I found led to my realization of the significance of an embodied approach to healing. It also began my journey into the field of psychotherapy.

In uncertain times the need for us to take responsibility for our own lives is essential. To experience being fully alive, we can't simply accept a destiny that other people or our culture want for us. We have to write our own story and walk our own path. My goal is to deepen your self-awareness and cultivate an acceptance of things as they are, not as we wish them to be, to bring light into the dark shadows of your life and restore your sense of who you are. We will seek to find the depth of your hidden potential and quiet the voices of self-doubt so you can ride the waves of human experience with grace and purpose.

Are you struggling in your life and yearning for freedom from suffering? If you are, getting the support you need the most can make all the difference, especially if you’re a highly sensitive person, an empath, or dealing with a chronic illness. You may also be yearning to work with a therapist that can appreciate your deep spirituality, your unique spiritual gifts, or your profound connection to Nature. Or you may be an artist, dancer or musician and are moved to create. I am someone that loves working with people at the soul level. I too am devoted to helping create ‘the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible’.

Sometimes , the journey of life can be a rough one. You feel lost, defeated, alone, and full of fear. But you haven’t given up. There’s a part of you that tells you that somehow there’s still hope, that you just need a helping hand.

Jackie specializes in working with individuals, couples, and families dealing with challenges related to major life transitions, depression and anxiety, faith and spirituality, and cross-cultural/inter-generational experiences.

When life’s challenges feel overwhelming, sometimes the support of a professional who can deeply listen and offer astute guidance and insight can make all the difference. I believe in a holistic approach to counselling and educate clients on the importance of integrating their mind, body, and spirit in the healing process. My specialty is working with clients who are in their late teens, 20s, 30s and 40s as they navigate various emotional difficulties and transitions in their lives. Depending on what the client deems helpful, I incorporate tools such as Energy Healing, the Enneagram, Meditation, Affirmations, and Inner Child Work.

Why am I here? Yes, a big question. We are souls in evolution, here to evolve our consciousness through a complex process of initiation and alchemy. Every experience, in every moment is an opportunity to wake up from our conditioned and limited perspectives. The unavoidable trials and pain we encounter in life are offered generously, intelligently designed to awaken and elevate us into freedom. The most important question to ask ourselves in this lifetime, as many enlightened masters would agree, is 'who am I'? This endless inquiry into the mystery of our true nature is foundational to personal and therapeutic work.

Your religion, spirituality, or culture has become a source of distress, or even suffering—rather than of strength. You’re struggling with feeling pressured to make choices based on cultural/religious expectations and beliefs that don’t work for you, with conflicts in interfaith or multicultural relationships, or perhaps whether to leave or join a religious community. You’ve found yourself thinking, "I don't know who I am anymore, or what I'm doing with my life." Relentless uncertainty or confusion can leave you feeling too drained to cope with life, much less enjoy it. At this point, you just want to feel "not broken."

I work with adults who are feeling stressed: they may worry, panic or feel shy in social situations, may try to be perfect, may feel badly about themselves, or wish to express themselves more effectively, or to set clearer boundaries with others, or to be more assertive. I also work with people from the straight and LGBTQ communities who are experiencing challenges in their relationships, with sexuality, sexual orientation, alternative relationships, alternative sexualities, and gender. Many experience these challenges, but some may lose a sense of balance in their lives or the ability to enjoy life and relationships while trying to sort out their concerns.
