Therapists near St Johns helping Lgbtq with Depression

I am passionate about helping individuals and organizations change and thrive. I am a non-judgmental, compassionate therapist who provides assistance with a variety of issues, including anxiety and stress management, grief, depression, and interpersonal violence and relationships. I aim to work collaboratively, respectfully offering support, encouragement, insights, constructive feedback and practical tools to empower you to take action in order to cultivate a life that is congruent with your core values.  I also enjoy providing External Supervision to front line community workers and leaders as well as clinical social workers with a focus of keeping us all healthy, ethical and in the work.

Supporting people to thrive in their intimate lives is one of my passions. I offer counselling services to people struggling with concerns related to sexuality and relationships, and those seeking to overcome the impact of past traumatic experiences. I welcome individuals and couples, as well as folks in unconventional and/or non-traditional relationships. My style is client-centred (meaning that therapy is primarily designed based on your identified goals), and emphasizes principles of sexual health that include consensual, non-exploitative, safe, honest, and pleasurable experiences that are aligned with your values. My approach is integrative, intuitive, and informed. With compassionate curiosity, I strive to help uncover and transform the obstacles that get in the way of growth, healing, and connection. It takes a lot of courage to reach out for support. This is one of the things I admire most about my clients. I provide a respectful and affirming space with regard to gender, sexual orientation, erotic, romantic, relational, and spiritual diversity. Whatever brings you to therapy, I aspire to provide you a space to explore your heart and mind, heal from painful past experiences, and move beyond perceived limitations toward a greater sense of wholeness and possibility.

I know reaching out for help can be scary, and I am here to alleviate that potential fear. As a therapist, my main priority is to provide you with a safe space that is welcoming while we work collaboratively on the issues you are experiencing. Therapy is different for each person and my therapeutic approach will provide a unique experience tailored to you and for you. In sessions we will explore your thought patterns, emotions and maladaptive behaviours and learn tools and techniques that will help you live a more meaningful, stable life. Through our work together we will discover your strengths and learn how to implement them to solve problems in your everyday life. I have five years of experience working with those in the local sexual assault community. I am currently accepting new clients. Please call or email me to book your appointment!
