Therapists near Kennedy East helping All Clientele with All Clinical Issues

Is your child or teen struggling? Do they become easily overwhelmed, worry a lot, or seem more sad than usual? If you’re noticing low self-esteem, poor confidence, trouble focusing, mood swings, or have concern for your or your young person’s mental health, we'd love to connect with you! We are a small group of Child, Youth, and Family counsellors who specialize in working with children, teens, and their families.

My views on the therapeutic relationship is a partnership with my clients to achieve their individual goals. I primarily work with children (ages 5+), youth and adults with varying mental health conditions, including; Anxiety, Depression, Self-Harm, Trauma, ADHD, ODD, OCD, and other complex mental health issues. My goal is to ensure my clients feel safe and supported throughout the therapeutic process, and comfortable with the direction of their own treatment. My modalities of therapy are person-centered and vary depending on client needs, and ensuring treatment is tailored to each client. Primarily, my approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused approaches. My focus is to help my clients feel heard and accepted, and to help them achieve their individual goals. Please reach out through email if you are interested in a consultation call to see if I might be the right therapist for you!

I am a Master’s student in the last stretch of my coursework before graduation. As someone with several cross-cultural experiences while living in an inter-cultural marriage, it’s easy to relate to people from various backgrounds. I can offer counselling in English and Portuguese. While I’m newer to psychotherapy, I’m no stranger to supporting people through their hurt and pain. As a pastor, I have a huge heart to see church members and church leaders find holistic health. I understand what it means to “go to battle” every day to become more dependent on God and his design for healthy living. I specialize in relational and mental health concerns for individuals, and it’s a privilege to venture with you as we overcome the impasses in your life. Whether it be relationship issues, pornography addictions, church hurt, insecurity, anxiety or depression, I am ready to go the extra mile to help you experience a life full of the fruit of the Spirit. What am I like as a therapist? When we have the opportunity to work together, you will find that I am caring and easy to talk with. As someone who has walked through some stretching and life-transforming situations, I can offer a gentle-hearted safe place and clarity to help get you through the storm. I also appreciate a good laugh at the right moment.
