Self Esteem Therapists in Oakville, Ontario

As everyone is unique, I will meet you where you are in your therapeutic journey! I frequently work with clients who experience difficulties with life transitions, anxiety, depression, attachment issues, low self-esteem, or trauma related to situations, relationships or families. Sessions can be done in the comfort of your own home, virtually or at my cozy office until 8:30pm.

It takes strength and courage to navigate daily life, with pressures coming at you from what seems like all directions. It takes even greater courage to seek out help, to step back, and look at ourselves in order to deal with distressing thoughts, emotions, body sensations or behaviours, or to deal with the past and its impact on present life.

I specialize in supporting women in a compassionate, warm and client-centered way. If you notice being critical of yourself or struggle with relationships, life changes, or overwhelming emotions, you might ask yourself: "Who am I? Is this the life I want?" Let's work together to help you heal and grow, identify what you truly want and take gentle steps towards the life you envision.

Life events and experiences are ongoing, and sometimes we are in a position where things may not go as we planned. If you are looking for help in dealing with distressing, difficult or unavoidable frustrations, it is the best time for you to speak to someone to gain some insight into these challenges. I appreciate your courage and applaud you for taking this first step to reach out.

I work with motivated individuals who are looking to work towards better understanding, dealing with, and changing their lives. I work with clients who have issues with addictions, anxiety, depression, anger management, and many other behavioural issues. I work from a rational, systems-oriented approach; I help clients understand their psychology so that they can change it.

With an integrative practice (drawing from CBT, DBT, ACT, PC, Schema, and more) I tailor the experience to each client's individual needs, working together to choose interventions that feel right for them, always prioritizing trust and comfort with the directions we take. I believe that you can see the results you are looking for and I am thrilled to be able to be a part of that process so often.

Do you ever feel like you're held back by worry, being too hard on yourself, putting things off, trying to make everyone happy, or needing to have everything just perfect? Has this started to affect your self-image, your relationships, or your overall mood? Do you find yourself worrying "What if something goes wrong?" or "What if I'm not good enou...

We cannot lie to ourselves: realizing that something is bothering us is the first step towards understanding our present situation. Coming to therapy is a positive second step. It allows us to see where we come from, where we are now and where we would like to be. We should also keep in mind that once we know something, we cannot unknow it.

I specialize in empowering young adults in their late teens, 20s, and 30s to reclaim confidence, happiness, and fulfillment, despite the challenges of low self-esteem, anxiety, and relationship struggles.

Registered Social Worker at Psychotherapy For You

At times we may all need a little help or another perspective to bring what we need to our awareness. When we need guidance, we can connect to an inner compass that at times feels confusing, conflicting, or just plain out of reach. I feel we can tap into our deepest selves, gracefully face life's obstacles, and show kindness and concern to both ourselves and others. My goal is to recognize people…

I can work with you to help you uncover your innate curiosity, compassion and clarity, in order to feel a greater sense of peace, presence and purpose in your life. I support individuals who are experiencing emotional/relational challenges, perinatal mental health challenges, students, ADHD, anxiety, low self-esteem/identity, trauma and grief. You don't have to navigate this alone!

I work with kids, teens, adults and families struggling with a range of issues, and I individualize my approach for each client.
