Best Psychoanalyst Hamilton Near Me

4worldlovers: Perhaps you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, easily triggered, conflicted inside, reeling from gaslighting, dealing with infidelity or struggling in your relationships. Perhaps you are ready to work with a painful childhood or a challenging experience. Maybe there are two of you ready to work on your relationship. Or maybe you are seeking support with a big change in your life. Whatever your reason is for coming, I'm glad you are here.

If you are feeling ready to look inward I can offer a down-to-earth, caring and validating space where together we can begin to address the things that are hurting you.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist. I have a masters degree in counselling psychology with specialized training in complex trauma and relationships. Many of the issues I work with I understand through study and personal experience as a human, partner and parent in this world. I also bring 16 years of education expertise with a history of supporting adults and teens with learning and change. However I now work exclusively with adults, ages 19+

I provide support to individuals, couples or family groups of two with trauma, coping, perfectionism, infidelity, gaslighting, self-esteem, PTSD, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, flashbacks, numbing out or shutting down, self-harm, difficult childhood experiences, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, separation/divorce, family problems or pressures, consensual non-monogamy, polyamory, life transitions, big decisions, grief and loss.

I also work with entrepreneurs, spouses/partners of entrepreneurs and creative types who struggle in their relationships (or in being relatable).

You may be nervous to begin, bubbling over with readiness to get into the work, or you may fall somewhere in between. How we work together depends on who you are and what is going on for you. I will meet you where you are at with compassion and without judgment.

4worldlovers:
I work with a diverse client population over the age of eighteen using Relational Somatic Psychotherapy & Sex Therapy. My gentle but direct approach creates an empathic, curious and non-judgmental space where we can explore deeply the feelings, memories, thoughts, sensations & experiences you have. I believe therapy is a powerful tool to make sense of and integrate past & current experiences. That being witnessed, supported & understood facilitates lasting healing, change & growth.

My specialties are listed below but the descriptions following are not exhaustive to the work that falls under each one. Through my practice, I have witnessed how complex we are & what someone comes to therapy for is linked to the whole person & their life experiences. I therefore also work concurrently with other experiences. Please reach out if you have any questions!
