ABOUT ​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Congratulations on starting your journey toward self-improvement.
​
My name is Jaimee, I'm a psychotherapist registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers. I have worked in mental health for 15 years.
My main areas of focus are supporting individuals 16+ dealing with Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, ADHD, and relationship issues.
I have my own lived experiences of mental health and ADHD, which have inspired me to support others on their journey.
I made the leap to independent private practice 7 years ago. Before that, I worked in trauma, family and child services, criminal justice, and inpatient intensive treatment services.
Some other areas of focus are self-esteem, Obsessive-compulsive disorder, Health Anxiety, Social Anxiety, life transitions, self-defeating behaviours and perfectionism.

MY APPROACH
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​​​​​ I take a nonjudgmental and personable approach, creating a comfortable and safe environment where we collaborate to identify areas for improvement and develop practical coping skills.​
My sessions are structured, supportive and reciprocal.
I bring my clinical expertise, but our sessions won’t feel clinical. I prepare an agenda based on your goals, but you decide the session's focus. Whether it's practical strategies, thought-provoking reflections, or emotional support, your needs are at the heart of our sessions.​​​​​​​​​​
AREAS OF EXPERTISE
Trauma
Heal from childhood trauma or adult traumatic events by understanding your emotions, changing negative patterns, and stabilizing your nervous system.
Relationship Issues
Enhance your relationships with partners, friends, family, and colleagues. Learn to express emotions, resolve conflicts, and set boundaries for healthy connections.
THERAPY APPROACHES
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
DBT is highly effective in assisting individuals in managing overwhelming emotions. Research indicates that DBT enhances a person's capacity to cope with distress without losing control or engaging in destructive behaviour.
​​
Exposure Therapy (ERP)
ERP is designed to help you build up your resilience to stressful triggers and to break the cycle of avoidance. It offers a proven way to face difficult situations with confidence and take back control of your life.​
​
​​
​
​​​​​​​​
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Learn to identify, question, and change thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs related to emotional and behavioral reactions. Understand how behavior and beliefs are connected, such as how behaviors might reinforce negative beliefs and keep us stuck in negative patterns.​
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
A type of cognitive-behavioural therapy used to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other trauma. This therapy focuses on repairing the damage caused by a traumatic event to an individual’s beliefs about themselves and the world.​​​
​​​​
Somatic Experiencing
​​​​
Somatic experiencing therapy can help people by focusing on how stress and trauma affect the body. By increasing bodily awareness, developing ways to release trauma, and finding ways to relax the body, people can find relief.
​​​
​
​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Attachment Therapy
Early attachment experiences with our primary caregivers shape the adults we become. Attachment-based psychotherapy addresses the effects of negative early attachment experiences and strengthens the capacity for secure relationships and adaptive actions in the world.
