At Mastery of Self Inc., I believe healing begins when you feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted without judgment. As a trauma therapist and Registered Social Worker, I bring not only clinical expertise but also authenticity, compassion, and a deep understanding of the courage it takes to confront life’s most difficult experiences. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each individual, integrating evidence-based therapies with a focus on helping you understand your story, regulate your nervous system, and build lasting resilience. My goal is not simply to help you cope, but to empower you to heal, rediscover your strengths, and create a life that reflects the person you were always meant to become.  

(Currently Accepting New Clients) Hello and welcome! I'd like to start by acknowledging that starting with a new therapist can be super awkward, vulnerable, and challenging. It's a big risk to step out and say, "I'm struggling" or "I want something different for myself." My hope is to offer a safe space for you to show up as you are and sit with you in the complexity of life. One metaphor I love to use when talking about the therapy process is that we often come to therapy with a knotted-up bundle of yarn. Maybe this ball of yarn is formed from one type of yarn; maybe it's a mishmash of many colours, sizes and textures. However complex and knotted the yarn, I am here to sit with you as you notice, untangle, and wind up the ball. What I mean by this is I am here to help you make sense of yourself, listen to your story, and offer my support along the way so you can move towards your goals. If what I've shared resonates with you, please feel free to reach out to book a 20 to 30-minute free consultation. During this time, we will talk a bit about what brings you in and a bit about my approach and decide if we are a good match for the therapy journey. My schedule and emails from this website are managed through Spacious Mind Counselling.  

I do more than just listen — I provide practical, tangible tools and psychoeducation to help you make sense of your struggles. Blending honesty, warmth, and a touch of humour, we’ll build awareness of unhelpful patterns in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and work to shift them in ways that promote growth.  

I believe in you: your strengths, your intricate beauty, and your transformative potential. What I bring to the table are a fresh perspective, warmth, humour, and empirically-supported tools. My talk-based, collaborative approach integrates techniques from a number of modalities (commonly: mindfulness, cognitive behaviour therapy, narrative therapy, positive psych theory, neuroscience, bibliotherapy, psychoeducation, etc.) in the interest of effectively serving your unique goals and needs. I look forward to walking with you.  

I operate from a client centred, trauma informed approach that is grounded in neurobiology. This means I honour each client as they show up in session and we unpack together how their traumatic experience may have formed who they are today. We spend time understanding how trauma impacts the brain and nervous system, not just how it shows up in behaviour. Through psychoeducation and experiential work, you'll learn how survival patterns form after traumatic experiences. Rather than only managing symptoms, we work at the root level - helping your brain and nervous system process and integrate what was overwhelming. Shifting what's happening on the inside facilitates lasting behavioural change and a more stables sense of self becomes possible.  

I offer individual, couple and family therapy from a systemic or relational perspective. I have been in clinical practice for over 30 years with extensive experience with adolescents and adults with emotional distress, substance use, and mental wellness concerns. I have extensive training and supervision with the added bonus of life experience. I am a calm, respectful, compassionate, and curious practitioner who believes in the importance of a strong working alliance with my clients. I am positive change focused and collaborative.  

At KDW we are passionate about empowering individuals to change the way they relate to themselves and those in their lives. Our philosophy focuses on the individual to understand how attachment trauma and insecurities influence the quality of their relationships. We are a trauma-informed practice that prioritizes establishing a sense of safety to allow the opportunity to explore how the nervous system and formative experiences influence how we react to situations in our lives and relationships. Sessions function to help you navigate difficult experiences, build resilience, and develop the skills you need to thrive. Whether you are facing a difficult transition, coping with a broken relationship, coming to terms with your childhood experience, dealing with a complicated family dynamic, wanting skills to manage an ADHD diagnosis, recovering from burnout, or simply looking for ways to improve your overall well-being, we are here to guide you. We believe everyone can overcome challenges and achieve their goals, and we are committed to helping you do just that.  

In my work, I believe you are the expert in your own life. I offer the space and support to help you explore deep insight into your strengths, your needs, and what matters most to you. Through my own lived experience, I understand what it can feel like to start over as a newcomer in a foreign place. I hope to support you as you are rebuilding a sense of identity, belonging, and stability, and hold awareness of the many expectations placed on women in our society, especially when navigating work, caregiving, and life transitions.  

Are you a man struggling in his relationship and seem to be repeating the same painful patterns over and over again? Hi, I'm Eric and I understand how difficult changing behaviours can be. My purpose and passion is to empower men to gain greater self awareness, self compassion and self love. Through psychodynamic psychotherapy, my hope is that men can learn to love and accept themselves and be able to develop healthier relationships in their lives. If you can relate to these struggles, please reach out for a free initial consultation to see if we would be a good fit.  

Life can feel isolating at times - whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or addiction, I want to help you reconnect with your sense of safety, self-trust, and empowerment. I work to provide a welcoming space that allows for you to slow down and make sense of your experiences, and feel validated and seen. We will work collaboratively to explore your thoughts and behaviours, and determine what change can look like at your own pace as I approach from a harm-reduction, trauma-based. Please contact for a free 15-minute consult to assess if we are the right fit for each other or to schedule an initial session; I have various times available both weekdays and weekends.  

Dealing with life's challenges can be incredibly overwhelming. During those times, it’s common to rely on coping strategies that can lead to negative outcomes such as low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, relationship problems, difficulty adapting to life's changes, anger issues, or substance abuse. When you work with me, you'll find a compassionate listener who genuinely strives to understand your unique experiences and who you are. I invite you to book a free 15-minute phone consultation to explore how I can support you.  

Daniel endured prolonged trauma in early childhood; yet, through a deep and courageous healing process, he emerged with a profound understanding of suffering and adversity in others. With the support of compassionate individuals, he stabilized his life and gained meaningful insight into the roots of his struggles. Over time, he learned to navigate and resolve these challenges—mentally, emotionally, and behaviorally—while learning how to prevent further harm and ultimately, how to flourish. Drawing from both his personal journey and extensive formal education, Daniel now provides effective counseling and therapy grounded in evidence-based practices. His work is deeply informed by lived experience and professional expertise, allowing him to meet clients with empathy, clarity, and practical support. Daniel is known for his humility and gentle presence, yet he brings a clear and steady firmness when needed. As a skilled and committed therapist, he is deeply invested in his clients’ well-being—helping them feel safe, understand their experiences, and build the inner freedom and resilience needed to create a meaningful and fulfilling life.  

I believe that healing begins in a safe, supportive, and collaborative relationship. Working with teens, adults, and older adults, I take a client-centred approach, drawing on CBT, DBT skills, attachment-based and trauma-informed methods to help clients move through anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and the hard transitions that leave people feeling overwhelmed or unmoored. With over a decade in the helping professions, I bring both clinical skill and genuine care to every session — and for clients who want it, faith has a place in the work too. I see clients at GreenValley Counselling's Kitchener, Brantford, and Cambridge offices.  

I am a client-centered therapist, providing counselling and psychotherapy in Toronto and remotely. I believe that in a nurturing and emotionally safe environment, we all have the capacity for healing, growth, and finding our own answers.

Many of the adults I work with feel stuck in patterns shaped by complex trauma and early relationships. You may notice this showing up as persistent anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or relationship cycles that feel difficult to break—even when you intellectually understand them. Together, we gently explore the roots of these patterns and how they developed. As these survival strategies begin to make sense, you can move toward a greater sense of clarity, internal stability, and a more compassionate way of relating to yourself and others.  

Do you feel overwhelmed by your emotions, trapped in cycles of unhealthy behaviours, or the impacts of past trauma? Do your emotions lead you to engage in patterns you wish you could break? I can understand these feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, and what seems to be uncontrollable, and I'm here to make them easier. If you are looking for clarity on why you feel this way and want to regain a sense of control or stability, now might be the time to reach out to a therapist who can help. Understanding your emotional and behavioural patterns is the first step toward change, and I am here to guide you through this process. With over 7 years specializing in anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma, I have developed an understanding of how these issues can intertwine and complicate one's life. Together, we will explore the roots of your struggles, providing you with the knowledge and strategies to not only cope but thrive. Whether it's managing emotions, overcoming addictive behaviours, or healing from emotional pain, my goal is to empower you with the awareness and resources to move forward confidently. Reach out to discuss how I can support you.  

I appreciate that change is hard. Therapy––learning alternate coping skills, trying new behaviours, and facing your fears–can often feel uncomfortable. To make the hard work of therapy worthwhile, I will collaborate with you to uncover what makes your unique life meaningful. We will examine barriers to your meaningful life and develop a plan to overcome them.
