I specialize in helping people who experience depression, anxiety, low self-confidence, and painful feelings in current or past significant relationships. My work involves assisting people to make sense of their emotional reactions and supporting them to use this information to make wise decisions for their life. At other times, I help people alleviate their painful emotions by using techniques that change unhelpful emotion states to more invigorating emotion states. I believe in practicing as a culturally competent therapist, striving to be knowledgeable, open and respectful of the cultural beliefs and practices of all people.

I specialize in working with men - men who are going through a life transition (job loss, new job, marriage, divorce, relationship concerns, new business venture, journey of self discovery, and so on), men who sometimes struggle to speak their truth, men who want to better reconcile work with family or work with relationship. In short, I help men live from a place of greater wholeness and connectedness to Self.

It takes courage to tell your story, and I aim to foster an environment where you can feel safe to do so. Developing a strong therapeutic relationship is essential, so you can expect warmth, genuineness, and humour as I work to help you navigate life's challenges. As I believe that people are experts of their own lives, you can expect each session to meet you where you are at, to discover your unique strengths, acquire coping skills, and get in touch with your values in order to live a rich and meaningful life.

I have experience working with children (ages 10+), teens, and adults facing challenges related to grief & loss, gender & sexual identity, chronic illnesses, disordered eating (including ARFID), school, phobias, anxiety, ADHD, Autism, and trauma. I have a special interest in working with those who have experienced (or who will experience) the death of someone they love, and I also particularly enjoy working with queer, trans+, and gender-creative young people.

Are you feeling stuck? Overwhelmed? Not sure what to do next? Let's work on it together. I specialize in helping clients with their relationships, whether that is with their partner, family member, or their own view and treatment of themselves. The relationships in our lives are not the only things that affect us, but they do tend to be the things that can cause the most damage or help the most in healing. This is what I can help with.

I can help you unpack and process through experiences of the past in a kind, compassionate way. Emotions can be loud and overwhelming, but what they are asking for is love and compassion.

I work with clients to manage and treat anxiety, anger, and depression. Many of my clients are women, but I am open to anyone wanting to improve their mental health. I practice from a trauma informed client centred, empowering perspective.

My practice is a safe space and everyone is welcome. I proudly serve all communities including LGBTQ2S +, BIPOC, and military/ first responders.

Hi, my name is Suzan :) - I work with couples and Individuals to support them awaken to what's beyond the psychological structures, personal stories, and past traumas. My educational background, and 24 years of professional experience, draws from various therapeutic traditions such as the cognitive,(CBT), systemic, (IFS), psychodynamic and existential, but it is the deeper and transpersonal perspective and approach that has my heart; It is about growing a loving awareness of yourself, and what's beyond the self; to tap into a greater sense of our connectedness with everything, to be at home inside, and to build our life in that.

Finding the right psychologist, someone you can create a meaningful working relationship with, is essential to therapy. I hope to make you feel welcome and supported while exploring challenging areas in your life to find real solutions. Everyone has the potential to live a happy, healthy life. Support from a psychologist can be the missing step toward improving mental health and meeting personal goals. I approach therapy with optimism, understanding that while difficulties and setbacks are inevitable, with the right support, everyone can develop the skills needed to navigate challenges and achieve a more fulfilling life.

You feel overwhelmed or numb and it hurts. The cycle of distressing feelings and fight-flight-freeze reactions keep you stuck. You hold it all inside, but no matter how hard you try, the emotions spill over and you snap at loved ones or shut down. Your mind tells you, "you are not good enough". You avoid taking action and relationships feel like a struggle because it’s hard to trust and let people in but you long to create connections with the ones you love. You can gain this connection! You don’t have to live in the past or in the future, you can learn to live in the present fully through awareness and active coping skills.

Michele specializes in clients who have experienced a life change that has left them feeling lost or unhappy. Traumas and survival patterns that we have buried deep in our subconscious can surface when challenged with life changes causing us to struggle with our new normal. This inner turmoil can throw our natural rhythm of living off disturbing our current adaptive patterns resulting in conditions such as anxiety and depression, questioning of our values and choices, it may challenge our self-esteem, lessen our enjoyment of relationships as well as trigger somatic disorders such as IBS, inflammation and chronic pain.
