When we strive to be independent and responsible, it can feel natural to dismiss and intellectualize our emotions. We become skilled in managing the feelings of others, while minimizing our own. We may understand what's causing us pain, but feel overwhelmed and stuck about taking action. I offer non-judgemental space for individuals and couples to explore these experiences with nuance and compassion. My areas of focus include ADHD, relationships, perfectionism, anxiety, grief, career concerns and racial identity. Together, we'll cultivate resilience and self-awareness, moving you towards where you want to be.

It is said that two heads are better than one but for many this is hard to accept. You may be very successful in certain parts of your life and this may make it easier for you to push other, troubling issues aside. This strategy never works indefinitely and ultimately your issues will begin to manifest in other areas of your life.Therapy can help. It will leave you better able to understand your challenges and, perhaps more importantly, to face them with new vigor.

When life’s challenges feel overwhelming, sometimes the support of a professional who can deeply listen and offer astute guidance and insight can make all the difference. I believe in a holistic approach to counselling and educate clients on the importance of integrating their mind, body, and spirit in the healing process. My specialty is working with clients who are in their late teens, 20s, 30s and 40s as they navigate various difficulties and transitions in their lives. Depending on what the client deems helpful, I incorporate tools such as Energy Healing, the Enneagram, Meditation, Affirmations, and Inner Child Work.

For most of us, things have to get pretty bad before we look for help. Emotional pressure can make life miserable. Inner conflicts can leave you stressed out and anxious. It can hurt your sleep, your work, and your relationships. The good news: it can get better. Becoming an emotional ninja isn't magic. It's work. Together, we can help you better understand your emotional challenges, and put that perspective into practice. Feel free to contact me for a 30-minute consultation to see if we might be the right fit.

With 15 years of experience as the head counsellor at The Michener Institute, I offer professional support for anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and family challenges. My use of both Gestalt Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) gives me a wide range of options for support for both individual and couples. Gestalt focuses on the 'here and now,' our body experiences and childhood patterns and helps us be present in our relationships. CBT has been rigorously tested in over 1000 studies, and is a therapy that supports depression, attention deficit disorder (ADD), panic and anxiety, phobias and stress.

I'm a graduate of the Ontario Psychotherapy and Counseling Program and a Registered Psychotherapist. My ambition is to offer a humanistic approach in a psychodynamic setting, with a focus on a client-centred, relational, and a conversational model, as well as providing a safe space where you, the client, and I can work together to achieve therapeutic goals. As part of a collaborative approach to therapy, I feel this process of working with clients can bring about an understanding of what they have been experiencing, describe particular moments that may have led them to this point, and support a new self-structure.

How to find hope? If you are feeling STUCK, engaging in therapy can help you get MOVING again. Usually, you are someone on the MOVE, adapting to challenges, always ready for the next stage, with confidence and a SMILE! But this time it’s different. You may feel trapped. Pressing ahead and making desired change is hard. You may be struggling with finding yourself, a lack of meaning in your life, difficulty managing relationships, or processing emotions and unresolved trauma.

Hi all, welcome to my profile! As a Black woman who grew up in a low income family I'm incredibly passionate about ensuring marginalized populations are provided with inclusive and accessible mental health support. What makes me feel fulfilled is dismantling the barriers individuals experience that prevent them from accessing services. As a result, I use a sliding scale to reduce financial barriers and offer virtual morning, evening, weekend sessions to make counselling easier to fit into your schedule. I feel honoured to support you through your most difficult emotions and I will walk through them with you to brighter days.

I work with individual adults 18+ at different stages in their lives, with different issues, needs and goals. My clients are often seeking help to feel more settled in themselves and in their day-to-day lives, as well as with the deeper work of personal exploration and self-reflection. It is often the question - What do I want, and why? - that is central to the work that people seek to do.

How do you find hope? You are truly strong and resilient, and your kindness shines through as you strive to be there for the people who matter most to you. However, this dedication to others can sometimes lead to neglecting your own needs. Always being the support for everyone else can take a toll on you, and it might seem like there's no one there to support you in return. The weight of the world might feel heavy on your shoulders, leaving you with a sense of being misunderstood, anxious, and overwhelmed.

How do you find hope? You're someone who values close relationships, sets clear goals, and possesses the determination to achieve them. But, there are moments when you may feel disconnected from the person you aspire to be. You've dedicated months, maybe even years, to bridging the gap and rediscovering your best self. You might have a goal in mind, yet you're uncertain about the path ahead. Perhaps you're wrestling with motivation and self-doubt, just trying to hang on by a thread.

How to find hope? How do you heal the ache you feel inside? If you are feeling overwhelmed, engaging in therapy can help you feel calm again. You are a HIGH achiever - on a great career path, with loved ones who support you. You plan things and approach life rationally. However, something is missing. You have a hard time controlling your thoughts and emotions. You feel responsible for others emotions and their perceptions of you. You may ask: What’s the point? What’s the meaning of all of this?
