The pain of grief & loss can feel all-consuming, leaving you adrift & unable to move forward. You might find yourself struggling to get through each day, feeling isolated from those around you, & weighed down by a heaviness that just won't lift. Nobody else can really understand how this feels. If you talk about these feelings to others, you feel like you’re going to leave them depressed & burdened by you. But you also really feel a need to talk about what you’re going through. It's exhausting trying to navigate this alone, & you might be questioning why you can't simply get past it. You know you need help, & you need it now.

Are you ready for more pleasure in your life? Do you wish you were more into sex, or wonder whether amazing sex and relationships are possible for you? Do you want to feel empowered, whole and at home in your body? In my somatic coaching practice, we can discover what turns you on, what hits the brakes, and what else (shame, fear, fantasies, upbringing) shapes your romantic and sexual life. We can identify your boundaries and how to deeply connect to yourself, your partners and the moment. I work with women and gender diverse people. Let me celebrate who you are and be there to guide you towards whatever intimate life you want.

You love your partner, but find yourself wondering “what happened to us?”. You just keep waiting for things to get better on their own, but they don’t. You barely recognize yourself or your partner anymore. Maybe you find yourself fantasizing about leaving the relationship all together. Things in the bedroom are even worse. Maybe you and your partner are trying to find a way back from infidelity. You’re lonely. You’re embarrassed. Maybe you’re staying together for the kids. You or your partner are worried about going to couple’s therapy because of fear that the therapist is going to pick a side…

I am not accepting new clients until further notice. My practice is small and dedicated. I work Wednesday evening, Thursdays and Fridays. Sessions are back in person for vaccinated folk and online or audio for others. I am a Master's Level Registered Psychotherapist (RP) working in private practice with 24 years of experience. Fees covered by third party insurance/medical benefits who cover registered psychotherapy. My approach is person-centered, mindful, narrative, and accepting.

I have offered services to couples, individuals and family groups for over 20+ years. I believe that couple therapy can help to improve the quality of a relationship by creating new ways of communication and connection which enhances emotional and physical intimacy between partners. Through individual counselling, I believe that each of us can overcome difficulties and struggles to achieve emotional balance and realize the inner strengths we have.

2SLGBTQ+ Community & Relationship Psychotherapist. You experience anxiety, fear, or uncertainty while navigating your sexuality, gender, relationships, and/or identity in a heteronormative society. You deal with feelings of rejection and a lack of acceptance by your family, peers, or community. Your concerns may be affecting your ability to form or maintain relationships with others. Ultimately, your individuality leaves you feeling unheard, judged, mistreated, and underrepresented. If you are seeking a safe and affirming space to address your concerns, gain a positive perspective, and be heard, I'm here for you.

It can sometimes be overwhelming dealing with the circumstances of life. Sometimes depression, anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship troubles, insomnia, caregiver and work stress among other things can pile up so high that it’s hard to see ahead to better days. But you don’t have to do this alone. Those who have a network of support recover better from mental health struggles than those trying to do it alone. And YOU are now taking the first step at expanding your support network It is my goal that through our work together, you will experience rising hope, and that tomorrow will be better than today!

My name is Synthia and I am a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario who has experience in working with people across the lifespan, including those experiencing anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, and many more.

Now accepting new clients. I’ve been fortunate enough to work with adults who need help in building their resilience following life altering changes as well as life-long struggles.

I believe that having the courage to allow yourself to be vulnerable by sharing your story, and being open to learn new ways of coping, can lead to a more balanced self with lasting change. As your therapist, I can help guide you to make healthy choices, to engage in healthy relationships, and to identify your own strengths. I provide an environment of compassion and creativity which helps inform the exploration of personal issues.

Are you feeling stuck? Do you want to make a change and just don’t know where to begin? Do you need a different perspective than that of your friends and family around you regarding your life situation? I have a passion for working with individuals and couples looking to make a change or those who are facing a crossroad or large transition in their lives and are needing some strategies, guidance and support navigating these changes. I like to help guide others towards living their best life using the strength and resources they already have, through skills and practical guidance.

On the outside, you've got it together. You’re reliable, ambitious, and “successful”. On the inside, you never feel good enough, that you’re measuring up - or you’re just burnt out. Crispy, even.

You’ve tried the self-help books, old coping skills and continue to feel like you’re drowning. You want to figure out this whole work-life balance thing in a way that doesn’t leave you feeling selfish or guilty. I want to help you get there.

If you’re struggling with life right now, I can help. I take a gentle approach to counseling - fostering insight, self-compassion, and a deeper understanding of your thoughts and feelings.

Working at a pace that feels safe and supportive for you is key; so I regularly check-in to ensure that this is your experience.

You really care, and whenever you can, you do your best. BUT, you're sick and tired of being sick and tired.. You are STUCK, feeling overwhelmed, unsettled, and better connected to the suffering lately, than the EASE you wish you could just feel. Life is tricky right now, and the past hasn't been easy, either. You wonder - maybe it's stupid to hold out hope for change? You don't want to feel this way, but nothing you've tried so far has helped. You just don't know what you need to feel better, and you're starting to wonder if there is really anything better out there for you on the horizon, or, if this is... just as good as it gets?

Life brings about many hardships and at times it can be difficult to cope or adjust. You could end up with anxiety, low mood, a hit to your self-esteem and relationships.

Accepting new clients! We all experience challenging times in our lives and taking that first step in deciding to come to therapy can be difficult. I am passionate about supporting people by taking the time to understand my clients’ unique experiences, from their own perspectives and individual histories. With this knowledge in mind, I help clients gain insight and understanding into their difficult life experiences, identify challenges and goals, and create strategies for positive growth, as well as space for healing.

Many people have become more aware of their mental health needs, but aren’t always sure what to do with this new awareness. Making sense of how past events may be continuing to impact you, identifying preferred ways of living, determining what you've got to put up against any mental health concerns present in your life, and mapping out how to live into the person that you want to be, are all things that can be accomplished in therapy.
