My practice has associates and interns at a reduced rate. Clinical interns are supervised by Jennifer Rogers and can bill under her name.

During our time together, we may use different therapy modalities such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), emotion focused therapy (EFT), family systems theory, mindfulness-based therapy and solution-focused therapy, depending on what is comfortable for you.
Life is a journey which can present us with challenges that are sometimes too difficult to handle alone. As a client-centred therapist, I work from a non-judgemental, empathy-based perspective. My commitment is to accompany you on your journey towards self-understanding and compassion. I work with individuals, couples and families, ages 16+ experiencing various concerns and challenges in their lives such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, post-partum depression, peri and menopausal changes, stress, parenting, relationship issues, grief, and identity exploration.

I am also Internal Family Systems, Emotionally Focused, Somatic, and Trauma informed.
Tired of constantly feeling overwhelmed yet underwhelmed? Feeling weighed down by anxiety or depression? Struggling with feeling stuck and not sure what to do next? Throughout our lives we experience challenges that can leave us feeling lost, stuck, and alone. I am here to help you reconnect with your authentic self. Through identifying protective strategies that may no longer be serving you and tuning into the messages your emotions are bringing you, we will work to reveal your true voice and increase clarity. Together we'll explore strategies to help you heal from the past, cope with the present, and create the future you want.

I provide individual, couple, and family therapy working from integrative systemic, evidence-based, and male-centered approaches.
I often wonder why there is so much pain and suffering. I realized that what we need is not homeostasis or a tensionless state. Instead, we need the right amount of tension for change, growth, and development to take place. I had the privilege to journey with people facing different aspects of the human condition (suffering, grief, loss, meaninglessness, etc.) I am often amazed by human determination, courage, and strength in the process toward growth and development as they face life challenges. Life is full of challenges and adversity; it would be a privilege to journey with you toward a meaningful and purpose-driven life.

I don't believe that every counsellor is the "right" fit for every person/couple/ family therefore I offer a free 15 consultation so that you can decide if I am the best fit for you.
Are you looking for assistance navigating your relationship's ups and downs? Looking for ways to reconnect as a couple, work through life stressors in a healthy and loving partnership, or managing conflict better? We all know that relationships take work and attention, and sometimes we need a bit of assistance with this. Every relationship goes through hardships and reaching out is a natural and healthy step, whether you are going through situational issues or long-standing ones. My goal is to help make the journey a tad less bumpy, and help couples create a stronger, long lasting bond.

Relationships can be challenging, whether with family, friends, or co-workers. The same conflicts seem to keep repeating themselves with no sense of relief or resolution. I specialize in working with relationships - with family, friends, coworkers, spouses/ partners, dating. I treat individuals looking to understand/ heal themselves in relation to self and others, and couples seeking solutions and communication skills. Imagine a life where you look forward to uplifting conversations and time spent with loved ones, rather than rehashing the same old arguments and misunderstandings day after day.

Are you struggling with your mental health or in your relationship with your partner or family? Reaching out for help can be a daunting experience. Successful therapy depends on finding the right therapist - one you can connect with and one who is competent to work with your issues. These are two of the most important factors in getting the right help. Are you a therapist looking for your own therapist, clinical supervision or mentorship? Are you developing your competencies to become and independent practitioner or looking for consultation to navigate difficult cases?

Life is so complicated! Do we need anxiety and depression to add to our list of issues? Stress from our jobs, partners, spouses and family dysfunction just add to the list of everyday pressures. Add childhood and early life traumas and the plate is already overwhelming. Our goal is to thrive in today’s crazy world and overcome the stubborn obstacles that hold us back from emotional happiness.

Add childhood and early life traumas and the plate is already overwhelming. Our goal is to thrive in today’s crazy world and overcome the stubborn obstacles that hold us back from emotional happiness.
Approaching with a trauma informed lens, we will draw on Internal Family Systems, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Self-Compassion and more.
I work with people who experience intense emotions with the aim of coming to understand these feelings as not only real, but also important, valid, and meaningful. Generally, this includes teens (13+), young adults, adults, and parents who are hoping to work toward managing their feelings in a way that allows them to interact with the world, and their loved ones, more effectively. As someone who focuses on this area of feelings work I have developed strong skills working with anxiety, BPD, ADHD, trauma, and grief, as these areas are often interconnected. Clients often describe me as warm, kind, and (at least a little bit) funny.
