With over 10 years of experience, I am well-versed in a vast array of therapeutic approaches: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Somatic Experiencing (SE), Internal Family Systems (IFS), trauma-informed practice, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and more.
Are you caught in the relentless grip of intrusive thoughts, trapped in the cycle of rumination, or paralyzed by over-analysis? Perhaps you're navigating the complexities of anxiety, OCD, trauma, body dysmorphic disorder, or debilitating phobias? If you reached out to a therapist, have you experienced an increase in your symptoms or stagnation? If so, know that you're not alone. I am here to offer you steadfast support, compassion and tailored therapeutic techniques to support you in not only reclaiming your life but get you closer to your goals.

Je suis bilingue & j'offre mes services and anglais et en français. An Associate at Laura Murton Psychotherapy, I work with clients to alleviate symptoms; cope in new ways with grief, life transitions, family and parenting issues, breakups, separation, divorce, infidelity, social issues, school issues, and work-related issues; and heal from trauma, domestic and family conflict or abuse, sexual abuse or assault, and attachment issues. I serve the general population, and also focus on sexual assault survivors, gifted and high achieving adults, parents, healthcare workers, and humanitarian aid and international development workers.

Do you feel like you and your partner have the same argument over and over without any resolution? You are not alone. Most of the couples that come to see me talk about being stuck in this way. My job is to help you connect with your partner in meaningful way so that the two of you start to have different conversations than the ones you do at home. I also offer sex therapy. Whether you are an individual or couple, part of a monogamous or open relationship I offer a safe, non- judgemental, confidential space for you to share your experience.

I believe that choosing to tell and own our story is the bravest thing we will ever do. My commitment is to create a safe, non-judgemental, and warm place where you can feel seen and heard. In my clinical practice, it is a privilege and pleasure to work with youth (16 yrs+), adult individuals, and couples. I support people as they work through various mental health difficulties, relational issues, sexuality, LGBTQ issues, overwhelming experiences, and identity. I have a special interest and research focus on emotion regulation issues (uncontrolled/overcontrolled emotion), intimacy, shame, and anxiety disorders.

Hello. Many people are negatively affected by anxiety and depression. However it's sometimes difficult to figure out why. Similarly many people find relationships difficult and complicated. Both psychodynamic psychotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offer quick, effective ways to cut through symptoms and understand what is underlying our challenges. My work often employs short-term techniques, exploring thoughts and feelings around relationships, self-esteem or historical trauma, using a focussed and directed, but nurturing approach. I also offer long-term therapy when we need extra time to explore more complex issues.

We both bring something special to the counselling relationship; you bring wisdom about yourself, I offer expertise on healing. Together we build a compassionate connection, & as a team we focus bringing balance into your life. As a telephone counsellor, I work with women across the globe. Research shows that telephone counselling is as effective as in-person support; it is convenient for women with time constraints, mobility issues, & those with limited access to quality therapy.

I work with adults (18+yrs) who are challenged by depression, stress, anxiety, and/or trauma. I am particularly experienced in working with those who are struggling with relationships, poor self-confidence/self-esteem, addiction/substance use recovery, burnout, loss and/or grief, or adjusting to major life transitions (e.g., divorce, career, parenthood, retirement). Being a nurse also makes me uniquely positioned to help support others who work in healthcare. So many of my clients are nurses or other health care professionals who are struggling with work-life balance, burnout, or emotional challenges in their personal lives.

The healing process is unique to each person. While many go through similar events, not everyone experiences them in the same way. I view my clients through a holistic lens to develop a collaborative, therapeutic relationship. I help my clients develop healthy ways to manage distress, find ways to move out of being stuck, develop new insight for unresolved issues, and increase overall wellbeing. My primary focus is working with clients who have experienced trauma. Because the nature of trauma is complex, I use an integrative, person-centered approach to meet my clients' needs at their pace and readiness.
