You are struggling with feelings of stress, overwhelmedness, and stuck-ness that might be new—or you’ve had them as long as you can remember. You might be feeling low, unmotivated, and having a hard time getting back to your ‘usual self'. Your life, career, or relationships just aren't going the way you'd like them to, and you want to create more helpful patterns and experiences. These and other issues (grief, parenting and pregnancy/postpartum) are all things people I see are experiencing and wanting to change. I am fluent in ASL and understand the unique issues clients who are Deaf or hard-of-hearing face.

I work with a wide range of concerns because humans are complicated, and your struggles likely don’t fit into one domain. However, I see myself as a Psychotherapist fitting well with times of transition or uncertainty, whether that be in interpersonal relationships, personal identities & values, work & education, family roles, or recalibrating after significant experiences. As a member of the 2S-LGBTQIA+ and non-monogamous communities, I would be especially honoured to help you make sense of your space in the world.

Accepting new clients for September! I know finding the “right” therapist can feel hard. I create a space where you're free to think, feel, and speak authentically. Life can feel challenging and isolating to navigate – you're not alone in feeling like the world is on fire. I believe our past experiences affect us now, and noticing patterns and taking time to understand ourselves can help us be more present, comfortable, and kind with ourselves. I'll listen to you without judgement and support you in pursuing what matters most to you.

For 25 years, I have been in practice both within the hospital and community settings. I work with a diverse group of individuals with an eclectic range of issues. I strongly value the relationship between the therapist and the client and so do not adhere to a predetermined approach to therapy; every person's situation is unique and as a result, my approach is tailored to meet individual needs.

I am currently accepting new clients for in-person or virtual therapy. Maybe you have been thinking about starting therapy but are worried it won't help. You hate asking for help and can usually figure things out on your own, but lately everything feels exhausting. You want to make some changes but don't know where to start. If you are feeling overwhelmed, frustrated or just tired of the negative soundtrack in your head, let's talk. It is time to start enjoying life, improving your relationships, and taking action toward your goals.

I work well with daydreamers, soul-seekers, free spirits with haunting pasts - and those who have had trouble fitting in. More specifically, I work with adult clients, using an integrative approach that employs techniques from Mindfulness, Existential, Narrative, and Depth Psychology. I am queer-identifying, gender and sexuality-affirming, weight-inclusive, trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and sex positive. I love working with clients who are spiritual, and those who have had strange experiences. I also have a special interest in helping asexual spectrum clients, gender non-binary clients, and other LGBTQIA2S+ folx.

We all stumble and work to find our way back, but sometimes life adds challenges that make these ups and downs harder to navigate. Relationship struggles, shifting goals, social pressures and the added stress that comes with change can leave us overwhelmed, make us feel stuck, make us question if we're good enough or make make our decisions feel impossible. Support can help us to examine our paths and patterns and to regain our confidence so that we can build the life we want.

We can sometimes feel alone in our struggles. We may be asking if we are the problem in these situations as our needs are consistently not being met in our life circumstances. In session with me, I take on a holistic approach to your life. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to openly discuss what you are going through and the goals/dreams that you wish to move closer to attaining. I often consider myself like a coach on a team. I will always be in your corner cheering you on, but that doesn't mean that I am not going to help push you towards the goals that you set for yourself.

Taking the first step towards reaching out to a therapist can feel very overwhelming, so congratulations for taking that step today! The reasons for connecting with a therapist are varied and unique to the individual, as such my practice is to work to fully understand the concerns you are navigating, as you see them. In unpacking the concerns and the subsequent impact, we can work together to explore different ways of responding to the issues you're facing, be it a change of circumstance, or a change in how you feel about the circumstance. Together we can work towards creating a life that is more rich and meaningful on your terms.

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.
