I exclusively offer online sessions through a dedicated team at Strength Counselling Services. Over the years, I’ve gained a strong understanding of what makes therapy effective, especially when it comes to the social and psychological aspects that can impact peoples lives. My work as a full-time Hospital Social Worker has given me hands-on experience, particularly in mental health care across different settings like geriatric rehabilitation, emergency medicine, and psychiatric care. My background in psychotherapy has sharpened my skills in both group and individual therapy, especially when it comes to helping kids and teens.

Hi I'm Lenore. I'm the right fit for you if therapy seems daunting and you need a gentle approach.

Life has endless challenges for children, youth and young adults these days. Issues that previous generations didn't even need to think about are now part of every day life for younger generations - cyberbullying, worries about school safety, increased rates of mental health struggles, societal conversations about gender and sexuality... On top of that are the issues that have plagued youth for generations - stress, school, dating, friends, and numerous other issues to wade through day by day. Sometimes it's hard to cope with these things on our own though, and that's where I come in.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist who helps people who are struggling with feelings of guilt, shame, and depression. Many of these are common symptoms for people who struggle with mental health conditions. Understanding the barriers in a person’s life, and previous trauma, can help identify present day triggers and daily struggles. The goal of therapy would be to work collaboratively, using a psychotherapy framework, to identify the cause of the struggles and work towards understanding and reducing symptoms affecting your daily life.

We often tend to imagine a life without obstacles. What happens when we think this way and then suddenly problems arise? We may experience stress, anxiety and sometimes even depression. The reality is that we can't avoid the turmoil of life throughout our lives. We must therefore arm ourselves with courage and tools to overcome and accept them without destroying our fragile balance.
