Change can be scary, however, growth lies in discomfort. Leveraging a diverse set of techniques refined over years of clinical practice, I strive to uncover the underlying issues that may be influencing your overall wellbeing. Whether the problem feels small or big, old or new; I am open to bringing it into the room for closer observation and deeper discovery. Everyone has the capacity to change their lives. I recognize that we are each more than just our family, our relationships, our biology, or our circumstances, but also understand that our connection to each of these may profoundly impact our sense of wellbeing.

Some of us are born with really big emotions and they can be difficult to rein in. Being sensitive is a double-edged sword. It comes with an extraordinary capacity to be lively, connected with others, generate insights, and experience life with great intensity. However, without solid regulation skills, we can also suffer tremendously and get lost on our path. This might describe you or one (or more) of your children. It may feel like the relationships in your family are strained or chaotic – in a way that is hard to get out of. You are not alone!

We seek out therapy for many reasons, but the process of finding a therapist who is a good fit for us can itself feel overwhelming. I first and foremost offer a safe space where you can feel heard, seen and understood. My approach to therapy is relational and collaborative, which means that it is the co-created relationship between us that is the healing force of therapy. Our sessions draw upon experiences from the past and bring to light how these get replayed, with or without our knowing, in our present ways of thinking, feeling and relating to others. Together we explore these repetitive patterns that can keep us feeling stuck.

They say our greatest weakness lies in giving up! We have all been there. I decided that if life was going to be a monster, I would become its greatest “warrior” and teach others to do the same. Too often we use our armour to hide our inner selves, rather than see it as our strength which only comes from taking a risk, facing our fears, taking a step forward, and learning that every battle is won with wisdom. I am here to empower you to take that chance on yourself — your mind is a powerful force, but you are its master!

Accepting new clients for in person and video sessions. The most important relationship we have in the world is the one we have with ourselves. I’m sorry you are needing to be here; I am glad you are choosing yourself and that you are worth feeling the way you want to feel. When you’ve come to the point of accepting that you need support in overcoming challenges in your life, you may feel overwhelmed, beat down, tired, and low. Many people feel a sense of relief following even the initial session where they’ve taken the first step in improving their life, relationships with others, and the relationship with themselves.

Genuine, non-judgemental, and empathetic by nature, I am passionate about helping people navigate some of life’s most difficult struggles. My passion for psychotherapy stems from witnessing our resiliency when given the proper support and a safe place to heal. In my practice, I meet clients where they're at and aim to walk alongside them as a supportive guide in their therapeutic journey. For some, therapy is about healing past trauma or working through emotionally turbulent times; for others, it's about finding closure, self discovery, or confiding in someone unrelated to their circumstance.

Life can be overwhelming, unfair and full of the unexpected. As we seek change in our own behaviour and circumstances, we are often met with unexpected pain, anxiety, and anger that can be difficult to manage. Psychotherapy is a process in which we address obstacles in life and set goals to healing, understanding and moving forward. There is not challenge in life, big or small, that doesn't deserve the thoughtful reflection of therapy. I work with various presenting concerns, including issues with: anxiety, depression, emotion regulation, loneliness, self-esteem, processing break-ups, stress, burn-out, chronic pain and trauma.

At a time when many people feel more alone and less heard than ever, I warmly invite you to tell your story. I’m a Registered Social Worker with over 30 years of experience, guiding and treating individuals who struggle with anxiety, stress, depression, loss, bereavement, grief, trauma, unwanted change, and relationship difficulties. What my clients often discover is that the stress and doubts weighing them down also help reveal their hidden and lost needs – the opening page of a new road map.

Many of my clients feel like they don't fit in. Some have social anxiety or feel awkward in social settings. Almost all are so hard on themselves. They're swimming in feelings of worthlessness and shame. Who are you really? What is getting in the way of you living your best life? I am a mom to two kids and I understand the ways we get triggered - as parents and as children.

If you've found your way here, it means you're ready to begin a journey – one that may have its share of ups, downs, and unexpected detours. But you're not alone. My name is Vanessa and I'm here to walk alongside you. Through my experience in mental health crisis response services, I learned that behind every struggle lies a story of vulnerability, fears, worries, aspirations, and resilience. I recognized that we all face challenges that can feel hopeless at times. This strengthened my desire to become a therapist and work with individuals in need of support to navigate the complexities of their stories.

I am a family systems therapist who works with youth, parents and couples who have experienced various mental health challenges or are facing stress and anxiety due to relationship conflict. The families I tend to support are often feeling disconnected from one another and stuck in patterns of relating that often intensify their existing challenges. The foundation of my work is in building relationships where clients feel seen, heard and understood, allowing them to draw on their internal strengths. My role as a social worker is to help clients understand themselves and their relationships in a way that supports authentic growth.

I provide therapy and psychoeducational assessments to children and adolescents.

I also understand that goals often shift during the course of therapy, so I like to include you in the process throughout to ensure that you feel understood and believe in the work.
