The pain and suffering of grief and loss, heartbreak, and the transitions of life. Feeling like we’re failing as parents, partners, in our work, or in the other multiple roles we play.

Or perhaps we're just simply ready to elevate, embrace, and connect to our fullest potential and truest self through the growth and change that we desire.

Adversity is one thing that we can come to expect in an increasingly demanding and stressful world. When adversity overwhelms us, it can impact those parts of our lives that are most meaningful. Whether adversity presents as emotion dysregulation, anxiety, depression, grief, interpersonal conflict, addiction, anger or loss; the impact can be devastating, undermining our sense of self and confidence. These issues are at the core of my practice.

Life can be stressful and overwhelming. Are you feeling down and don’t know how to move forward? Whether it is because of loneliness, feelings of failure, health problems, financial issues, career pressure, or relationships that have left you hurt and misunderstood, I am here to support you and provide a safe space on your journey to healing and self-awareness.

Struggling in your marriage, single and navigating a breakup or divorce, unsatisfied or in conflict at work, stressed by or grieving family dynamics, anxious about your life decisions - the common thread is relationships. The Relationship Agency is a group of expert therapists who help people to navigate relationships, work, life transitions, anxiety, grief, and depression - and all the other experiences that make us human. We believe relationships are everything, and help people improve their lives by mastering relationships - in love, family, and at work.

Navigating pain from trauma, relationships, and life in general, can often feel like an overwhelming burden, creating a heaviness that doesn't seem to go away. Sometimes, those around us struggle, or refuse, to understand our experiences or offer their support. When this happens, it is common to have feelings of self-doubt and frustration, wondering why it's so challenging to simply "move on." However, the reality is much more complicated than that, and we often unfairly take on more blame and self-criticism than we deserve. You don't want to feel like this anymore, and so reaching out for support is a brave step toward self-love.

Taking this first step isn't always easy, so we'd love to thank you for your bravery on wanting to show up for yourself today. Together, we will work on supporting and processing your struggles that may surround anxiety, depression, grief/loss, trauma, postpartum, and any other areas that you'd like support with. Our goal is to provide an empathetic, compassionate, and non-judgemental Safe Place while using approaches tailored to your needs for self-discovery and aim to navigate through some of your current challenges and to better understand your life story. No matter what, you will always feel heard and validated.

Relationships are hard. When things aren't going well, there's nothing more difficult than trying to deal with another person, especially someone you love. It can leave you feeling overwhelmed, confused, heartbroken and alone. It can get you questioning everything you ever thought was real about your relationship and wonder how you'll ever get things right side up again. Don't give up. I know it's not easy, but it can get better.

I am here to help you find your way through life's transitions, unmanageable stress, hopelessness, overwhelm, and anxiety. I will meet you where you are at, help you figure out where you want to be, and collaborate on how to help you get there. I am a guide for self-exploration, personal responsibility, and helping you to re-author the stories and narratives of your life. I am passionate about supporting caregivers who are assisting family members with disabilities, aging parents, and those struggling with fertility and all of the challenges and emotions that go along with that.

Take a deep breath, you're finally here looking for the help you think you might need. Let's talk about the hustle of life. It's like being in a marathon, with the finish line constantly moving. Pressure comes from everywhere – pressures of society as we scroll through social media, family demands, work challenges, and that nagging voice in your head asking if you're enough. It's the constant effort of trying to overcome letdowns from others and ourselves. Sometimes, it can feel like you're an outsider in your own life, watching through a window as everyone else seems to have it all figured out.

I am a compassionate, understanding, non-judgmental counsellor who believes everyone has the right to wellness and balance. I provide insurance-friendly counselling for individuals, couples, families and children. My special area of focus is in helping my clients to free themselves from their painful, traumatic pasts and to achieve personal balance and wellness as they create a fresh start in life. Often, emotional and physical pain is resolved from the inside out as my clients and I interact, and as we work together to arrive at a deeper understanding of their condition and the solutions they seek.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) pursuing a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, in good standing with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. I have broad exposure to a plethora of therapeutic modalities including CBT, ACT, Narrative Therapy, SFBT, and Mindfulness. I have been a Registered Nurse since 2016, specializing in critical care, in good standing with the College of Nurses of Ontario. My intensive care medicine background has allowed me to integrate complementary therapies with conventional medicine, enhancing care for a wide demographic of clients.

We all feel lost sometimes or face life challenges and relationships that can feel overwhelming. Life is tough, but I believe we all have the ability to overcome hardships. Together, we can explore your concerns and past traumas, working towards lasting change that helps you progress toward the person and future you desire and deserve. I believe in a collaborative approach that empowers and motivates you during the therapeutic process. It's important to me to not only understand and address your concerns throughout therapy, but also to remind you of your strengths and capacity to contribute to goal setting and problem solving.

Many of the problems we experience in life can be traced back to parts of ourself that are wounded or not properly integrated. I help you to reflect and make sense of your experience, and to work through areas of your life that bring discomfort. In moving through these discomforts/stuck areas in a new way, you release these wounds, become free from their grasp & move into more aligned, embodied & authentic living. We cannot fully integrate (become whole in our life) unless we heal and integrate all parts (this includes shadow work, healing parental and childhood wounds, ego work, sacred sexuality, reprogramming belief systems).

Namaste! I provide individual, relationship and marriage counselling, in a nonjudgmental, relaxed environment. Over the last 35 years I have worked with individuals and couples guiding, teaching and helping them by using an eclectic approach, and a variety of different types of modalities depending on the particular needs of my clients. I also provide family mediation and relationship counselling for couples who have split. I am a sex therapist, working with all couples and individuals. I specialize in many areas, as I believe all issues are connected, so to treat problems in isolation is unrealistic and can be short lived.

Therapy is a way out of feeling helpless & hopeless. At The Insight Clinic our priority is getting you results.

We use a non-judgemental approach that considers the influence of traumatic memories on current issues. This will shed light onto solutions you haven’t seen before.
