We provide counselling for children, teens and adults. We understand that life can be layered and complicated, and sometimes it's helpful to have some guidance and support along the way. Mental health issues can have an impact at work, home, school, or in social settings, and can cause stress in even the most resilient individuals and families. We work with clients and families to understand and overcome challenges, using effective counselling interventions to achieve lasting and meaningful change.

Welcome! I’m Maggie, a Registered Social Worker who deeply values connecting with people. My therapeutic approach is compassionate, holistic, integrative, and dialectic in nature: Encouraging you to accept yourself as you are, while simultaneously working to make changes to ways of being that are no longer serving you. In therapy, I aim to provide a comfortable venue for you to gain insight into, and discuss parts of your life that have become challenging and uncomfortable. Together we will discover new ways of being and behaving that are more useful for you.

Accepting new clients virtually. Are you a high-achiever who's feeling stuck dealing with big emotions? Perhaps you're finding yourself angrier than usual, yelling at loved ones, or disconnecting and numbing. Perhaps you're drowning your sorrows in alcohol, weed, over-eating, mindless scrolling, or maybe even overworking. Do you feel that no matter how hard you work, you just don't feel good enough? There's a part of you that knows you are capable. But this gnawing inner voice doesn't let you believe that you are ‘enough.’

Are you feeling stuck in an older version of yourself that you know is ready to change? Do you live with the feeling that there's a truer version of "you" that's dying to come out? Are you held back by complicated relationships from your past, that seem to keep you in a holding pattern? Are you a couple stuck in a pattern that keeps you apart? Often we hit a place where we know we are ready for a transition, but we're just not sure what to do next. That's when therapy can be the most powerful. It's my greatest privilege to experience real connection with folks who are journeying towards a more meaningful, fulfilled, authentic life.

In my view Psychotherapy is Value, Quality HealthCare and Time Well Spent. Whether you feel hurt, stuck, lost, disoriented or unclear, with the help of psychotherapy, you will be able to make your choice to live your life with purpose, to give your consent to what matters to you, to say "Yes!" to a life that you can call your own. I offer immediate help of high value and quality care for a variety of mental health conditions and imbalances, where emotional support and creating a safe and respectful environment are essential for understanding of self and life.

In the four decades of my work in the mental health field I have learned to tailor my approach to the unique needs of the individuals with whom I work. My training in psychodynamic and interpersonal therapies has helped sensitize me to the complex developmental and family roots of our personalities and struggles. I will help you determine the kind of healing that is the best fit at the current stage of your life journey. I am aware that some people will want to consider medication as a complement to psychotherapy. Although I do not prescribe medication my experience enables me to guide a person who may wish to consider meds.

Sometimes, feelings of depression, anxiety, anger, resentment, worthlessness and isolation can persist and make us feel stuck or hopeless. It can feel like being on a hamster wheel – repeating the same unproductive patterns or harmful behaviours. Therapy can help with emotional processing and connect us with our inner world. It makes room for the difficult emotions and experiences that need our attention and greater understanding. Through deeper awareness, we can then explore new perspectives and solutions and a clearer way forward to a better quality of life.
