You deserve to be loved fully! Can you imagine what your life would look life if you felt truly heard, truly seen? Using the work of Harville Hendrix & Hellen LaKelly Hunt, I teach you how to "Get The Love You Want," based on their work in the book by the same name. Having been a therapist for many years, I can truly say that this is the most simple system for learning to achieve relational harmony, this quickly, that I have come accross.

There are times in all of our lives when we encounter struggles, change and challenges that require extra support.

She has specific training related to personality disorders and psychosis.

Accepting new clients: Along your life journey you, or your child/adolescent, may have hit unanticipated challenges, transitions, or trauma, impacting your well-being and capacity to move forward. Others may view you as someone who has it all together, but internally you are stressed, anxious, unmotivated, or shut down. Perhaps, this is happening to your child, or adolescent, and as a parent you have exhausted all ideas, and don’t know where to turn. These difficulties are impacting the emotional/mental health of yourself, your relationships, your work, your schooling, and/or your family dynamics, leaving you feeling unfulfilled.

Have you noticed that lately you aren’t feeling like yourself? Have you been more irritable? More anxious? Are your moods fluctuating more frequently? Perhaps you don’t even know where to begin in addressing your worries, which, rest assured, is quite common! Having 19 years’ experience in the field of mental health, I enjoy supporting and empowering adults through periods of distress, anxiety or depression and work from a strengths based approach to identify unique traits that individuals have to help them find peace and contentment in their lives. I am familiar with different therapeutic modalities and constantly learning.

I offer an empathic approach that empowers and motivates you in your unique therapeutic process. Every human being has the capacity for personal growth; to create meaning; strive toward balance; to fulfill their own potential. ​ I offer support and structure so that you can build on your creativity, wisdom, self-compassion and personal resilience. ​ Providing you with a respectful, confidential space to speak about your personal/family history, formative experiences, beliefs, feelings, and motivations. You will be encouraged to explore your life experiences, to trust yourself, connect with your innate resourcefulness, develop adaptive ways of approaching your challenges and to engage in satisfying and effective actions that reinforce or facilitate further growth.​ ​I believe that there is strength in our diversity. Each individual brings their distinct experience, talents and culture to their healing journey. I strive to provide a therapeutic experience rooted in respect and equity. I am committed to supporting issues of social justice. I am consistent in updating my therapeutic training so that I am able to provide high quality therapeutic experiences.

Clients who see me are often in committed relationships, ones that are new and just getting started or relationships that have a long history of 20-40 years or more. People want to change the relationship, deepen it or decide if it is a keeper. What each person values may need to be clarified and shared. The language they use to communicate may not bring the results they want so we look at changing how they relate, the stance each takes, the influence of family values and history. How about intimacy: is it enough to satisfy each person, is it often enough, is it forgotten?

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Stressed? Experiencing sadness or anxiety? Are you having ruminating thoughts and want an experienced therapist that can help?

Having spent years working closely with first responders, adults, teens, couples and families, I believe that each person has the ability to live in recovery and I am here to help guide you there.

I work from the belief that all people make sense. From this lens, I believe all of our parts and patterns have a purpose and that more often than not this purpose is to protect us. But why do these ways of protecting ourselves sometimes feel like they are doing the opposite? Together we will bring curiosity and compassion towards this question while adapting new perspectives and reorganizing patterns within yourself, your nervous system and your relationships.

Therapy shouldn't feel like a chore. While it might sometimes be hard to hear what is discussed in therapy, overall you should leave feeling like you've gained something useful or even transformative. Over time, you should feel you are getting stronger, more resilient and have shed layers of fear and anxiety. Of course this process can be overwhelming at times and you might not always progress on the timeframe that you thought you would, but when therapy goes well, you should feel more settled and more clear about your life. You should gain understanding about yourself and others and have a renewed sense of purpose and passion

Do you suffer from anxiety and/or depression? Are you currently struggling with life's challenges? What about your relationships, are you experiencing difficulties? I believe we all have moments when we need someone to talk to and someone who can understand. Because I am a mature therapist, I am able to blend my life experience with my education and help those who are struggling emotionally, relationally and/or mentally with life's challenges. Furthermore, I believe articulating clear counselling goals and formulating solid treatment plans can help achieve your desired outcomes.

Therapy is a journey back to our own wisdom, and to our physical bodies. Sometimes we can become overwhelmed with emotions, anxiety, and with life. Using a compassionate, relational approach, I can help bring you back in touch with the various parts of yourself, to see what is stuck and what has to fade in order to find the song of who you truly are. We will explore through many experiences of embodiment, parts work, roleplay, dreams, and dialogue so that through awarenesses that emerge, you will have opportunity to see your life and relationships differently, allowing you to make empowered choices for yourself and others.

Hello! Thank you for taking the time and exploring the possible next steps of your counselling journey. It is important to know you're not doing this on your own.

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.

Art therapy is an ideal way for individuals or groups to explore therapy and find healing and support. Therapy can be joyful and creative. My ideal client is open to discover positive and supportive creative and client-focused approaches. Whether you require talk, expressive (non-verbal), brief, long-term, individual or group art therapy, it is a realistic goal. Art-making can explore your stuck or painful feelings, alter any thoughts or behaviours affected by fear, abuse, uncertainty, trauma, grief, loss, diminished moral, or work-stress and anxiety. I look forward to discuss your treatment goals and explore our journey together.

Maybe you're not feeling like yourself lately (worried, sad, irritable, lonely, stressed). Feeling like this can be exhausting. Maybe you have thought of reaching out for help, but even just the thought of that overwhelms you. Let me start by saying that you are not alone! Symptoms of anxiety and depression tend to keep us feeling stuck, creating negative thoughts of self, and preventing us from doing what we need the most...connecting. What 'they' don't want you to know is that when you find the courage to reach out, you are opening the door to new possibilities. You matter and you deserve to feel better! Together, you can heal.

Finding the courage and motivation to seek support to become a healthier, more self-aware version of yourself is a sign of great emotional and mental strength. As your therapist, I work alongside you to come up with solutions and new perspectives while utilizing the skills you already obtain or gain in therapy to navigate your presenting issues. I value the uniqueness of each and every client story, and approach clients with empathy, unconditional positive regard, and non-judgment. I truly believe that the clients are the experts of their own lives, and building strong therapeutic rapport and trust with clients is top priority.
