You might not believe me right now, but it will get better. Whether you're grappling with the overwhelming weight of anxiety, the persistent fog of depression, or the unique complexities of neurodivergence, each day can feel like a tumbling, uphill battle. You feel constantly on edge even when you know there’s nothing wrong. The world feels gray and robbed of its colour. And you’re exhausted from trying to fit into a world that wasn't designed for your unique brain. Somehow, you’ve lost the will to be kind to yourself, let alone “love yourself,” even though all the IG inspo accounts you follow make it seem like that's so easy to do.

INSIGHT & PRACTICE FOR CHANGE: I believe we all have the inherent ability to live a meaningful, satisfying, and connected life. At some point most people will become aware or begin to feel that they are somehow "off course", that "something needs to change" or that something new is desired. This realization is an opportunity to "adjust course", take stock, and intentionally re-align our lives. Sometimes small shifts can make incredible differences; other times we are called to dig deep. Whether you want to make personal, professional or relationship shifts, by reaching out to me you can trust that the change process has already started.

My ideal client is someone standing at a crossroads, feeling the weight of life’s changes, anxiety, or a quiet restlessness. They’re holding it all together on the surface but feel a deep pull for something different, something more. They seek clarity, a break from the overwhelm, and a safe space to explore their emotions. Their goal is to find peace in the chaos, to reconnect with themselves, and to step forward with purpose. They long to feel seen, understood, and gently guided toward growth, healing, and a life that truly feels like their own.

Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Counsellors

How does cognitive behavioural therapy work?

Cognitive behavioural therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophising or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.

When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioural therapy?

It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioural therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.

How can I find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else?

To find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioural therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.

Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?

CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
