Therapists in T4N

We all encounter some degree of difficulty within our lives, and sometimes we find it difficult to navigate these hard times alone. If your relationships have become unfulfilling, or you are experiencing a loss of a relationship, difficult time communicating in your relationships, disrupted sleep, reduced pleasure in previously enjoyable activities, excessive worry/concern, workplace distress, job loss/transition, finding it hard to cope with stress and pressure of daily life, or finding it challenging in adapting to new roles within your life, then allow me to help.

In life, challenges are everywhere. Do you feel that you are under too much pressure, worrying about the demands of the outside world? Are you constantly disturbed by past painful memories, feeling doubtful of yourself and powerless to change? I'd be willing to help! I have thousands of hours of psychological assessment and intervention experience working with clients with a variety of mental health concerns in inpatient and outpatient psychiatric units, health-related (cancer, cardiac, and neurological disease) clinics and rehabilitation centres, and private practice places.

You want to live a rich, full, meaningful life, but something is getting in your way. Maybe you are struggling with an underlying sense of being unfulfilled or stuck. Maybe you are struggling to cope with a recent life change or loss. Maybe you are struggling to overcome an addiction or to manage feelings and symptoms of depression or anxiety. No matter what your unique struggle involves, there is a good chance it has left you feeling exhausted. It may even have you feeling like you are at war with your own mind.

Lasting change often starts with developing an understanding of how we think and act during the challenges we face and learning how to respond to the difficult emotions that arise. I aim to collaboratively explore each client’s strengths and current difficulties to help improve coping skills, increase flexibility in their response to stressful situations, process traumatic events, and support a meaningful change in their life. I foster a compassionate and empathetic therapeutic relationship that allows clients to feel respected, understood, and empowered.

Welcome! I am a PhD trained Clinical Psychologist. Areas of expertise are OCD, anxiety (panic, phobias, social, generalized), health fears/illness anxiety, and somatic distress.

It is not unusual to experience feelings of being lost, stuck, alone, or turned around throughout our lives. When these feelings are left unchecked, we can develop negative thoughts, behaviours, or fears that lead to distress and suffering. This keeps us from living the life we deserve - a true fulfillment of who we are. You can get through these times with the right care and the right support from a mental health professional who sees you as a whole person having life experiences. You can heal, build resilience, and create the life that you want for yourself. I can help you to rise strong on your pathway to well-becoming.

I have practiced social work for almost two decades and have devoted my career to assisting at-risk families. I have a Clinical Master of Social Work (MSW) in children's mental health and specialize in assessment and intervention where children are the subject of custody determinations or parenting disputes. My training includes family mediation and the creation of developmentally sensitive parenting plans. I have additional forensic training in assessment of family violence and child maltreatment. I am trained in child-led play, therapeutic access and am a registered Circle of Security Parenting Facilitator.

Are you ready to feel connected again, to let go of trauma, dysfunctional habits, and fears that have prevented you from moving forward and reaching your goals? I can help. I work in the areas of self-esteem, emotional regulation, eating disorders, addictions, relationships, work, and overall fulfillment in life. Whether you are caught in destructive patterns, experiencing anxiety, depression, panic, unexplainable sadness, or disconnection from yourself, together we can work to help you gain a sense of grounding, safety, healing, and freedom.

I. AM. FULL. A rough childhood, a bad relationship, or a soul sucking job taught you to get your feelings of worth from people pleasing. But it didn't work. You've spent your life giving to your spouse, children, parents or job. You thought this would make you happy, but now you may feel weighed down, resentful, overwhelmed, or always on the verge of tears. Maybe you feel depressed, unworthy, or like you're drowning. You've taken care of everyone except yourself. Feelings of unworthiness or fear of being selfish may be stopping you from giving yourself the care you’ve given to everyone else. But there is hope.

I am a Registered Psychologist who has experience in both inpatient, and outpatient community settings providing individual, couples, family and group services to diverse populations and age ranges. I have extensive training in a number of therapy modalities however, I use an integrative structured approach to counselling mainly incorporating Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and EMDR. I am also able to complete psycho-educational assessment, social-emotional diagnostic assessments, as well as cognitive and memory assessments.

Have you been called needy? Or been called cold/distant by people you’re in relationship with? Do you find you vacillate between feeling needy or emotionally shut down? These issues are based on, what psychologists call, insecure attachment styles. These are relationship styles that we subconsciously learn when we are young and take with us into adulthood.

Life can get so busy and overwhelming! It can be isolating at times, and leave us feeling anxious and distressed. Sometimes we are unsure how to cope or help our loved ones to do so. I am happy to offer counselling to adolescents and their families, adults, and couples that are struggling to navigate difficulties in their relationships, anxiety, depression, stress, emotional regulation, trauma, and/or grief.

Are you struggling to fall asleep or stay asleep? Have you tried various methods to improve your sleep but without success? As a PhD trained clinical psychologist specialized in evidence-based therapy for insomnia, I'd be delighted to help you achieve restful sleep. Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), the first-line recommended treatment, has proven effective for up to 80% of individuals. Many see significant sleep improvements within just a few weeks, with lasting benefits.

Currently accepting new clients for individual or couples counselling. Whether you're struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties, having a safe and supportive space to explore your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, as well as guidance to develop coping strategies is important. I work with my clients to help them find greater well-being, improve their relationships, and gain a deeper understanding of themselves. I can assist you in overcoming obstacles that have been holding you back and work towards a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and personal empowerment.

Feeling really worried? Having trouble sleeping? Struggling to adjust to change? I can help. I work with adults to manage unpleasant emotions and thoughts; improve sleep; develop decision making and problem solving skills; deal with imposter syndrome; and cope with life transitions (i.e., becoming a parent/caregiver, changing job/career, moving to a new place, retirement, relationship challenges). Together, we can make sense of your current situation and determine how you can improve your wellbeing and overall life satisfaction. I have worked with diverse populations and welcome all adults.

Overwhelmed or burned out, struggling to focus or decompress? It's hard to be at our best through times of stress and personal hardship. With over 10 years of clinical practice, I will help you establish lasting wellness so you can stay on top of what really matters - your interests, responsibilities, and relationships. Let's make sense of your concerns, find a clear way forward, and get you back on track.

Hey there! I know it can feel pretty overwhelming trying to choose the right therapist, and it's so important to find the right fit! We are a no wait list clinic, so we can address your needs immediately when you are ready. If you are struggling with depression, addiction, anxiety, trauma, stress related symptoms, or are feeling unfulfilled in relationships, we can help. Perhaps you don't want to spend months in a traditional therapy treatment in order to feel better? I also offer EMDR intensives which are multiple sessions in a short period of time or longer sessions for faster improvement.
