Therapists in V6C

Do you want to feel more connected and happier in your relationships? Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed by your feelings? Do you often feel sad, worried, or anxious? Many of my clients are professionals, parents, students, and creatives who appear to be functioning well on the outside, but inwardly are feeling anxious, inadequate, and disconnected. Whether you're dealing with something right now or want to understand your feelings better, I'm here to help and ready to support you.

Let's face it, finding the right counsellor fit can be intimidating. Having to share vulnerably with a stranger is not something that most people find comfortable and yet the benefits can be transformative when the environment is right. The approach I take as a counsellor is often described as a mix of casual and easy-going with a matching of investigative curiosity and problem-solving. The goal of my work is to help clients deepen their understanding of themselves, their situation, and their environment so that they can best make an informed decision on how to move forward and ultimately improve their quality of life and agency.

We'll create a safe space together to explore your emotions, thoughts, and troubling experiences. Everyone is strong, resilient, and creative, and we can all strive to be the best version of ourselves. No one is permanently “ill”; we are just temporarily discouraged by our life circumstances and trapped in unhelpful cycles.
