I am very privileged to work with clients who are interested in their self growth and development. Most of the time when people come to see a psychologist they are wanting to have some change in their life and they need the space to talk through their issues. I love providing a safe, confidential place for people to explore the difficulties and life experiences that have been challenging for them.

You might be finding that life feels heavier than it used to. The things that once felt manageable now leave you drained, anxious, or second-guessing yourself. Perhaps there’s been conflict, loss, or change, and you’re not sure what you need - only that something doesn't feel right. Counselling offers a space to slow down and make sense of what’s been happening; to reconnect with yourself, and find steadier ground.

Adjusting to change is one of the hardest things to do. Whether it is because of an intentional or purposeful change, or it is completely out of your control, finding your way safely to a place of balance and "normality" again can sometimes feel impossible. That change could be triggered by something really devastating, like losing a life partner or child, difficult relationships, poor mental health, a traumatic incident or event, illness or disability. Or maybe homelessness, job loss, migration. Or it could be something that only you see as problematic. All triggers are equally valid. Wherever there is change there is usually loss.

I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected and want support to better understand themselves and their experiences. Many of my clients experience anxiety, depression, stress, or burnout, and come from diverse cultural backgrounds and/or are part of the LGBTIQA+ community. Some are navigating challenges with identity or sexuality, while others struggle with low self-esteem, emotional overwhelm, or unhelpful patterns of behaviour. Together, we work to understand these challenges, learn to cope, and build a stronger sense of self in a safe, inclusive, and non-judgemental space.

Maybe your relationship looks fine from the outside, but underneath it feels disconnected, reactive or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to shift. Maybe you’re navigating trauma, identity, intimacy, communication, trust, non-monogamy, kink, or relationship dynamics that don’t fit the usual script, and you want a space where you don’t have to filter yourself.

Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists
What are the most effective ways to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns?
The most effective way to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns is by finding a therapist who has prior experience helping other patients overcome the challenge being faced. For example, a marriage and family therapist may have experience helping couples adjust to their new relationship dynamic. An anxiety specialist may have experience helping with phobias or illness anxiety related to the child’s health. A depression specialist may have experience treating postpartum depression.

When should I seek treatment for prenatal or postpartum concerns?
Pregnancy and the postpartum period involve intense physical and mental changes; a degree of upset and instability is normal. However, if these changes impair daily functioning, it may be time to seek help. This distinction is pertinent for postpartum depression: A period of teariness, irritability, and distress is difficult but normal in the one to two weeks after childbirth (sometimes called the “baby blues.”) But if feelings of sadness and hopelessness persist beyond that period, the person should seek treatment.

How do I manage worries during pregnancy or the postnatal period?
A therapist can help patients develop the tools they need to manage anxieties during or after pregnancy. Cognitive behavioural therapy can help people identify and reframe harmful patterns of thought, and change their behaviours. Other techniques and skills can allow people to develop acceptance, psychological flexibility, self-compassion, communication skills, and more.
