I work with individuals across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, and adults from diverse cultural backgrounds. Many of the people I support come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by challenges such as anxiety, depression, OCD, stress, or relationship difficulties. Others may be navigating identity concerns, trauma-related experiences, or long-standing patterns that feel hard to shift.
I also support neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD and Autism, supporting them in ways that honour their unique strengths and experiences.

Life is full of adversity. This can sometimes leave us feeling anxious, lost, alone and unsure of how to move forward. These feelings can be overwhelming and cause us to turn inward. However, this only further compounds the problem.

Many of us have found ourselves stuck in difficult relationship dynamics—whether with family, partner, friend, or at work. Over time, these experiences can chip away at our sense of self. We may start to question who we are, silencing our needs, people-pleasing, or shutting down just to keep the peace. This is especially true if these patterns began in childhood. Left unaddressed, they can lead to feelings of anxiety, low self-worth, chronic stress, or even symptoms of trauma such as PTSD or complex PTSD. Research suggests that a significant number of people will be exposed to narcissistic behaviours at some point in their lives.

You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected or navigating change — whether you’re a young person finding your place, a woman juggling multiple roles, or someone simply needing space to breathe and make sense of things. Many of the people I work with are managing stress, identity shifts, neurodiversity, relationships, emotional wellbeing or that quiet sense that something isn’t quite right. Often, they’re not looking to be “fixed” — they want understanding, clarity and practical ways to feel more like themselves again.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
