I approach counselling from a lens that is grounded in the continued practice of anti-racism, disability justice,
queer
theory, sex positivity, and that recognizes the systemic violence that has, and continues to, harm us and impact our experiences in the world, and inside ourselves. The main niche of folks that I have had the honour of working with over the years have been
queer
and
trans
folks, sex workers, disabled folks, non-traditional relationship networks, kink and bdsm communities, BIPOC folks, folks navigating complex trauma, and those living at the intersections of many of these identities.

As a
queer
woman I'm passionate about anti-oppressive practice and providing a safe(r) space to welcome everyone.
Your journey is unique, and you deserve therapy tailored to your needs and experiences. You can bring your whole self to our time together - laughter, tears, anger, joy, or grief, and the many layers of yourself. You're here because you want to be seen and heard, for someone to understand how much you've been through and how desperately you want things to change. You already have the strengths and ability, counselling is the boost you need to go further. I often support couples, folks exploring their identity, people navigating stress and anxiety, adults with complex parental relationships, and those nurturing their self-esteem.

I specialize in helping neurodiverse and
LGBTQ
+ teens find their strengths, connect, and thrive.
Being a teenager can be rough. It's difficult trying to find your way in a world full of expectations with a body that is constantly changing. Do you feel tired, misunderstood, confused, or worried? Maybe you’re overwhelmed with all the things you’re thinking, feeling or experiencing. You need to be seen and heard, just as you are, so you can find your unique path and be who you want to be. I am here to support you in getting to a place where you feel clear, connected and comfortable in your own skin. You can have good friends, good relationships, and positive experiences at home and at school.

Congratulations on starting your healing journey! Maybe you feel you are never enough, not accepted, or that overwhelming past experiences will never leave you. Perhaps you’re exhausted from the ever-present guilt and shame you can’t talk about. Difficult feelings can impact all aspects of life and limit your possibilities. As a Korean-Canadian Psychologist with many intersecting identities, I understand these concerns can be amplified for marginalized groups such as BIPOC or
LGBTQ
+. Your needs matter. Your unique experiences deserve to be recognized and honored. I will meet you with care and warmth to help you move toward healing.

I am an
LGBTQ
ally, and deeply respectful of a wide range of personal, cultural, and religious orientations.
OFFERING EVENING AND WEEKEND SESSIONS! I am a registered psychologist who has been working in the helping field for over twenty years. While much of this work has focused on supporting at risk youth and adults experiencing or engaging in intimate partner violence, in recent years I have built a clinical practice that includes counselling adults, teenagers, and families with various combinations of mental health, behavioural, addiction, trauma and relational issues. Along with adults, I especially enjoy working with teens, families, and people who don't like counsellors.
Gregory Eccles
Registered Provisional Psychologist, MA

I've seen many in the world of mental health try to artificially separate mental health concerns into neat boxes, as if clients are going to conveniently fit into a box. I believe this is unrealistic at best, and harmful at worst - people need to be understood in their entirety, and therapy should adapt to the whole of what they present. Clients who are working to overcome the barriers of mental health struggles, while also trying to thrive in relationships, work, school, and other important domains of life.

What’s holding you back? Life is full of ups and downs; maybe you are in the midst of one of these ‘downs’, such as the loss of a relationship. Or, maybe you feel like you are missing out on living your life to the fullest. Sometimes we need help from a non-judgmental, compassionate professional to help us gain new perspectives, and help us re-examine beliefs and patterns that may be getting in our way.

We can begin by discovering what matters most to you. Even in profound loss, or trauma, it is possible to come to a place of growth and change. Meaningful change can emerge in relation to how we feel toward ourselves, our physical being, and in our interactions with others. The journey starts with creative discovery and self-compassion.

CONFIDENTIAL, COMPASSIONATE, SKILLED...My clients are curious, brave and ready to evolve, even if they're not quite sure what that looks like yet. They are looking to access the underlying roots of present day triggers, to live authentically in a world that promotes quick fix solutions and unending busyness. Meaningful growth commands us to slow down, pay attention, inquire within, and be (not do). Individuals that connect with me are ready for something different, something deeper. They are ready to develop a more compassionate relationship to the parts of self that are calling for attention. They are ready to thrive.

I enjoy working with clients that need help with anxiety, mild to moderate depression, emotional abuse, burnout, time management, perfectionism, over-responsibility, sensitivity and relationship concerns. Additionally I specialize in helping adult children deal with unhealthy families and make positive changes. For individuals I use methods proven by research, but also tailor the treatment plan to what you feel will work for you best. For couples, I use Gottman based methods, to yield long lasting results. Too often people cycle back into problems, fearing therapy didn't really help. I work to assist you in healing problems at the root.

Thanks for taking the time to view my profile. Therapy is a collaborative process that uses curiosity, courage and compassion to start exploring and unpacking all of the parts of ourselves and our experiences so that we can become connected to our wholeness once again. There are times when we may feel haunted by our past experiences, are having difficulties coping with life transitions or stressors, or are feeling stuck. It is my belief that through gentle exploration we can start to find the inner resources needed to move through and grow from these difficult experiences.
