For many of us, at some point we look up and realize life has not gone as planned. Whether it's anxiety from relationships, pressure from work, or a disconnect between your values and decisions, we all can feel lost at times. I'm here support you! My role as your therapist is to work alongside you to create a space for you to engage in self-discovery, process life events, unlearn unhelpful beliefs and behaviours, build coping skills, and work towards inner peace that feels eluding. Together we can re-gain a sense of control as no matter what's led you here, I believe in the human capacity to adapt and grow with the right support.

Irvin Yalom said, "It's the relationship that heals:" You bring your life experience and I bring a gentle, authentic and non-judgmental presence based in deep listening; together, we will build a relationship that fosters your healing & growth.
At some point in our lives, we all go through struggles: trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship breakdowns. Then there are today's world events. Eventually, we reach the point where we need to heal and grow - to answer the questions, "What does this all mean? Who am I? What is my purpose? How can I be happy? How can I live in harmony with others and with the planet?"

I am working with individuals (ages 12 and up), couples and families on their needs and goals. Positive connection and care/respect with oneself, within the couple dyad or in the family are important and can be tricky to navigate. I'm here to help people to weather the difficult times and work toward better communication, peace, cohesion, and fulfillment in these essential relationships. I have a keen interest in reconciliation possibilities for parents with estranged adult children.

Once there was a little girl growing up in a family that didn't want her. She didn't feel loved or accepted so she changed herself to try to please them. The message she got was that she didn't matter, and she believed it. Now she's an adult trying to earn love but feels alone, like there's no place she can belong. She matters to God. You were little once; do you know what happened to you? You want to know why life feels so hard; you struggle with anxiety, can't say 'no', have significant stress, and don't feel deeply connected to others even if you are married. You want to feel good in your body and mind; you want to feel free.

As a Christian counsellor, my practice is founded in faith-based values and principles.
One of the anchoring principles that I hold as truth, is that often, people dont care how much you know, until they know how much you care. This is even more important when seeking therapy. It can be a daunting process; but healing, change, and growth begins with the first step. I consider it a privilege to be on the inside of your stories and approach my work with warmth, empathy, and a healthy dose of genuine curiosity. If you find yourself feeling stuck, stressed, burned out, overwhelmed by life, struggling with negative thoughts, caught in unhealthy cycles in your relationships, you don't have to navigate these feelings alone.

H! I'm glad you're here. I'm Whitney, and I'm a Registered Psychologist. I work with adults on a range of concerns. In all my work, I am guided by the following values: honesty, curiosity, and fun. In therapy, this means that I aim to be transparent about what we're doing and why (if you're someone who needs to know the why before you engage in something, I see you); I seek feedback from clients to ensure therapy is meeting their needs and adapt the process when needed. I also take the opportunity to use creativity and humour to enhance therapy.

Christian Counsellors
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work effectively together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience in tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of culture, religion, and other factors on each individual.
Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Christian values?
Each person brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of treatment modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition that strongly influences the way they conduct their everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process. For some clients, a Christian therapist is likely to incorporate faith-based principles into emotional healing techniques.
How do I recognise an effective Christian therapist?
Christian therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Christian beliefs and values. They have an understanding of the importance that Christian principles play in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of struggles that can affect daily functioning. Like all effective therapists, a Christian therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of life.
Why might someone feel comfortable with a Christian therapist?
While training, qualifications, and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic success. An alliance is likely to be strengthened with a therapist who not only is responsive to questions and concerns but also shares a client’s faith and values. Sensitivity to spiritual matters as well as to everyday struggles can provide a welcome sense of safety and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, both of which support the therapeutic process.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Christian therapists?
The directory of Christian therapists includes professionals who have shared their background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Christian clients, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
