Therapists in B3H
The focus of my work is supporting people to discover, befriend, and transform old ways of being. Through exploring personal narratives, habitual responses, and the subconscious terrain, we work together to create fresh space and open to new ways of being. Sessions with me involve talk therapy with somatic exercises, Brainspotting, parts work and hypnotherapy woven in as is supportive and appropriate. I am warm and grounded, and keep the session energy flowing through active inquiry and deep listening. Working at a pace that feels safe and supportive for you is key, and so I regularly check in to ensure that this is your experience.

My primary areas of clinical expertise lie in adult mental health, addiction, and couples therapy. I use a combination of cognitive-behavioural, motivational, and mindfulness therapies to create tailored evidence-based treatments (i.e., treatment approaches proven to be effective through research) for a variety of conditions. In addition, I have Level 2 training in the Gottman Method for couples therapy, which is one of the most evidence-based approaches to strengthen relationships. I also provide adult psychodiagnostic, legal, and behavioural assessments.

The best part about what I do is watching parents and children find joy in being together. I love to work with parents who feel disconnected from their children and lost about how to support them. After families have worked with me, I hope they leave with a deeper connection to each other.

Think you might have ADHD or be autistic? Perhaps you saw a video online about it and thought “YES- that’s me!” Let’s talk about how it’s more than just difficulty focusing; it’s also poor time management, lack of organization, forgetfulness, and SO MUCH avoidance. It can look like being really productive for a few hours, and then sitting still for many hours. I specialize in working with people who are diagnosed as neurodivergent later in life and empower my clients to embrace themselves as they are. I also work with parents of neurodivergent children, as I understand that comes with so many specific challenges.

Accepting new clients! Are you living with chronic pain, or other chronic illnesses? Are depression, anxiety, trauma, or other mental health issues unwelcome guests in your life? Do you feel overwhelmed just trying to get through the day? Are you frustrated because, despite treatment and your best efforts, you continue to struggle? Perhaps you are a family member helping to support your loved one. Health issues can be overwhelming, unpredictable, and can take a toll on relationships.

My ideal client is at the bottom of their “to do” list. They are overworked and pushing themselves beyond capacity. They are likely suffering from symptoms of burnout, stress, anxiety and/or depression. These clients often struggle to understand their own needs because they have neglected themselves, and their mental health for far too long.

When you are looking for a therapist, one of the most important things aside from training and approaches used is the personality fit! Over the years as a Psychologist, I have learned that you can be good at working in many areas, but you can only be great at some! For that reason, I decided to gather a team of therapists whom I trust and that have unique skill sets and varying personality styles to choose from.

You may want support dealing with a recent or ongoing traumatic experience, a safe place to discuss your childhood, or help in understanding and changing harmful behaviours. Perhaps, you’re a man and want to discuss male specific issues. I support clients working through difficult emotions, gaining insight into past experiences, implementing coping mechanisms, and rebuilding a sense of safety and self-identity. I’m a Clinical MSW student practicing under professional supervision, and I work with children, teens, and adults.

Welcome! It is important to me that my clients feel safe, supported, and heard at all times. I know from my own experience that starting counselling can be scary, but I am here to meet you with warmth, compassion, and non-judgement. I believe that our past wounds and the hustle bustle of every day life can make a lot of us feel overwhelmed and dis-connected from ourselves. I would love to assist you in coming home to yourself by re-connecting to your inner wisdom and guiding you in creating nurturing habits. It is my hope that you will experience a blossoming sense of self-worth and a growing capacity to navigate life’s challenges.

Do you do things you would rather not do or avoid things you should do? Are you frustrated because you put others ahead of you and avoid conflict at all costs, or are you angry and having trouble keeping it in check? Are you feeling alone or misunderstood? If any of the above apply to you, I can help. My process is to listen. And by coming to understand you, help you face the challenges that are preventing you from living life on your terms. Sometimes, it's even about helping you decide what those terms are.

My work as a therapist is grounded by my belief in the inherent dignity of all people, the wisdom of our bodies, and our innate capacity to heal. I often work with people who might want to believe these things, too, but struggle to find hope after experiences of trauma or distress. I believe that therapy can help us learn to move through the world with more ease, presence, and compassion (for self and others). As a queer and non-binary therapist, I have a special place in my heart for queer and trans clients. I aim to offer a counselling experience that is safe and that does not require you to justify or explain your identity.

Im enjoy supporting people managing difficult situations. If you are coping with depression, anxiety or any form of stress I am here to help you find some relief from the pain.

The power of African knowledge and my lived experience can aid your recovery. You have the answers and I will help you uncover them.

Life can present us with significant challenges, particularly when we become entrenched in negative patterns.
