As a Registered Clinical Counsellor/Psychotherapist with 25 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families, I use a client-centred, integrative approach to address the therapeutic goals of clients. No one should be defined by their diagnoses, and rather than placing emphasis on what is not working, I collaborate with clients to determine what actions can be taken to improve on their circumstances. All individuals exist along their own continuum of mental health, and with adequate supports and a focus on holistic well-being, every client can be nurtured towards growth and a healthier sense of self.

My clients and I have addressed their depression, anxiety, emotional struggles, and trouble getting along with others. I greatly enjoy working with adults of all ages and life stages.

Yes, you can learn better ways to cope with life’s struggles, and yes, it’s possible to overcome trauma. Personally, I know what it's like to feel stuck, overwhelmed, and burnt out, wanting support but not knowing where to start or who to turn to. Anxiety, depression, addiction, chronic illness, PTSD, are all rooted in trauma. They're clear signs that it’s time for you to make changes but it’s hard to do it on your own, especially if you're neurodivergent. If you’re tired of trying to figure it out yourself then let me help you. Let's work together to help you develop healthier coping, process your trauma, and finally feel better.

Reaching out for therapy often starts with a quiet realization: something isn’t sitting right anymore. Maybe you’re carrying anxiety that won’t ease, stress that feels constant, trauma that still lingers, or patterns around mood, relationships, or substance use that feel hard to shift on your own. You might be used to managing it all yourself, but part of you knows you don’t have to. I aim to show up with steadiness, empathy, and genuine curiosity about your inner world. I strive to be fully present, to listen without judgment, and to create a space where you feel safe enough to be honest and vulnerable.

Welcome. I'm Sasha - a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with a Master's Degree in Counselling Psychology. I know that it can be overwhelming, even paralyzing, to just be with yourself in your own head. This is why I am called to provide talk therapy.
I strongly believe that we are not stuck or feeling unwell due to "personal failing"; rather, I believe that our challenges come from learned and at one time protective strategies/beliefs - stemming from trauma, our upbringing, or significant life events - which may need updating.

You're not "too much", "too emotional", or "too sensitive" - you're misunderstood. As a neurodivergent and queer therapist, I bring both professional training and lived experience. I often work with clients who want to feel more in control of their lives and emotions, process their experiences, explore their identity, and work toward their future. Together, we'll work to understand the past, navigate the present, and create a more aligned future.

I work with individuals, couples, and relationships of all configurations as they explore identity, intimacy, sexuality, connection, and the evolving realities of being human.
I hold a passion for supporting queer and neurodivergent clients, those navigating alternative relationship structures, and people reconnecting with themselves after burnout, compassion fatigue, or the emotional demands of caring professions, particularly within education and community care settings.

Do you feel like your mind is always racing, your emotions hit harder than other people’s, and no matter how much you try, life still feels overwhelming?
Many of the adults I work with are living with ADHD, intense emotional ups and downs, or long-standing relationship patterns shaped by attachment wounds. On the outside, you may appear capable, but internally, you might feel exhausted, reactive, misunderstood, or stuck in cycles of self-doubt and shame. You are not too much — you’ve been carrying too much without the right support.
