Most clients come to me because traditional therapy has only scratched the surface of what’s going on. They’ve read the books, tried the tools, practiced the nervous-system techniques—yet the same patterns keep repeating. That’s because much of what drives behavior, relationships, and even “symptoms” is unconscious. It doesn’t respond to generic protocols; it requires someone who can work analytically and experientially with the deeper forces shaping identity, coping strategies, relational templates, and the parts of the self that have gone underground.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed, insecure, angry, or overwhelmed? Are you struggling to feel balanced, to manage your stress and build healthier relationships? Are you lost or stuck on the road to what you know deep down is your true self and best life? Imagine how far you could go and how easy it would be if you turned your steps into strides. As a registered social worker with over 15 years of counselling experience, it begins by you pushing aside the stigmas of mental health, reaching out for support, and confronting your fears. I am here to guide you along that path that most of us find confusing and overwhelming.

As a neurodivergent mom with two kiddos, I understand the many challenges of navigating a neurotypical world. People with ADHD, Autism, and/or Learning Disabilities can struggle with balancing the demands of work, school, relationships, parenting, our own wellbeing, or even just everyday tasks. Our nervous systems often become used to chronic states of overwhelm, which can lead us to engage in old patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that keep us feeling stuck. My goal as a therapist is to empower you to understand how your neurodivergent brain works so that you can access your truest potential.

Unfortunately, while some strategies like alcohol use, overeating, cutting and sex, may feel good in the moment, they really don’t help us solve life’s problems.
My role is to help you understand these reactions with compassion rather than judgment, and to guide you in slowly rebuilding trust in yourself—with steadiness, care, and someone who truly understands the chaos beneath the surface. I use an integrative approach tailored to meet individuals' needs, as there is no "one size fits all" in therapy.

Is the weight of past experiences holding you back?
Strong emotions, overwhelming memories, and chronic stress can quietly shape daily life, even when you’re doing your best to move forward. Unresolved trauma often shows up as anxiety, depression, addiction (whether substance or behavioral), and other painful challenges that can leave you feeling stuck.
Whether you're new to therapy or seeking a fresh approach, I offer a supportive space for healing and growth. I have extensive experience working with RCMP members, veterans, and others whose lives have been shaped by high-stress or traumatic environments.

Accepting new clients. Are you feeling “off”, not quite like yourself and can’t pinpoint why? This may show up as depression, anxiousness, anger, dissociation, low self-esteem or grief. I hold a space to go deeper to understand yourself, mend trauma, and get back to your functional authentic self. As relational beings, our daily interactions shape us in profound and complex ways. I acknowledge the nuances of each person’s lived experience and offer inclusive support for members of the BIPOC and LGBTQ2S+ communities.

Accepting new male clients. Do you feel disconnected from yourself, your relationship/friendships in life? Are you struggling under what feels like a mountain of burdens you've been carrying? I help men reconnect the relationship they have with themselves and start to build a healthier and more connected life. Do you feel you've had to bury your emotions in order to get through life? Have you experienced situations in your lifetime that has caused you to create survival strategies that are causing you or others harm now? I get it. It feels exhausting to keep it all in to hold it together.

I've been practicing since 1995 & I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor & Marriage & Family Therapist. However, I am now only accepting individual clients 18+.

You may also find that unresolved grief or past trauma keeps seeping into your daily life & especially when you least want or expect it.

Hello, my name is Elisabeth and I am passionate about working with children, youth, young adults, and those wanting to connect with their younger selves or support young people.

Being authentic means that you can live according to what you care about and do what you are good at. It involves knowing yourself, recognizing pressures to be a certain way (from inside and outside), and acting in a way that is consistent with your values.
When you can't be authentic it can lead to feeling anxious, depressed, angry, or avoidant. This can result from messaging and roles put on you growing up, from a traumatic experience, being in relationships where you feel pulled to be a certain way, not being validated, or not having had the opportunity to figure out who you are.
