Hello! I am currently taking new clients and can offer short wait times. I work with adults who are seeking help with life changes, relationship challenges, parenting challenges, mental health issues (in themselves or in their partners), or anything that is preventing them from being their best self. Ideally my clients would be interested in getting to the root of their issues, and be committed to several sessions. I know we are all "enough", and that the answers we seek lie within ourselves. Sometimes a counsellor can help you find those answers, and I'd be honored to try.

My ideal client is a neurodivergent individual (or any individual) navigating the exhaustion of masking, unmet needs, and the weight of being misunderstood. They often experience anxiety, burnout, or disconnection from themselves and others. They may struggle with unhelpful thought patterns, emotional regulation, and relationships impacted by societal pressures. They want clarity, self-acceptance, and tools to meet their needs without shame. Ultimately, they seek to create meaning, live authentically, and reclaim their agency.

You’re doing your best to hold things together—for your kids, your partner, your family—but lately, it feels like that weight is getting heavier. Maybe you’re struggling to understand your child’s behaviour. Maybe your co-parenting relationship is tense or strained. Maybe you're grieving the time you’ve lost with a child you love deeply. If any of this sounds familiar, I want you to know: there is hope, and you don’t have to figure it out alone.

What if you could improve the quality of your life and your relationships by changing the way you think, feel and behave? I work with adults who struggle with anxiety, self esteem, stress, and anger issues, to do just that.

What type of therapy is best for narcissistic personality disorder?
Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is best treated with talk therapy, which could involve cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, schema therapy, gestalt therapy, or similar approaches. A therapist will help a patient uncover the feelings that may drive their behavior and discover how to engage with themselves and those around them with greater empathy and understanding, fewer demands, and less defensiveness, with the goal of developing a more authentic sense of self that enables healthier relationships.
How do therapists treat NPD?
By developing a strong therapeutic relationship, and continually focusing patients on relationships, community, and connection, a therapist, through talk therapy, may be able to help someone with NPD change. In sessions, a therapist will help an individual achieve relief from their current stressors, including the treatment of co-occurring conditions such as anxiety or depression. A therapist may also help an individual to recognize unhealthy coping mechanisms, learn new ways of interacting with others, and eventually become able to feel and display empathy.
Can a narcissist be cured with therapy?
Therapy can be effective. After a serious setback or great loss, someone with NPD may be forced to recognize that they are not immune to life’s challenges. That can spur feelings of melancholy and depression that lead them to seek professional help. Once an individual decides to seek help, they have already taken a step that the majority of those with NPD never will. Still, people with NPD often quit therapy as they naturally resist feeling vulnerable, being challenged, or admitting to flaws.
How can you get narcissistic personality disorder treatment for someone?
It is notoriously difficult to convince someone with NPD to seek help. With their feelings of superiority, they may be unlikely to recognize or acknowledge that they have a problem, or that their problem is narcissism. Sometimes, they are aware that they are arrogant and that others resent them but they don’t see it as a problem because they are convinced of their superiority. People with NPD have trouble maintaining relationships, but family members and others who do feel close to them, and whose presence they value, may be able to encourage them to seek therapy.
