"I specialize in grief, loss, and trauma because I find many issues such as substance abuse, anger, stress, and even violence stem from long standing, unresolved grief and loss, and trauma that was never acknowledged or processed. I use a wide variety of approaches depending on the issues and how you wish to resolve them. I also work on issues related to self-esteem and empowerment, so you can help yourself heal. I offer you a guiding hand through these times of pain and confusion. Let's walk together on this journey and perhaps we can find meaning together."

My areas of passion are working with 2SLGBTQIA clients, alternative sexual/romantic relationship identities & dynamics (ex. ethically non-monogamy, polyamory, kink, swinging, BDSM, open relationships, sex work, etc.), sex & intimacy, consent & boundaries, religious trauma, chronic pain/illness, neurodiversity, and life transitions. I draw from both education and lived experience to provide deeper insight into supporting you from an open-minded, trauma-informed, sex-positive, and affirming framework. The journey of healing and growth can be messy, challenging, and heart-breaking while also beautifully majestic and worth every effort.

With a background in trauma counselling, I weave somatic healing and mindfulness techniques into sessions to help clients connect with their whole selves. I am passionate about supporting and sitting with new families. Becoming a parent is so intense and many families go through this transition feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from the world, but I truly believe that we were not meant to do this alone. With compassion and kindness, and a little bit of humour, I aim to move new parents from a place of survival to one of joy and self-acceptance.

Have you been impacted by a traumatic experience or loss? Are you noticing that you are repeating problematic patterns in your life or relationships - and are longing for something different? Or perhaps you've been feeling anxious and/or depressed? I have a passion for helping individuals to address the inner roadblocks that keep them stuck. While life can feel overwhelming at times, it doesn't have to be this way. When we attend to our inner experience with skillful care and compassion, we can become more able to connect with our life force, reclaim our capacity and rise to our potential.

Sometimes life presents us with difficulties that are tough to manage or resolve on our own. A space to express who we are and be accepted. No filter needed - Where you are is where you are and that's OK. Perhaps today is the day that you decide to take that first brave step towards discovering the stronger you. We work collaboratively to discover healing, overcoming, tools and strengths using Solution Focused & Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) methods. My goal is to provide an accepting, laid back, comfortable space where you can unpack, process, learn and discover all that is meant for you moving forward. See You Soon.

The idea of being truly honest with someone about how you’re feeling can feel scary at first - that's normal. It also may be the best decision you make and exactly what you need. There are many reasons to begin counselling and if you're here looking, there's a part of you that knows things need to change. Trust that part and begin your healing. Perhaps you feel trapped by responsibilities and obligations and everything you SHOULD do, or you have suffered a loss, or you or a loved one are managing an illness/injury, or you are experiencing challenges in relationships, or you just feel stuck.

Many children struggle with emotional and behavioural challenges that affect their wellbeing and optimal functioning - for complex reasons. Mental health problems that are caught early can prevent further compounding challenges, support healthy development, and build a strong foundation for lifelong wellbeing. Childhood mental health challenges are often hard for caregivers, too. Caregivers know their children best, yet becoming a caregiver doesn’t come with knowledge and tools specific to mental health challenges.

Search for nearby therapists or counselors by inputting your city, town, or suburb; or postcode; or a provider’s name into the search bar.

To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or postcode into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In Canada, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.

How much does therapy cost?

Some forms of mental health treatment (for example, seeing a psychiatrist, or seeing a psychologist in a government-funded hospital) are free under provincial health plans. Canadians who seek private counseling can typically expect to pay an average of $150 per session, although the actual price generally ranges between $100 and $300 per session, depending on their location and the type of provider they select. Workplace benefits or private insurance plans often provide an annual counselling allowance, and some therapists offer sliding scale fees to clients who cannot pay full price.
