Life is complex, and emotional pain is unavoidable. As your therapist, I am here to support you in navigating these complexities. While occasional feelings of sadness or anxiety, and occasional conflicts, are normal, overwhelming or persistent emotional pain may signal deeper issues. Depression, anxiety, PTSD, anger management issues, ongoing relationship problems, and persistent loneliness can indicate that we might need to do more inner work to heal. Psychotherapy helps us uncover the underlying causes of our problems, offering insights into why we experience difficulties and providing guidance on resolving them effectively

It can be hard to carry everything alone— especially when decision-making feels impossible, relationships feel strained, or it's hard to feel like yourself. It's ok to not have all the answers. I wholeheartedly believe that one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story.
Sometimes we all need someone who listens with care, holds space for our story, and helps untangle what’s been building up. It’s not about fixing you - it’s about gaining clarity, rediscovering your strengths, and reconnecting with the part of you that knows how to move forward.

Testing and Evaluation Counsellors
What is a psychological evaluation?
A psychological evaluation is a test or assessment most commonly administered by a trained psychologist that is intended to be used in the diagnosis of specific psychological conditions, such as ADHD, mood disorders, personality disorders, dementia or Alzheimer's, and learning disabilities. Psychological evaluations can help inform future treatment decisions and help direct clients to professionals and resources that may be most helpful, such as potential therapy options or additional school supports.
Can psychological evaluations be done on individuals of any age group?
Psychological evaluations are conducted on individuals of all ages and can be beneficial to individuals across the lifespan. However, specific types of evaluations may be most frequently conducted on individuals of certain age groups. For instance, ADHD or learning disability testing is often conducted in children ages 4-12--the period of time when ADHD symptoms most commonly emerge. In contrast, cognitive functioning assessments, such as those conducted to diagnose dementia, are most commonly conducted in elderly individuals. Clients should ensure that the psychologist they are seeing has specific expertise in conducting evaluations in their age group to ensure they receive a correct diagnosis.
How long does a psychological evaluation take?
Psychological evaluations vary in length depending on the test being administered and the goals of the evaluation; however, most evaluations are 2-4 hours in length. Some evaluations may take as long as 8 hours but can often be spread across multiple days. In some cases, clients will also attend an intake session or interview, which can help the psychologist assess client functioning outside of the testing environment.
How should I prepare for a psychological test and evaluation?
Individuals do not need to prepare for psychological tests or evaluations in most cases, as they are intended to measure a client's baseline psychological status without test-specific preparation. However, clients may want to brainstorm a list of questions for their psychologist about any tests they are receiving prior to the assessment, including what potential outcomes may mean for what next steps the client should take.
