When individuals experience life stressors or challenges, it can be very exhausting and their lives may seem to unravel. An important first step in the journey of recovery and self-discovery is talking about it with someone. As a Registered Psychotherapist with CRPO, I provide ethical, compassionate, and culturally sensitive care to the youth and adult population through a client-led practice, including accommodation of, and respect for differences in opinions, values, and attitudes across various cultures in a cooperative, anti-oppressive practice.

I hold a Master's Degree in Social Work from Dalhousie University and a Bachelor of Social Work Degree from the University of Victoria. I am registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. I have over seven years experience providing support to individuals, couples, and families through challenging times. I have experienced a number of challenging situations and events in my own life that have helped to shape me into an empathic and caring professional. I understand that trauma can be experienced in many different ways and am committed to providing a safe, caring, non-judgmental space to support you

I work from a strength based, insight oriented framework which offers my clients the opportunity to rediscover their self, the strengths they have but have lost the sight of or didn’t get the chance to appreciate. I work with people experiencing depression, anxiety, LD/ADHD, ASD, low self-esteem; marginalized groups, racial minorities; individuals with identity struggles; people who want to build healthy self-assertion, resilience and an improved and positive relationship with self. I believe a positive and empathic relationship with self allows us the capacity to build meaningful and healthy relationships with people around us.

My focus is to support children, adolescents, young adults, and parents in their own mental health journey. My clients aim to understand their own moods, address challenges in school/university, learn new ways to handle conflicts, regulate emotions, process traumatic events, make sense of their own journey and attain a stronger sense of self. Parents gain a deeper understanding of themselves and acquire new patterns of communication.

I use a collaborative and integrated approach to therapy grounded in a psychodynamic perspective. I believe in tailoring my approach to meet your unique needs and goals.

Hi, I'm Kim. I have worked with people across the age span, individually and in families, for the past few decades. I am currently working with people who are interested in finding ways to better cope with strong emotions, complex trauma, mood disorders and building stronger connections in their relationships. I have a long history of working with children, teenagers and young adults in particular and am often described as conversational, humorous and creative in my approach. I believe in being transparent, flexible, nonjudgmental and creating safe spaces where people feel heard and connected.

It's not just you, life HAS gotten harder in the last few years. If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.

If you need help recovering from difficult childhood experiences, sexual abuse, or other forms of trauma, contact me to get the help that you or your child need. Together, we will work on building your strengths, gaining insights, and building the coping skills that help you build a better life.

I provide a safe, supportive space for clients to explore thoughts and feelings that create present reality.

There is a wide range of people I work with. Many of them are kind, naturally empathic and are seeking help with boundaries, clarity and reciprocity in their relationships. There is humor, shared stories, moments of deep understanding and connection. Most clients are seeking affirmation that they are 'ok' and that their feelings and experiences are human. We are so much more than what we perceive our problems are. My goal is that you leave the first session with hope, optimism and courage to learn about old patterns and make changes to your life and relationships.

You are confused, angry, frustrated or keep blaming yourself. Your sleep is disturbed or your brain is working non-stop. You feel exhausted and you have difficulty staying focused. You have isolated yourself, find yourself crying frequently, don't feel happy, avoid certain situations, keep getting into arguments, get angry, or end up sabotaging relationships. You are stressed from work or school. You are experiencing conflicts in your relationship. You may have suicidal thoughts. I have vast experience working and supporting people experiencing depression, anxiety, guilt, anger, low self-esteem, grief & bereavement, stress, relationship issues and mental health challenges.

Avoiding? Self-sabotaging? Shutting down? I specialize in depression, anxiety, relationships, stress, anger, transitions, body image, self-esteem and procrastination.

I'd love to help you tap into the strongest, most authentic version of yourself, so that you can live life the way you want to (whatever that may be). I want to help you to be confident and unshaken by distress.
