Therapists in M6R

I am a family systems therapist who works with youth, parents and couples who have experienced various mental health challenges or are facing stress and anxiety due to relationship conflict. The families I tend to support are often feeling disconnected from one another and stuck in patterns of relating that often intensify their existing challenges. The foundation of my work is in building relationships where clients feel seen, heard and understood, allowing them to draw on their internal strengths. My role as a social worker is to help clients understand themselves and their relationships in a way that supports authentic growth.

Are you looking for a soft landing place for the parts of you that feel painful, messy, pushed aside, and unseen? Have you been holding this distress all alone? Welcome - I have 15 years experience in wellness, mental health and supporting people with navigating our beautiful yet at times devastating world. I invite those managing symptoms of trauma, depression, family conflict, relationship challenges, and grief to reach out to me to find warmth, compassion, humour and a collaborative path towards healing. Arrive just as you are - we will begin where you are at and grow from there.

I see clients with a range of issues including attachment, family conflict, disconnect, trauma, anxiety, addiction and depression. I believe that everyone has a distinct way of expressing their past experiences and challenges in their daily lives, and that it is my job to help people to examine and understand themselves, and to find new ways of being. My approach is open and supportive, and I bring creativity, compassion and a sense of wonder to our work together.

Therapy can be a helpful way to work through those parts of life where we feel alone, held back, powerless, in pain, or silenced. At the centre of my approach to therapy is the belief that there is wisdom in your experience. I will invite you to open into that wisdom to help you better navigate your life. I believe in working with you to develop goals, and approaches to those goals, that fit your life. Through deepening understanding and facilitating emotional processing, my intention is to help you thrive in your life with self-compassion, flexibility, and confidence.

In psychotherapy, I foster a motivation for change and strengthen hope that life can feel meaningful again. In my work with adults, adolescents, and couples I help to develop self-compassion and self-acceptance in the struggle with a wide range of concerns related to: anxiety, depression, stress management, anger management, addiction, self-esteem, grief and loss, relationship and family. I have extensive training and experience working with individuals struggling with the long-term effects of trauma, abuse, and neglect, including the assessment and treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Dissociative Disorders.

Therapy helps resolve life issues & create strategies for positive change. Through a process that promotes self-awareness, healing & growth, you will develop greater capacity for healthy living. Whether struggling with a difficult life decision or event, having conflict in a relationship, needing help managing emotions, mood or stress, we provide care that fits with where you are in your journey & will help you find your way through. Our team of social workers are skilled & experienced in working with children, youth, adults, couples and families. Please visit our website and book and meet & greet.

I offer individual and group therapy to youths (16y/o+) and adults who identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, people of colour). Many of the clients I work with are racialized queer and trans survivors who are experiencing and/or have experienced intimate partner violence, childhood abuse, sexual assault, family abuse, state and workplace violence. Other areas I can support with include impacts of racial trauma, intergenerational trauma, grief, migration, exploration of gender/sexuality, interpersonal relationships and reconnecting with self.

Some of the most difficult and painful moments in our lives have the potential to be the most beautiful and meaningful. It could be that you are struggling with depression, easily overcome by stress and anxiety or experiencing difficulties in your personal/family relationships. What you need is someone to witness and share in the pain, grief and joy of being alive.

My practice offers counselling to young people, adults and specialized separation/parenting services for families. Challenges experienced by clients may include: navigating family change, stress, anxiety, peer/romantic relationships, self-regulation, and managing behaviours (ADHD, OCD, ODD). As a Collaborative Family Professional, I work with parents wanting to minimize conflict for their family as they go through transition and change. I provide emotional support throughout the out-of-court process, help caregivers build skills to co-parent, and neutrally facilitate meetings during the collaborative process.

For the past 15 years I have worked with youth and families who are struggling with a variety of mental health issues or relationship difficulties. Often the clients I support are families who are experiencing conflict, whose members are feeling disconnected or teenagers and young adults who are struggling with intense emotions and engaging in behaviours that are concerning to themselves or their caregivers. I work well with people who are interested in transforming themselves and their relationships rather than those who are focused on symptom reduction alone. In addition, I work with adults who have experienced childhood trauma.

Are you worried about your child? Struggling as a family? Unsure what kind of support might be helpful, or even what's available? We know that parenting can be tough - and when things feel out of balance, chaotic or overwhelming, it can feel unmanageable. We are here to support you and your child in developing the skills, supports and knowledge you need to thrive. We offer a child and teen friendly, engaging and judgement-free approach. We are experienced in supporting many different family constellations, including blended families, single-parent homes and same-sex parents.

I have devoted much of my time to building a fulfilling career working with families, couples, children and adolescents. My approach to therapy is integrative in nature, and brings together both person-centered and cognitive therapies to help clients better understand their strengths, to implement solutions, and to improve the stability and happiness of the person, the family and or couple.

I specialize in assisting adults who are facing challenges with emotional regulation and intense emotions while adapting to new challenges. My primary goal is to help my clients develop a deeper understanding of their emotions and behaviors, fostering self-acceptance and compassion. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where we can openly discuss difficult emotions and explore effective ways to express and manage them. My areas of expertise encompass a wide range of concerns, including anger, depression, relationship and identity issues, as well as self-esteem.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by a difficult situation in your life? You don't feel like your usual self, or may be going through change or loss that has impacted you in unexpected ways. I’m a trauma specialist focusing on depression, anxiety, grief, and relationships to self and others. I will help you change your negative thinking and let go of limiting beliefs about yourself. You'll begin to understand the connections between your thoughts, emotions, and actions, and be supported to live life fully, aligned to your highest values. You may be searching for meaning and purpose or wanting to feel more satisfied in your relationships.

My approach to healing is largely informed by my own experience in individual and group therapy. As a therapist, I show up as my authentic self and believe that creating a safe therapeutic environment is the foundation to building trust and connection. I believe that feeling seen and heard by a person we feel safe with allows us the vulnerability to move towards and process difficult feelings and experiences. My hope is to support you to connect more fully with your thoughts and feelings and explore how your life experiences may be impacting your well-being and preventing you from feeling fully connected to yourself and others.

I welcome clients who are looking for support related to anxiety, ADHD/neurodivergence, depression, grief and loss, LGBTQ+ identity, pregnancy and parenting, relationships (dating, partnership, separation), and other life transitions. I delight in working collaboratively with clients in holistic and trauma-informed ways, incorporating humour and mindfulness. At a foundational level, I take a humble, decolonized, intersectional and otherwise anti-oppressive approach to my work. I value individual identity and collectivism/community and support diverse genders, ethical nonmonogamy, harm reduction and various recovery pathways.

Loss, Grief, Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, Life transitions, Parenting Challenges and Relationship Conflicts impact self-esteem, identity and overall well- being. I support clients to make sense of their journey and to understand how their past experiences can influence their present challenges. I apply a person-centered approach in supporting both individuals and couples. My goal is to support you to learn new ways of coping, gain perspective on your life and develop insights that empower you to take the next steps on your path towards healing.
