From relationships to anxiety, life’s challenges and changes can leave you feeling unsure of the path you’re on. Maybe you’re having relationship issues, adjusting to life as an empty-nester or you’ve uncovered news about your family history that has you questioning who you really are. These changes can leave you feeling anxious, sad and confused. With over 18 years of experience, I offer counselling that can provide you with a different perspective and new tools for managing life’s challenges. In a relaxed and open-minded setting, we’ll work together to identify how you want to feel in your life-and find your brighter path forward.

I have a lifelong passion for advocating for the personal wellbeing and for the support of others on their personal journey through the peaks and valleys of life. I am passionate about helping people who are struggling in their everyday lives to recover and regain their mental health. I transitioned to the mental health sector after working in the corporate world in many different settings which gave me an extensive life experience. I’ve pastored for over 20 years, and in that role have provided therapy to help clients work through personal conflicts, spiritual issues and marriage and family problems.

**NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS IN PERSON AND REMOTELY** I pride myself in offering clients an approach that is dedicated to understanding their goals through a collaborative counselling experience. I create a safe and calm space to facilitate a strong therapeutic connection with clients. With gentle curiosity and openness, I invite clients to tell me about their world and experience, so I can learn from them. I believe that healing is possible for everyone and it is my joy to help a client unlock their full potential for happiness and health. It’s not about merely helping clients to survive the day to day but helping clients to thrive!

Welcome! I am a queer and gender queer person who is committed to personal growth & continuous learning both in my professional & personal life. I aim to bring an intersectional, anti-oppressive, & harm reduction lens to my practice. This includes an understanding of how systemic power & privilege impact our lives, our experiences, how we see the world & how the world sees us. I want to work with you to address your needs & concerns so that you are able to create goals, achieve personal growth & work towards mental wellness. I love discovering & exploring identity, working with anxiety, depression, work stress, & family issues.

I have over 10 years of experience working with people struggling with a broad range of issues, including anxiety, feeling low or depressed, trauma, relationship problems, family concerns, or parenting challenges. I will provide you with a comfortable and safe space to share your concerns and I would happily stand with you to reach your goals.

Families created through adoption, fostering and donor-assisted reproduction and blended families have unique histories and experiences which differ from families created through birth alone. All have experienced losses and the trauma of broken birth bonds. These experiences can provoke conscious or unconscious feelings such as grief, anger and shame which have significant impacts on self-value, behaviours, relationships and intimacy. If you are a part of such a family, accessing & understanding your experience & grieving your losses, are necessary before personal change and deeper interpersonal connections can be made.

My work with clients is a priority in my daily life, and I have many years of experience in couples, family, and child (from birth to 17), Therapy. I truly believe that if we can help children and youth address their challenges early, we will build for their future success and well-being. If you are parents, a couple, or an individual and are not sure how to address a challenge you are facing, please feel free to contact me. My work is based on an anti-oppressive, strength-based, and trauma-informed framework. The focus of my practice includes attachment models, childhood trauma, relationship , anxiety, and behaviour management.

Attempting to avoid painful or distressing thoughts and feelings is natural - we all do it. However, the more we struggle with and try to control our emotional experiences, the more challenges it creates. As a Registered Social Worker with the OCSWSSW, I utilize a client-centered approach and draw mainly on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide my work with clients. Noticing and naming our feelings is the first step to gaining more control over our bodies and learning to live a meaningful life that aligns with our values and goals.

Hi, I’m Éva. My approach to therapy is relational, systemic, and strength-based. I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and am informed by Family Systems Theory. I hold an empathic and non-judgmental stance. I work collaboratively and relationally, recognizing that you are the expert of your unique story. I believe our relationships with ourselves, partners, family, and friends can often be the source of our greatest joys and deepest pains and frustrations – I’ve been there. Through my own growth journey, I've learned that our families, environments, and societal contexts have a real impact on us.
