Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in M4T

It is common for people to come to therapy with feelings of discomfort, confusion and to not know exactly where to start. You do not have to navigate this alone. I am here to help and support you in creating a plan. I am proficient in various evidence-based interventions and have experience providing psychotherapy to address life transitions, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, attachment trauma, unwanted emotional and behavioural patterns, postpartum/perinatal mental health, work-related issues, self-esteem, grief, and more.

My aim as a therapist is to provide compassion and presence for you to feel emotionally safe enough to move through growth and change. It can be difficult opening up to someone new. I am experienced in helping my clients process and make sense of their experiences, and offer experiential tools and practices to help them restore calm and regulation. Each and every one of us is unique and there isn’t one approach that fits everyone equally. I therefore work integratively, utilizing aspects of Compassionate Inquiry, Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

We provide compassionate and holistic mental health care for adults, adolescents, and children. Our approach recognizes the whole person, mind and body. We specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, stress, and relationship issues.

I have experience working with, and for, individuals and their families across the lifespan, navigating non-suicidal self-injury and self-harm, personality disorder, emotion regulation difficulties, eating disorders/disorder eating, body image, and trauma. I also work with athletes and performers to address the mental health concerns that exist for these individuals within their larger systems on and off the field/court/stage.

As an Individual, Couple & Family Therapist I am passionate about supporting clients in creating meaningful and sustainable changes in their lives and relationships. The decision to seek therapy and the process of finding the right therapist can be challenging. Without the right fit it can be difficult to open up about your challenges and get the support that you need. I am deeply committed to creating a safe, warm, caring, and respectful therapeutic environment where you can trust that you will be heard, understood, and offered appropriate and effective support.

You may have landed on this page because something isn't feeling right. You may be feeling anxious, depressed, or stuck. Perhaps, you’re struggling with finding your voice, exploring your identity or trying to navigate the intricate terrain of emotions, trauma, and loss. In a world that moves at a relentless pace, understanding who you are is paramount. In therapy, we will look at who you are, what you want, and what you need to thrive.

Welcome! Seeking out support can be a hard first step to make, but it is a sign of listening to your wise inner self. Getting to this step is honourable. Here’s a bit of who I am. I've been practicing for over 22 years, working in the social services field, specifically in community and hospital-based settings. My practice includes Mindfulness, Narrative, Psychodynamic, Trauma Focused, as well as Body Oriented Therapies. I specialize in treating survivors of trauma, as well as individuals experiencing mental health, relationship, parenting, academic stressors, life transitions, and substance use issues.

Throughout life, we necessarily craft intricate methods for moving through the systems that shape our world. But what happens when our beliefs and narratives stop serving us, when they stop suppressing our pain? Feeling at odds with our multifaceted identity markers can be exhausting, and my goal is to help you move towards the parts of yourself that seem dark and untouchable—a process that, over time, softens feelings of guilt and shame.

Finding a therapist can be daunting, however, I’m happy you are taking this vital step for yourself! I have 15+ years of experience with a passion for my work. Specializing in mental health, trauma, relationships and ADHD. I offer a non-judgmental and personable approach, using both guided reflection and practical tools. ​I have my own lived experiences with mental health and ADHD, which has led me to support others on their journey. I provide a comfortable and safe environment working together to identify areas for improvement and give you the tools to make positive changes.

Welcome! You may be here because you are feeling rejected, unimportant and hurt: experiencing your special other as emotionally unavailable. Maybe you feel like you're unworthy, criticized, and unimportant: like you will never be good enough. I collaborate with you to better understand your emotional responses and needs. Leading you to relationship repair, improved intimacy and emotional connection. I specialize in working with individuals and couples who want relief from the negative relational cycles that hinder their joy. I am also deeply committed to those impacted by Fertility & Maternal Mental Health.

The Body wants to feel good and the Mind wants to know. I am a Registered Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor, a Teacher at the Transformational Arts College and on the clinical team for Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy at Dimensions Healing Centre. My therapeutic approach includes working through maladapted experiences of Trauma and Grief including adverse childhood experiences that impact health, relationships, work and social functioning. Optimizing mental health and well-being by building sensory, emotional and cognitive regulation to promote resilience and enable conscious decision-making and healthy behaviour.
