Interpersonal Therapists in T2H

I approach therapy with the belief that human beings are the experts in their own lives and that people can show remarkable resilience in the face of adversity when provided the necessary support and connection.

I provide individual counselling in various areas including but not limited to: anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, body image, self-esteem, self-care, stress, and communication.

Many of us have lost touch, abandoned, forgotten, or detached from the things that make us unique, bring us joy, and motivate us to build the life that we want to live. This sense of loss can produce many side effects such as anxiety, addiction, and depression. It can also cause us to attract relationships or people in our lives that are out of alignment with our soul's essence causing conflict, confusion, and chaos. If you are feeling lost, alone, confused, anxious, or rejected by others and or yourself - these can be clues that you have lost connection with important parts of yourself.

Being human is complex & at times, confusing. I am here to help you see beyond your challenges, understand your mind, learn to tackle the tough stuff, & meet your own needs while staying aligned with your values. Whether you struggle with your relationships, perfectionism, people-pleasing, poor boundaries, or self-criticism, together, we'll identify the patterns that hold you back & develop the mindset needed to feel stronger & more compassionate towards yourself & others. Your greatest relationship is the one with yourself, & you deserve for it to be a good one.

With almost 30 years of clinical experience, I approach each and every client with curiosity, warmth, empathy and respect I have an honest passion for people and can’t see myself doing any other thing other than helping others live meaningful lives I’m very sensitive to the fact that everyone is unique and it is of utmost Importance to tailor my work to each and everyone’s specific needs

With several different therapies and techniques in my toolbox, and a comfortable, secure office environment, my goal is to tailor my approach to your needs. My therapy style most often has a staged approach (a beginning, middle and an end). I rely on your feedback and measure our progress, to make sure there’s improvement and we're making the most of your time. I ensure clients leave my office feeling better and more resourced than when they first arrived. I work well with clients who are experiencing burnout, increased stress and anxiety responses, depressive symptoms, grief and loss, trauma, work challenges and life change.

Congratulations on taking charge of your life! You are one step closer to getting the help and support that you seek. Asking for help requires courage, and vulnerability, and acknowledging that we all have limitations in our abilities and capacity to handle stress. Asking for help doesn't mean there is something wrong with you, or that you are "broken." Rather it may be that you don't know what to do, or need someone to help guide you through the process. Therapy is meant to be a safe place for you to explore your thoughts, fears, worries and hopes for the future in seeking meaningful chaange without judgement or expectations.

I strive to provide clients with the technical tools to help achieve their goals. I know that each individual comes with their unique experiences and, as such, different people will require different things from therapy. Therefore, I utilize a combination of modalities to address varying life concerns including depression and anxiety. I believe in a person-centred, nonjudgmental approach to counselling where no struggle is seen as insignificant. Accordingly, I strive to have open and honest communication about my clients’ needs to ensure that I am providing them with the best possible support in their journey towards healing.

We live amidst great challenges & complexity. More and more people are reaching out for the first time. A QUIET space awaits you. I'm told I have a FIERCE spirit & a GENTLE presence. I am both direct & compassionate. I believe in the inherent values & rights of ALL regardless of who you are; and where you've travelled. YOU are the EXPERT in your LIFE! I bring 25+ years of experience specializing in mental health, neuro-diversity, concussion, trauma, life transitions, professional and family stressors, relationships & more. Together we can navigate a clearer and more sustainable path to joy, meaning, purpose, and significant change.

I am a registered social worker with a passion for mental health and wellness. In my practice I work effectively with children, adolescents, adults and families. My journey as a therapist evolved in community, crisis and mental health settings and I have a specialized interest in the areas of anxiety, depression, disruptive behaviours, parent-child relationships, life-transitions, trauma, stress management and gender-affirming care. I have obtained diverse training and experience and use evidence-based treatment, to support individuals in managing life's challenges.

When people ask me about my "model of therapy," I usually say that I focus on two things: Brains and Relationships :) This method is founded on my belief that brains develop and create unique patterns of behaviour, and relationships influence functioning. I want to understand what may be happening in someone's brain when they are experiencing adverse symptoms. More specifically, what unhealthy patterns in the brain are causing this distress - then within the therapeutic relationship - work to shift this pattern, restructure the brain, and create healthier coping mechanisms.

Accepting New Clients - I am experienced in relationships, as well as Child & Adolescent Mental Health. I worked for 20+ years with AHS. I am well-versed in assessment & therapy with children & teens who present with mental health concerns, so their families can live healthier, more productive & more fulfilling lives. Or, are you looking for someone who specializes in relationships - your partner, your children, your family? When you stop expecting people to be perfect, you can like them for who they are. I greatly enjoy supporting couples, families, parents, and children alike, who present with much strength, although in distress.

I believe we all have the capacity to heal and learn how to live a life worth living, despite challenging and painful experiences in our lives. I believe the coping strategies we develop can start creating problems if we don’t address the underlying cause. Therapy is a safe space to explore, identify, address and resolve these issues, often creating transformational growth. With over 30 years’ experience working with, and treating clients with a variety of mental health, addictions and trauma related issues, I have delivered therapy through individual and group work, and I am passionate about both approaches.

I think it's great that you're taking steps to create the life you want! I am a PhD trained clinical psychologist with expertise in treating depression, anxiety, illness and chronic pain, insomnia, trauma, ADHD, relationship issues, grief/loss/transitions, behaviour change, self-esteem, assertiveness, and emotion regulation.

Please note that I am currently away on maternity leave and therefore I may not answer your requests. I provide counselling to adults and couples with concerns such as as anxiety, trauma, ADHD, relationship issues, life transitions, and performance issues. I especially love to include spiritual aspects to therapy if that is meaningful to you. As a therapist I want to empower my clients to find their inner strength, as I believe that we all have an innate ability and desire to heal.
