Hello! We are a team of Registered Psychotherapists servicing clients in Ontario and beyond. As Holistic Psychotherapists, we assist our clients in restoring health in mind, body, emotion, relationship, and spirit. We work with adults, youth, parents, couples, and families. Our areas of expertise include: Trauma and Abuse, Childhood and Developmental Trauma Recovery, Depression, Anxiety, Self-development and Spirituality, Psychedelic Preparation and Integration, Eating Disorders, Perinatal Mental Health (e.g. postpartum depression/anxiety, birth trauma, infertility), AD(H)D, and parenting young and older/adult children.

I am an Indigenous social worker. My social work practice focuses on Indigenous healing methods together with non-Indigenous practices. I incorporate the Traditional Native Code of Ethics into my practice. I recognize that there is no one-size fits all approach to supporting clients and I support my clients in finding strength-based skills, interventions and solutions that will support achieving their goals. I am registered with Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) and I can provide the direct billing option.

Understanding that each client brings their own unique story, struggles, and aspirations, I aim to meet you where you are. Your journey may involve navigating the complexities of family dynamics, coping with the physical and emotional changes brought on by perimenopause and menopause, grappling with the impacts of trauma, facing the challenges of addiction, or untangling the intricacies of relationship issues. These situations can often lead to feelings of isolation, overwhelm, and a yearning for a path towards healing and understanding.

I appreciate that the hardest part of this journey is finding “your person.” Someone that you can trust will show up and be there for you . A person that makes you feel safe, heard, and accepted unconditionally. No matter what you are going through. To make starting as comfortable as possible, I provide a non-judgmental space for you to come in and be as open (and authentic) as you need to be. Completely free to express and uncover all your unconscious thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Allowing you to move past the deep layers of your trauma, fear, and pain. To a place where you can explore the deepest parts of who you truly are.

Everyone - regardless of age, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or social standing - deserves competent, kind, and compassionate care. As Covid recedes, the life challenges facing younger, middle-aged and older adults, including transitions, relationships, loneliness, body image, sexuality issues, and concerns around meaning and purpose, to name a few, remain. I have significant life and career experience as a teacher and Guidance Counsellor working with adolescents, and as an administrator and coach working with adults and teams. I am eager to meet you wherever you are along your life journey.

At different points in our lives, we may be faced with trials and tribulations that can be difficult, leave us uneasy, unhappy, anxious, depressed, or unsatisfied. As a developing psychotherapist, I aim to use my growing knowledge to aid those in the community combat these trying times. So, congratulations on taking the first step towards change. I work with individuals, families, teens (12+), and athletes dealing with trauma, reduction of stress, anxiety and accomplishing various life goals. I help clients reach a state of happiness, balance, and better health through a healthy therapeutic relationship and an integrative approach.

Accepting new clients! In person appointments Thursday and Friday mornings. Talk therapy can help you learn new ways to understand your feelings. EMDR can help you re-process traumatic memories so they aren’t disturbing anymore. From relationships to anxiety, life’s challenges can leave you feeling unsure of your next steps. With over 16 years of experience, I can help you regain your confidence, re-establish connections with yourself and others, and rebuild your sense of safety.

Relationships can be challenging, whether with family, friends, or co-workers. The same conflicts seem to keep repeating themselves with no sense of relief or resolution. I specialize in working with relationships - with family, friends, coworkers, spouses/ partners, dating. I treat individuals looking to understand/ heal themselves in relation to self and others, and couples seeking solutions and communication skills. Imagine a life where you look forward to uplifting conversations and time spent with loved ones, rather than rehashing the same old arguments and misunderstandings day after day.

Are you struggling with your relationships? Struggling with your self-esteem and confidence? Or are struggling to understand your emotions and reactions? If so, then welcome. I believe that we all have some wounds from our past, and that these experiences can impact how we view ourselves and how we show up in our relationships/life. Although we cannot change our past, I believe that making connections from the past to our present allows us to heal. Healing occurs in the present when we free ourselves from past strategies of protection and relate to ourselves in a more connected and lively way.

I am here to offer compassionate support, both in-person and online, for individuals seeking assistance. As a BIPOC professional specializing in trauma, anxiety, depression, addictions, stress management, and life transitions, I bring a wealth of experience and understanding to my work. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, drawing from positive psychology, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Attachment Theory to provide guidance and support on your therapeutic journey.

CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. I specialize in working with clients who have experienced trauma or grief but also work with individuals with anxiety, depression, stress and life transitions. I am an experienced practitioner and work with a variety of demographics and age groups. I look forward to connecting with you.

As a psychotherapist my role is to provide both individuals and couples with an encouraging and supportive space. My approach is founded on the knowledge that transformational change can only come from within. Every client that walks through my door has insight into their own healing process, it is just clouded by the challenges they are facing. My role is to cultivate and strengthen one’s capacity to access intrinsic needs, beliefs, and identity while acknowledging the courage and resiliency in making the choice to do so. I aim to promote a more balanced way of relating to oneself and others during times of hardship.

I am a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW), Registration No: 845753. My approach to counselling is client-cantered, strength-based, trauma informed with sensitivity to diverse human experiences and cultural differences.

Welcome! As your therapist, I am committed to supporting you in understanding your needs to make positive changes in your life through identifying space for growth and healing, insight, practical tools and empowering you to reconnect with your strengths. Together, we will achieve this by creating a path aligned with your values and principles. I am a trauma-informed practitioner and therefore resonate with modalities crucial for processing, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Internal Family systems, & Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (incorporating polyvagal theory & mindfulness).

Currently accepting new clients! Individuals, couples and families – I thrive to create a safe space for exploring growth as well as healing within the self and with loved ones. I am humbled and strive to work collaboratively with my clients to journey towards healing and resiliency. I advocate to create a space where my clients can feel safe to explore their arrays of emotions and feel empowered to be their authentic self. I am also passionate about people’s diversity and differences where the uniqueness of individuals is explored and respected. This allows me to tailor my therapeutic approach accordingly.

As a psychotherapist specializing in Perinatal Mental Health, I am particularly passionate about supporting women through the emotional, spiritual, and physical journeys of pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition to motherhood. I also work with clients who are grieving a loss that occurred through miscarriage or stillbirth, are struggling with infertility, or who experienced a traumatic birthing experience. In addition, I work with parents who are in the process of adoption or who have adopted a child, as well as individuals who themselves are adopted.

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.

Working as a Canadian Certified Addiction Counselor, especially when working with indigenous communities, is like navigating a winding river, full of twists and turns. It can be both challenging and rewarding. In my role, I had the privilege of working closely with indigenous communities to promote positive change and progress. I take immense pride in my counseling experience, where I dedicated myself to providing tailored, high-quality counseling services within a culturally sensitive, nurturing, and nonjudgmental framework. I have experience treating a variety of issues by offering counseling services using motivation
