Therapists in K2K

I provide counselling, both in-person and virtually, to youth and adults with various mental health and life challenges. Whether you are experiencing depression, anxiety, school/work stress, relationship difficulties, or you are looking for someone to talk through your current situation, I provide genuine compassion and warmth to support you. Drawing on a variety of approaches, such as solution-focused, cognitive behaviour therapy, mindfulness, strength-based, or acceptance and commitment, we will develop a plan that fits you best.

What is my approach to helping? Just as the body requires nurturing and attention to keep it healthy, the mind also requires maintenance and consideration around how it can be used to create the life circumstances that you desire. I work with individuals and couples that have interest in gaining increased awareness about their ways of being in their lives in order to bring about alternative outcomes. I am a platform for clients to discuss concerns, clarify what would be helpful and strengthen resolve and understanding of personal resources to make a desired change in their lives.

Experiencing anxiety, depression, hardship, grief or trauma, low self-esteem, relationship troubles, or looking to discuss life’s issues? I am here for you. Though you are the expert in your life, struggling with sadness, stress or helplessness can make it hard to know what to do. I am here to listen, support, challenge, and help you find your way. I provide you with a safe, accepting, compassionate environment to process, heal, and grow.

Your life experience is unique. That means that your stresses, problems and issues are individual. No matter how hard you have tried, it might feel like things aren’t getting any better leaving you feeling stuck. I recognize the courage it takes to reach out for help. In working with me, you will feel seen and heard as you embark on the path to healing.

If you are struggling with grief, depression, anxiety or the results of recent or past trauma, having a safe place to talk with a compassionate person can make all the difference in the world. My practice includes a collaborative partnership with Psychotherapy Matters—a virtual platform that connects therapists and their clients to psychiatrists, making the journey toward recovery less stressful.

Therapy is about becoming unstuck, connecting with a deeper sense of what's important to you, what really matters, what you really want deeply for yourself in your life. Letting go of stale, habitual, suffocating stories which restrict you. And opening to new, gentler, friendlier narratives of possibility. guiding purposeful action in support of what you passionately value and really want for yourself. ....NOTE I ask you to please email me first either to go ahead and set up an appointment with me or, if you prefer, to arrange a 10-15 min phone conversation

*Note that I work with individuals aged 4 to 21 and I am only accepting clients for psychoeducational and psychological assessments currently. I have been fortunate to spend the past decade exploring my passion in helping those with learning challenges build strategies for success, and supporting people to address mental health barriers and adversity. My early career focused on researching motivational factors that contribute to learning and interventions, while I later developed a passion for working in applied psychology settings working in clinics, hospitals and the school board.

What makes me different than the other therapists on here? I don't pretend to be the expert on your life because only you know what's best for your wellbeing. I'm here to share my knowledge and help you make lasting change. I work from a feminist lens and am passionate about supporting women to transform the way we relate to food and our bodies, including sexuality and desire. We work towards self-acceptance and body neutrality, rejecting society's standards and finding our own path based on our values and what fulfills us, regardless of others' judgements or expectations.

I am here for you. My virtual clinic is a safe, trauma-informed environment where you can freely explore the areas of your life that need attention. Together, we will use a whole-person approach to understand how all aspects of your life work together and shape your experiences. I have a passion for integrative care and my areas of focus include chronic illness, burnout, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, self-esteem, trauma, existential concerns, and spiritual issues.

Art therapy is a highly effective modality for a wide range of issues and conditions, and is appropriate for people of all ages. Its strength lies in accessing the wellspring of creativity within each person: the uniqueness and potential for transformation found there. The directives are simple to follow, metaphorical, adapted to your needs and habits, and designed to foster insight and inner resourcing. The witnessed creative act is powerfully integrating and healing, and therefore especially effective for such issues as complicated grief and early childhood trauma.

Therapy is not one size fits all. Because the healing process is unique for everyone, I use an integrative and culturally sensitive approach to meet your specific needs and goals. Drawing from different therapeutic models, including humanistic, solution-focused, and CBT, I strive to facilitate personal growth and resilience collaboratively with empathy and compassion.

Since 2003 I have been working with children, adolescents, adults and families who experience a wide variety of psychological and interpersonal difficulties. Special areas of interest include anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and problems related to identity and self-esteem, including issues pertinent to LGBT individuals. I also have expertise in parenting as well as issues specific to children and adolescents, such as anxiety and stress, behavioural problems, the effects of parental conflict and divorce, and school refusal.

I work with both youth and adults experiencing mental health concerns including ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, work/school stress, and topics of gender/sexuality. I am passionate about creating a therapeutic experience tailored to each client through collaboration and an integrative approach that draws on a variety of humanistic modalities.

Warm hello, if you are on this site for yourself or a loved one, it may be helpful to know that people seek my services for help with stress, depression, anxiety, pain, trauma, grief and loss. I value the role of humour and compassion to support personal growth and optimal well-being. I believe that life's difficulties are workable and can teach us a lot if we can lean into the discomfort, interrupting our habitual patterns of avoidance, and to relate to our pain (physical or emotional) consciously and compassionately. It is my intention to support you to maximize your inner and outer resources.
