Therapists in K7H

Whatever you may be struggling with, be it relationships, trauma, mood, or motivation; my goal is to be a safe and knowledgeable person you feel confident can help you make your desired change. Throughout this therapeutic process, I strive to be genuine and supportive so that we can both work towards your goals.

As a client, you are an adult interested in virtual, evidence-based, compassionate counselling for anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder, traumatic memories, PTSD; as well as issues related to sexuality, gender identity, motivation, sexual assault, partner violence, emotion regulation, relationships and personal and job-related stress. You want counselling beyond 'talk therapy' to address symptoms that affect your mood, bodily sensations, actions as well as thoughts. You want the option of addressing present or past problems, with the goal of bringing what you learn into the future.

It’s one thing to recognize you need to talk to someone, it’s another to find the right therapist for you. Choosing the right therapist for you is the number 1 indicator of therapeutic success. I come with 20 years experience as a life/business coach and over 2 years as a practicing Psychotherapist (RP-Q). Clients choose to come to me with all different needs. Some are experiencing feelings of sadness of overwhelm, worry and /or stress. Some feel directionless in what is to come next for them. Together we will uncover strategies and coping skills that will empower you to feel happier and more in control of your life.

When you spend a lot of time worrying, overthinking everything or avoiding activities and situations, it can feel overwhelming and have negative impacts on your life. Anxiety and depression can take many forms but if you worry excessively, are fearful of making mistakes or saying the wrong thing in public, have panic attacks, doubt yourself in everyday situations, have low motivation or are feeling down a lot, therapy can be very helpful for you. If traumatic events in your life have resulted in a cycle of fear, shame intrusive memories, and withdrawal, therapy can lead to healing and recovery. Please reach out

As an RP and RN I have a passion for helping others. The most common mental health challenges I provide psychotherapy for are anxiety, depression, relationship struggles and parenting challenges. I use the Adlerian approach of psychodynamic psychotherapy, a form of talk therapy, to help clients improve their lives by examining their beliefs about themselves. I help clients understand how beliefs formed in childhood influence them as adults. This process empowers us to heal and gain strength from knowing ourselves on a deeper and more authentic level.
