Therapists in L1V

For your ease, I offer telephone and video counselling in the evenings and weekends. I only have two ultimate goals when serving you, which is that you firstly walk away with insight and clarity on why you are feeling the way that you are, and secondly that you gain concrete, practical skills to manage your challenges effectively. I strongly believe in empowerment through knowledge and skills, and I am here to walk beside you through your journey towards your end goal.

Intense emotions can pull you into a downward spiral of feeling overwhelmed and lost. It is difficult to face life when you are walking around with a heavy chest or feeling anxious. It is likely that you were never taught how to cope with how you feel or understand why a part of you feels empty inside. It can feel uncomfortable to turn to friends and family, fearing how they may react. I offer a compassionate and non-judgmental space, where you can feel heard as you work through difficult emotions. I can provide you with the insight, tools and support you need to bring about healing so that you can approach life in a new way.

Whether it is anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, OCD or another concern, we are here to help. It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help and you should commend yourself for taking this step. Therapy is not an easy process and it takes work. However, that hard work can often lead to great insight and personal growth.

Get accessible and personalized mental health care from the comfort of your home. Accessibility is a focal pillar within my work as I acknowledge the multifaceted nature of queer issues, gender diversity, and sexual identities/orientations. All individuals are unique, and no approach is one size fits all. While my approaches and specializations are different, I dedicate my work to anti-racist, anti-oppressive, and anti-discriminatory practices. I am a client-centered, strengths based and culturally informed professional who values compassion and intersectionality.

I provide psychoeducational/psychological assessments to help you understand why you are struggling academically, behaviourally or emotionally. Assessment results include a variety of outcomes, including the following: Learning Disability, Intellectual Disability, Giftedness or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

I am a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist with a degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Social Work. I specialize in mental health and health, and I have 7 years of clinical experience providing therapy to adults, adolescents, children, couples and families who are faced with anxiety, depression, stress, interpersonal difficulties, trauma, mood dysregulation and much more. I understand the connection between the human mind and behaviours, and complex aspects of social development. There are potential explanations for our unhealthy thoughts and unhelpful behaviours which may be rooted in our social environments.

If you are an adult with ADHD or executive functioning challenges that has left you feeling overwhelmed, frustrated or discouraged, I can help. Through education, fostering awareness, and the creation of meaningful goals, the coaching process I offer can shift you from stuck to successful.

Therapy is one of the best decisions you can make for yourself but it can feel nerve wracking. I want to make therapy comfortable and relaxing for everyone from the beginning. I want to achieve a strong therapeutic relationship by getting to know more about you in your first session. I use a warm, empathetic and non-judgmental approach in meeting where you are today and guiding where you want to go. My goal is to provide a safe space in which you feel comfortable to speak about your concerns, issues and goals. Understanding your core values, needs, wants, and goals will help bring out the best version of YOU!

Hello, and welcome to my profile. I am experienced in helping people process various life events and mental health challenges. I encourage people to take ownership of their healing through education and building mind-body awareness in order to respond to life in a way that is mindfully aligned.

As a multiracial woman, I have Black, South Asian, and European ancestry and I approach the therapeutic process from a culturally sensitive and trauma-informed lens. In my practice, my role is to collaboratively work with you to develop ways to feel connected to your authentic self and support you in navigating challenges, through curiosity, compassion, and empowerment. I believe in cultivating a brave space where we can explore environmental, relational, and emotional factors that may be contributing to distress in your life.

I have immediate availability to see clients that are struggling with various issues which include relationship problems, trauma, addictions, obsessive compulsive disorder, depression, anxiety, and self esteem. My clients generally want to improve their quality of life by having better relationships with themselves and others as well as improving moods.

Everyone goes through difficult times and we all experience it in very different ways. Making the choice to go to counselling to improve your life is the first step on your journey towards recovery, contentment and improving your relationships. Counselling offers support to those who struggle with emotions of anger and sadness, feelings of anxiety and fear, relationship issues, PTSD and addictions. It involves an investment of your time, money and hard work, but can open up a whole new world of healing, balance, motivation and self worth. I provide discounts to first responders, their families and people with financial difficulties.

Have you ever wondered if there is anyone you could call or meet with that has a deep concern about your story, your soul, and your future? A person that for some earthly reason gains your trust and welcomes the journey you are on in the present meet you as you were in the past, and gently comes alongside you without judgment to provide a pathway to a life-giving future.

New parenthood is such a tender time for couples. Whether you are trying to start a family, are a first time parent or a parent now managing more than one young child, you can find yourself depleted, overwhelmed, and experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions along with guilt at how that might be impacting your children. If you are managing a new baby with other young children, you may find that your older children are acting out at a time when you are sleep deprived and struggling to stay patient. Perhaps you and your partner hardly have time to connect and you feel distance or disconnected.

Sometimes all we want is to be heard, to have someone fully present for us. We experience this from family and friends but there is always an underlying judgement or opinion that direct us where we may not want to go. A lot of times talking to a stranger sounds like an intrusive or uncomfortable situation to be in, but I can assure you once you get past the first fearful step, you will learn that it's a form of self care that will stay with you for a lifetime.

I relate well to people in business and the arts: managers, entrepreneurs, professionals, skilled trades, executives, performers, writers, artists. My clients come from a wide variety of ages and gender orientations. They can experience stress, anxiety, anger and deep sadness. Often, clients are referred to me by doctors and other therapists as my skills compliment many other modalities and treatments. Ultimately, I help clients focus on their own inner resources and help them build skills as they resolve their own problems.

I am a Master Level Training Counsellor at New Roots Therapy. I strive to foster a space that is uniquely your own that places importance on exploring who you are, what you are encountering, and where you want to proceed in your next steps. My approach promotes a space that allows you to be your authentic self, where you can evolve into everything you are capable of becoming. While honouring your expertise in your life, I foster a humanistic, person-centered approach and encourage a collaborative process where you feel supported, respected, and understood.

Therapy can be like a sanctuary for your mind and soul and a safe space where you can unburden yourself and find solace in the presence of a compassionate professional. Creating a safe and inclusive space is paramount to me, I strive to foster an environment where individuals from all backgrounds and identities feel respected, valued, and heard. Each person’s story is unique, and I am committed to try my best to tailor my therapeutic approach to meet their specific needs and goals.

You matter. Your voice matters. I always say, each and every single person has a story. This story shapes the way we think, feel, and act. If you want to explore your story and begin the journey of healing, in a safe space, then this might be for you. I invite you to have a free consultation with me to get started.
