Therapists in L1X

Counselling can be a helpful tool when you are feeling overwhelmed due to stress, mental health concerns, histories of trauma, strains in relationships, or present day triggers. The pandemic has impacted many individuals, families, and children in different and significant ways. A focus on our mental health as we navigate the shared traumatic experience continues to be an important part of prioritizing our overall well being. Additional stress can complicate and add layers to an already challenged nervous system. I want to help you learn more about yourself, grow, and find peace.

You are the expert of your own life and I’m here to meet you where you’re at - wherever that may be. I approach therapy as a collaborative, client-centered experience, where we work together to create a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. I believe that building a strong therapeutic relationship is essential to reaching your recovery goals, which is why I focus on creating a safe, trusting environment. I am warm, non-judgmental, easygoing, and my hope is that your therapy experience will provide you with the opportunity to feel supported and heard.

I have over twelve years of experience working with adolescents and adults, who have presented with a variety of issues. These include self-esteem, depression, anxiety, school, work or family issues, crisis assistance and mental health/psychiatric assessments. I have a relaxed and straightforward nature, an approach that puts people at ease, therefore creating a safe and confidential environment. I am senstive to the needs of my clients, as well as having a practical, common-sense feedback style. Cognitive behavioural therapy along with Adlerian therapy are approaches used in my work. My diverse experience has provided me significant experience as a therapist.

Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist: Are you tired of feeling stressed, frustrated, demotivated, afraid and uncertain with how to cope? Therapy can help. Life can be unpredictable and connecting with a therapist will bring a better understanding of your identity while coping in the chaotic world we live. You are the expert of your own life and sometimes it helps to receive an outside perspective to resolve issues that you are struggling with on the surface. My goal is to help with self-awareness, healing, learning to adjust and re-adjust to the changing world around us.

Being vulnerable and opening up to someone new is hard, but you can rest assure that together we will create a strong therapeutic relationship that is built on acceptance, commitment, and trust. Through my own experience living with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) I have a deep understanding of how the fearful thoughts and compulsive behaviors can take over one’s life. Personal transformation is possible when we can commit and are willing to go into the uncomfortable feelings/thoughts. I will provide you with the necessary support and guidance to help you live the life that is based on your values and goals.

I am a Registered Social Worker with over 8years of experience working with diverse individuals, youth and families of all ages and backgrounds. I firmly believe healing and growth can be found through human connection. I also believe in fostering a safe and brave space that welcomes vulnerability, self-compassion and authenticity for all. No one should ever feel alone on their journey to healing, that is why I aspire to provide guidance to you as you acknowledge your strengths and resiliency in achieving your personal goal.

It’s okay if you don't feel so great. In fact, emotional pain shows us that we care about something. Whether you feel anxious, caught in a cycle, or can't seem to understand what you are feeling, we can work together to untangle what is happening for you. I offer a non-judgemental and engaging space. Meeting your needs through a genuine connection is my top priority.

I bring over 34 years of experience helping clients reach their goals and move toward healthier, more satisfying relationships. If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck in a negative pattern, my friendly, encouraging, gentle, but straight forward style can help bring clarity and a fresh perspective. I enjoy helping people 'connect the dots' in their life (make sense of their past), and supporting them as they take new steps toward healing.

I am a compassionate, understanding, non-judgmental counsellor who believes everyone has the right to wellness and balance. I provide insurance-friendly counselling for individuals, couples, families and children. My special area of focus is in helping my clients to free themselves from their painful, traumatic pasts and to achieve personal balance and wellness as they create a fresh start in life. Often, emotional and physical pain is resolved from the inside out as my clients and I interact, and as we work together to arrive at a deeper understanding of their condition and the solutions they seek.
