Therapists in L2E
You’re smart, self-aware, and you’ve done your best but you are still feeling stuck. Maybe it’s anxious thoughts, panic attacks, or a trauma that won’t let go. Maybe you’re tired of repeating the same patterns in your relationships, or you’ve tried talk therapy before and didn’t get the results you hoped for. You want therapy that works, and therapy that’s effective, efficient, and grounded in neuroscience. You’re ready for real relief, and lasting change. That’s what my team and I offer.

My ideal clients are people who want therapy to feel safe, real, affirming, and comfortable. Maybe you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotional, disconnected, stuck in survival mode, or unsure where to begin. Maybe you have been through trauma, violence, family conflict, relationship stress, identity-related stress, chronic illnesses, grief, or life changes that have left you feeling exhausted or alone. I welcome 2SLGBTQ+ and gender-diverse clients, relationship-diverse clients, and people with many different identities, experiences, and mental health concerns.

As a clinical forensic psychologist, I focus on risk assessment of individuals with sexual offences, who are before the court, or involved with child protection. I provide comprehensive forensic assessments to assist the courts or child protection in making determinations about sentencing or access to children. Risk assessments can also determine the presence of a sexual/paraphilic disorder, that may require additional treatment or intervention.

With 20 years in the field and a former columnist with Metroland News and Newmarket Today, I work with adults, couples and families, supporting their mental health. Difficult experiences both past and present can anchor us, keeping us trapped in a space of anxiety, depression, anger and hurt. These emotions can be exhausting and overwhelming. As a therapist, I envision my role as the support to guide you toward making a shift in healing. We do not need to stay in our past, in our traumas and in our pain. We can move forward and thrive; we deserve to do so.

Are you struggling to feel connected to yourself or others? I work with adults and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, identity concerns, and low self-esteem. Whether you're navigating the end of a relationship, struggling with recurring conflict, facing a major life transition, or feeling emotionally overwhelmed, you don't have to face it alone. Therapy can help you make sense of what you're experiencing, understand the patterns that keep you feeling stuck, and develop the confidence and practical skills to move forward.

Are you feeling stuck in painful relationship patterns? Have your actions in a relationship led to harm—or even domestic violence charges—and you don’t want to keep going down this path? Or are you trying to heal from abuse and make sense of what you’ve been through? I work with people on both sides of relationship harm, supporting clients in understanding these patterns, taking accountability where needed, and building safer, more respectful ways of relating.

Life has a way of pulling us away from ourselves. Anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, attachment wounds & life's unexpected hardships can make it difficult to trust your inner wisdom. If you've been feeling lost, disconnected, or unsure of who you are beneath it all, we'll work together to help you reconnect with your authentic, whole & worthy self. My approach is non-judgmental, collaborative & person-centered. I integrate attachment-based, emotion-focused, narrative, solution-focused, and CBT-informed approaches to help you reconnect with yourself, build self-trust & create healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

Something in you knows it’s time to heal, but part of you may still feel unsure, overwhelmed, or stuck in old patterns. Maybe trauma or attachment wounds from the past are showing up in your relationships, emotional reactions, or sense of self. You want more than surface-level support, you want lasting change. I work with thoughtful clients who are ready to go deeper. Using Internal Family Systems and EMDR, I help you figure out what’s been holding you back so you can live with more clarity, peace, and self-trust.

Do you find yourself overthinking conversations, questioning your worth, or wondering why relationships feel so much harder than they should? Maybe you struggle to set boundaries, put everyone else's needs before your own, or keep finding yourself in the same relationship patterns despite wanting something different. You might look like you're holding everything together on the outside, while privately feeling anxious, disconnected, or "not enough".

I specialize in supporting people navigating cancer, chronic illness/autoimmune conditions, and complex digestive disorders. Maybe you’ve been told “your tests are normal” while your life feels anything but. Maybe you’re grieving the body you once trusted, exhausted from advocating for yourself, or quietly terrified of what the next scan will show. Illness changes more than your health, it changes your identity, relationships, and sense of safety in the world. If your body has changed your life in ways you didn’t choose, you don't have to navigate this alone. I'm honoured to walk alongside you as you reclaim your sense of self.

While I support clients through a variety of concerns, I am especially passionate about working with those experiencing grief and loss. I recognize that grief is not something to "get over", but something to be understood and carried. In our work together, I offer a compassionate space where you can explore your emotions, honour your story, and begin to reconnect with meaning and support.

I understand that asking for support can be a challenging, yet a brave first step. It isn’t easy to have the courage to say that you need support and I welcome you here. I bring to you experience working in a variety of fields, from mental health, addictions, social relationships, and palliative care. In my sessions, I work from a trauma informed, anti-oppressive analysis, appreciating that trauma can be the basis of many challenges individuals may face. My practice is structured with a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational and solution focused interventions.

I specialize in supporting people to navigate complex life experiences and defy stereotypes. My practice focuses on identity exploration, building self-esteem, fostering healthy relations, and conflict resolution skills. I help folks understand underlying patterns of anger, depression, anxiety, people-pleasing, avoidance, or trauma. With several years of experience working with those affected by relational abuse—both who experienced and caused harm—I'm committed to breaking intergenerational trauma cycles. I advocate for men's mental health needs in eradicating gender-based violence using a trauma- and violence-informed care model.

Do you feel weighted down by patterns that seem hard to change? You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or stress, feeling disconnected from the life you want despite your best efforts. You may be intellectually aware of what's happening, yet feel stuck in your body and disconnected from your authentic self. Deep inside, you sense there's more — more peace, clarity, and possibility waiting to emerge. I understand. You don't have to navigate this alone. I can help you come home to yourself and move forward with greater confidence and ease.
