Therapists in L4N
Hello:) I believe healing begins in a space where people feel genuinely safe, seen, and supported to show up exactly as they are. Guided by humanistic values, I approach each person with compassion, curiosity, and respect for their unique story.
With a prior background in social services, I am especially passionate about supporting individuals through a harm reduction lens and supporting clients navigating substance use, anxiety, depression, trauma, suicidal ideation, and concurrent disorders.

Do you wonder why you act the way you do? Do you have a feeling of doom that you can't shake? Are you convinced life could be better but you feel stuck? Answers may relate to trapped emotion in the body and deep-rooted beliefs. These answers might be the clarity you need to alleviate anxiety, regulate emotion, build self-esteem, and nurture healthier relationships.

You’ve noticed your child’s behaviour has changed recently and it concerns you. You want to support them in this fast-paced and competitive world, but you’re not sure how. You want to understand them, but it feels you’re hitting a wall whenever you try to reach them. And you’re getting tired of trying. For children and youth, growing up involves changes that impact their well-being and their self-esteem. With attentive and empathetic support, their ability to cope with these changes can bring them confidence. But without the right support, they can internalize ideas about themselves and their relationships that cause them pain.

Anxiety, Depression and Trauma Therapist: You’ve experienced distressing event(s) that have impacted your ability to move forward. You fluctuate between feelings of worry, sadness and hopelessness. At night you have difficulty sleeping and throughout the day you experience constant reminders of the event.

Often times we get stuck in various aspects of our life due to loss, emotional distress such as anxiety, panic or depression; trauma (childhood, sexual, physical and emotional abuse); relationship issues, such as separation and divorce, and coping issues such as stress and addictions, and we just need someone to help us navigate it all.

Growing up with emotionally unavailable or critical caregivers can leave lasting wounds. You may find yourself people-pleasing, avoiding conflict, feeling overly responsible, or doubting your own needs. Even now, certain relationships may leave you feeling unseen or drained. I support clients 16+ navigating anxiety, depression, relationship stress, low self-esteem, trauma, grief, and life transitions, with a special focus on adult children of emotionally immature parents.

ADHD, BPD, Emotions, Relationships/Couples, Anxiety/Stress- You're having a hard time concentrating and getting things done. You struggle to find motivation to complete your daily tasks and then feel down about yourself. You struggle with shifting moods and don't know how to cope. When anxiety and overwhelm take over, it can be hard to function because your concentration and motivation start to slip. And, if you struggle with low mood and negative self-talk, it can be hard to get out of that "funk" and shift to a more productive mindset.

Anxiety/Stress/People-Pleasing/Perfectionism/Self-Esteem- You feel exhausted most of the time and can't seem to get any work done. You have trouble relaxing because your mind is constantly racing with stress and worries. It is hard to "shut off" and your body is feeling the effects of prolonged stress. Your never ending to-do list just keeps getting bigger and you feel overwhelmed by life in general. If these statements resonate with you, you might be struggling with chronic stress and anxiety. Possibly even dealing with poor work-life balance and are on the brink of burnout. You've come to the right place to get back on track!

Have you noticed yourself feeling more on edge lately? Feeling tired no matter how much you sleep? Getting overwhelmed by small things that normally wouldn’t bother you? Maybe you beat yourself up for not being productive enough, even though you’re running on empty.
Are simple tasks taking more effort than they should? Do you open a message, stare at it, and think, “I’ll respond later,” and then never do? Do you find your mind drifting in conversations, struggling to stay present?
And maybe the hardest part… things you used to enjoy just don’t feel the same.
Does this sound familiar? You are not alone.

You're exhausted holding it all together. On the outside you look fine, but inside you're running on empty. The anxiety is constant, the guilt is crushing, you can't remember the last time you put yourself first without feeling selfish. You lie awake replaying conversations, say yes when you mean no, snap at people you love then feel terrible. I work with overwhelmed women carrying trauma and anxiety—whether from childhood, difficult relationships, or years of being everyone's caretaker. You've told yourself "I should handle this" or "I'm being dramatic." You're not! Your nervous system is stuck in survival mode, and it's exhausted.

I work with adults seeking support for anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, trauma, and other emotional difficulties. My approach is grounded in self-compassion and the belief that how we relate to ourselves and others plays a central role in psychological well-being. I draw from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, metacognitive therapy (MCT), mentalization-based therapy (MBT), and other evidence-based approaches, tailoring treatment to each client's unique needs and goals. My goal is to help clients develop practical skills while building a more compassionate relationship with themselves.

You deserve to feel settled, confident, and at home in your own skin. While you might be expertly holding it together on the outside, you don't have to quietly carry the weight of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted anymore. Past experiences and old patterns may have shaped your view of yourself and others, but they do not have to dictate your future. I offer compassionate virtual therapy for adults across Ontario who are ready to break free from the grip of anxiety, depression, and historic or single-incident trauma. Together, we will move past just "coping" and focus on true healing.

As someone who is passionate about mental health, I applaud you for seeking therapy and advocating for your well-being. It is not easy to reach out and takes courage and bravery to do so. It is empowering to remember that you are in charge of your own life, even in the unexpected moments.

If you're here, something in your life or relationship has become too heavy to carry alone. Maybe you're not even sure therapy is the right step — you're just tired of how things feel right now.
My clients are individuals and couples caught in painful cycles — infidelity, betrayal, grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, career burnout, BPD or ADHD — who are looking for a space to make sense of it all.
I work with couples on the edge, partners rebuilding after betrayal, and individuals trying to understand why they keep ending up in the same place. You don't need to have it figured out before you arrive.
