Whether you're struggling with symptoms you can't quite name, or carrying wounds that have shaped every relationship in your life, you don't have to keep managing this alone.

Silenced, invisible, unloved – A story written about you. It haunts you, and you feel it seeping into your everyday. You want to change, but you're not sure how. There’s a part of you that feels like you’re not living up to your full potential, yet another part that feels hopeless. Together, we will liberate you from this story to create a new chapter: one that helps you live up to your full potential, a life in which you feel deserving of being heard, seen and loved.

Angela's approach to couples therapy combines elements of the Gottman Method and emotion-based techniques to help couples improve their relationships. The Gottman Method is a well-known approach to couples therapy which focuses on enhancing communication, understanding relationship dynamics, and resolving conflicts.
Emotion-based techniques often involve exploring and understanding the emotions underlying these conflicts and helping couples develop more productive ways of expressing and managing their feelings.

Are you ready to feel more grounded, respond rather than react, and build a sense of safety and self-compassion? Trauma and anxiety can quietly shape how you see yourself and the world around you. You may be thoughtful and capable, yet feel on edge, disconnected from others, or emotionally drained. Past experiences can show up in your body, your relationships, or your ability to feel calm and present. You might feel frustrated by these patterns or unsure how to move forward, but something in you is ready for change. I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing.

Starting therapy can feel daunting, and it can be heard to reach out. I understand how vulnerable that first step can feel - and I also know how meaningful it can be to have a space where you feel understood and supported. If you’re a teen or adult struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or self-esteem, I’m here to help. I also work with athletes (ages 16+) to strengthen the mental side of performance and well-being. This includes exploring identity beyond sport, navigating transitions such as injury or retirement, and addressing perfectionism and burnout.

Are you smart, driven, career-focused - and quietly falling apart? On the outside, you seem fine. On the inside, your mind races like a browser with 30 tabs open. You replay conversations, dread your to-do list, and never feel caught up. No matter how much praise you get, it doesn’t land. Your inner critic is loud, and everything feels heavy—like life isn’t fun anymore. You wonder if it’s ADHD, depression, burnout... You’ve tried the books, the walks, the journaling. You tell yourself to “love yourself,” but it feels like a vague idea, not something real. You’re tired of holding it all together and ready to actually feel okay

I’m a fortunate man, really enjoying my life and my work. I am well, and I remember not being well; anxious, depressed, traumatized and clinically diagnosed with various psychiatric ailments. Life threw me some awful curves and I’ve experienced the therapy world as a client for many hundreds of hours in several of its forms. I have acted badly and I apologize to those I’ve hurt. I won’t indulge my humility here but I’ll be open if you ask. My practice is built in part on my personal experiences of suffering, change, and growth. I am a Registered Psychotherapist in the Province of Ontario.

We are all evolving! Many people seek my support when they’re facing a challenge in their lives. Interestingly, the word "crisis" originates from a term meaning "turning point." If you're experiencing a pivotal moment, I can help you navigate the complexities that come with it. During times of crisis, it’s common to feel overwhelmed by emotional and mental confusion, making it difficult to process what’s happening. Therapy provides a space to untangle these emotions and thoughts, guiding you toward greater clarity and self-awareness. Embracing this awareness can open the door to new perspectives and possibility.

It takes courage to reach out for support when not knowing what to do. That can be quite a lonely and painful experience, together with feeling disconnected, stuck and overwhelmed. You can get a better understanding of your feelings and behaviors, see how you are entrenched in your own patterns or how you get in your own way, process past experiences and just talk about heavy stuff without feeling like a burden. This work can bring you closer to understanding and experiencing your authentic self.

When you’re carrying more than anyone can see—living with fear, tension, or instability in your daily life while old trauma still lives inside you, —I sit with you with the kind of compassion that comes from both clinical training and lived understanding of how vulnerable healing can be. I work with violence against women, complex trauma and suicidal ideation to help heal your experiences that are impacting the present moment. As a therapist and disability rights advocate/educator, I understand barriers and stigma. Together, we can create a space where your story is believed, your pain is honoured, and healing feels possible.

I provide a safe, accepting, warm, and nonjudgmental environment where you can become empowered to be you.

Whether it’s helping a young person find their voice, guiding teens through the pressures of growing up, or supporting adults and families through anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, or life transitions, we focus on building a strong, compassionate connection first.

We seek out therapy for many reasons, but the process of finding a therapist who is a good fit for us can itself feel overwhelming. I first and foremost offer a safe space where you can feel heard, seen and understood. My approach to therapy is relational and collaborative, which means that it is the co-created relationship between us that is the healing force of therapy. Our sessions draw upon experiences from the past and bring to light how these get replayed, with or without our knowing, in our present ways of thinking, feeling and relating to others. Together we explore these repetitive patterns that can keep us feeling stuck.
