Therapists in L7S

I am a registered psychologist in the area of School Psychology. I have worked in children’s mental health, as well in University/College and School Board settings. My primary focus is psychological/psycho-educational assessments that focus on one’s cognitive, academic, processing, memory, attention, behaviour, adaptive and executive functioning, as well as social/emotional needs. I work with children, youth and adults who want to better understand their learning strengths and needs. I also provided consultation/coaching to develop learning strategies particularly with developing executive functioning skills.

I believe mental health is an ever-changing journey and sometimes we need a guide for support. I consider it an honour to be your guide, as we work together to consider the whole person. In collaboration, we can explore your unique needs and the experiences that shape who you are. I have worked in mental health for 10-years with youth, young adults, and those within the 2SLGBTQ+ population. I specialize in these populations with a focus on trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, suicidal thought, and self-harm. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family & growing my plant collection.

You are a mature and accomplished person, but you've had a lot to cope with lately, and you're seeking insight and resources. Your most immediate need may be to recover a daily life that works for you, or to cope with stress, or to grieve a loss. You may be at a crossroads with decisions to make, or in the midst of a transition. You may carry the responsibilities of a leadership position. As a Life and Leadership Coach, I meet you in conversations which inspire and equip you to know yourself, to identify your goals, and to design strategies for moving forward.

Welcome to my profile! For one reason or another, you may be feeling off-balance or have goals for self-improvement. If this is you, I applaud your initiative and courage to seek assistance. I would be honoured to help you find your balance and achieve your goals. I think every individual is unique, and it is that uniqueness that draws me to want to help you make sense of your neurodiversity so you can function optimally. I use a varied background in teaching, performance, sports, counselling, and psychotherapy training to offer evidence-based therapies/treatment options to support your mental health and wellness needs.

Is it hard keeping up with life's demands? Are you feeling inadequate or stuck? I know this is difficult and you may be feeling uncertain whether change is possible and if therapy is the right move for you. It's hard managing everything on your own, and I want you to know that you’re not alone and I am here to help. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and I take on a client-centred approach that is integrative of other therapies, so I can follow your lead. This is your journey and you are the true expert of your life.

Are you dealing with adult ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, social anxiety, negative thinking, organization, relationship, or sleep issues? You know you are capable, hard working, and intelligent but life continues to be challenging and difficult to manage? Do you feel lost, stuck, carry shame or lack of confidence? What if you could talk freely and openly without judgment? What if you were offered practical strategies to face your challenges? This is the space that I offer for you.

Life is unpredictable. We can get thrown curve balls at any stage of life. I see myself as someone who can help navigate stress, life transitions and coping with loss. Even in the darkest of times, I truly believe that people are resilient. I want to meet my clients where they are at, to help them be kinder to themselves and to support them as they make courageous steps towards change and personal growth. As a certified addiction counselor, I have experience in strength-based Solution Focused approach and CBT. I believe in a holistic approach where a balanced mind-body connection is important to our over all well-being.

I use a relational style in my therapy, meaning that I honour you as the expert of your experience. I centre the therapeutic relationship as a trusting and non-judgemental place to enact change. As this is your therapy, and our connectedness is important, feedback and honest conversations about how you feel within sessions is encouraged and considered a gift to me. Building trust between us ensures that you feel safe and comfortable being vulnerable.

Asking for help with a problem or directions for where you want to go is not an admission of failure. It is the signature of a person likely to succeed. I believe that each person is uniquely created for success and that your struggles can be a stepping stone to fulfillment. With skills and talents developed in the business arena, in volunteer work with youth and female victims and training in adult education, I provide you with STRATEGIES, SOLUTIONS and the SUPPORT to make this happen. I focus on your fears and hopes and guide you through change.

Are you in need of couples therapy? Is infidelity, communication, trauma, unresolved conflict, or unmet needs affecting your life and relationships? Then let us talk in a safe environment how to de-escalate emotions, manage conflict constructively, enhance romance and intimacy, or attain an amicable solution. Or, are you in need of individual therapy? Is loneliness, anger, depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, stress, grief/loss or other mental health issues getting in the way of your happiness? You can learn how to manage stress, regulate your emotions, channel your energy in a positive way, and have better relationships.

I offer an environment where change can be explored in creative and practical ways. Mindful conversation and reflection, compassion for self and the practice of both cognitive and somatic strategies are incorporated into each session. I believe that therapy is a co-created experience. It is important to me that people find new resources and enhance the ones that are already available to them. My approach is influenced by somatic psychology, interpersonal neurobiology, attachment theory, developmental, relational and psychodynamic schools of psychology.

I am available to listen to you in moments of stress, anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, and interpersonal conflicts. My passion is to work with children, adolescents/teenagers, and couples. I will help shape your perspective into a healthy and productive life that has a positive outlook towards your personal growth and creativity. Whether it's your career, your relationships, or anything else that's important to you, I'll help you develop the habits and skills to effectively deal with the challenges and emotional situations you may encounter in life.

Are you longing for a personalized and holistic approach? Are you feeling burdened by anxiety, stress, trauma, grief or depression? I would like to help you understand and unravel the patterns in your life. I believe that this process begins with healing the relationship with ourselves as a starting point. I would like to guide and inspire you to cherish your own life, and begin to transform the fear based patterns, which may be overwhelming your best efforts towards true healing and change. As a trauma informed therapist and hypnotherapist, I can help you find the keys to unlock your inner peace and potential. May you find the way
