Accepting NEW clients! My passion for working with clients in the perinatal period was born out of my own struggles with infertility, medically complex pregnancies, birth trauma, and postpartum anxiety. I have a particular interest in working with parents navigating high-risk pregnancies, pregnancy loss, NICU trauma, colicky babies, and parenting spicy or neurodivergent children. My passion also extends to supporting couples during the perinatal period, and helping them to move from barely surviving to thriving together. I hold the belief that people are resilient, and have the power to heal within themselves.

Does your child need support navigating challenges like ADHD, behavioural concerns, hyperactivity, motivation, decision-making, focus, aggression, shyness, or other social-emotional issues? At Positive Kids, we understand how difficult it can be to see your child struggle. That’s why we’ve created a nurturing space to help children and teens develop critical life skills, in the following areas: self-control, self-awareness, social awareness, relationship skills and responsible decision-making. These children ultimately become independent, confident, inquisitive, enthusiastic, responsible and compassionate adults in later years.

***ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS: IN-PERSON & PHONE/VIDEO*** We believe that there is good in every person, and hope in every situation. We have helped individuals, couples, and families heal, grow, and connect. As relational therapists, we appreciate the impact that our relationships have on our well-being. We do not see clients as having something wrong with their minds that necessarily needs to be fixed. Rather, we see our clients as unique individuals, each with their own stories and perspectives, embedded in important relationships and contexts that impact them. We see strengths and we see hope, even when it feels like there is none.

Are you struggling with obsessions causing intrusive ideas, urges, images, or thoughts that are unwanted and may cause guilt, shame or worry? Engaging in actions in order reduce the upsetting feelings or to prevent something bad from happening? Do you require family members to accommodate or participate in the compulsion? OCD can cause you to feel stuck and worrying about the "what if's". I provide Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) which has been found to have the most strong effect on the successful outcome of treatment for OCD.

Hello! My name is Evan. In my various roles as husband, father, and later-in-life diagnosed "ADHD'er", I understand the difficulties we all encounter in our lives and most intimate circle. I enjoy engaging with adults (18+) who seek change and are motivated to explore their ADHD-type brain. Another passion of mine is work with couples. I am a certified EFT couples therapist, and of course also offer ADHD-informed couples therapy. For individual work, I welcome clients who are formally or self diagnosed! I also welcome all forms of neurodiverse and neurotypical couples, in all their combinations(!), who seek connection and change.

You may be coming to therapy because you’ve been told you have to, or because life feels stuck after a difficult chapter. My goal is to offer a space where you are seen as a whole person and where accountability and healing can coexist. Therapy does not have to be about being judged or told what is wrong with you. It can be a place to make sense of what has been happening and begin building steadier ways to cope, regulate emotions, and move forward. I work with court-mandated individuals, people navigating behavioural/legal challenges, those involved in the justice system, and their families.

My approach to therapy involves integrating an individual's unique strengths with evidence-based therapeutic techniques. I specialize in providing therapy to children, adolescents, adults, and individuals living with a developmental disability. Drawing upon my experiences working in community-based and inpatient mental health services, I feel my role as a therapist is to provide a collaborative, personalized form of support that facilitates movement towards an individual's full potential. I utilize a number of techniques and therapies including Mindfulness, Trauma-informed care, Play-based therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

People encounter problems in their lives and come into relationship with them. Sometimes problems stay around longer than people would like - sometimes even long enough that they start to see themselves as the problem. My approach follows the narrative therapy practice of externalizing and examining problems so that we can reveal their histories, their impacts, and also the ways you have resisted their unwanted influence on your life. This approach focuses on the active role you play in pursuing the life that you want, as well as the people and things that support you in that pursuit.

I help adults navigate social anxiety, depression, and the lasting impact of childhood trauma with depth, care, and practical insight. Many of my clients come to therapy during major life transitions, relationship challenges, or periods of burnout shaped by perfectionism. Together, we explore not only symptom relief, but deeper questions of purpose and meaning—supporting you to feel more grounded, connected, and aligned with who you truly are.

When anxiety is keeping you from doing the things you love, or you're going through a stressful transition (like a death, divorce, or career shift), struggling with burnout or PTSD - you don’t have to face it alone. With the right support, it is possible to feel more grounded, resilient, and able to move forward with confidence.

The shifting world can feel scary right now and the mental load may feel weighted. Are you feeling heaviness in life, relationships, family, or work? Do you need a place to process the healing of old or new wounds? Navigating life's challenges and problems in uncertain times can feel lonely and overwhelming. To live is to experience human struggle within ourselves and with others. Although we cannot choose our struggles, every human being has the agency and freedom to build a pathway forward. Judy Singer says, "... just as we are part of the biodiverse planet, we are all neurodiverse: we all live in a neuro-sphere."

Conflicts in relationships are inevitable! These conflicts can be circumstantial or rooted in anxieties from the past and may not look like your typical conflict. Perhaps you find yourself experiencing the same anxious thoughts, a recent infidelity, or maybe you're stuck in the same negative patterns that you can't seem to break. Perhaps you and your partner are struggling with intimacy issues, communication struggles, or difference in love languages and attachment. Interpersonal and internal conflict can leave us feeling stuck, confused, stressed, overwhelmed, or depressed. The good news? It doesn't have to stay this way.

Do you feel misunderstood or like you want to escape from painful memories, thoughts, and/or emotions? Do you feel stuck as though you are unable to move forward in life? Do you struggle with people-pleasing, relationship conflict, chronic illness, or feel emotionally disconnected? If any of this applies to you, please know that you are not alone. It is normal to feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and disappointed when life appears to be passing us by and we feel stuck or held back by our past experiences. Having a therapist who provides a trauma-informed and client centred approach is essential in these cases.
