Therapists in L9T

Here at Bloom I believe in modern day counselling. I value and feel honored being a part of your journey during your most vulnerable time. My goal is to build an incredible therapeutic relationship to support you in peeling back the layers and helping you to self-discovery and healing. Counselling is a chance to openly express yourself and your feelings in a safe, non-judgmental and unbiased environment. This will allow you to achieve peace and contentment, clarity and direction in your life. There are little bits of sunshine all around us if we look in the right places.

Welcome. I'm so happy you landed here. I've been dedicated to the field of child, youth, and family mental health for the past 18 years. I have am the Founder & Clinical Director & Supervisor of Counting Butterflies Child & Family Wellness (est. 2012), and Co-Founder & Clinical Supervisor of The Therapy Collective, our sister practice that focused on trauma-informed mental health approaches. I work alongside my clients to help them: 1. Get unstuck by growing their emotional awareness 2. Develop a healthy relationship to their thoughts & feelings to get insight into core needs 3. Gain a sense of purpose, connection, joy, and calm.

As a Child & Family Therapist, my goal for each session is to extend genuine and empathic support to children & their families. I have a unique background working with children & families. I have worked cross-culturally in Asia & Africa in education and wellness programs as well as 15 years in Child Welfare as an advocate for children and their families. My play based approach, and focus on emotional awareness, allows children to explore their worries and feelings in a safe and supportive setting. I am especially interested in supporting children as they navigate the challenges associated with divorce, separation & blended families.

I work with traditional & non-traditional couples faced with conflicts stemming from issues of intimacy, communication, impacts of trauma, infidelity, life transitions, mental and physical health etc. I believe that at the very core we want to all be loved and understood. Wounds from childhood, life stressors, or relational injuries can threaten this need, and get us stuck in rigid cycles with our partners. I help couples gain insight and practical tools to support both the mind and body, so they find their way back to security and connection. Similarly, stories of strength and resilience create hope and trigger a positive cycle.

If you're feeling anxious, stressed, overwhelmed and trapped by negative thoughts and emotions, we need to talk. People usually start working with me when they're struggling with anxiety and stress that saps their energy and happiness. Being this way clouds your thinking with fear and uncertainty, causes fatigue and effects relationships. It makes you believe that you can't escape the negativity. But, this just isn't true! You will make the important changes you want, and you will achieve your goals.

My journey to becoming a psychotherapist started because I have always cared about people and their overall well being. I realized I could help others in their healing process by way of providing therapy. I truly believe that by talking about our challenges in a safe and comfortable environment with a compassionate and trained listener change and healing can happen. I also recognize this can be a scary step for some to take and I will work at whatever pace is best for the individual. I have my Masters in Social Work and have been working with children, adolescents, families and adults for 13 years.

Being human is hard. Really hard. You experience losses, difficult transitions, painful emotions, intrusive thoughts, traumas. You struggle to find your place in a world that is constantly changing, that tells you what you should want and who you should be, and that is often unjust. In our therapy sessions, I provide you with non-judgmental support to help you discover ways to bring authentic presence to your life and relationships, to say “yes” to what serves you and “no” to what doesn’t, and to bring curiosity and acceptance to all the very human parts of you.

I am a registered Clinical Psychologist (Ontario) who specializes in working with children, teens, parents, and families. My approach in working with clients is to provide a supportive and caring relationship within which they can explore and address issues meaningful to them, identify their psychological needs, and expand on their strengths to meet these needs. In my work with children and teens, whatever the issue we are addressing, I encourage the development of skills in self-reflection and effective communication to promote the capacity for positive engagement and healthy relations (e.g., family, peers), which are cornerstones of psychological well-being.

Connection and processing your hurts and questions can be one of the most productive ways we grow and move forward. If you want to work with someone who is passionate about helping you in your journey to gain balance and meet goals I would love to talk to you about counselling being the right next step. Different situations and different personalities lend themselves to different types of therapies so I work with you to create an individualized plan that is best suited for your personal needs and situation.

Life can be fun and exciting. It can also be lonely, overwhelming, & stressful. Sometimes this gets in the way of recognizing your worth, decision-making, & reaching your goals. Therapy is a tool that helps you identify barriers, challenges unhelpful ways of thinking, & supports you in reaching goals. I have been described as genuine, & empathetic with a great sense of humour. I’m curious, & direct & feel I am not doing my job unless I challenge clients when they appear to be stuck in harmful ways of thinking & behaving. I have worked in the field of mental health for 30 years, 23 of which focused on families, children, & teens.

Truth be told, all of us go through many story lines and create our own unique narratives as we go about our daily lives. We are the authors of our lives. And in therapy, I truly respect that. You will see in our sessions, as you and I work together to build a therapeutic relationship, I will make every effort to help you make sense of your unique experiences and support you on your journey. I have extensively worked with adolescents, adults, and seniors.
