Therapists in M4K
Congratulations for finding the strength to start the process of healing and transformation. Are you seeking a kind guide and compassionate support to find your way through some difficult or challenging territory? Or perhaps you are carrying something that you need to set down? Sometimes emotions can be profoundly powerful and maybe you would like to feel a sense of mastery over your system again. Maybe you know something is just not right but it is hard to define in a way that releases it. I see individuals, dyads, and families and I provide clinical supervision (individual and group)

Initially, my focus is to cultivate the safety and warmth needed for you to begin this process toward meaningful change.

Hello and welcome! I am a Psychotherapist/Registered Social Worker with over 20 years of clinical practice with adults, kids/teens, couples & families.

Together we will explore ongoing challenges to uncover their origins; gaining insight, strengthening resiliency and working towards meaningful change. Feeling comfortable with your therapist is first and foremost, so I offer a free phone consultation to see if we may be a good fit.

Do you feel weighed down by the past, want to regain your confidence, or improve your relationships? Maybe something feels off but you can't quite figure out why. I've been there, and I'm here to help. My clients are those who are processing traumatic events, struggle with self-esteem or interpersonal difficulties, and navigating grief and loss. I believe you are the expert in what hurts and what you'd like to change, and that real growth comes from feeling truly heard and valued.

With over 9 years of caring support, I join my clients in their process of healing, breaking often generational cycles and rebuilding a healthier sense of self. I help folks access the person under the sometimes debilitating mental health symptoms, so they can live a full, meaning-filled life. Most specifically, I provide specialized support in navigating pregnancy and infant loss, and maternal perinatal/postpartum mental health, so mamas can feel more like themselves during or after incredibly challenging circumstances. I also have robust experience helping manage anxiety, especially when it presents similarly to OCD.

These brains of ours don't come with instruction manuals - figuring out how to navigate life is tough, but can sometimes seem impossible when we experience mental health difficulties. I specialize in working with people with BPD (attachment trauma), anxiety disorders, OCD, couples and people with complex difficulties who may have been given multiple diagnoses. Therapy can be a strange process, I try to make it simple and straightforward. We get to know each other, and figure out if we’re a good fit. We get a clear picture of what the problems are, and what’s going wrong (and what’s going right) in your life.

You might be carrying grief that others don’t see or feeling worn down by anxiety, burnout, depression, or the quiet, unseen work of just trying to stay 'functional.' You want space to slow down, make sense of what’s happening inside you, and meet yourself with less judgment. You’re not trying to become someone else, but rather to feel more like yourself, just with a bit more steadiness, humour, and ease included in your daily collage of feelings.

I work with individuals and couples using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). EFT for individuals helps you process your emotions and make sense of them so that you can use your emotions as a guide and become more balanced emotionally. EFT for couples helps partners make sense of the vulnerable emotions you are each feeling underneath the reactivity present in conflict or the disconnection that results from withdrawal. As you make sense of one another's vulnerability, space opens up for compassion and understanding.
