Therapists in M4W
I work with individuals and couples navigating life transitions, fertility journeys, and relationship and communication struggles. Whether you're navigating the emotional complexities of a fertility journey, moving through a significant life transition, or quietly carrying burdens that others don't see, you don't need to be in crisis to seek support. Even when life is beautiful, there are times when we feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or disconnected. I offer a compassionate space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself. I'm committed to creating a culturally responsive environment where you feel seen, heard, and understood.

A truth of life is that painful things happen—and when they do, we often carry emotional residue like grief, anxiety, despair, or relationship struggles. These deeply personal experiences shape who we are and impact how we connect with others and ourselves.
Therapy with me offers a space to let go of pretense and return to your true self. Together, we’ll explore and shift what’s holding you back from living with more intention, connection, and calm. You’ll have the opportunity to feel more at home in your body, regain a sense of safety, and uncover new ways to move through the world with strength and clarity.

I am a registered social worker dedicated to working with older people's experiences. My counselling practice, Connected, focuses on issues related to aging: adapting to a physical or cognitive health condition, adjusting to family relationship changes and caregiving, addressing loneliness, life transitions, mortality, and loss. Many of my clients are in their later years- 70's, 80's, and 90's. Some have gone through therapy in the past, while others have never shared their stories. Some are looking to explore questions, others are seeking help to cope with challenges. Most are looking for an experienced counsellor who understands.

I help queer, highly sensitive, anxious, depressed, traumatized, overwhelmed, and neurodivergent folks develop grounding and calm in their whole body-mind self. We explore creative ways of being, with a focus on the here and now. I walk besides you as we discover your self-support and build resilience to difficulties. I support you in freeing yourself of your freezing, fight or flight responses and help you to build better relationships with better boundaries, creating more flexibility and spontaneous moments of joy in your life. EMDR sessions are now available to process and heal traumatic events without having to share details.

I work with individuals who are often high functioning on the outside, while experiencing burnout, overwhelm, and the emotional impact of possible or identified neurodivergence.
We all go through rough spots in life where we can benefit from time to reflect. These times can also be an opportunity to understand ourselves better, and make sense of harmful patterns. Throughout life, we develop thought and behaviour patterns in our response to stress, in our relationships, and in our daily habits. With effective tools and strategies, we can make sense of them, and let them go. This opens us up to a more authentic and healthy life.

I offer psychoanalytic psychotherapy which recognizes the existence of an unconscious mind that influences how we behave, think, and feel. Together we pay attention to what matters to you. Therapy is a conversation, but it is a very unique kind of conversation. Much of this conversation involves deep listening on my part. I also help you stay with your experience in order that the possible meanings of such things as painful emotional and relational patterns, dreams, physical symptoms, and fantasies can emerge.

If you're here, chances are things feel like too much - for you, or for someone you love. Maybe your child is having big, scary emotions that don't seem to match the moment. Maybe you're an adult who's spent years white-knuckling your way through anxiety, self-harm urges, or a relationship with food that never feels settled. Maybe your family is caught in a cycle of conflict that leaves everyone exhausted and no one heard. Wherever you're starting from, I want you to know: none of this means something is wrong with you. It means your nervous system and coping tools haven't caught up to what you're carrying yet, and that's treatable.

Life can feel hard sometimes & the world right now can certainly make it feel harder. Reaching out for support for yourself is an act of self compassion. I'm glad you're here. Welcome.
My approach interweaves neurobiology, body based (somatic) interventions and Expressive Arts Therapy, as well as ‘talk therapy’. I use a resilience and trauma informed lens. No creative/ artistic experience necessary, only curiosity.
I work creatively and compassionately with people in many stages of life and periods of change- including early adulthood, parenting (and preparing to parent), career, health/illness, separation, loss & grief.

Something happened. A diagnosis. An accident. A loss. A life that split into before and after. And now you’re standing here wondering who you are without the version of yourself you worked so hard to build.
That’s exactly where I work.
Does this sound familiar?
→ You’ve been told to “stay positive” — you want to scream.
→ You don’t recognize yourself anymore. Your old identity feels like someone else’s.
→ You’re surviving. You can’t figure out how to live again.
→ Everyone around you has moved on. You’re still standing in the rubble.
If any of this resonates, you’re in the right spot.

Relationship Success: Couples and individuals can overcome relationship challenges and deepen the connection within yourself and to each other. Joy and happiness depends on building positive connection. It is foundational to personal and relationship fulfillment. The more we understand ourselves and the people that matter to us, the more we can live up to our full potential. I help you to find your personal truth and transform your relationships with others and yourself. When we are truly ourselves, we say yes to life and naturally let go of what no longer serves us.

Being vulnerable with anyone can feel really scary at times so I commend you for your bravery in taking this first step toward caring for your mental health. Beginning therapy or even looking for a therapist can be overwhelming, but reaching out for support is an important act of self-care.
There isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to healing, so I tailor therapy to each individual. Human beings are diverse and dynamic, and your mental health care should reflect that. I specialize in working with individuals and young adults, particularly trauma, anxiety, life transitions, and resilience development
