Therapists in M5V
You’ve been through experiences that still affect how safe, connected, or confident you feel, especially in your body and relationships. Maybe you notice tension that never seems to go away, your heart racing for no reason, or a sense of numbness or disconnection. Trauma often shows up in the body long after the event has passed, influencing how we think, feel, and relate to others. You might be longing to feel calm again, to trust your body, enjoy closeness, and move through life without the past constantly resurfacing.

I work with adults managing bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, PTSD, and complex trauma. Clients often experience emotional dysregulation, dissociation, self-criticism, and relationship instability, linked to abuse or neglect. I also provide affirming support for queer and non-binary individuals, as well as sex therapy and family therapy for those navigating conflict, identity challenges, or intimacy concerns. My clients seek stability, clearer boundaries, and sustainable tools for managing distress.

When the ways you’ve learned to achieve no longer fit it can be disorienting and leave you feeling disconnected from who you know yourself to be. You're self-aware and used to managing on your own but it feels like you’re just trying to hold everything together. You notice that the ways of coping, thinking and relating to others that once helped you succeed no longer make sense. Perfectionism, people-pleasing, or self-criticism may leave you feeling stuck in cycles of self-doubt and discomfort. Even when things look “fine” from the outside, something inside feels misaligned and you’re left feeling stressed, anxious, or rundown.

Many of our emotional struggles are connected to past experiences that were difficult, painful, or overwhelming and were never processed or healed. Trauma can shape how we see ourselves, relate to others, and navigate daily life, often showing up as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or ongoing stress. If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally drained, you are not alone. These experiences are deeply human, and healing is possible with the right support.
Beginning therapy can feel intimidating, but reaching out is also an act of courage and self-care.Congratulations on taking this important step.

If you wake up and dread having to start your day, let’s talk. Whether it’s work, school, home, or even your relationships, life seems to keep throwing you challenges that you don’t want or know how to manage. It’s starting to feel like you’re stuck in a never-ending pattern. And as humans, we often do function on autopilot and get caught in cycles of behaviour that we know aren’t healthy or good for us, but we just can’t seem to stop. How is it that we can be so aware and feel so powerless at the same time?
What if I told you that it’s not your fault and that human brains are actually wired that way for an important reason?

I work with adults who carry a lot and feel ready to change patterns that no longer serving them. You may function well on the outside while feeling tense, restless, or caught in repetitive cycles on the inside. Many people I work with want more than insight; they want to actually feel a shift. Therapy can support greater clarity, steadiness, and relief in how you experience yourself and your daily life.

Life can feel overwhelming - and you don’t have to face it alone. Many women care for everyone else first, often feeling guilty for taking up space or asking for what they need. You may be struggling with anxiety, self-criticism, relationship issues, or major life transitions that leave you wondering, “Who am I? Is this the life I want?” I help women navigate change with warmth, compassion, and deep emotional support so they can reconnect with themselves and build confidence in who they are.

How you connect with your therapist will be the most important factor in determining how you make progress in therapy. This bond and comfort to share personal information should start to build from the first meeting. With that in mind, I will provide a supportive, non-judgemental environment from which you can explore what is important to you. I have extensive training and experience (14 years counsellor; 11 years social worker, in hospitals, community settings and private practice) providing effective evidence based treatment for adult individuals, couples, groups, and supervising other therapists.

Whether you are struggling with low mood, negative thinking, difficulties managing stress or anxiety, feeling unsatisfied in your relationships or work, or feeling generally unfulfilled or stuck in your life, therapy can help.

Each time you feel let down, disappointed, discouraged or despondent it’s not permanent. There’s another breath of air where you can exhale that feeling, shake out your body and know that you have another chance to heal, to grow and to transform. Even after the same mistakes or misgivings, you are not the same. You’ve learned something. You’re not the same person each time you get caught doing the same thing over again. It’s okay to be learning. Growth is painful as we let go of the old ways of being, the old destructive thoughts and allow new ways of being to take root.
