Therapists in M6C

I specialize in Reproductive Life Transitions including families trying to conceive, pregnancy, postpartum, pregnancy loss, fertility and menopause, often working with issues related to depression, anxiety and grief.

My priority is to develop a therapeutic and non-judgmental relationship with all my clients. In my experience validating and reassuring clients helps to normalize their experiences and feelings. I am client-centered and focus on my client's strengths; starting where the client is at. "I believe that each person has a unique story and perspective in which they bring to both relationships and to managing life stressors. Ultimately, we will work together so that you feel empowered to identify meaningful goals for positive change.”

With over 30 years of clinical experience, I welcome Children, Teens, Adults, Couples & Families into my practice who are facing anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, grief, addiction, chronic pain/illness, or stress from relationship conflicts. I specialize in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Relapse Prevention Therapy, and Self-Care which are personalized to your unique circumstance. I also provide a special Couple's Program and a Deeper Healing Program that addresses pain and utilizes strength to repair.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, depressed, hopeless, lonely,confused, scared, frustrated or stuck? Are the issues that you are facing getting in the way of your daily functioning, enjoyment, health, relationships, goals, academic success, job performance and of the hopes and dreams that you have for yourself? Are you tired of feeling the way that you are and want something different for yourself? If you answered "Yes" to any of the above, then you've come to the right place! We can work together to help you move toward a healthier and happier place in a way that fits for you.

I am an experienced therapist with 34 years of practice to draw upon. I will listen carefully as you describe the issues that you need support and help to sort out. Often, an increased understanding of the challenges that you face can be very helpful to move forward in your life. As well, learning some new skills to manage the issues and/or gaining a new perspective on the issues can be useful as well. I appreciate that it is not easy to embark on a therapy course so I make every effort to be supportive and understanding as we build a therapy relationship.

Accepting New Clients; No Waitlist - I guide adults to connect with the evidence and knowledge gained from their experiences to transform their relationships with themselves and others. Come to my practice if you want to experience the three MMLC guiding principles that will restructure your thinking patterns by guiding you into accessing the knowledge you hold (you being the expert in your experiences), joining it to your present day self with everything you have learned (subconscious into the conscious), and guiding you into creating a new knowledge base rooted in authenticity, empowerment, and valuable connections (neuro-pysch)

Underneath your anxiety, depression and anger there are feelings that need to be explored, known and expressed. This awareness is valuable and will be the foundation of future possibilities and choices. I will provide the support you need to start this journey and then will challenge you and offer new choices in a way that empowers you. I will help you get more curious about things you haven't paid so much attention to and together we will explore struggles, issues and then new possibilities.

I am dedicated to cultivating a nurturing, supportive, and safe environment for my clients. By meeting you with empathy and fostering a strong therapeutic connection, we can progress through your healing and growth journey together. Through a blend of curiosity and light-heartedness, we will delve into the depths of your psyche, emotions, and spirituality. I’d offer support and gentle guidance as you discover your innate capacity to heal and nurture both yourself and your relationships, ultimately empowering you to manifest your desires and fulfill your needs.

Note: My practice is now re-open for new clients again, daytime and limited evening spots. Are you going through a life transition? Do you want something different for yourself or for your relationships? Find ways to move toward a healthier place in a way that fits for you. Friends and family can be supportive; but, meeting with someone outside of these groups can lead to new insights, perspectives and change. Seeking counselling is a helpful way to get you where you want to be.

Accepting New Clients! I am an expert in the field of treating concerns surrounding sleep/insomnia. I have successful career experience working therapeutically with palliative patients and their caregivers to tackle grief, bereavement and caregiver burnout. I am also well renowned for working with relationship issues (using attachment theory), mood disorders (depression, anxiety), and dissociative disorders. Finally, I treat and work with self-esteem/worth, existential questions, burnout, life transitions, and other concerns. Yes that's a lot, but I just thinking helping people to heal is very neat, and so I have learned so much :).

Does a lack of intimacy and communication leave you feeling discouraged about the future of your relationship? Do you feel distant and disconnected from your partner? Do you yearn to have your voice heard without judgment and your experiences met with empathy? We all dream of a fairytale romance but the realities of long-term partnership and parenthood can create challenges. The good news is that you're not alone and there are effective ways to reconnect and use these difficulties to strengthen your bond. It doesn't matter how long you've struggled. Together, we can revive love, passion, and intimacy in your relationship.

When you've exhausted your best ideas only to find yourself no further along, looking for competent help makes sense. Every kind of problem carries important information: information about what feels wrong, of course, but also about what might feel right. That's obvious when we see a picture hanging crooked on a wall; it's less straightforward when we can't seem to right ourselves.

My clients are seeking to better understand themselves individually and in their relationships. They are looking for help with change – to navigate their relationships with greater ease, to shift their dependence on addictive behaviours, or to navigate their careers with greater confidence. They are interested in learning new skills for personal healing and growth, and they want to feel more empowered in their lives.

Relational psychotherapy can be an effective tool when grappling with: anxiety, care taking/giving tendencies, narcissistic and neglectful parenting, attachment, self-sufficiency, hypervigilance, isolation, authenticity, masculinity, meaninglessness, depression, shame, complex emotional and intergenerational trauma, identity, and existential angst. My practice is informed by an attachment, trauma, and neurobiological perspective and grounded in mindfulness and empathy. Additionally, my approach considers the wider social, political and economic context of your relational world.
