Therapists in N1G
Sometimes our minds can feel like a storm—thoughts spinning, emotions rising, identity in question. There is a way to stop the storming. You’re always transforming. I help people navigate their own thoughts and feelings in a unique way - using unconscious processes to shift patterns. I specialize in adult ADHD and women facing menopause, birth, and divorce. You can release the anxiety, frustration and overwhelm. This is neuroscience-based coaching designed for measurable change—not endless processing. This chapter is powerful. This is a different kind of approach and may be the shift you are ready for. Free consults available.

As someone diagnosed with OCD since childhood, I understand this struggle personally. I know what it's like being stuck in cycles of intrusive thoughts, repetitive rituals, endless "what ifs" and replaying scenarios over and over in your head, checking for evidence that something terrible has or may happen. I know the suffering that OCD can cause. I also know recovery is possible.

Life’s challenges can make it hard to remember the strength and resilience within yourself, especially when you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, feeling overwhelmed, or reliving pain from your past. Many of these struggles can be rooted in trauma and attachment wounds, which can shape how you see yourself and your relationships. I know that there is hope and that these patterns can be changed to support you in feeling ease and freedom in your life. I would love to walk alongside you, supporting you in rediscovering your strengths, building resilience, and helping you to feel more connected and empowered in your life.

Reaching out to a complete stranger to share your deepest fears and issues can be overwhelming, and I want to start off by congratulating you on taking that first step towards positive change and healing. Whether you want to improve your relationships, manage your thoughts, mood and stress, set and meet new goals, gain clarity and insight, or move through a life transition, engaging in therapy can be helpful. I am known for having a kind, non-judgmental and compassionate approach, while providing you with the necessary resources and life-long skills for you to apply on your own long after therapy has ended.

Living an unconventional life requires immense courage and resilience. People in your life probably describe you as brave, driven and capable without fully understanding how exhausting it is to make things up as you go along. Underneath that fierce, independent exterior are the anxiety, insecurity, fatigue and burnout that lead to feeling adrift or isolated. Conventional supports and self-help advice often seek to tame or erase what makes you yourself. My practice is a virtual hearth where weird, wild, wayward humans can come in from the cold and trade their adventuring gear for a mug of tea by the fire.

I have experience working in these areas with clients, and it would be my privilege to join you as you work your way through to the other side.

Are you or your child feeling overwhelmed by the pressure of today's modern life? These pressures can often show up in children, young people and adults as anxiety, low mood, issues with emotion regulation, behavioural difficulties, low self-esteem, and conflict at home.
If this is you, then we can work together to explore and better understand you or your child's needs, what's keeping you stuck, and what meaningful change looks like. Together, we can create an open and non-judgemental environment, where you can show up as you are. This could mean incorporating play, art, or bringing in whatever helps therapy feel more accessible.

After experiences of trauma, disconnection, grief, or transition, we may begin wondering what it means to live life fully and authentically. Maybe you’ve spent a long time trying to understand yourself - to make sense of your emotions, your relationships, or your thought patterns. You may be highly sensitive or deeply feeling, and carrying the effects of trauma that impacts how you experience yourself and others. You may find yourself navigating complicated relationships, struggling to trust your own needs and desires, and longing for more intimacy, authenticity, pleasure, or connection, while feeling unsure about how to get there.

Are you struggling to manage your emotions of sadness, anxiety, anger, overthinking and panic? Do you experience a sense of helplessness in understanding your own behavioral reactions? Sometimes, lack of control in life can create a sense of despair. The desire of being heard, understood, seen, heal and recover can contribute in our optimal functioning and well-being. Healing can help individuals have better relationship with themselves, their career, their environment and other people around them. Seeking therapy can be challenging however, not impossible. With trust and hope, you can reach the goals of your mental wellness.

I earned my Master's in Social Work in 2004. I work with individuals and couples. Some of the topics I help people with include anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and major life transitions. My preferred therapeutic approaches include narrative (deconstructing the negative stories we hold about ourselves and our lives), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) and mindfulness.

We all go through times that feel challenging and overwhelming, moments where we feel stuck or defeated – wondering if things can truly change. Navigating these experiences can feel isolating, but you don’t have to do it alone.
I am here to be with you in these moments. From the weight of anxiety, stress, low self-confidence, navigating relationship difficulties, or managing life transitions, we’ll take the time to explore what truly matters to you.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, overwhelm, insomnia, chronic pain, or the emotional impact of trauma, grief, or a difficult relationship or life transition? These challenges can shape how you see yourself, affect your energy and motivation, and make even simple tasks feel heavy. It’s understandable to feel alone, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward. I offer a warm, down-to-earth space where you can feel supported, understood, and truly listened to. I work with adults of all ages, including seniors and caregivers, and I take a thoughtful, collaborative approach.

A client asked me once: Is therapy just TALKING? In a way it is. Just talking ... words, words, words. Sometimes words are meaningless and pointless. They lead to conflicts, misunderstandings, hurt, pain, crises. What could happen when words are meaningful, relevant, clear, aimed at understanding you and the other? What difference would it make when the right words are spoken, and they are heard at the right time? Would they make your wants, needs, wishes and dreams more real and attainable?

I try to leave my assumptions at the door when it comes to your experiences, identities, communities, and cultures. I get to be curious about what these feel like and mean to you. I care about your stories. The stories we hold about ourselves shape us, and we have the power to reimagine our lives by reinterpreting and bringing new meanings into our experiences.
Using your own values, you can shape the story you make moving forward, improving your relationships with yourself, your loved ones, and your communities.
