Hi, I’m Olivia! I work with people navigating trauma, anxiety, and the weight of ongoing stress—when life feels like too much and it’s hard to slow down or feel grounded. My goal is to offer a space where you can breathe a little easier—where you feel seen, supported, and safe to explore what’s really going on. Together, we’ll build trust, self-compassion, and practical tools to help you manage stress, calm your mind, and reconnect with yourself and others. Healing can include warmth, humour, and hope—and it often does.

Do you ever feel like your partner doesn't understand you? Have you experienced an affair or some other kind of infidelity? Does your communication feel like it can use some help? I believe that connecting to our partners begins with understanding our selves deeply and learning to communicate with one another in the most effective way possible. Relationships can give us a lot of comfort, but to be their best, they require hard work - and some guidance every now and then. My expertise is in helping those in relationships gain the kind of clarity that can take their relationships to the next level.

Life can quickly become so busy that everyday interactions become overwhelming obstacles, impacting your life in ways you may not even realize. I aim to create a safe, non judgemental space where you can explore your experiences and get support while improving self-compassion. I also support your ability to tune into the present, exploring your felt senses as messages that your body is communicating to you. When we develop the right skills and ability to acknowledge our emotions, what once felt overwhelming can become manageable.

If you're a mother in search of support because you're feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, overstimulated, angry, or like you're purely just surviving - you are most certainly not alone. A safe space to talk about these unique challenges of motherhood with someone who understands can be so validating and healing. I'm Ang - I'm a therapist and a mother of toddler twins and a 9 year old. I drink way too much coffee, I have a potty mouth, I have ADHD, and I am in the trenches of motherhood right along with you. It truly takes a village, and I'd be honoured to be a part of yours.

You’re the one people count on—the dependable mom, the first responder, the strong one in the family, the high achiever, the problem solver. From the outside, it looks like you’ve got it all together. But inside, you might feel exhausted, anxious, burned out, or unsure of who you are beyond the roles you’ve taken on. Maybe you’re wrestling with perfectionism, self-doubt, ADHD, or work and school stress. Maybe you feel stuck in patterns of over-functioning, people-pleasing, or procrastination. And sometimes, you find yourself asking, “When do I get to exhale?”

Life has its ups and downs. Often we can find ways to cope, and even grow, riding out those waves. But most of us also have times when it all just seems too much; we cannot see a clear path ahead. That's when having the support of someone who listens without judgement and is fully present can be immensely helpful. That is the essence my counselling approach. My aim, in the time we spend together, is to help you discover and reconnect with your inner resources, as well as gain some new tools and create a viable plan to help you move from simply surviving to thriving.

Hi, I’m Emily! I’m a student therapist supporting children, youth, and young adults (8+) as you navigate anxiety, stress, big emotions, and life’s changes. If you or your child are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or unsure how to balance school, friendships, identity, family expectations, or the stress you quietly carry, you’re not alone. In our work together, we slow down and explore what’s been feeling heavy; worry, perfectionism, self-doubt, or emotional ups and downs. My approach is warm, grounded, and collaborative, offering a space where every feeling is welcome and you don’t have to hold it alone.
