I currently offer individual psychological services to adults facing a variety of challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, and other life transitions.
In order to navigate difficult life experiences, people often develop patterns of thinking and behaving that are helpful in those difficult moments. When we keep using these patterns they are often no longer helpful in day-to-day life. Together we can work to uncover patterns that are no longer helping you thrive in your life and ways to start changing them. I use an attachment and trauma-focused approach to therapy to create a safe space where clients feel seen, heard, and accepted to start their therapy journey.

I specialize in working with adults aged 18 and above who are experiencing various mental health and relationship concerns.
Life can present us with significant challenges, particularly when we become entrenched in negative patterns. However, I want to emphasize that we can address these challenges collaboratively, and I am committed to providing support throughout this process. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, feeling low, undergoing a life transition, navigating relationships, exploring your identity, building self-esteem, or seeking motivation, I am here to assist you. Together, we can not only address the symptoms you may be facing but also clarify your goals and aspirations. This approach will enable you to engage more positively in your life.

I specialize in (cost-effective!) online assessments for adults who suspect they are autistic.
Looking for an adult autism assessment with a neurodivergent psychologist? Feeling dismissed by people who don’t understand medical trauma or how hard it is to stop masking? You have the right to feel accepted, heard, and believed—even during an assessment! I was “late-diagnosed” and understand how relieving it can be after decades of feeling misunderstood and exhausted. My assessments are thorough and the options were entirely designed by autistic people, who I routinely work with to refine things. You can do the entire assessment from home and take the time you need. Do a FREE self-screen on my site here: www.ndpsych.com

I work with adults, teenagers, and couples and provide treatment for a wide range of issues, from anxiety and depression to relationship-building.
I am now accepting new clients. ...Each of us has a story we want to be true. What kind of partner/parent/friend do I want to be? What is the work I want to do in the world? What do I want to make more central, and where do I want to learn to let go? How do I navigate this next step? If we're working together, then we’re exploring what matters most to you and how to work with the obstacles that keep you from it. And if you're coming as a couple, then we're working on how to have the kinds of conversations that currently feel out of reach.

My specialized area includes working with children/adolescents and adults struggling with mental health, stress/anger management, family violence and co-parenting support.
I am glad you found me here. How can I provide a relationship to you that may be used for your personal growth? Many therapists urge clients to change themselves when circumstances cannot change. Our therapeutic relationship will encourage you to focus on controlling your inner life when your outer lives and circumstances are out of control, due to trauma, mental health, intrusive thoughts, cognitive distortions, and flashbacks/nightmares, which can lead to depression, anxiety, avoidance/maladaptive coping strategies such as addiction. If this sounds like you, I want to work with you to heal past wounds and regain control.

An early influence on my career involved several years working on a paediatric hospital ward; today, working with youth and adults, I continue to find success by drawing on the playful curiosity, and compassionate empathy, that helped me there.
Sometimes our problems seem to take on a life of their own; they can drag us down, even paralyzing us under a weight of sadness and worry. Perhaps you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like you are struggling to cope. If this sounds like you, we can talk. With years of experience in clinical healthcare and university-counselling settings, I am adept at working with a wide range of mental health and life challenges, including anxiety, depression, and relational difficulties. I offer in-office, outdoor, virtual, and phone-based therapy sessions, through Wolf Counselling Therapy (WolfCT.ca).
