Sometimes our problems seem to take on a life of their own; they can drag us down, 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. My services are offered in collaboration with Wolf Counselling Therapy.

Maybe you have tried many things and still feel there is something getting in the way of being the person you want to be. Maybe you are continuously looking for strategies to help you feel better but still feel stuck with difficult emotions and feelings. Maybe life threw obstacles in your way that turned your world upside-down. Sometimes, the obstacles can even come from inside in the form of negative, critical, anxious, or depressed thoughts and feelings. All this can keep you from connecting with others, making decisions, doing daily life activities, feeling confident about yourself, or finding meaning in life.

I believe that each us carries inherent goodness inside of us, and sometimes we can become stuck. As a therapist, I see my role as creating a space where you can feel supported to explore the parts of you that are hurting and also to nurture your own inner compassion and wisdom. Working from a non-pathologizing approach, I believe that all behaviour meets a need. The work of therapy is to develop a deeper understanding of what purpose protective mechanisms like addiction, anxiety, and self-harm have played in your life, and what you need to feel supported to grow and change.

I'm here to help. Life has many challenges with all the emotion, even fears and worries that come with them. Navigating through stress, anxiety or low mood is something we all do at one time or another, but sometimes it helps to have some assistance in that process. Our goal in therapy is to improve your coping skills and overall well-being. With that, I am a firm believer in the need for an individualized journey in therapy as opposed to a one-size fits all cookbook approach. This is about you and your life. It's deeper than some technique or strategy. Therapy is founded on the relationship we build and the dynamics of it.

I see my role as helping people find their way through mental health challenges, challenges with family relationships or with work, struggles with chronic illness, loss and grief, or through life transitions to see their highest potential.

At the end of therapy clients typically report that they are more compassionate with themselves, more able to clearly express their wishes to themselves and others, more willing to take risks and make mistakes, and more accepting that life is difficult but also of great value. Their lives are better aligned with what matters to them. The process can be quicker than you'd expect. It's about moving things out of the way, like difficult emotions, or thoughts and behaviors that are no longer serving you. The assumption is that everything you need is already within you, it just needs space to grow.

I’m a queer, non-binary therapist who works at the intersection of queerness, neurodivergence, trauma, and geek culture. If you’ve ever felt “too much,” “too weird,” or like you had to shrink parts of yourself in other clinical spaces, you deserve a therapist who welcomes your whole self, the tender parts, the fierce parts, the playful parts, and the parts that speak in fandom references, movie quotes and memes.
Clients come to me because I work in a collaborative, curiosity-led, and non-pathologizing way. If you’re looking for a therapeutic space where your complexity is celebrated, you're in the right place.

At different points in life, it’s common to feel overwhelmed, confused, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward. These experiences can build over time, leaving you feeling disconnected from your usual sense of calm, clarity, or confidence. When life feels this way, having a space where your inner experience is met with genuine curiosity, understanding, and compassion, rather than pressure or judgment, can help you make sense of what’s happening inside, build resilience, move foward and better cope with future obstacles.

Hi, I’m Elizabeth, and I support teens, adults, first responders and veterans as they navigate trauma, grief, anxiety, life transitions, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and more. I welcome individuals from all walks of life, with a particular passion for working with survivors of narcissistic abuse and adverse childhood experiences. Trauma lives in both the mind and body, shaping how you see yourself and the world around you. Therapy offers a safe space to begin untangling those patterns and can help you move beyond the weight of the past—opening the door to a life with more ease, clarity, and harmony.
