At times, we can all feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or just plain stuck. You might find yourself feeling numb, anxious, low in self-worth, or caught in patterns that are hard to break. Maybe it's difficult to feel truly connected to yourself, your body, your relationships, or the world around you. I work with people at all stages of their journey to help rebuild those connections and move toward a more grounded, meaningful life. Whether you're navigating trauma, anxiety, grief, or just a sense that things aren’t quite right, I offer a supportive space to explore what’s going on and co-create a path forward.

Are you finding everything too stressful right now? Is that showing up as anxiety, insomnia, emotional reactivity, memory or concentration issues? Are you feeling foggy or edgy? The last few years have been tough. In my practice I use more traditional talk therapy while also working directly with your neurophysiology. Neurofeedback actively helps your brain rewire its stress patterns and I use Deep Brain Reorienting and Brainspotting to get to the root of an issue without overwhelm or emotional flooding. If talk therapy alone has not given you what you needed, perhaps more directly accessing your neurophysiology will!

Hi, I’m Abby. If your brain doesn’t work like everyone else’s, you’ve probably spent a lot of energy trying to make it fit. I work with neurodivergent folks, including those with ADHD—who are juggling overwhelm, anxiety, or feeling like they’re constantly “too much” or “not enough.” Whether you’re trying to build better routines, navigate relationships, or just feel a bit more regulated day-to-day, therapy can help. I offer a space that’s affirming, collaborative, and totally judgment-free, where you don’t have to mask or explain every part of yourself.

There are moments when we may feel alone in what we’re carrying. When our circumstances consistently fail to meet our needs, feelings of frustration can naturally arise. In session with me, I take on a holistic approach to your life. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to openly discuss what you are going through and the goals/dreams you wish to move closer to. I often consider myself like a coach on a team. I will always be in your corner, cheering you on, but that doesn't mean that I am not going to help push you towards the goals that you set for yourself. When you leave the session, I want you to feel understood.

I help adults and couples untangle the deep roots of developmental trauma, complex PTSD, addictions, mood instability, and personality challenges. Many grew up in environments where they had to survive, not thrive—leaving them stuck, dysregulated, or disconnected. I also work with first responders carrying the weight of high-stress roles. My approach is relational and trauma-informed, offering a grounded space to heal emotional patterns, relationship ruptures, and identity struggles from the inside out.

From time to time, we all face challenges that can be overwhelming. Sometimes these challenges are situational, but they can also be the result of our lived experience(s) over time. Often they manifest as anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and self harm. These manifestations can lead to further challenges such as job loss, family conflict, isolation, and addiction. Although we may flounder or experience failure, we can develop the strategies needed to live a flourishing life. Integrative therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Positive Psychotherapy, and Solution Focused Therapy teach us how to live well.

Hi, I’m Olivia! I work with teens and adults who are trying to keep up on the outside while feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or hard on themselves underneath. Maybe you are used to pushing through, staying disciplined, and meeting expectations, but lately it feels like too much. For athletes, students, and high achievers, stress can show up as perfectionism, overthinking, emotional shutdown, or feeling like your worth depends on how well you perform. Therapy can be a place to step out of that pressure and figure out what is actually going on.

Over the last 35 years I have worked with individuals and couples guiding, teaching and helping them by using an eclectic approach, and a variety of different types of modalities depending on the particular needs of my clients. I also provide family mediation and relationship counselling for couples who have split. I am a sex therapist, working with all couples and individuals. I specialize in many areas, as I believe all issues are connected, so to treat problems in isolation is unrealistic and can be short lived.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Counsellors
Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.

Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behaviour and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.

What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behaviour, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioural change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behaviour; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
