I have many years of experience helping adults, teens and families in crisis.
I work with people who feel weighed down by trauma, anxiety, and the long-term impact of carrying too much for too long. Many of my clients are first responders, frontline workers, or those navigating high-pressure lives, people who are used to holding it all together, but are finding it harder to manage alone.
Our work begins by slowing down and making sense of what you’ve been carrying, the stress, the emotions, the survival strategies that may have once helped but now feel heavy or limiting. Together, we’ll look at what’s shaped you, what feels stuck, and what needs space to heal.

My ideal client is someone who feels stuck in patterns of disconnection,whether in their relationship, or within themselves. They may struggle with communication, trust, or navigating sexuality, or they may feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or insomnia that keeps them from feeling fully present. What they want most is to feel understood, connected, and capable of change. Their goals are to build healthier relationships, develop a stronger sense of self, and create balance in their lives. They seek therapy because they’re ready to move toward a more authentic, fulfilling way of living and want to be supported fully along the way.

Welcoming new clients! Like the transition from fall to winter, we all go through seasons that threaten our livelihood and shake us from thriving to dormancy. This often leaves us questioning our meaning and purpose. Your experience may be a devastating loss, lack of energy, motivation, and enjoyment in activities and people that once brought you joy or physical and psychological restlessness. It is difficult in such states to understand how flourishing is possible. However, there is hope! Just as winter gives way to spring showers and new life springs forth to flourishing, neither is your situation hopeless; you can thrive again.

Are you a woman who's strong, capable, and appears to have it all “together” — but internally you feel overextended, or unseen in your relationships.
Many women I work with are highly capable, and independent. But the qualities that help them be successful at work are killing their relationships. At home you might have the impulse to continue making all the decisions on your own. You're afraid to let go of control and unable to rest.
This is not a character flaw. It is a nervous system shaped by attachment experiences and a mind shaped by beliefs and misconceptions about the opposite sex.

Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioural therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication. Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.
How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it’s important to understand a therapist’s treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s also important to consider a therapist’s training when seeking care. Therapists in Canada hold various licenses depending on their training and provincial requirements. Common therapy credentials include Registered Social Workers (RSW), Registered Psychotherapists, and Certified Canadian Counsellors (CCC). Psychologists (PhD or PsyD) receive additional doctoral-level training and may focus on assessments or more specialized therapeutic approaches. All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.
How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
