"Do you struggle with your emotions, mental or physical health, or in relationships? Perhaps you are dealing with a challenging or traumatic situation in life, at work or school? Or you are feeling a more indescribable, general sense of instability but you don't understand why? First off, let me say you are not alone. Nobody is immune to developing life problems, experiencing traumatic incidences, struggling with life transitions, or developing mental or physical health issues that are difficult to cope with. Nobody is immune to times of feeling overwhelmed, over-stressed or confused; in fact, it is not all that uncommon."

"I have a passion to work with students, adults, couples, and adolescents who are seeking change from challenges in their life. From anxiety and depression, to coping with life changes, grief, trauma, suicide, crisis, or low self-esteem, I believe that every person can experience improvement in their situation. I apply that hope to how I approach each person's story; I believe that there is hope in what may seem like a hopeless situation. I also believe that some of my work, such as premarital counselling, can be preventative so that we can take steps to build resilience."

"I work with adults and youth who are feeling distressed by issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, workplace stress, family conflict, loss and grief, blended family issues, physical illness, and self-esteem. Often these difficulties are rooted in life experiences that have contributed to feelings of sadness, anger, self-doubt, shame, and fear. In our work together you can learn to understand and change repetitive patterns of thinking and behavior, and learn to be more compassionate with yourself. We will also identify new skills and strategies that can help you to make positive changes in your life"

"I consider it a special privilege to be able to work with individuals, couples and families as they try to navigate the challenges that life can bring. I do not see myself as the 'expert' in a person's life or experience but work with my clients to help them to break down the barriers that can get in the way of being the person, couple or family that they would prefer to be. My approach is collaborative and I believe that a strong therapeutic connection creates a climate for change that can have lasting results."

"My work with individuals and families began over twenty-five years ago. I have a Master of Divinity degree from Tyndale Seminary, Toronto, where I majored in Individual, Couple, and Family Therapy. In addition to being a therapist, I am also a certified teacher in Ontario with a Specialist in Special Education. As a professional counsellor I have helped people with: loss and grief, couple conflict and communication, stress management, addiction, mood and anxiety disorders, parenting, family dynamics, trauma and abuse, life transitions, and self-esteem. An area of interest is working with families who have children with developmental differences."

"I work with adults who are feeling distressed by the many issues that we commonly experience in life, such as depression, anxiety, family conflict, work stress, loss, grief, divorce/separation, anger, abuse, sexuality, trauma, illness and life transitions."

"I work with clients who are dealing with issues such as grief, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, emotion regulation, motor vehicle accidents (MVA's), trauma, communication, relationships as well as career and life transitions. My clients are ready to engage and challenge themselves while being vulnerable in a safe and nonjudgmental space, where together we will help you to be the truest version of yourself in the hope of fostering mental wellness."

"Hard-wired into every human being is the deep need for connection. Wonderful and meaningful at times, relationships can be equally exasperating and painful! Helping individuals and couples to develop healthy relationships is my passion. With many years of experience, I have also helped clients of all ages and backgrounds in the areas of anxiety, depression, parenting and marriage, self-esteem, shame, abuse, trauma, sexuality, stage of life adjustments, grieving/loss, emotional awareness and regulation, OCD, PTSD, and other life stressors. I also enjoy journeying with clients who would like to explore matters of faith in therapy. "

"My background is in Counselling Psychology. I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor and a Registered Psychotherapist. I'm passionate about helping children and adults to address issues that have a negative impact on their mental health. I focus on building strong therapeutic relationships and use a goal-oriented approach to support clients in making progress that best fits their needs. I believe strongly in the effectiveness of wrap-around support and treatment planning. With approval of the client, this sometimes involves working with their family doctor or additional service providers when appropriate."

"When we’re caught in the struggle we can feel hopeless. We may notice things that use to help aren’t helping. We may have lost motivation to try, as a result of this. It’s common to get caught in the suggestions of others, or online searching for something that may help. We may not know where to start but know, we don’t want to keep feeling/thinking/living as is. Therapy services can help us find a starting point, then develop a plan and act on making change, all while supported by a regulated professional in the field. "

"I work with clients who are struggling to gain a sense of control over their lives. The most common phrase I hear a new client say is, "I know what to do to meet my goals, I just can't seem to do it." Emotional issues such as depression, anxiety, and trauma commonly manifest as behavioural concerns such as addictions (food, alcohol and drugs, shopping, internet, etc.), trouble managing anger, relationship issues, and/or a general lack of motivation. Together, the client and I work to determine their unique pattern of behaviours with the goal of making meaningful and lasting changes. "

"Every individual I have the opportunity to meet carriers with them a collection of unique experiences, thoughts, beliefs, values and goals. As humans, we all have periods in our lives when we think, “things are not how they should or ought to be” and this may lead us to a place where we may not be feeling like ourselves. I genuinely believe that you, as a client, are the expert at your own life, but sometimes, even experts can use a little fine tuning- this is one of the functions of therapy! I promise to provide you with the highest quality service that it tailored to your specific needs. "
