I work with couples to help them shift patterns, move away from having the same argument, heal from infidelity, navigate difficult life circumstances and to communicate in healthier ways. I use the Gottman and Emotion Focused therapy approaches to help couples make these changes. I also support people experiencing grief and loss, helping them process emotions and find ways to cope. The pain of grief can be intense and overwhelming. I also work with parents navigating different challenges, and many people managing neurodivergence and any difficulties it causes in their life.

You may be struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, burnout, emotional overwhelm, or life transitions. You may find it difficult to express your needs, set boundaries, or understand why certain patterns keep repeating in your relationships and sense of self. Early experiences, attachment wounds, and intergenerational patterns can shape how you relate to yourself and others. I work with adults and couples to explore these patterns with compassion, develop deeper self-understanding, and create more fulfilling connections.

Therapy can provide a safe and supportive space to begin healing, rediscover strengths, and move toward meaningful change.

You may be someone others lean on at work, at home, or both. On the outside, you appear capable and composed, but internally you may feel anxious, mentally overloaded, irritable, exhausted, or disconnected. Overthinking, perfectionism, work pressure, relationship strain, or parenting demands may be making it hard to switch off and be present. I help adults: particularly, men, professionals, leaders, entrepreneurs, and fathers, understand the patterns keeping them stuck and develop practical ways to feel calmer, clearer, and more in control.

Accepting new clients at clinic! Being in a culture that asks you to shrink yourself, your needs, and your beliefs can be tiresome. This may be impacting how you experience your mood, body, food, relationships or the spaces you occupy. There may be ways that you protect the more tender parts of you that get in the way of being more in line with your values, and finally having the relationship with yourself and others that you have always wanted. You might be feeling overwhelmed by changes you need to make and simply don't know where to begin. You deserve to live a rich, expansive life, and to have deep, meaningful connections.

Hi, I'm Hao, a bilingual (English/Chinese) therapist and member of the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ community. If you've turned to ChatGPT for clarity while struggling in silence, you're not alone. For many people dealing with anxiety, depression, behaviour, self-esteem issues, or relationship struggles, unmet needs and long-held beliefs can keep them feeling stuck. You may spend lots of time trying to understand yourself, replaying conversations, preparing for every outcome, or searching for the "right" answer, yet still find yourself questioning whether you're doing enough and feeling exhausted by the pressure to get things right.

My aim is to provide each and every client with the support and guidance they are looking for by creating individualized treatment plans. Life's struggles come in many shapes and sizes and focusing on areas in which we have control is a great stepping stone to formulate the life we want to be living, instead of getting stuck in the usual negative thinking that many of us get caught in from time to time.

I work best with people who find themselves upset and confused regarding how their lives got to be the way they are.

As a person and a counsellor, I believe that everyone, regardless of life circumstances, wants to feel connected and understood. Unfortunately, in today's fast-paced society, often times people do not feel heard or listened to, connected to others, and least of all understood. This being said, I believe that the relationship developed between myself and my client is the most crucial component of counselling. It is my hope that at the end of your sessions, you will develop positive coping strategies while healing unresolved feelings; but above all, that you leave feeling heard, understood and cared for.

I'm Kaitlyn, and I work with people who feel weighed down by anxiety, trauma, or major life transitions. Maybe you’ve been through something difficult and you’re still carrying it, or you notice patterns where you give too much, struggle with boundaries, and end up burned out. You might overthink, feel on edge, or doubt your worth even when you’re doing your best. These patterns can leave you feeling stuck, exhausted, and unsure how to move forward. Therapy with me is a supportive space to untangle what you’ve been carrying, build healthier habits and coping tools, and start feeling more confident, steady, and in control.
