"My intention for you, as a therapist, is to be with you with compassion and skill to help you through life's difficult times and to help you reach your greater potential. We will work together, in a supportive environment, to increase resilience and wisdom so you can be better able to access, communicate and actualize your inner needs. Most of the clients I see are burdened by anxiety, depression, relationship problems and/or trauma. I have resources and strategies that address these all too common concerns."

"Broken relationships can mend. You CAN have healthy, fulfilling and deep connections. Relationships can breakdown, be it a slow drifting apart due to busy schedules, parenting, balancing work and life, or with choices that have been made that have hurt deeply. What was once a source of happiness and pleasure may become the very source of your deepest pain. The person who was once your most trusted ally and friend, now seems more like a stranger. How does one work through this and regain connection? Couples counselling can help! A therapist helps couples hear each other and be understood in a safe environment. "

"I am a clinical social worker providing individual, couple and family counselling for a wide array of concerns. The foundation of my practice is client-centred and relational. I firmly believe that for therapy to be most effective, a relationship must be established between the client and counsellor. I have 18 years of experience working with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship issues, parenting skills, aging, and health concerns"

"Insight and understanding are crucial components to living a meaningful, fulfilling, and rich life. My approach is intended to help you achieve insight, make change in your life that you find meaningful and significant, and heal from current or past experiences that are affecting you. I have worked to help people overcome a wide range of challenges, including stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, emotional difficulties, relationship frustrations, grief, and loss. I feel honoured to work with individuals on their healing journey, and am humbled by the strength and courage they show in choosing to pursue healing for themselves."

"Life is messy and not always easy to navigate. It is easy to beat ourselves up, focus on all of the "shoulda-woulda-coulda's", but it is difficult to see the frame when you are part of the picture. Kindsight Counselling is about finding a soft place to land within the storm and learning how to be gentle with yourself and thrive in the face of adversity. My passion for understanding your personal experiences allows me to provide compassionate and empathic support, while helping you overcome barriers and live your life with courage and joy."

"Is your child now a stranger? Your once sweet baby grew up a bit and is now distant, aggressive, private, and a stranger. You never thought you'd see the day they'd cuss at you. It feels like a constant cycle of arguments, groundings, and harsh conversations that aren't working. They're yelling at you, you're yelling at them, and parenting just hurts right now. Nobody told you it would get this hard. Maybe it has escalated to drugs, gangs, and violence. All you know is you're afraid, frustrated, and panicked. You want your child back."

"*NOW ACCEPTING CLIENTS BY PHONE AND VIDEO* At Vitality Counselling Services I believe healing is possible, and that negative life experiences do not have to go on controlling the future. I offer client-centred counselling services to individuals (adult, children and youth), couples and families. Whether it is negotiating difficult life situations, dealing with anxiety (worry/fear), depression, anger, trauma, stress, relationships, parenting challenges, emotional management, low self-esteem or other life related issues, I will adapt my approach to meet your personal goals."

"Does your relationship lack the passion that you wish it could have? Are you wanting to develop more self-esteem, communication skills and confidence? Do you desire a flourishing, fulfilling life but don't know how to create it? Maybe you are feeling stuck, stressed or frustrated. Whether your story is one that includes a mental health diagnosis or not, and whether you are looking for therapy by yourself or with your partner, there is so much possibility for momentum towards the things you desire."

"Have you become aware of unhealthy patterns in your life preventing you from realizing your potential? Do you tend to find yourself in the same circumstances/relationships that you vowed not to repeat? I practice psychodynamic psychotherapy and together we can explore the underlying issues preventing you from moving forward in your personal and professional life."

"Everyone assumes there's nothing wrong and that you're "handling things." Your inside voice paints a completely different story. You're trying to move forward with your life and enjoy the experience of bonding with your kids and family, but it seems like the past won't stop affecting you. There is a never-ending internal battle fighting to keep you in the present rather than reliving distressing memories. It feels difficult being your true self, when symptoms like flashbacks, withdrawal, anger, and anxiety keep taking over. "

"At this time of change and transition, there may be challenges you didn't foresee. It’s my belief that an individual’s capacity to cope with challenges in the present is affected by his/her/their past. I meet with youth ages 16+ and adults to “dig deeper” to understand the roots of challenges in order to help redirect their branches."

"As your therapist, I am here to create a comfortable, safe and authentic space for individuals to be vulnerable, share their stories, and sort through the hard stuff that comes with being human. Together, we will work to develop an understanding of your experiences and how this is impacting your ability to live a fulfilling life, as well as develop your confidence and ability to manage and cope with life difficulties. I am here to be a collaborative guide in supporting you where you are in life, and where you are hoping to go."

"Living with a dark, stormy cloud over your head is NO way to live. If your cloud is taking away from your personal life or career, you may feel burdened, alone or misunderstood. It doesn't have to be that way. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Interventions relieve anxiety, depression & stress, restore confidence, develop effective family relationships, and unlock personal potential. The solutions to your problems might be closer than you think. Why wait?"

"Addiction affects all areas of peoples lives. Addiction is a bio, physical , mental and spiritual issue which needs to be repaired to give people an improvement in their daily tasks. There are a great number of proven methods to help someone suffering from a chemical addiction. I will give resources and options based on the clients needs to provide support to navigate these options. My services are client based and best practises are in place."

"I have a passion for helping people improve their psychological well-being, which includes improved coping with life stressors/experiences but also personal healing and growth. I have extensive clinical training and experience with a broad range of psychological issues and treatment modalities. I am certified with the College of Psychologists of Ontario in the areas of Clinical and Counselling Psychology (both assessment and treatment) for Adults, Couples, Adolescents and Children. I provide assessment, counselling, and therapy to address a wide range of issues, and my unique treatment approach allows for the integration of spiritual issues into psychological therapy."

"Through my work I believe that compassion and empathy are two of the most important qualities when seeking support. From time to time life can feel overwhelming and heavy, due to many of the experiences that we are faced with from Life Transitions, Substance Use (or Abuse), Gambling/Gaming Concerns, Trauma Events, or Mental Health Concerns; I am here to support you through it. I provide both individual and family therapy."

"I offer Trauma Therapy for survivors of childhood abuse who have experienced sexual, physical or emotional abuse, neglect and/or addictions. Trauma Therapy is not an easy or short process. I share skills and knowledge needed to begin walking alongside your trauma, instead of against it. As every person is unique, my therapeutic approach will be different for every individual. Trauma can make us feel powerless. Healing our trauma, takes our power back. I am queer-identified, non-monogamy/poly friendly and strive to offer an open-minded, comfortable, safe(r) space to process traumas. Evening and Saturday appointments available."

"You know how sometimes in life we feel like we should just know how to deal? Well I have extensive experience working with people who have felt that way, and who feel like they are struggling sometimes just to make it through their days. I work with issues that are sometimes too difficult to talk about such as: professional burnout, vicarious trauma/compassion fatigue, caregiver burnout, relationship conflict that impacts personal and professional well-being, even suicidal thoughts. I am able to help to understand, and most importantly, help guide and support change in functioning and behaviour."

"Life can be overwhelming at times and it often takes courage and bravery to open the door to something new and to something different. Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed or disconnected or maybe you need to better understand and work through what is happening in your life right now. I specialize in supporting individuals with eating disorders, body image issues, anxiety and self-esteem, addictions, relationship issues, and trauma. Together we will explore what is happening for you interpersonally and relationally, while making sense of the feelings, thoughts, and behaviours that are holding you back or causing you emotional pain."
