Hi, I’m Kelsey.
I’m a mother of three, a spouse, a sister, a friend, and a community advocate. Each of these roles has taught me about love, resilience, messiness, and growth — and all of that is at the heart of how I walk alongside those I support.
Therapy has been deeply transformative for me. It has — and continues to — support me through the many layers of motherhood, while helping me reconnect with myself in ways I didn’t know I needed. That lived experience is what led me to this work, and my hope is to offer that kind of space to you.

The quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives. People seek couples therapy to address various relationship issues. They may want to deepen or rekindle a connection, address intimacy concerns, define healthy boundaries, break old maladaptive relationship patterns, improve two-way communication, minimize fighting, or heal from emotional or physical betrayal. Couples tend to become disconnected when they feel misunderstood, lack vulnerability, show contempt, fight, feel confused, or be overly critical. Any of these feelings can pull couples apart and couples therapy can help.

You’ve carried a heavy load for a long time—holding it together, pushing through pain, staying strong even when you feel like you’re falling apart inside. No matter what you do, it never feels “enough.” You second-guess yourself, replay conversations in your head, and sometimes wonder if you’re the problem. The people around you might not even notice how much you’re struggling because you’ve become so good at hiding it. Inside, though, it feels heavy—like you’re stuck in a loop of self-criticism, sadness, or emptiness that you just can’t shake.

Something stopped working. You’re not sure what exactly, but the ways you used to get through the day aren’t cutting it anymore. You probably have good insight into yourself. What you haven’t been able to figure out is how to actually change things, or shift how things feel in your body, relationships, and life. That gap is where I work. My approach is slow and thoughtful, drawing largely from Internal Family Systems. Sessions tend to be more curious than directive. I’m interested in helping you explore whatever comes up, including the parts of you that protect and the parts that are tired.

We learn how to be in this world and be a person from the moment we are born. When we are struggling, suffering, and facing challenges in our lives - whether it is anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, overwhelm, or things we wish we could change - it’s because we've adopted ways of being that are now habits that can be difficult to alter. But we are whole, just as we are! We grow in changing how we respond to ourselves and the experiences and events in our lives. Having someone to walk alongside you on the journey as you learn which habits or outdated beliefs no longer work can support you as you make changes.

This hectic and at times uncertain life can feel overwhelming. When we lack grounding and direction it can feel like we will lose control of our emotions and ourselves. I practice counseling from a non-judgmental and acceptance based perspective where we can use your strengths, past lived experiences and new skills developed during the therapeutic relationship to move through the hard times and achieve your goals. My approach is to support you to identify the habits and patterns in relationships with yourself and others that may not be serving you and with this new awareness move towards your valued goals. EFT and EMDR Certified.

Life can be hard. We're here to help. Struggling? Stuck? Overwhelmed? Looking for help moving forward? We can support you in moving toward your goals. We have experience in providing both brief and longer-term treatment that is evidence-based (i.e., shown to work). We're less interested in labels or in figuring out what’s “broken”, and instead focus on helping you to feel centred and "on track". We try to help you within your timeframe. We see the psychologist and client both as “real people”, having “real” conversations, about “real life”, to make real changes and real movement toward goals that are really important to you.

You're fed up and frustrated. No matter how hard you try you feel like you're just not good enough. You may find yourself saying “yes” when you want to say “no,” replaying interactions in your mind, or feeling like you’re constantly managing how others feel. You get angry quickly, can't control your emotions and have been called "oversensitive." You care a lot about other people, you try your best all the time, but you are left feeling overwhelmed, alone, and exhausted.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone and these patterns are more common than you might think.

Do you and your partner keep having the same arguments without ever feeling heard or understood?

If you want calmer conversations, stronger communication, and a relationship that feels more secure and connected, therapy can help you build the skills to get there.

Loneliness, Social Skills, Social Anxiety -Shannon

Maybe you can be in a room full of people and still feel completely alone. You want connection, but social situations feel exhausting or frightening, so you hold back, replay what you said for hours, and wonder why making friends seems so much easier for everyone else. Loneliness can creep in after a move, a loss, a season of putting everyone else first, or years of quietly keeping people at arm's length to stay safe. It doesn't mean something is wrong with you. Connection is both a need and a skill, and both can be rebuilt.

You need an affirming therapy space where your identity is the context, not the issue.
Where it's acknowledged that your lived experiences intersect with who you are or who you want to be. You need a place to work through these experiences and emotions, so that your feelings can be processed deeply and you feel better about yourself. A place where you are free to explore and identify your place in relationships and community, to find yourself and your voice. And guess what? You may have found it!
