Accepting New Clients in person and virtually. Do you feel disheartened by your current circumstances? Maybe you’ve lost that spark of enthusiasm for your career, or stress from work is spilling into relationships with family and friends. From a lack of motivation to complete burnout, the stress of balancing work and personal life can feel overwhelming. You know you have more to offer the world but don’t know where to start. The courage and direction you need is within you, and I can help you explore the small shifts, or big changes, you can make to rediscover your purpose and move forward with confidence.

You may be part of the sandwich generation—raising your own children while also supporting aging parents. You’re juggling competing needs, expectations, and emotions, often feeling stretched thin, guilty, or overwhelmed. Family roles are shifting, boundaries feel blurred, and old patterns resurface under stress. You may be managing caregiving decisions, conflict with siblings or parents, and the daily demands of parenting, all while your own needs are pushed aside. You want balance, clarity, and healthier ways to support everyone without burning out or losing yourself.

My work so far spans individuals & couples across diverse relationship structures, identities, and life experiences.
If you’re here, there’s a good chance you're feeling overwhelmed by the sheer volume of choices available—scrolling through bio after bio, seeing similar phrases, acronyms, and promises over and over. After awhile, it can all start sounding the same: EFT, EMDR, IFS. And while I do use these approaches, I want to slow this down for a moment. Just as important as HOW I work is how it feels for you to sit across from me. Feeling safe, understood, and comfortable matters more than any acronym—and the only real way to know if that’s there is to actually meet. No pressure, just a chance to connect, ask questions, and see if we're a fit.

One million Canadian men suffer from major depressive disorder each year. Three of every four completed suicides in Canada are by men. The prevalence of alcohol use disorder is twice as high in men with another mental health diagnosis than in the general population. One third of Canadian men worry that talking about mental health at work could put their job at risk. Men are just as likely as women to have mental health issues yet are far less likely to utilize traditional mental health services. Men are more likely to believe that mental health services are difficult to access, ineffective and invasive. At Cogent, Ontario’s new mental health clinic focussed solely on supporting men, we’re changing that.

When you’re carrying more than anyone can see—living with fear, tension, or instability in your daily life while old trauma still lives inside you, —I sit with you with the kind of compassion that comes from both clinical training and lived understanding of how vulnerable healing can be. I work with violence against women, complex trauma and suicidal ideation to help heal your experiences that are impacting the present moment. As a therapist and disability rights advocate/educator, I understand barriers and stigma. Together, we can create a space where your story is believed, your pain is honoured, and healing feels and is possible.

Feeling overwhelmed and putting heart racing pressure on yourself to be a version of you that you think you "should be" is a slippery slope that can leave you feeling depleted, irritable and full of shame. It's important to understand our emotions to know what to do with them and with a million competing demands on your brain and your time it's hard to take a breath to figure it out! The thought that we don't have it all together when it seems like everyone else has all the things figured out makes to you want to hide in your bed tucked under the blankets (even though sleep is a dream) stuck in a nasty spiral of failure.

Marriage Counselling
How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.

How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.

Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.

Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
