On paper, you may look like you have it completely together. But internally, the pressure to be the perfect mom, partner, and professional is making you feel like you're constantly underwater. Most of the women I work with are the "reliable ones"; the ones carrying the mental load for everyone else while secretly feeling like they’re one more task away from a breaking point. Whether you’re navigating the heavy identity shifts of motherhood, the pressure of a high-stakes career, or the lingering echoes of past trauma, you don't have to carry the weight alone.

Healing isn’t about “fixing” yourself; it’s about reconnecting with your strengths and finding new ways to move forward. Every person carries a story, and sometimes that story feels heavy, tangled, or unfinished. My role is to help you make sense of it, find your voice, and create new chapters that feel more aligned with who you are and where you want to go. I believe therapy works best when it honours your story while also empowering you to become the narrator of your own journey. Your story matters, and you don’t have to walk this path alone. Reach out today to begin your next journey. I work with children, teens, and adults.

Being a therapist is tough on a good day! Are you looking for a safe and supportive space to discuss complex cases, ethical dilemmas, or personal growth as a clinician?

Are you looking for individual, dyadic or group supervision?

Perhaps you can pinpoint the exact event when things changed, or perhaps it happened over time. Either way, you feel stuck, alone or like you don’t know who you are anymore. You constantly feel overwhelmed and you find yourself unable to focus or relax. Your reactions can feel overly intense: sometimes you know what triggered you, sometimes you don’t, and yet other times it feels like everything is a trigger. Maybe this brings up beliefs of “something’s wrong with me” or “I’m broken.” You find yourself trying to numb those memories, thoughts and feelings with anything that can distract you. But this is not how you want things to be.

We all know life can be difficult. At some point in our lives, everyone experiences challenges and could benefit from working through them with the help of someone else. For over 25 years, I have supported individuals with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, parenting, life transitions, compassion fatigue, burnout, and grief related to sudden death, suicide or homicide. Supporting growth from a place of loss or crisis is my passion and I believe in working with someone else has the ability to make any struggle more manageable.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Counsellors
Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behaviour and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behaviour, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioural change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behaviour; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
