Hi there! I am Shirley, a Doctoral level Registered Psychotherapist and Supervisor with 25 yrs' experience. I work well with people who feel misunderstood elsewhere, who want a direct but caring approach. My background includes a meandering path, with participation in the Arts/Health/Fitness. I supervise an amazing team who have trained in evidence-based practices including mature Psychotherapists and a Nurse/Social Worker. We often see clients who are are intelligent, & creative, with diverse ethnicity or lifestyles. We welcome LGBT2SQ+ clients. Our fees are related to level of experience of the therapist.

I do not have an ideal client, as every single client is treated as a unique individual who shows their vulnerability and seeks empathy and support in a non-judgemental space.

For the past few years, I’ve had the pleasure of helping individuals improve their mental health through goal-focused collaboration. You may be going through a time in your life right now which is leaving you feeling unhappy, or stuck in a cycle you don't know how to break. As a Psychotherapist, I endeavor to use my skills, and the knowledge I continue to acquire to help people lead more satisfying lives. I use a client-centered and judgment-free approach and work with you to develop new skills to meet your therapeutic goals.

Finding a therapist who gets you makes a big difference. Together, we can explore your challenges, and figure out what makes life happy and meaningful to you. We can work on recognizing and breaking out of patterns that no longer serve you, building new skills, and developing deeper, more meaningful relationships with others, as well as compassion and appreciation for yourself. My approach incorporates evidence-based therapy models including Internal Family Systems, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness, and Expressive Arts Therapy.

My ideal client is willing to engage in self-reflection, explore the deeper existential issues related to his/her predicament, and discover the pathways of actualizing his/her potential and dream. Such a client can be a new college graduate struggling for a better understanding of her self-identity or a senior questioning his life's meaning. The issues I am best suited to addressing are both the dark sides of the human condition-such as depression, anxiety, anger, loss, suffering, and death-and the bright sides of personal growth and flourishing.

No wait list—Navigating life’s transitions as a teen or young adult can unleash a torrent of internal dialogue. Outwardly, you might seem fine, but internally, you may feel close to collapse.

You may even feel that your struggles aren’t significant enough for therapy. Drawing from my personal and professional experience, I specialize in helping you dismantle these barriers. Together, we'll explore every concern, validating your feelings and guiding you towards resilience and authentic self-discovery.

Hidden stress, untreated trauma, fears, long term anxiety and depression can easily cause psychical illness. Bodily signs can be different according to gender and age. Unwrapping those hidden factors can help women with pelvic pain, irregular menstrual cycles, infertility, lack of desire, constipation or sexual difficulties. Erection problems, sex life changes or even an overactive bladder can be physical symptoms of hidden stress for men. Children often experience bed wetting, stomach pain, constipation or voiding difficulties without any medical conditions. My speciality is to help in these psychosomatic conditions.
