Affordable Therapy, Immediate Availability - You may feel overwhelmed by school, work, or major life changes.

Therapy provides a safe and supportive space for us to work through your concerns around aspects of your experience. The relationship between the therapist and client is based on trust, acceptance, understanding, and confidentiality. I aim to empower each client, to make choices for their own life, which serve them in the ways that they need. I practice from the biopsychosocial approach which recognizes that we all have complex factors which influence our well being. I believe each person has within, unique strengths and gifts to contribute to this world.

Maybe you’ve outgrown the coping strategies that once worked. You’re functioning, but something feels misaligned; in your relationships, your identity, or the way you respond to stress. Anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or complex family dynamics may be surfacing in new ways. I work with adults who are ready to look honestly at what isn’t working and build a version of wellness that actually fits.

I also integrate CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and trauma-focused approaches to build practical coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and support lasting change.
You might feel stuck in patterns you can’t explain- overwhelmed, anxious, triggered, or reacting in ways that don’t match who you want to be. Maybe past experiences, trauma, or difficult memories still feel close to the surface, impacting your emotions, relationships, and daily life. You’ve tried to move forward, but something keeps pulling you back. If you’re searching for EMDR therapy, trauma therapy, or support that goes deeper than surface-level coping, look no further. EMDR therapy offers a powerful, evidence-based approach to help process these experiences, allowing the brain to heal and move forward in a more adaptive way.

You might feel anxious, overwhelmed, or caught in the same struggles over and over. You may want more ease and connection, but it feels like something keeps you stuck in old patterns. Deep down, you just want to feel more grounded and free to be yourself.

I am looking for motivated clients who are willing to take action to resolve whatever needs to change in their life. My typical clients are looking for relief from stress, anxiety, depression, negative emotions, or difficult life situations. Some of them are struggling with compulsive behaviours and feel out of control. Others are in a relationship but things are not as good as they can be and they want more. Some of my clients are just looking to talk to someone who listens well, validates them and gives them another perspective. Sometimes they feel stuck and need tools, support and encouragement to help them move forward.

I draw from EFT, AEDP, CBT, DBT, ACT, and person-centered approaches to help clients better understand themselves, process emotions, and build healthier relationships with themselves and others.
I work with adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, grief, and the many stresses that come with being human. A lot of the people I connect with are so used to being there for everyone else that they don’t always notice how much they’ve been carrying themselves. On the outside, they may look like they’re functioning fine - going to work, showing up for people, getting through their day - while internally feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how things got this heavy in the first place.

I can support you in identifying your needs and goals; moving beyond the “shoulds” you tell yourself and towards self- acceptance.
Following my Honour’s Bachelor’s of Social Work and Honours Bachelor’s of Arts in psychology, my Masters of Social Work prepared me for clinical psychotherapy. I support people with concerns including anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, trauma and PTSD, life transitions, sleep habits, and more. I use evidence-based theories adapted for individual needs.

My approach is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT), DBT-informed skills, solution-focused therapy, and person-centered care.
You want to feel confident, understood, and at peace with yourself, but deep down you're struggling with anxiety, burnout, self-doubt, or the pressure of trying to be who others expect you to be. You may be someone who gives so much to others that you've lost sight of your own needs, leaving you overwhelmed, exhausted, and disconnected from yourself. It can feel like no matter how hard you try, you're never quite enough. But you're ready for change.

I specialize in offering evidence-based approaches such as Exposure and Response Prevention, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
Living a life where you're dealing with anxiety alongside symptoms of obsessions and compulsions can be quite scary. Navigating these experiences can become less intimidating when we gain an understanding of what we're going through and we have the support to take deliberate steps towards addressing it. There may be instances where those in your life don't fully understand what you are going through, leading you to keep your intrusive thoughts and compulsive urges to yourself. It's important to know that you're not alone, and that these symptoms are more common than you might realize.

Drawing from modalities including EMDR, Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems (IFS), CBT, ACT, and other evidence-based approaches, I encourage clinicians to build a flexible clinical toolbox rather than rely on a single model.
Starting your career as a therapist can feel exciting, but also overwhelming. You're balancing practicum requirements, challenging client cases, documentation, and the pressure of figuring out your own clinical style. Maybe you're second-guessing yourself after sessions, wondering if you're asking the right questions, or wishing you had a supervisor who felt approachable instead of intimidating. Supervision should be a place where you feel supported, challenged, and encouraged to grow into the therapist you want to become.

Do you feel disconnected with yourself or in your relationships? Maybe past experiences have contributed to this. Or you recognize the challenge in our tech-savvy world, to unplug and tune in to yourself and to each other. Our early and ongoing experiences with family, friends, significant other(s), etc impact how we connect and attach; they impact mental health and well-being. We are more likely to thrive when we feel safely and securely connected to another person(s). When our relationships are instead overwhelmed with tension, pain, lack of understanding, etc we often struggle to feel and manage well.

I’m a believer that there is no “one size fits all” to therapy and draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to ensure that my therapeutic approach is tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals.
My name is Janina and I’m passionate about supporting individuals and couples through life’s challenges with compassion and curiosity. With over a decade of experience in social services, I’ve supported individuals and families through a wide range of struggles, including life transitions, mental health issues, trauma, and relationship conflicts. My work in child welfare taught me how to break down complex challenges into manageable steps, especially when life feels overwhelming and the path forward seems unclear.
