I am a registered Social Worker with over 30 years of experience helping children, youth, couples and families, through my work at the Centre for Addiction & Mental Health (CAMH)- Canada’s largest psychiatric hospital.
The reasons for pursuing counselling are as unique as the individual seeking it out. There could be questions around an emerging identity, a difficult relationship or social issue, a separation/divorce or a child’s school difficulties or emotional distress. Whatever the presenting issue is for clients, there is most often over- whelming feelings of worry, sadness and confusion.

Imagine a space where your experiences are understood within their cultural, personal, emotional, and social context, and where therapy is a collaborative process rather than something done to you. This work is grounded in partnership. I do not take away your agency. I work to help strengthen it. As stress, anxiety, life transitions, loss, trauma, or long-standing patterns begin to impact your well-being, therapy becomes a proactive and intentional path toward personal growth and healing. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices that support emotional regulation, self-awareness, and sustainable growth.

Hi, I'm Liane! My practice largely centers on helping people strengthen their relationship with themselves and others. Together, we can help you identify and overcome patterns that no longer serve you. Some of the topics that often come up in-session are boundary setting/assertiveness, nervous system regulation, communication skills, co-dependency, and perfectionism. I work with many people who are working through relational trauma (anxious, avoidant, and disorganized attachment styles). I can also support you in overcoming fears with exposure therapy. I have a holistic approach, incorporating both somatic work and talk therapy.

Early life experiences can shape the way we think and feel about ourselves, and influence our way of being in the world. To get through difficult times, we put strategies in place, and while they're helpful at the time, they can long overstay their welcome and usefulness. Psychotherapy can help make sense of what was, what is and what's possible, making space for positive change. It can assist people struggling with depression, anxiety, anger or simply being stuck, by bringing awareness to the patterns and issues that have been standing in the way of living a fuller life.

My approach is deeply influenced by Internal Family Systems (IFS), which views each of us as a system of parts and a Self, with the inherent ability to heal through connection.
As a therapist—and a mother of four—I bring both grounded practicality and deep reverence for the healing process. Our work will be collaborative: we’ll create meaning together, whether you’re focusing on specific goals or simply beginning to untangle your experience

If you’re here, something inside you is ready for a change. I know starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if you are stuck in old patterns, struggling with intense emotions, or facing challenges in your relationships. You might find yourself people-pleasing, feeling anxious or stressed, or carrying self-doubt that keeps you from moving forward. The truth is, it's okay not to have all the answers right now. Therapy can be a safe space to figure it out.
