Together we can unpack the layers of dust that hold you hostage. We'll discover tools for greater fulfillment in your intimate relationships along with creativity, humour, and joy. My approach is warm, compassionate and inviting. I have many years of experience providing trauma informed and evidence based therapy to individuals, couples, and teens. I believe in your strength and capacity for greater healing and growth. I specialize in Intimacy, Relationships and Sexuality.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) dedicated to supporting individuals and couples to rediscover their authentic selves and uncover the barriers that prevent deep connection with ourselves and our loved ones. I am passionate about co-creating a space with clients wherein they can explore and clarify what is and isn’t working, and how to work towards their desired changes. Using a holistic model and integrative therapeutic approach, I help clients ground themselves in the here and now and get curious about their areas of stuckness and how to forge new ways of being.

My work with clients is informed by my creative work as an artist, as well as my ongoing learning of social justice and embodied anti-oppressive therapy practices. I am inspired by a non-hierarchical approach to therapy, which means that the therapy space is a collaborative space. Growth is relational-just like in nature. Therapy is a place in which to experiment, to play, to suffer with support, and to feel the impact of being witnessed as your full self.

Navigating the challenges and stressors in our lives can difficult even in the best of times. When you are feeling overwhelmed even the smallest “bumps in the road” can feel like an unmovable mountain. Having a place to talk about those challenges can be incredibly meaningful and it can be the start to developing a healthier relationship with yourself. Therapy provides clients with the opportunity to explore their feelings and emotions and the chance to (re)discover that we are all meant for belonging, unconditional love, and significance.

Are you a lawyer or another high achieving career professional with overwhelming stress, demanding expectations, difficult relationships, and inner pressure to BE more, ACHIEVE more, and DO more? Perhaps you feel burnt out, emotionally exhausted, are constantly worrying, or never feel like you are enough. Maybe your relationships are troubled, or you hate your job. One thing is certain - you don’t want to feel this way any more. You're ready to break patterns of anxious thinking, take control of your stressors, and learn how to self-support. Its time to build healthy relationships, most importantly with yourself, and start thriving.

My ideal psychotherapy client is an individual who is motivated to explore their inner world. Someone who willing to explore, and possibly reevaluate bedrock assumptions that play a major role in influencing our current attitudes and life choices. An ideal client also recognizes that a therapist's role is not to provide answers but rather to facilitate a process of self discovery which promotes emotional growth and lays the foundation for enduring change.

Relationships should enrich your life—they should bring you more joy, depth, and safety than you’d experience without them. In my work, I know what’s at stake—I know about the comfort and vitality that secure relationships can bring us, and I know too about the fear and loneliness that we can fall into when by nature, we’ve stopped paying attention. These lows can leave us remembering our early days and wondering where we’ve gone wrong, or whether we’ve ever been right for each other from the start. I know the intense pain of losing hope.

Life is a beautiful journey filled with adversarial and memorable experiences which affect our relationships, social, spiritual, and emotional well-being. Are you experiencing challenges in your family and intimate relationships? Are you committed to creating healthier ways of communicating with yourself, partner, and children/adult-children? Are you struggling with how you manage stress, anxiety, and depression? Or just interested in having an emotional safe space to help you actualize your preferred way of being.

I’m committed to the art of listening to clients – individuals & couples. Together we can work on creating meaningful change and healing, whether for your relationship challenges, sex/intimacy matters, life changes, anxiety, anger, or depression. I used to work in family law in Ontario, and I’m a husband and father, so I’ve experienced family dynamics, conflict, and transformation. As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), completing a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, I'm qualified to practice under supervision.

I am psychologist and my areas of specialty include: sex therapy, couples therapy, mood and anxiety disorders, low self-worth, grief. As a sex therapist, I focus on a range of issues including: anxiety during sex, body image, low desire, discrepant or mismatched desire, infidelity, compulsive sexual behaviour/hypersexuality, & LGBTQ+ health. I know that it is not easy to ask for help, especially when sexual concerns are involved. Using research-informed techniques and a strengths-based approach, and with a whole lot of care and compassion, I will work with you to help you make changes that are empowering, meaningful, and lasting.

Hello! My name is Jessica (she/her), and I am a queer & neurodivergent therapist and artist. My background is in art therapy and I believe in the powerful healing that can come from expressing yourself through creation.

I am a compassionate and dedicated therapist, who uses an empathetic and strength-based approach to create a safe and non-judgemental space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings and challenges. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Queen’s University and a Master of Social Work Degree from Wilfrid Laurier University. I have supported clients navigating ADHD, adoption, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, loss, and much more.. I have a deep commitment to helping individuals and families navigate the unique journey of adoption; inspired by my own lived experience as an alumnus of foster care and an adult adoptee.

Taking steps to explore your personal issues can be challenging and overwhelming – but with the help of therapy, it can also be transformative. Are you struggling with relationships, trauma, life transitions, anxiety, or depression? Or perhaps you are having difficulty managing your emotions, and want to connect with those around you in a healthier and more fulfilling way? I provide help to individuals and couples who hope to generate change in their lives.

Does your teen have trouble dealing with their emotions? Do you wish that they talked to you more about what goes on in their lives? Perhaps you are a young adult with anxiety or depression. Does making life decisions around school, work, or relationships feel unmanageable at times? Teens and young adults have so much to deal with these days. Everyday stresses can include school, family, and friendships as well as issues around identity, seeking independence, and making important life choices. The added pressures of technology and social media can make it even more challenging to come of age today.

I am a clinical psychologist offering evidence based treatment. Explore your inner experiences in ways that will hopefully help you build compassion, inner stability, and intrinsic motivation, creating a more meaningful, rich life as well as sustain inner peace. Emotion focused therapy can help you to reduce symptoms such as anxiety and depression, and promotes the development of more satisfying ways of being with yourself and others. If you find yourself struggling with issues such as feeling stuck, not good enough, chronic emptiness, or having relationship difficulties, this approach may be helpful to you.

Supporting you through life transitions, coming to terms with previous traumas (including sexual assault), concerns related to gender and sexuality, struggling with anxiety, depression, meaning, relationship challenges, and complex grief (including childhood loss). The process is truly collaborative; we work together to consider your current patterns and explore how they may be connected to various times or parts of your life. In gaining an understanding of how you experience things and your characteristic ways of engaging with the world, treatment is tailored to work best for you and the results you'd like to see in therapy.

I work with Adolescent, Adult and Senior clients from all walks of life. Challenging life experiences can impact mental, emotional, and physical well-being. I have over 13 years of experience working as a Registered Nurse in the healthcare field. This experience gifted me with an opportunity to continue to support clients outside of the hospital setting in areas of end-of-life (palliative care), grief and loss, chronic illness and pain, psychological trauma related to conflicts of war and crisis, caregiver stress and burnout support.

Are you struggling with anxiety or depression right now? Does making even a small decision seem overwhelming? Did you find the pandemic more difficult in ways that you never expected? You’re not alone. For many people, COVID-19 brought to surface old issues that they thought that they had resolved and new problems that they never could never have anticipated. Isolation. Job loss. Family conflict. Grief.

Therapy can be an empowering experience; an opportunity to better understand oneself, learn new ways of addressing problems, and enhance overall well-being. I am a clinical social worker with over a decade of experience working with adults and youth in hospitals as well as community and private settings. I support individuals struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma and PTSD, self esteem, eating disorders/disordered eating, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and managing intense emotions.

Therapy is an act of consciousness. Through awareness, curiosity and a sense of play, we can explore and open up new ways of being. I’m interested in the human experience and the stories we tell to make sense of it. Informed by my literature studies, I dive into observing all angles of a story, finding patterns in behaviour, and exploring points of view. Understanding that you’re the expert of your story, I offer my queer, existentially-informed perspective to support you in aligning with your most authentic self.

It can be difficult taking time to identify and process the challenges we collectively experience in our fast-paced “go go go” society. Taking a pause and being curious about ourselves is the first step in this journey. My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, collaboration and non-judgment. I strive to cultivate a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore their thoughts and emotions, feel seen and heard. I work primarily within a cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and mindfulness based framework to address various challenges, help individuals achieve their goals, and live more fulfilling lives.

Asking for help is a vulnerable and courageous act, and it’s the first step towards creating lasting change in your life. You may be feeling depressed, anxious, stressed, lonely, irritable, or just not your best self. You may want to feel more connected loves ones or communities in your life. Perhaps there are issues from your past that are holding you back–or you may be grappling with the impact of systemic discrimination. You may have recently lost someone dear to you and need some support. Whatever your reason for reaching out, we are here to help you move from feeling stuck to feeling more calm, connected, and confident.

Welcome! I am a queer and gender expansive therapist, offering individual online therapy across most Canadian jurisdictions. I offer a contextualizing, self-compassionate, and strengths based approach. While life's hardships will never disappear, I can help you come to more peace and aliveness within yourself. I offer a warm, non-judgmental space to be seen, heard, and grow within. Therapy is kind of like detangling a big ball of yarn; it can be both hard yet relieving (you're not broken, just tangled!), and ultimately allows room for more consciousness/choice to flow in: now that your threads are free, what would you like to weave?

Embark on a transformative journey with me as your guide. Perhaps you are someone navigating the complexities of life or self-growth. In my 12 years of experience, I've worked individuals grappling with self-esteem, depression, anxiety, self-harm, family dynamics, or suicidal thoughts. I find immense fulfillment in supporting individuals seeking support with relationships, past trauma, enhancing their self-image, and guidance with various life transitions. If you're hoping to improve your outlook on current or past life events, my goal is to create a safe space for exploration, building resilience, and improved personal well-being.
