Lillian strives to help her clients develop a curiosity about themselves and explore new ways of connecting with themselves and the world around them. Whether a client wishes to make tangible changes, engage in self-reflection, or is simply seeking a safe place to be open and honest, Lillian provides a compassionate and comforting environment for them to explore their goals. Lillian is trained in perinatal counselling and is passionate about supporting people through pregnancy and postpartum. As a new mother herself, she understands the unique challenges that come with this particular time of one's life.

The journey to parenthood doesn't look anything like you had expected. You never imagined it would be this difficult to get pregnant. Perhaps you feel like your life is on hold as you wait with each passing month. Maybe you have been navigating a maze of appointments, medications, and uncertainties, all while grappling with the profound emotional toll of longing for a child. Frustration, disappointment, and grief become unwelcome companions on this journey, overshadowing moments of joy and resilience. It's difficult to find other people who understand, and perhaps you feel isolated, anxious and alone.

I provide support to individuals hoping to improve their mental health, family conflicts and trauma responses. I am passionate about providing support to women navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, life transitions and faith/spirituality. ​I also bring valuable experience in working with grief and loss.

At Life + Hope Counselling, we offer a diverse range of treatment options for anxiety, depression, PTSD, Borderline Personality traits, grief, and relational challenges. If you are feeling burdened with stress, anxiety, or past trauma; if you are emotionally overwhelmed with sadness or loss; if you are suffering burnout or are challenged in a life transition; if you are wanting to move into healthier behaviour patterns and relationship dynamics, we would like to help you.

Choosing yourself can be a struggle. Especially if you’ve been conditioned to choose others since your younger years. It’s never too late to start now and begin to prioritize your own needs. If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected from yourself or others you are not alone. Therapy is a safe space to restore your mental, emotional, and relational health. I have a deep passion for helping people grieve their losses, process their traumas, celebrate their wins, take their power back, and learn to love and trust themselves after trauma.

Life is nothing short of amazing. It's amazing how much we can go through and live to tell about it. It's amazing how fast kids grow up and time flies, how angry a co-worker can make you, how much compassion we can seem to have for others when we struggle to offer any to ourselves. It's amazing how much we put on our plates when all we need is to rest. It's amazing how much we can long for understanding and connection and how much opportunity can be missed right in front of our eyes. It's amazing how short life is. It's also amazing how much we can learn in the time we have, and how little steps can amount to such massive change.

What is meaningful to you and how can you bring more of that into your life? The impact of invalidation, abuse, and neglect can deeply affect your well-being and your ability to connect with others. I am here to help you explore these challenges and find solutions. As a trauma therapist, I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, including narrative therapy, behavioral therapy, and somatic techniques like Brainspotting. If you already have a therapist, I can provide short-term support using Brainspotting and the Safe and Sound Protocol to complement your existing therapy.

It's not just you, life HAS gotten harder in the last few years. If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.

If you’re struggling with life right now, I can help. I take a gentle approach to counseling - fostering insight, self-compassion, and a deeper understanding of your thoughts and feelings. I believe anyone can grow and thrive given the right conditions, and see counseling as a process of discovery, growth and healing. Working at a pace that feels safe and supportive for you is key; so I regularly check-in to ensure that this is your experience.

Offering in person and online. Evening and weekend appts only. Welcome! I am a registered social worker with over 25 years of experience in the field. I am passionate about supporting individuals going through stressful times. Stressful situations can leave people feeling stuck, overwhelmed and alone. As your therapist it would be an honor to walk alongside you in your journey to unpack what is holding you back from healing and reaching your goals. I am a trauma informed and client centred therapist who feels comfortable working with a wide range of individuals.

I work from a place that values and acknowledges the need for connection and right relationship in all domains of life, including the therapeutic relationship. The desire to feel heard, understood, known and safe is an inherent need we all desire and I aspire to create this dynamic in all my therapeutic working relationships. I am strength-based clinician, drawing on each individual unique gifts, talents and experiences. I understand and feel privileged to witness the triumph over one's challenges through this therapeutic process. I am a RP, with 30 years in Mental Health, working with children, youth, adults, couples and families.

Accepting treatment clients to waitlist. Assessment waitlist is currently closed due to a wait time of 24 months+. At times in life we can become stuck in intense feelings, whether it's related to stressful challenges, life transitions, relationships, or events from our past that continue to cause us pain. We try to cope but our usual strategies are not working anymore.

As a registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist and Clinical Director, I strive to deliver compassionate and empathetic support in working with the client in finding their inner strength and abilities and expanding on those for success. I believe every individual is capable to succeed and breakthrough their past current and future challenges/struggles, whatever they might be. With the focus of the client as the expert and the clinician as supportive expert, you will have the opportunity to be guided through your own strengths and abilities in moving forward and finding happiness/success through the life course.

Do you feel stuck in a situation where it is hard to see the light? Whether it’s events or patterns from your past, or your present, you may feel frustration or shame at not being able to change. Or as a parent/caregiver you might feel helpless as you watch your child struggle with anxiety or behaviour. And often a child in crisis can impact the dynamics of the entire family, making everyone feel off-balance and confused. At Orchid Psychotherapy and Coaching, we can help you to start to bend towards the light, to feel the hope that comes with the support to create healthy, sustainable changes.

Practice is full at this time - You are exhausted from trying SO hard and never feeling like enough. Sometimes you feel ok but when you pause, you realize your thoughts are racing, your muscles are tense, and you are utterly depleted. Anxiety, self-doubt and your inner critic do not need to rule your mind and body. You are worthy of support and deserve to feel more at peace with yourself. I love to help clients strengthen inner resources, cultivate self-compassion, create healthy boundaries and find more ease and joy.
