Healthy relationships (including the one with ourselves) are necessary for humans to thrive. What characterizes a healthy relationship, and what influences our ability to participate in them is explored in therapy. Human beings crave attachment and connection but also engage in behaviors that can be hurtful and damaging. Therapy is about healing from the past, learning about boundaries and the process of repair, understanding patterns, self reflection, and working towards goals that are aligned with our values, desires, and needs. I am passionate about working with people of all walks of life who want to create meaningful change.

A safe and compassionate relationship interwoven with effective professional guidance are essential to developing new perspective and experiences, and ultimately well-being and thriving. I strive to create an optimal environment for growth by offering a balance of challenge, honesty, direct feedback, support, and humour. I will tailor treatment to your goals, personality, and needs, using a flexible approach and multiple evidence-based therapies and techniques. The therapeutic tools my clients receive, combined with the self-awareness and confidence they develop, provides them with the opportunity to reach their goals, as well as other unexpected personal benefits in the process.

Reaching for help is a brave step. Whatever has brought you to this point, has likely taken a toll. Life stresses build up. Unresolved conflicts and traumas keep showing up and cause recurring issues. You notice patterns: the same argument, or same worry, the same relationship dynamics. Previous efforts to fix the problem have only brought temporary relief. You are tired of feeling this way, of fighting, of feeling alone... You want someone to help you get to the root of the issue and bring some lasting change and resolution. It's my honor to walk alongside you.

Are you going through a transition in your life that is evoking feelings of anxiety, fear, sadness and overwhelm? Are you feeling stuck making difficult decisions and feeling unsure about what to do next? I have been a practicing clinical social worker/therapist since 2002 and have many years experience working with individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief and loss. I have a special interest in helping people navigate the complex world of grief, loss and periods of transition in their life. I know that therapy can be confronting and I don’t believe in a “one size fits all” approach.

At Liminal Space Therapy, we will meet you where you are and treat you with respect and dignity while challenging and uplifting you. We believe that our relationship with you is the key to growth and change. You deserve to live a life full of purpose with positive relationships, kind self-talk and tools to manage challenges that arise.

I am a compassionate Therapist/Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of clinical experience. I have formal clinical training and experience in the following therapeutic modalities; Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, EMDR, and emotionally focused therapy. I tailor my integrated therapeutic approach based on your identified needs and goals for therapy.

Do you or your loved one struggle with anxiety, emotional ups and downs, relationship issues, or the impacts of trauma that affect day-to-day life? Do feelings of extreme exhaustion, overwhelm, and frustration overpower your ability to function the way you wish you could? Do you know deep down that your life could be better, but you need guidance on how to make that happen? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious and overwhelmed about the overall struggle of juggling many stressors in their lives while trying to move forward in a hopeful way that brings about positive change.

When I began my Practice in 1990, I knew that I was blessed to have landed in a role that captured my brain and my heart but I never could have imagined that it would bring me to the place I am today. Life is full of challenges. It is also potentially full of joys and celebrations. If you find yourself in a difficult or confusing time in your life, give me a call. I can promise a warm and attentive environment as we work together. Please note that I will see you individually, in your relationship, or, within your family unit.

Do you feel disconnected from your partner? Are you worried about your relationship with your child? Are you a new parent trying to navigate the changes in your growing family? The family system can be very complicated and coming to therapy can assist you in better understanding yourself and your loved ones. As a couples and family therapist, I specialize in relationships & the impact they have on our mental wellness. I work with couples & families with a range of issues including marital satisfaction, communication, conflict, parenting struggles, adjustment to life transitions (marriage, new parents, retirement).

I consider it a privilege to work with people who want to make positive changes in their lives and relationships. It's natural to seek help when struggling with low mood, unhealthy habits or difficulties getting along with the people around us. Individuals might want to focus on coming to terms with unexpected change or dealing with past trauma. Couples sometimes need help communicating or understanding their relationship dynamics. These are all issues that can be dealt with in a therapeutic setting.

Not "in the mood" for sex? Missing that sexual spark? Wanting to feel more passionately and intimately connected to your partner? When sex is dissatisfying, painful, or feels like a "chore," the problems don't tend to stay contained to the bedroom. We can internalize our concerns in the form of shame, stress, worry, and self-blame. We may criticize our partner and shut them out physically and emotionally. We might even doubt or question the quality, and even the future, of our romantic relationships. But when sex is mutually satisfying, enjoyable, and pleasurable, our romantic relationships are able to flourish and thrive.

Feeling disconnected? Perhaps you're struggling to exist in a society that doesn't feel like its accepting of you? I specialize in working with clients who often feel they diverge from societal norms. I have special interest in working with clients who may describe themselves as belonging to these groups: Neurodiverse, LGBTQIA+, Ethically Non-Monogamous, Kinky, and/or those involved in non-traditional family/relationship dynamics. If this is you, now that you are not alone! My experience may not be the same as yours, but through collaboration, we can work together to help find the best treatment methods for your unique situation.

NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Clarity Counsellors have a minimum of a Master’s degree in the counselling field. This comes with 7 years of formal education, plus multiple practicums where skills are developed to ensure clients are getting the services they need. Our educations are supported by our own journeys, too. We have been there; explored sexuality, experienced trauma, lived through relationship breakdowns/heartbreak, built self-esteem, grieved a loss, and worked through difficult parenting situations. We know what the work is like, and how it feels to come out the other side. We want to help you do the same.

There can be many reasons people come to therapy. It can be that you are up against a challenge and need support, you might want to make a change in your life or relationship, maybe there is a pattern you see in yourself or in your relationship that you don't think is working well. My goal as a therapist is to create a space that fosters curiosity, empathy, acceptance, and humility so that we are free to explore your goals and hopes collaboratively. I work to highlight your strengths and assist in identifying the barriers, fears or challenges that stand between you and making the changes you want.
