Therapists in L1H

Do you struggle to regulate or make sense of your emotions? Whether you've been stuck in in a state fight, flight, or freeze or oscillate between all three, I'd love to connect! I work primarily with millennial & GenZ folks navigating BPD, anxiety, ADHD, burnout, grief, complex trauma and PTSD, relationships, breakups, and emotionally immature parents. I believe in working collaboratively with my clients and I always prioritize building and maintaining a secure and friendly therapeutic relationship. My strength comes in the form of curating effective coping skills to suit your individual needs.

If you are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or a disconnect from yourself or others, you do not have to go through it alone. Starting therapy can be a powerful step towards changing your life. I am a Registered Psychotherapist who works from a trauma-informed perspective. I bring compassion and understanding to each session. I work to ensure that a safe and comfortable space is created, so you can explore your emotions and thoughts.

Now offering in-person and virtual sessions. Are you struggling to cope with negative life events or a traumatic experience? Are your emotions impacting your day-to-day coping and relationships? Do you have flashbacks? Feel like you’re on edge all the time or maybe checking out? Looking for support to be more present? Blaming yourself; “Things are okay now; I should just be able to move on" or "Its my fault." My goal is to support individuals, who have experienced trauma, negative life events and challenges begin to move towards healing. The core values of my practice are acceptance, compassion and connection.

Our team works from a Client-Centered focus, allowing for clients to direct the therapy and contribute to the journey they are on.

Specific populations that I love working with (and have undergone additional training to specialize in) include Indigenous Canadians, LGBTQIA2+ persons, trans-identified and gender diverse persons and their families (including chosen families), and clients with a history of trauma and/or substance use. I work with youth and adults (primarily 12-70 years old), couples, and families. In terms of treatment, my areas of specialty include ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, disordered eating, grief, trauma, and navigating gender and sexual identities.

Currently, we provide online counseling services exclusively, featuring a talented team of counselors from diverse backgrounds who can tackle a wide range of mental health issues. Our primary goal is to nurture the holistic well-being of our clients, addressing their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects through exceptional counseling services. We cater to individuals, couples, and families, tailoring our approach for each unique client. In the event of client dissatisfaction with a therapist, we pledge to either find an appropriate replacement or suggest an unaffiliated alternative expert to ensure their needs are met.

I am dedicated to supporting individuals experiencing symptoms from trauma, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, codependency, and low self-worth/self-esteem. I explore how the previous experiences we have encountered and the relationships we have had impact the way we view ourselves and interact with the world around us.
