Divorce / Separation / Breakups / betrayal / Relationship Transitions. In person & virtual. You never imagined your relationship would end, and now you're left feeling heartbroken, overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure how to move forward. You may be replaying conversations, questioning yourself, struggling with co-parenting challenges, or grieving the future you thought you would have. Whether you're navigating a breakup, separation, toxic divorce, emotional/narsisitic abuse, or a major life transition, therapy can help you regain clarity, confidence and a stronger sense of self.

You may feel stuck between holding on to the past and trying to build a future you never planned for. Relationship challenges can leave you feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected from yourself, and uncertain about what comes next. Together, we can explore unhealthy relationship patterns attachment wounds, people-pleasing, self-esteem struggles/anxiety.

I'm Shir, a Registered Psychotherapist (Q). I provide a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where clients can process difficult emotions, gain insight into their experiences, and move toward meaningful change. My goal is to help you heal from the past, rebuild confidence, strengthen relationships, and create a life that feels more aligned with you.
