I have experience working with children, adolescents and adults in regards to a variety of topics, which include: anxiety, depression, trauma, sports, relationships, disordered eating, OCD, & stress.
I approach therapy with an open mind that is free of judgement and full of genuine care. I use a variety of theoretical frameworks and techniques that benefit individual clients; I believe in being adaptable because everyone is unique in their perspectives, experiences, and needs. My main theoretical framework is grounded in attachment theory, while sessions are client-centred; the methods and motivation to develop positive change comes from within oneself.

Have you been feeling fed-up, exhausted and defeated by your relationships lately? Do you wish that your communication and conflict resolution skills were better? Do you want to unravel patterns and codependency to achieve clarity? Though conflict is a normal, everyday part of life, it can be paralyzing to face alone. Childhood relationships with family members shape the way we develop communication skills and interact with conflict often resulting in adaptations used as coping mechanisms. Often an attempt at self-regulation and rooted in survival and resiliency, they can keep us from having healthy relationships.

The real cause of unhappiness is self-distrust, we do not trust ourselves well enough to win our battles. We are most times more scared of the known coming to an end than the beginning of the unknown. No wound is too deep for a ferocious devotion to heal. A huge number of human challenges ranges from financial, emotional and lack of spiritual energy to face our challenges.

We work with folks leaving unhealthy/toxic belief systems and support them to navigate difficult emotions, understand the past and present, and gain autonomy in their decisions so that they can live authentically and on their own terms. Many who leave, deconstruct, or change religion or belief system experience a great deal of loss, stress, anxiety, depression, and overall disorientation. What was once a trustworthy belief system is now full of doubt, supports are no longer available, relationships often suffer, and past trauma or adverse religious experiences follow you wherever you go. The resulting loneliness can be staggering.

Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioural therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication. Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.
How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it’s important to understand a therapist’s treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s also important to consider a therapist’s training when seeking care. Therapists in Canada hold various licenses depending on their training and provincial requirements. Common therapy credentials include Registered Social Workers (RSW), Registered Psychotherapists, and Certified Canadian Counsellors (CCC). Psychologists (PhD or PsyD) receive additional doctoral-level training and may focus on assessments or more specialized therapeutic approaches. All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.
How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
