"Clients work on how to take care of their needs and wants with an understanding on messages they have given themselves since childhood. Clients who want to learn how to change the old script. Clients who struggle with addiction, anxiety and depression with a therapist who comes from an anti oppressive lens, trauma informed and solution focused. "

"My clients are from diverse backgrounds who have experienced traumatic events that are adversely impacting their personal sense of who they are, their relationships, both personal and professional. The clients are seeking to make sense of their lived experiences and recover their agency and power to live a wholesome life with dignity and respect. My clients usually have a history of intergenerational violence and come to therapy for resolving issues such as historic and current sexual violence, intimate relational violence, trafficking, trauma related to war and conflict, workplace violence, discrimination and harassment. "

"In my 10 years of social work practice I have helped people move through periods of change in their lives. I have learned that all life transitions, be they joyful or deeply painful, come with varying degrees of emotions. Some of us are able to work through these emotions on our own, while others need a helping hand. My role is to guide you, by working together, to find the tools to cope with and overcome life’s challenges. I believe that seeking help is a recognition of your strengths and self-awareness. Whether you are overwhelmed as a new mom, grieving a loss, or feeling anxious about your job, you shouldn't have to do it alone. "

"As a Registered Psychotherapist, human being, and author of BINGE CRAZY: A Psychotherapist's Memoir of Food Addiction, Mental Illness, Obesity and Recovery (2018), I view seeking help as a strength - requiring the courage and wisdom to reach your own truths. My practice, based in Gestalt therapy - a holistic, here and now approach encompassing any and all aspects of your life - includes other modalities to find what works best for you - from creative forms of expression to more structured methods. In Gestalt, you are the expert (on you) and I am the guide to help you explore what needs healing."

"I am an experienced therapist with 30 years of practise to draw upon. I will listen carefully as you describe the issues that you need support and help to sort out. Often, an increased understanding of the challenges that you face can be very helpful to move forward in your life. As well, learning some new skills to manage the issues and/or gaining a new perspective on the issues can be useful as well. I appreciate that it is not easy to embark on a therapy course so I make every effort to be supportive and understanding as we build a therapy relationship."

"I work with adults and couples to help them move towards a state of continued growth, compassion, and self-awareness in a way that is collaborative, strengths-based, and empowering. I believe in creating a client-therapist relationship that fosters authenticity, support, and space for both acceptance, and for change. This can begin in our very first session. Together, we can begin to tease apart the adaptive approaches to dealing with and moving through life you've grown accustomed to, and begin to decipher which of these patterns are serving you, and which you may be interested in moving beyond."

"I believe in an empathic, collaborative approach, so that you may always be part of the therapeutic process. Psychotherapy allows for a unique relationship, whereby the focus of attention is on understanding you. It provides an opportunity for openness, trust and honesty, often difficult in other interpersonal situations. It can help you to increase your resilience to life challenges and improve relationships. I use a range of therapy modalities according to the best fit for your needs and personality. Greater meaning in life can be achieved by longer term therapy, but also brief periods of therapy which are cumulative."
