Therapists in T6C
I work to assist people with exploring their experiences regarding anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss. I practice from a strength-based, trauma-informed, and client-centred approach. I offer therapeutic space for challenging stories and emotions to be expressed, witnessed, released, and healed. I emphasize the connection between physical, mental, social, and cultural principles in an individual's overall wellbeing.

I am licensed, registered, and insured to provide support for children, youth, and adults, and specialize in the treatment of Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, and BPD. If you need strategies/ support with Addiction, Trauma, Loss, Grief, and life/situational/behavior concerns, let’s talk. When it's no longer true to wholly say, "I'm fine," or, "It is what it is," and when try this and have you thought of that suggestions aren't enough; it's a good time to connect to find solutions and support. If things have been done or said to you that have hurt you, you can heal. If you are fed up, exhausted, and tired, you can find the way through.

Sometimes life can feel very difficult and we are not quite sure why. Often times we are not how to make sense of our lives in a meaningful way and that can stop us from being who we truly are. Or maybe you have been through difficult times in your life that you are not quite sure how to overcome. These difficult experiences can get in the way of maintaining meaningful relationships, building trust or feeling at peace. Processing these events can take place at any age and can look different for each individual. The important part is that you feel genuinely seen and heard.

Substance Use Counsellors
How do substance and drug recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other clients in recovery; in outpatient programs, individuals reside at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counsellors, and psychotherapists. Staff often also includes people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other methods.
How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?
Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.
How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for substance use reduce the amount of drugs they consume. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
Are there specific medications for substance and drug use?
There are medications approved to treat substance use disorder—such as buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone, and acamprosate. These medications do help people cope with substance use as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone can help reduce cravings, methadone is an opioid medication used to treat severe pain, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
