Therapists in T1J

Providing a space where you can put down whatever it is that you are holding. Maybe you are feeling tired, overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure. Maybe you're feeling ready to explore a path to healing. The journey of counselling is as unique as each individual accessing it. The goal of all services offered is an opportunity to heal, to face difficulties and to forge a path forward into wellness. I have the privilege of providing a space and tools that will allow you to freely explore what this path looks like for you. You are welcome, and deserving of the opportunity to feel better and I am looking forward to meeting you.

Whether you’re having difficulties with stress, depression, a relationship, a past experience, a decision, or just want to understand yourself better, I may be able to help. I provide a safe, supportive place where we can explore your concerns and your goals. I believe that individuals are unique, and that there is no single approach that is the 'correct' one for everyone. I match my work to you and your unique style and needs. I also understand that we have a diversity of aspects - thoughts, feelings, beliefs, behaviors, relations, histories, goals - and that these cannot be meaningfully separated in therapy any more than in life.

Whether you are searching for guidance, wanting to refine your skills in life/career/sport, struggling to find balance in lifes beautiful transitions, or wanting a neutral and open space to explore your own humanness with acceptance and compassion to move towards living unapologetically authentic, I'd love to meet you there.

Do you feel overwhelmed, alone, and helpless to change? Are you or a family member struggling to cope by using alcohol/drugs, food, nicotine, or gambling? While change can feel overwhelming and you may think you are helpless and alone, counselling may provide the hope you need to find the inner strength to change. I offer a warm, non-judgmental space to explore your concerns, by yourself or as a couple, and discover new and exciting solutions.

Thank you for seeking a psychologist; it’s an important decision. With over a decade of experience in the field of mental health, I acknowledge my imperfections, while also fully committed to understanding and assisting you in achieving your goals. My areas of specialty include all forms of anxiety and loss, as well as holding space for the ‘hard to feel or talk about’ life issues. I aim to be available six days a week, including evenings. I also offer you a free 15-minute phone chat so you can check out my voice, my energy, and ask me any questions you might have. When you reach out to Made in Thought, here's what you can expect:

It's not always easy to navigate life's challenges alone. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by difficult emotions, wanting to make a change and don’t know where to start, or struggling to cope with unexpected events, reaching out for help can be a powerful act of self-care and courage. That's where I come in. I work through a holistic lens combined with scientific, evidence-based interventions, to help you reach your unique goals. I believe that each person possesses their own strengths and gifts, but sometimes we are blinded by past experiences or current challenges.

Do you feel like you're caught in the same cycles that aren't getting you anywhere, have negative beliefs about yourself that are keeping you stuck, or feel like you're constantly stressed or anxious and running on E? Clients who come to counselling may want to take control of their racing mind, calm their nervous system, establish self-care and wellness routines, better understand themselves/patterns in their life, learn self-compassion, or are just looking for a safe space where their feelings & lived experiences are honoured. I have 8 years of experience working with clients in various supportive capacities.

Take a moment, 30 seconds will do. Breathe in slowly, hold it there for a second, slowly let your breath out. Repeat if you wish.Imagine being able to quiet the mind of the past, present and future echoes. Perhaps these thoughts have been causing you distress in your life. Becoming vulnerable to these thoughts can cause additional hardships, and becoming comfortable with the uncomfortable is difficult. However, the good news is that you already possess the skills needed to address these issues. During our time together, I will help you to uncover and practice these skills in order to live a more clear headed and focused life.

Hi there, do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, anxious or even just exhausted, carrying the trauma, grief, or heaviness of the past? Perhaps your teen or youth is struggling with peers or school and you are not quite sure how to help? Or maybe, you are adjusting to the many transitions life brings us and feeling stuck and stressed. I work to support you in building a life that brings joy, happiness and peace. My therapeutic approach begins with building connections, living authentically and empowering others to achieve personal growth and wellness.

Accepting new online clients! Living with chronic illness, disability, or neurodivergence is hard. Getting through the overwhelm of everyday life feels impossible. You're starting to feel like all you think about is your condition and everything it has taken away from you - work, hobbies, sleep, relationships. Your family and friends don’t get it. They try to help and probably mean well, but sometimes the dismissive way they say things makes you feel worse. You try to hide your symptoms to seem “normal” but inside, you feel like you might break.

Is your previous trauma impacting your ability to be at peace with yourself? Are you struggling in new relationships due to previous trauma?

I also provide an affirmative, non-judgmental, and open environment for youth to explore issues related to transitions and pilot their journey towards authenticity.

I also work with individuals dealing with mental health challenges
