Therapists in T8A

I am honoured to support people in finding their path to healing. I believe that we have our own capacity to move through difficult times and know that taking this step can be pretty tricky. My approach is gentle and fairly eclectic, I tend to use the modality that best suits the clients needs with an attachment based lens. I tend to focus on play therapy and emotion focused therapies with children as well as utilize some dyad work. With adults I tend to use EMDR, trauma processing, solution focused therapy, person centred and emotion focussed therapy modalities. I offer a free 15 minute consultation to ensure I am the right fit.

Are you struggling to regulate your emotions? Are you discouraged by your own behaviour? Are you wishing you could figure out how to make it all work? Maybe you need someone to listen and understand your challenges. Maybe you are trying to take your life in a new direction but are getting caught up in old patterns and ways of being.

I love supporting my clients in finding the freedom and confidence to live their most authentic and best life. Depression, anxiety, stuck relationships, trauma, and grief can all interfere with this. There are ways to alleviate this stress and move one to a better way.

Welcome! I am accepting new child, teen, and adult clients. You deserve to show up to therapy as your authentic self without judgement or shame. I believe that therapy is less about the modalities or therapy approaches used, and more about meeting you where you're at in your unique journey. My approach is not one-size-fits-all; it's a personalized experience that respects your needs and individuality. Collaboration is important, and our work together will be a partnership based on trust, compassion, empathy.

I am a relationship specialist for couples and individuals. Do you want to revitalize your relationship and nurture a connection that will last a lifetime? I help couples create an environment that unconditional love can thrive within utilizing a three-step process to develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your partner, enhance foundational relationship building skills, and create a relationship plan to meet both your needs. Topics addressed include: communication, conflict resolution, intimacy, life goals, finances, decision making, shared responsibilities, parenting style differences, and recovering from infidelity.

Life is a journey and, along the way to your destination, you may get lost and confused. There may be turbulence, storm, or darkness that may cause you to stumble and be overwhelmed. Life is full of complications and there are times when we are distressed and unable to cope. I offer my services during these difficult times. With my years of experience and extensive training, I can deliver integrative therapeutic approaches tailored to your needs. You just have to reach out. Call any time.

Registered Psychologist currently offering on-line and in person services. Specializing in trauma therapy of uniformed personnel and first responders. Trauma and other modes of therapy for civilians also available.

Throughout the years I have had the privilege to work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, everyday stressors, navigating family dynamics, creating healthy boundaries, first responders, individual relationship breakdown, veterans, parents, and young adults who are stuck and need someone to help to a healthy and happy lifestyle.

We all have the capacity to stray from our authentic selves, sometimes to gain approval or acceptance from others, or because our worth is tied to something outside of us. The further we shift from our truest selves, the more we see issues like anxiety and depression arise. I understand that seeking counselling and discussing your concerns with a stranger can be very intimidating. There are times in our lives, however, when this may not only be helpful, but even necessary. My goal is to help you rediscover your authentic self and to find the courage to begin living from a place of truth.

As a Canadian Certified Counsellor, I believe one of the biggest hurdles in overcoming our troubles is thinking we’re all alone. Asking for help is no longer considered a weakness. In fact, it can be one of the most influential, life-altering decisions we can make for ourselves. Because when we talk about our feelings, they often become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less worrisome. I can work with most concerns such as chronic pain, families, couples/marriage, pain management, families, teens, trauma, and life stresses.

I am a Registered Psychologist with over 10 years of experience providing addiction and mental health counselling and crisis intervention services to adult clients. I provide clients with a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental counselling environment where growth can occur. I am passionate about helping clients work towards their goals and make positive changes in their lives. I offer individual therapy for adult clients experiencing issues such as addiction/substance abuse, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, grief and loss, life transitions, stress, and trauma. I also have an interest in perinatal mental health.

A little about myself, I have worked in Human Services for the past 30 years, from ABA programs, Children’s Services, assessments, and Mental Health Therapy. This work has offered me vast experience working with many populations, such as Veterans, First Responders, trauma survivors, Indigenous People and Persons with Disabilities.

I love working with trauma and have specialized experience with first responders. I get how it changes the way you think, feel and act so can work with emotional dysregulation and behavioural issues too. Addiction is common, and often a way to cope, and it's the underlying issues I nurture and heal. At times, I work with people struggling in relationships, sometimes with themselves, or as they adjust to relationship change or loss. Other times I support people as they navigate life transitions like employment changes, navigating pregnancy and parenthood, reconciling health issues, or effects of aging.

I work with children, adolescents and adults with a range of presenting challenges, such as anxiety, depression, lack of social skills, low self-esteem, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, ADHD, FASD, Autism, relationship issues, grief and loss, and trauma. I also work with families to address behavioral challenges or to rebuild strained relationships.

My passion is to support individuals to help improve their overall wellbeing and to support the personal growth they are striving for. I support clients with anxiety, depression, stress, and self-esteem.

My experience is working with people experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, veterans, first responders, pre-teens and teens, sexual assault, trauma and domestic violence. I believe in meeting people where they are to start addressing the experiences or stressors by working together to help ease the distress that you may be experiencing.

I am passionate about helping and supporting adolescents and adults through life's many obstacles, such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, life transitions, relationship issues, self-esteem, and job/academic performance issues. I work with Clients to identify their strengths and resources so they can use them to manage problems and find solutions so that each client can discover and reach their preferred outcome. I work with clients collaboratively, which means we both bring unique skills to the counselling session and work together towards the client's preferred outcome.

I believe that we should all have the skills and tools to be successful and resilient while finding your voice. I believe that confidence and self-esteem are important in our lives and that our goals should be consistent with our own desires. I work from a holistic perspective and hope that even though the skills we work on may be sport-specific but that you can adapt those skills to work in other areas of your life. My goal as a sport and performance psychologist is to help change sport and performance culture to be a more healthy community while also reducing mental health stigma.
