Therapists in V1B
I specialize in helping individuals heal from toxic repetitive relationships, complex trauma, anxiety, and PTSD. Maybe you are looking for a therapist to help you get to the core root of your issues, so you can stop repeating the same toxic relationship patterns. Or someone who will give you space to grieve because you are heartbroken that your relationship fell apart. Perhaps, you want concrete tools you can use when panic takes your breath away, or when anxiety tells you that every situation you're in will end in disaster? Or maybe, past traumatic memories keep haunting you from living fully in the present. I can help!

If you have tried counselling before and have been disappointed, you are in the right place. I am a culturally-informed Transpersonal Therapist who gets the big picture. I believe that real healing happens in community, and so have shifted my practice to focus on group work and inner alignment, where you are able to get back effortlessly to your own inner knowing without spending months or years in the trauma-trenches. I do NOT offer 1:1 sessions, but instead welcome you into a community of like-minded seekers who are interested in expanding beyond current self-limiting mindsets and want to ride the cutting edge of consciousness.

I work with adults and couples who are struggling with trauma, grief, relationship challenges, ADHD symptoms, life transitions, and making positive lifestyle changes. I also work with specific populations such as health care providers and first responders providing support for challenges such as "burnout" and PTSD symptoms.

You deserve and need more connection and joy in your primary relationship. You want better communication so you can stop having the same arguments over and over again. All relationships have times when connection is easy, passion is alive, and love abounds, but also times when trust is broken, regrettable incidents linger, and friendship is barely possible. I help couples and also individuals who are struggling to thrive in relationships. Like a growing garden, relationships need nurturing and focused attention. I want to share new ideas, skills, and tools to enhance your relationship to increase your quality of life.

I treat trauma - childhood, shock (eg. accidents, medical) and relational (eg. betrayal, bullying) utilizing IFS and EMDR. These models are experiential, not "talk therapy". I also offer Clinical Supervision. I have additional training in treating those suffering and addiction, their family members and adult children of alcoholics. Often, people impacted by addiction - their own or someone else's - carry the heavy burdens of shame, anxiety, low self-esteem and other extremely painful legacies. If you are ready to dive deeply into the roots of your distress, IFS and EMDR may be a fit for you.

I help teens, young adults and parents who are feeling limited by past experiences, shame, self criticism, unhealthy coping habits, anxiety and/or depression. Whether you are looking for short term counselling (emotional support and some help to get back on your feet), more in depth therapy (changing longer existing patterns of how you behave and relate to yourself and others), or emotional intelligence coaching (to improve yourself personally or professionally), I can help. My clients are from very varied backgrounds and ages, however I do specialize in working with health care professionals, young adults and teens.

You may be hearing it from your partner, or from your kid's teachers and even from yourself that something has to change. I think of the 90's song, "I'm not sick, but I'm not well." You don't need to be in crisis or at your limit to seek help from a professional. Often seeking help is the first sign that you are serious about the solution and the growth that is inevitable. Change can be difficult, but you don't need to do it alone. I offer a practical and experienced approach to change, improved communication, self-regulation and acceptance of the challenges that are a call to growth. I work with children, parents and individuals.

My clients want a safe place where they will be deeply heard, understood, and validated. Many of my clients had childhoods that were lacking in nurturing, or are dealing with a lot of stress in adult life. I support people who are dealing with issues such as self-care and worthiness struggles, unresolved emotional wounds, body acceptance and battles with diet culture, chronic illness/pain, disability, work stress, anxiety, depression, relationship/family conflict, and grief/loss. In my office you can enjoy a complimentary beverage, unload what weighs on your heart, and leave feeling supported and more hopeful.

I've been practicing since 1995 & I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor & Marriage & Family Therapist. However, I am now only accepting individual clients 18+. It's clear to me that we can all struggle, even if we are successful in other areas of our lives. Life can be unpredictable & the stress & demands of everyday life, work & relationships can take its toll. As stressors build, you may find yourself struggling with anxiety, mood, eating, body image issues or turning to addictive behaviours. You may also find that unresolved grief or past trauma keeps seeping into your daily life & especially when you least want or expect it.
