Years in practice: 14
Offers:  Remote Therapy

In my experience, and according to research, the biggest factor in how well therapy works is the client-therapist relationship. That’s one reason you can expect me to be genuine, empathetic, positive, and affirming. Also, I don’t have a “one size fits all” approach to therapy. Instead, I will work with you to custom-fit a therapy experience based on your unique needs and expressed concerns.

Years in practice: 3
Offers:  Remote Therapy

Do you find yourself tired of facing feelings of anxiety, “being stuck,” sadness, low motivation, or a lack of self-love? Are you interested in creating a stronger sense of self, understanding your choices, and digging into the roots of why you feel the way you do? Are you interested in looking at your past, taking power back over your story, and learning about new ways to take a look at things? Do you want to learn more about how our physical health can influence our emotional well-being? Together, we can look at your past, present, and future goals, and provide you with an understanding of what this means to you. My therapy approach uses CBT, ACT, Narrative, and more, but our work would be unique to your goals and needs.

I work with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, communication, sex, and identity. I look for patterns of behaviour that shape your life, where those patterns emerge from, and where you might like to try something different. The fit between therapist and client is tremendously important and it is difficult to gauge from a few sentences on a website. If you are curious about my approach, I encourage you to reach out for a free consultation.

Master’s in Counselling Psychology (MACP)
Years in practice: 4
Offers:  Remote Therapy

My basic belief is hopeful and positive: that ultimately people are “good” and are striving for wellness with the internal and external resources they have.  I am committed to helping you unpack and leave behind stories and ways of coping that no longer serve your needs, while building resilience and moving towards new ways of relating to self and others, stepping authentically into life and relationships.

As a queer-identified woman, I am particularly interested but not exclusively focused on supporting clients within the LGBTQ2S+ community.  I intentionally support overall mental wellness for all men, women and adolescents as we work to resolve, understand and reflect on barriers that exist in attaining psychological well-being.

Hello there… As crazy as it might sound, patterns of anxiety, depression, controllingness, addiction, self automation (and others that one may fall into) are all learning environments – challenging us to search for ways to heal self and others. Our world gets better each time one of us takes such steps. After almost fifty years doing this work with others as well as with my self, I can assure you it is worth it. I’ll characterize my approach as practical/spiritual/integrative – and informal : > )
