Our Therapists

I’m particularly drawn towards working with children who have experienced trauma in their lives as well as adults who have experienced childhood trauma. I have a deep desire to help people who are stuck in their lives because of something that happened to them; may it be abuse, neglect, or any other kind of trauma. I enjoy seeing people become a better version of themselves after going through trauma healing.

I’m also drawn toward people with extreme and complex traumas from situations such as childhood trauma in the face of parental absence or organized abuse.

Trauma therapy can seem daunting because you might not be sure what pace the processing will go through. I am taking your lead on that; I’m not going faster than you and I’m also here to help and challenge you if you need me to.

In working with children, I use toys and other expressive elements so that children can express how they feel by simply ‘playing it out’. Especially young children often don’t have the capacity quite yet to talk about their feelings and experience, but they already know how to play. Very often kids will use play to convey what they experience and also find help in being able to change the situation by playing.

I specialize in trauma therapy for children, youth, adults, families and intimate partners. My approach is client-centred and humanistic, and I tailor my work to each person’s individual needs. I believe in the uniqueness of every person, family and intimate partnership. I recognise that our experiences shape us, including experiences outside our control. I work holistically, paying attention to the relationships you have with yourself and with important people in your past and present. I meet you where you are and help you understand how to make lasting changes in your life. I’m passionate about working with people at all stages of life, helping them move beyond past histories and patterns toward a more fulfilling future.

I offer counselling to children, adolescents, teens, adults and families. I see therapy as a collaborative experience where we can have meaningful, honest conversations. My work focuses on emotional processing, interpersonal dynamics and internal identity. I believe people of all ages are naturally oriented toward growth. By making space and helping remove barriers, I support clients in reaching their potential. I believe change happens in relationships, and that past relational experiences help shape the present. In my work with children and families, I aim to strengthen confidence and connection so family members can turn to one another for care and support. I also work alongside parents to support healthy relational interactions at home and help them trust themselves in raising their children.

I work with youth and adults. My experience includes supporting people navigating addiction, anxiety, trauma, shame and burnout, as well as survivors of human trafficking, violence and abuse. I believe in our human capacity for change. When life’s challenges leave you feeling stuck, I’m guided by the belief that healing happens through deeper connections with others and a fuller dialogue with your authentic self. I bring compassion and curiosity to my work and aim to support you in doing the same. My approach is relational, experiential, attachment-based and trauma-informed. I tailor my work to each client, using theoretical models as guides while recognising each person’s distinctive experiences and goals.

I’m providing counselling to children, youth, parents and families in English and Spanish. I support clients through trauma, anxiety, emotional and behavioural challenges, and major life transitions. I bring more than six years of experience. I’m warm, curious and deeply respectful of each family’s story. I believe children and families already carry strengths and wisdom, and I see my role as helping uncover and strengthen those qualities at each client’s own pace. Trust, connection and collaboration are at the heart of my work. My approach is collaborative and dialogic, integrating play therapy, EMDR, attachment-based and neurodivergent-affirming practices. Through play, conversation or creativity, I strive to create a space where young people and their caregivers feel safe, seen and supported.

I’ve been in private practice for over 15 years and work with individuals of all ages, with extensive experience supporting children and youth. My areas of specialization include grief and loss, depression, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, relationship issues and spiritual concerns. I’m honoured to listen to your story, understand what has brought you to this point and help you unravel the challenges you’re facing. I consider it a privilege to offer guidance as we work toward greater freedom and healing in your life. My approach is compassionate, caring and gentle. I seek to understand the whole person through the connections between mind, body, spirit and relationships. 

I have over 10 years of experience supporting individuals and families. I work with children, youth, adults and families navigating anxiety, trauma, self-esteem concerns, relationship challenges and life transitions. I understand that difficult experiences are not always easy to put into words. They can show up as worry, self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, changes in behaviour, relationship difficulties or feeling stuck. I look beyond the surface to understand the emotions, experiences and needs underneath. I bring compassion, curiosity and cultural sensitivity to my work. I recognise that each person’s experiences, relationships, family context and way of understanding the world are unique. I aim to create a space where you can feel understood, supported and more connected to yourself and others.

I’m a therapist with over 20 years of experience. I’ve worked with women and youth who have experienced family violence, as well as people navigating depression, anxiety, stress, burnout, boundaries, attachment and parenting struggles, identity, self-worth and relationship repair. I believe in the inherent worth of every individual and our innate desire to become our best selves. I recognise that each person’s journey toward health and wholeness is unique and their own. 

I support people experiencing stress and shame-related issues. My work includes relational trauma, anxiety, perfectionism, religious trauma and deconstruction, self-acceptance and compassion, life transitions, compassion fatigue and stress management. I also offer services in American Sign Language. My deepest belief is that all people are worthy of love and belonging, and I bring that sense of value to every session. I begin by building safety for vulnerability, using validation and grounding or relaxation practices. My work is strongly influenced by Brené Brown’s research, writing and lectures on shame resilience. I help clients develop more rewarding relationships with their emotions, both within themselves and in their relationships with others. I offer online therapy.

I prove counselling to children, youth and adults. My areas of focus include emotional dysregulation, life transitions, trauma, domestic and family violence, and perinatal mental health, including identity changes, infertility, miscarriage and pregnancy loss. I believe meaningful change happens in safe, trusting relationships. When you feel seen, accepted and supported, you can explore painful experiences, make sense of them and discover new ways of relating to yourself and others. I strive to create a space where you can process difficult experiences, strengthen your sense of identity and move toward a life that feels more connected, authentic and aligned with who you want to be. I integrate Emotion-Focused Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy through a trauma-informed, attachment-based lens, recognising that healing unfolds differently for every person.
