Find a Therapist in Canada

Are you someone who is your own harshest critic? Do traumatic experiences, complicated family dynamics or intense emotions get in the way of the life you want? Are you looking for a therapist that considers the broader social issues that impact your life and mental health? I offer a blend of tangible coping tools and deeper processing to help you build a life worth living. Some examples of challenges we might address in therapy could be: anxiety and panic, stress and burnout, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and dissociation, OCD, body image, relationships, social issues, identity and life transitions.  

Therapy works best when you feel genuinely safe, understood, and able to speak openly. Many of my clients share that one of the most meaningful parts of our work together is not only the practical tools and strategies they gain, but also the sense of connection, honesty, and relief that comes from having a space where they can be real and experience real change. My background includes social work, music therapy, palliative care, oncology, acute mental health, and service in the Canadian Armed Forces. I also bring lived experience with grief, trauma, chronic pain, and adversity, which deeply informs my compassionate and realistic approach. I work with individuals who are often used to “holding it together” on the outside while internally feeling overwhelmed, burned out, disconnected, or stuck in painful patterns. Together, we’ll figure out what actually works for you — not just generic advice. I take the time to understand your strengths, your struggles, and the deeper patterns that may be keeping you stuck so we can approach challenges in a way that feels realistic and meaningful. We can do more than just manage symptoms or get through the day. My goal is to help you build a life that feels worthwhile.

With over a decade of experience helping people navigate anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, or just feeling stuck, I believe therapy works best when you feel safe enough to be entirely real. Real change happens when we stop blaming ourselves and start understanding our patterns, which is why my approach is completely down-to-earth and focused on what actually works for you. I show up to this work as both deeply compassionate and completely honest. I’m not afraid to be a straight shooter when it’s helpful, but that directness is always wrapped in genuine care and respect for exactly where you are at. I'm here to help you get to the root of your reactions so you can make sense of them and finally have the clarity to do things differently. While the work we do is deeply meaningful, I don’t think therapy has to be heavy all the time. When it fits, I bring a bit of humor into the room to help break the tension and remind us that there is still room to breathe. When we work together, you get a genuine partner who is right there in the trenches with you—and occasionally, a quiet appearance from my dog or cat in the background to keep our sessions grounded :)  

Are you having relationship issues or struggling with depression, trauma, anxiety, phobias, or addiction? I combine empathy, experience, and education to help you work through your issues and live a more meaningful and fulfilling life. My goal is to provide truly helpful, evidence-based psychological assessment and counselling for adult individuals and couples. I always aim to provide the best possible type of therapy according to your preferences and the way your mind works. I am neurodiversity affirming and believe in working with you, not on you. Over and above the therapy hour, I also offer your own private and secure portal of relevant digital resources.  

It is very easy to get stuck in life. I hope to be able to assist you with discovering and understanding what creates a sense of unease for you and to help you through the demanding process of tackling these obstacles. I chose to specialize in cognitive behaviour (CBT) therapy as I believe that I owe it to you to provide interventions that are rooted in research and have proven effectiveness. To that end, I have obtained credentialling with the Academy of Cognitive and Behavioural Therapies and with Canadian Association for Cognitive and Behavioural Therapies. It might be hard to commit to therapy. After all it requires discussing painful and private issues with a stranger. You can start by checking my website (www.VillageCentreCBT.net) to find more about my practice philosophy, CBT and its applications, and to access self-help materials. You can also request a brief free video or phone consultation to determine if I would be a good fit as your therapist.

Over the last 6 decades decades I have had the opportunity to make significant mistakes, suffer and grow just like you. I have learned that success in life and relationships is about learning from these mistakes, and seeking support from people with experience, compassion, knowledge and life wisdom. I would be honoured to share the path with you and to walk together through the difficulties you have had, to a future with possibility, self acceptance and freedom.

Now Accepting New Clients: Many people come to therapy feeling caught in cycles of self-criticism, emotional overwhelm, and patterns that feel hard to change—even when they understand them logically. You might notice swings between over-control and feeling out of control, or a sense that you’re stuck repeating the same patterns without lasting relief. I offer a supportive space where we can slow things down and begin to understand what’s happening underneath these cycles, not just manage the surface-level symptoms.

I know reaching out for therapy can feel uncomfortable, especially if you’re used to carrying things on your own or trying to push through everything yourself.

I want therapy to feel like a space where you can speak openly, slow things down, and feel genuinely heard without pressure to have everything figured out right away. Whether you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, or feeling stuck in ways that are leaving you emotionally drained, I aim to work alongside you at a pace that feels comfortable and meaningful for you.

Overwhelmed, anxious and oh so tired? How many hours have you spent doing what you don't want to be doing? Or spinning in anxiety and fear about all the unknowns? Lost in the hustle of everyday life - fighting to get it all done, and caring for everyone else, all while trying to fix your feelings and free yourself from the voice in your head telling you you aren't good enough. It's exhausting! Climb out of the fog of the have-to or should-dos, and everyone else's needs. No more gripping, no more pushing, no more resisting. It's time to love yourself boldly. To feel grounded and connected to your body and your emotions. Through counseling and nutrition, I help women to shift their relationship with themselves and food. To become allies as you are guided into alignment, so you can live from a place of ease, confidence, balance, and trust in yourself. As a Mom to two little souls I know how it feels to know there’s another way but feel too busy and wrapped up in life to actually find it. Having someone on your side who understands how hard it is to let go of control when it’s all you’ve ever known, and who knows what it’s like to want to be excellent at everything you do, while managing a job, friendships, family relationships, exercise, birthdays, eating well and keeping your house-plants alive - means everything. If you have landed here you are taking steps to love yourself boldly and find what feels good. Yay!
