Registered Social Worker, HonBA, BSW, MSW, RSW, EMDR Certified
Hi, my name is Ada. Maybe this is your first time seeking therapy or maybe you are searching for a better fit. Trying to find someone who is able to help can feel overwhelming, especially with so many options. For 22 years, my passion has been working with individuals who have struggled with old wounds and life's unrelenting hardships.
My speciality is making sense of your life story: the experiences, stuck thoughts, feelings and perhaps, even memories that have contributed to where you are today. Gaining a better understanding of what brought you here will help shape what you need to feel better. Getting the lay of the land of your life story not only helps to understand where you've been, but also where you need to go from here. We can do this by getting to know those wounded parts of self and, finally, giving them a voice to heal. Understanding your life story is most effective in making those desired changes because it is complete – understanding you, from beginning, middle and beyond. I look forward to connecting with you and starting you on your journey of self discovery and healing.
I help clients with anxiety, relationship challenges, depression, grief/loss, stress, and burnout/compassion fatigue. Additionally, I specialize in working with First Responders/Health Professionals and PTSD/Trauma.
I focus on your individual values and helping you discover a meaning-centered life. I believe that therapies and the therapeutic relationship are as unique as the individual, while one style may suit you, it may not suit others. I am mindful of each individual who walks through the door.
Over the last 17 years I've been on a journey to figure out what it means to be emotionally healthy. Despite all my education, which includes three Masters Degrees and a postgrad certificate in comedy writing and performing (I'm not sure why I did that one), I'm the first to say that life has been my greatest teacher... that and my wife. She has been very good at helping me see life from a more diverse perspective and to grow in my understanding of healthy conflict resolution, communication, and forgiving (aka be a better person). My goal is to live in a way that will inspire others to want to be healthier rather than to follow what my dad used to joke saying, "Do as I say; not as I do," which is not what you want in a therapist. My style is a mix of CBT, DBT, EFT, solution focused, and logic therapy with my main goal being to help others figure out what it means to be more emotionally healthy a lot quicker than my journey of 17 years.
Some of my specialisations include working with anxiety, perfectionism, teen experiences, relationship challenges and working through the impacts of trauma.

The Thoughts is a unique innovation of my strong believe -
The root cause of every problem is in our thoughts and the solution to these problems is also hidden in our thoughts (by Satvinder K Khurme, MSW, RSW).
With over 20 years of experience, I am committed in assisting individuals, couples and families to resolve problems that affect their day-to-day lives within the context of their families, communities and workplaces.
Accepting NEW Clients – Do you feel like you’re never good enough, like you have to be perfect, or that you have to prove yourself to others? Are you tired of looking back on the things you said or did in order to try to be accepted and liked? Do you wish you could focus on putting yourself first, and making your needs/wellbeing a priority? Do you struggle with confidence or self-esteem, or stress, anxiety, and low-mood? Together we can look at exploring the strengths, relationships, and experiences that have got you to this point, and move forward in a way that reconnects you with yourself and your goals.
As a social worker, my goal is to provide support to individuals to overcome challenges through the use of evidence-based practice, support and clinical experience. Whether you are experiencing a life transition, recent loss, feeling down, relationship or general concerns, I am here to help. As each individual and their presenting concerns are unique, we will work together to tailor an approach that works best for your needs. While therapy may include serious matters, I believe therapy should also be engaging and enjoyable. My role is to support you to promote meaningful change to feel your best and live the life you envision.In addition to counselling, I hold a teaching position at Mohawk College and work frontline in Healthcare. I specialize in transitions, care and placement for older adults, chronic illness and acceptance with new diagnosis.
