We all have unfinished business - those life experiences that have not been adequately processed or resolved have a lasting presence in our lives. Counselling gives us the opportunity to explore the role our unfinished business is playing in our lives currently. This exploration looks different for everyone but the destination looks similar - an increased sense of self, better awareness of your needs, and the ability to challenge the roadblocks that have been getting in the way of your healing.

I have experience in helping people with depression, chronic pain, anxiety (e.g., panic disorder, generalized anxiety, social anxiety), and PTSD associated with motor vehicle accidents. I also help people with difficulties coping with other stressors (e.g., work) by addressing assertive communication skills, supporting clients with problem solving and processing meaning of life events.

If you feel stuck, drained, lost, numb, and find it difficult to feel joy and happiness; if you feel the tension that is constantly activated and stealing your energy away; and if you feel exhausted and unmotivated; there is a great chance that you carry some undigested and repressed emotions and experiences. If Trauma is left unattended, it could diminish the quality of life. If you feel that life handed you more than you can handle, it can be paralyzing.

I have specific training and professional experience assisting persons dealing with grief/loss, anxiety, depression, reproductive mental health and fertility, as well as struggles with relationships, self esteem and trauma. I come from a place of openness and compassion while intentionally supporting you in moving towards a place of positive change.

I have been helping people work through trauma and tough life situations for over 25 years. Sometimes it is just about finding the right connection to the right person to move your life forward. I believe every client has a unique story that is their own and so I will work to determine what therapy plan would work best for you. There are no generic treatment plans. You are the expert on you. Together we will work to find your pathway to healing and how to turn life back on again, if it feels like its been turned off.

As you search for a counsellor you might look for counsellors with similar values. Here are mine: Goodness. I believe we are all striving to do the best we can with what we were given. Redemption. I believe we can all learn from mistakes. Connection. I believe being connected to others is healing from many past hurts and is protective against future stress. Equality. I am a feminist in that I believe in equal rights for people of all genders, races, sexual orientations. Authenticity. I strive to create a life I want to live. I would love to help you be who you really are.

In this moment, you are thinking about opening a new conversation. Perhaps this is an easy step for you and perhaps it is very unfamiliar and uncomfortable. Either way, you are preparing to step towards support that feels right. How brave and wise a step that can be. If you feel drawn, I invite you to talk to me. Let’s talk about what is going on for you. About what you are feeling, what you are fearing, what you are avoiding. About how you are managing now and what you are hoping for in your future. All of this matters; all of this deserves time and support.

Life can be really challenging. I believe that everyone has a unique story and I consider it a gift to be able to work with clients to pursue healing, wellness and fullness as they navigate through life’s challenges. For the past 12 years I have been helping people work through trauma and both the past and present impact this can have on us. I have personally dealt with anxiety for over 20 years so I understand the challenges that can come with overall mental health. Through the years I have accumulated many tools and techniques to help overcome the stressors of everyday life.

I recognize the significance of finding a therapist with whom we can truly connect. I have personally experienced anxiety, depression, and the challenges of being a human, a woman, a mother, an immigrant, an ex-pat, and someone who has undergone numerous life changes. As a result, I can deeply empathize and relate to the experiences of many people.

Are you looking for someone to lean on and share without judgment? My approach to therapy is listening with an open heart. There was a time I did not speak up and if I did, I thought people would be critical of me. I was extremely self-conscious, it took a crisis in my life to reach out for help. I am here today to tell you that this experience shifted my life tremendously. The crisis was an end of a relationship and a suicide in my family. I ended up going back to school after over 20’s years in the same job and I am a counsellor today. Choosing the right counsellor is important and this relationship should feel connective.

I've been working as a counsellor for five years now and truly enjoy the opportunity to work with all clients hoping to develop a stronger sense of self and/or work through various life challenges. I have a particular interest in life transitions such as graduation, career change, or the end of a relationship. Depression and anxiety are also areas of session focus. I see great power in identifying core values, areas of strength and areas for growth. I use this knowledge to help clients create positive change. These unique times require an adaptive mindset and I'm here to help clients find solutions that move them forward.

If we all could have the option to be supported and heard with our struggles, to be connected and cared for, perhaps our ability to move through them and towards our goals would be different.

It was through her own personal journey that Trish came to find her expertise as a Somatic Psychotherapist; helping individuals, couples and families step into balance, health and connection so that they can live in joy, vibrancy and passion! After full recovery from a skiing accident that had her in a wheel chair for months, she began to feel uptight all the time, depressed, had unhealthy eating patterns, an autoimmune diagnosis, and disconnect in her marriage. She had forgotten all about joy, vibrance & passion or how to even reach for those things. If you have ever experienced these feelings & lack connection, Trish can help.

People tend to feel more satisfied when their actions align with their values, their relationships are based on authenticity, and they are able to meaningfully participate in their communities. As you think about making changes in your life, you may feel stuck, unclear about your goals, overwhelmed by the journey, or affected by unresolved issues and past traumas. It is my goal to help you feel more hopeful, supported, and capable, as well as to provide you with the skills that can help you move forward with more clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
Most Counsellors and Psychotherapists listed in the directory are certified by one of the main professional associations, mainly the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA), and will have a Certified Canadian Counsellor (CCC) designation with their name. Social Workers listed in the directory must be registered members of the college specific to their province. To be listed in the directory, Psychologists must be registered with the psychological college specific to their province or territory.
Providers whose professional membership or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Given the considerable variation in professional regulation and prerequisites across Canadian provinces, some providers may possess significant professional qualifications without necessarily holding professional memberships or being obliged to acquire them. As a result, they may be selectively included without the "Verified" seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Psychologists, counsellors, psychotherapists and social workers can all provide counselling or talking therapy and have credentials and supervised, practical experience that enable them to do so in Canada.
Psychologists have a master's and/or doctoral degree and have passed both written and oral exams. Psychologists are able to complete mental health assessments and provide diagnostic information to clients as well as provide counselling therapy or psychotherapy. Counsellors and psychotherapists are expected to have a master's or doctoral degree in counselling psychology, social work, or a related mental health discipline and certification by a professional association, such as the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. Registered Social Workers possess a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Social Work and where possible must be licensed or certified by the provincial government and/or regulatory college.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, the cost of a therapy session in Canada could be between $100 and $200. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
If you are struggling to access therapy due to budget constraints, you could also consider public funded mental health services. Some types of outpatient mental health services are covered by Medicare, provided these are performed by a licensed mental health professional in the provinces or territory you reside in and who accepts the assignment.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postal code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Professionals licensed by regulatory colleges and those certified by associations such as the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association are obligated to uphold client confidentiality unless there is a legal reason that requires them to disclose information. Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship and only under specific circumstances, such as when there is the potential or known harm to the client or others, or a court order, will a therapist be obligated to break the agreement. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed during the initial consultation.
