We may not be able to control the external events or the actions of people around us; we can choose to respond in ways that strengthen and empower us, regardless of the situation we face. It is my belief and experience that by looking inwards, we can transform the impacts of our past and create a different future and perspective for ourselves.

Life can throw challenges our way that feel overwhelming and unmanageable. Coming to a realization that we could use help, and seeking a therapist are big steps. The therapeutic relationship offers a unique space to look at and discuss deeply personal content in a safe, non-judgmental environment. It can feel like a big risk to open up about our struggles. I encourage anyone seeking therapy to search for a therapist that they feel comfortable with. I believe it is my job to foster trust and safety so that we can work through difficult feelings. From my perspective, there is no definitive ranking of problems.

I'm a Registered Psychologist who works with people facing stress/anxiety, panic, life transitions, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, and related concerns. I work with teens and adults.

I bring decades of experience helping emergency services and health care professionals find solutions to the cumulative stress they experience every day in their jobs. Without a safe place to work through these normal reactions to abnormal events, careers can be cut short and the families of these professionals struggle as well. Together we can find solutions for work related stress and other issues such as: the impact on the families, grief and loss, addiction/recovery and enhance existing coping skills. I enjoy working with a wide range of age groups from young adult to adult.

Anyone including individuals, couples and families in need of counselling will benefit from coming to see me. I have had many years experience working with youth and adults. The area I particularly enjoy working with is trauma, both childhood and more recent traumatic experiences such as car accidents, abuse, or other traumatic incidents. I work collaboratively with my clients to determine what their goals are and what therapy will be the most useful. I have been trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and find this very effective in working with trauma.

As a trauma-informed clinical counsellor and play therapist, I am dedicated to helping children, youth, and families feel more connected and confident. I believe that individuals have an innate wisdom and creativity that guides their healing journey. Working with children, I draw from an integrative non-directive play therapy approach. Through art and play, children can freely process their experiences in a safe and non-judgemental environment. Working with youth, I integrate art, somatic, and talk-based therapies to help clients navigate social-emotional concerns, anxiety, depression, sexuality and gender concerns, and trauma.

Seeking counselling could be a life changing experience and could be scary as well. Esther came from a culture that did not necessary see counselling as needed and so going through her own journey of finding a counsellor felt scary, overwhelming, and at times discouraging. Over the years of Esther's career, she has met people with similar fears and have had some ask the following question, " how do I find the right therapist that understands me, sees me, and could connect with me in creating a healing space that feels right for me". This is where Esther comes in with her experience to support you in finding what feels right.
