My intention for you, as a therapist, is to be with you with compassion and skill to help you through life's difficult times and to help you reach your greater potential. We will work together, in a supportive environment, to increase resilience and wisdom so you can be better able to access, communicate and actualize your inner needs. Most of the clients I see are burdened by anxiety, depression, relationship problems and/or trauma. I have resources and strategies that address these all too common concerns.

Many of my clients initially struggle with negative self-talk, thought spirals, mood swings and fatigue. If mindfulness or meditation hasn’t worked for you, I teach unconventional bite-sized practices that can fit into your busy life.

I specialize in treating trauma and PTSD. Trauma comes in many forms: a single event, childhood, medical or just "something" that affects an individual internally. Trauma therapy involves facilitating psychological healing, self-growth and understanding. We will work to identify core beliefs that immerged due to life experiences, then begin to process and manage them with a sense of support, confidence and strength.

Sometimes, we go through tough times like depression, anxiety, or trauma, and it can be easy to forget the strength and abilities we already possess, leaving us feeling like there’s no way out.

At times life can take us far away from ourselves, and each day can feel challenging. While therapy cannot remove our challenges, or erase our past, it can allow us to manage more effectively, and discover we are more resilient than we ever imagined. I work with youths and adults on a broad range of topics such as emotional regulation, anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, grief, postpartum depression, self-esteem/body image issues, and parenting or relationship challenges. If you are looking to change unhelpful patterns, unhealthy coping mechanisms, and want to build a more fulfilling life, take that first step and reach out.

Hello, I’m Julia (she/her)! You have done all you possibly can to “get better,” and resume your normal life, but it seems that nothing will budge. You’re stuck trying to work through old habits and patterns that just don’t seem to go away. I’ve been in your shoes, and I understand the difficulty of acknowledging that you have done your best but may benefit from the support of a professional. It is daunting, nerve-wracking, and sometimes, shameful, and it requires bravery and strength to move past the fear of opening up to others. If you have done all the personal healing and feel like there is no end in sight, I’m here to help.

Are you or someone you love between the ages of 12-24 and seeking mental health support? You are not alone. We know it hasn’t been easy these past few years and we see the impact on youth mental health. Early intervention for youth is so critical for better health outcomes later in life. When youth are empowered towards a greater sense of wellness they interact with the world around them in a positive and dynamic way. Providing a safe space where youth can talk openly about their lived experiences as they work towards their mental health goals is transformative in itself.

Vulnerability can be incredibly scary! Finding someone we genuinely connect with, someone with whom we feel comfortable enough to share our personal stories, can feel challenging. Hi, my name is Ines (she/her). I, too, have been in the same place you are now. That's why my primary focus is to create a safe enough, supportive, and compassionate space where you can share your journey, and I will be there to listen. Drawing from my own experiences with mental health, I am deeply passionate about this work and firmly believe in the significance of understanding the mind-body-soul connection.

Personally and professionally, I have experienced the power of finding language that describes who we are and of being seen and supported in telling and retelling the stories that shape us. One of the ways we make sense of our experiences is through stories, both that we hold internally and that we share with others. It has been my honour and joy to join people in finding new and old meaning in their stories.

I help anxious, perfectionistic, and highly sensitive people transform their relationship with their body to feel calm and confident as they navigate their life forward. You feel exhausted as your mind and body remind you each moment of every day of being consumed with anxiety. Not being understood by those closest to you, has you feeling alone. You may have ideas about what led to this, or maybe it came suddenly and you want to understand why. It’s here and feels fierce as it feels all consuming. You are trapped in your mind, ruminating about what has happened, while you wish it was different. You feel "stuck,” and want a change.
