Psychotherapy In The City

Psychotherapy In The City Making Sense Together: Individual & Couple Psychotherapist. Registered Psychotherapist, Relationship Expert & Life Coach. Everyone’s story is different.

Making Sense Together: Individual Counselling
I work with people on understanding themselves, being more self aware and their relationship with others. I do this by working with my clients in discovering patterns, understanding their organizing principals and themselves with others. People come to see me for many reasons. Some might be feeling stuck, dealing with a tough moment in their life and need someone to listen to them and help make sense of what is happening for them. Everyone's story is different. I can help. Some of the areas of my work:
Depression & Anxiety
Addictions
Relationship Counseling
Unresolved Childhood Issues
Self Worth Issues (inner and outer self image)
Mental Health Concerns
Career and/or Big life Changes
First Time Partent Anxieties
Infertility Issues
LGBT Issues
Loss & Grief

Working With Couples to Building a Stronger Connection: Working with couples is about understanding both individuals and how they come together. My job is to help you navigate through your relationship and help you both feel more connected throughout communication and intimacy. Parent Counselling: A deeper self-understanding can help you raise children to thrive. Parent Therapy is a good practice to understand your own experiences and feelings around life and parenting and how this may impact your child. For expecting parents as well.

Have you ever felt like you’ve tried everything — therapy, medication, self-help — but still wake up each morning with that same heaviness or stuck-feeling? You’re not alone.

In this post, I explore Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy: what it is, how it works, and why it’s giving me hope — especially for folks whose minds are bound in patterns of fear, grief, or shame that feel impossible to unravel through talk therapy alone.

It’s not a magic wand. It’s not about escaping. But it can be a gentle way in: loosening rigid thoughts, softening self-criticism, opening new paths toward healing.

Let’s talk through what might be possible when “everything else” has already been tried.

Back-to-School can be both exciting and overwhelming for kids and parents alike.📚

As routines shift, new expectations arise, and social dynamics change, it’s normal for children and teens to feel a mix of excitement and anxiety. Parents often feel it too!

👉 Supporting your child’s mental health during this transition starts with open communication, consistency, and compassion (for them and yourself).

You’ve got this and you’re not alone.

✨ Fun Fact #2: Did you know we offer therapy in multiple languages? 🌍 Many of our therapists speak more than one language, making it easier for clients to feel understood and supported in the language that feels most natural to them.
