Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), Student intern

Hi, I'm Olivia

Life can feel overwhelming sometimes. Maybe you’re navigating a difficult season, feeling stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand, or trying to make sense of experiences that have stayed with you. Whatever brings you to therapy, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Having a space to slow down, talk things through, and better understand yourself can help things feel a little more manageable.


I believe that the way we think, feel, and respond is shaped by our experiences, relationships, and the ways we’ve learned to navigate the world. Sometimes, patterns that once helped us get through difficult situations no longer serve us in the same way. Therapy offers an opportunity to get curious about these patterns, understand yourself more deeply, and explore new ways of relating to yourself and others. My approach is collaborative and grounded in the belief that meaningful change begins with understanding, connection, and making sense of your own experiences.


You don’t need to have all the answers or know exactly where to begin. You can show up as you are, with whatever is on your mind, and we’ll take it from there. My hope is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself, exploring the things that feel difficult to talk about, and figuring out what moving forward looks like for you. You don’t have to have it all together to begin.

Hi, I'm Samantha

You may be carrying a lot right now. Maybe you're navigating grief, caring for someone who is seriously ill, experiencing anxiety or panic, or trying to find your footing after a life change that has shifted how you see yourself and the world. You might be trying to hold everything together while feeling overwhelmed, or wondering how to make sense of what you're experiencing.


I believe therapy can be a space to slow down, make sense of what's happening, and explore what matters most to you. My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in the understanding that our experiences are shaped by our histories, relationships, and circumstances. I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches, tailoring our work to your needs rather than expecting you to fit into a particular framework.


I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating grief, illness, anxiety, and complex life transitions. My background in leadership, advocacy, and people-focused roles continues to shape how I show up: with curiosity, humility, and respect for the complexity of people's lives. Outside of therapy, I'm passionate about books, animals, the Brontës, cats, and social justice.


You don't need to have everything figured out before we begin. We'll start where you are and work together toward a way forward that feels meaningful to you.

Hi, I'm Brisha

You’re holding a lot—and maybe you’ve learned to hide it well. But at some point, survival mode stops feeling like enough. You want to feel grounded, seen, and connected—not just functioning.


As a proud member of the BIWOC community, I hold space that honours cultural identity, intergenerational stories, and the complexity of what it means to show up fully in your life. I bring my whole self into session, meeting you with compassion, curiosity, and a little lightness when it’s needed most.


My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and deeply collaborative. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, substance use, or the impact of relational trauma, I’ll meet you with empathy—not a checklist. Together, we’ll explore what healing looks like for you.

Therapy with me might include metaphors, bold questions, and even a laugh or two. Because healing doesn’t have to be heavy all the time—and you don’t have to carry it alone.

Hi, I'm Nadia

Things might look fine on the outside—but inside, you feel off. Maybe you’re overwhelmed, shut down, or just stuck in a loop you can’t explain. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need a place to start.


I work with teens and adults facing all kinds of challenges: anxiety, stress, life transitions, identity questions, or that foggy sense that something isn’t quite right. My approach is calm, honest, and flexible. We’ll figure out what works for you—no pressure to follow a script or force anything that doesn’t feel real.


I show up as a person first, therapist second. I think therapy should feel like a real conversation, not an evaluation. Whether you’re feeling lost or simply want more clarity, I’ll meet you where you are.


You don’t have to be “ready” to start—just curious enough to begin.

Hi, I'm Stéphanie

Before becoming a therapist, I served for 15 years in the Canadian Armed Forces, including time with the Special Forces. That experience shaped how I show up: grounded, empathetic, and attuned to the weight people often carry beneath the surface.


My approach is warm, collaborative, and client-centered. I believe therapy works best when we are real with one another. You do not need to perform or explain things perfectly—just come as you are. I am trained in the Gottman Method and Emotion-Focused Therapy for Couples, and I hold a certificate in perinatal mental health. I draw from a variety of theories and modalities, tailoring my approach to fit the unique needs and preferences of each client. I work with adults, couples, and teens navigating stress, relationship difficulties, identity, trauma, or life transitions. I often integrate psychoeducation into sessions to support long-term insight and self-trust. Our sessions together can be carried out in English or French.


Whether you are working through something specific or simply looking for more clarity, I will walk alongside you, without judgment, at your pace. Therapy is not always easy—but it does not have to be intimidating. Finding the right fit matters. If you are ready to explore how we might work together, I would be honoured to hold space for your story.

Hi, I'm Ioana

Being human is hard sometimes. Therapy should help—not make it harder. If you’re looking for real, down-to-earth therapy (without the clinical stiffness), you’re in the right place.


I work with adults and teens navigating a variety of mental health struggles. My approach is deeply relational and flexible—I draw from IFS (Internal Family Systems), Polyvagal theory, Somatic Experiencing, narrative therapy, EMDR, and Gottman, adapting in real time to meet you exactly where you are.


One of the most important things to know about me is that I show up as a real person first, and a therapist second. I don’t believe in hierarchy—I believe in collaboration. You bring the lived experience—I bring the tools, curiosity, and support. Together, we make sense of your story in a way that feels grounded and real.


My sessions are built on authenticity, curiosity, and compassion. I integrate a lot of psychoeducation along the way to reduce shame, build understanding, and help you feel empowered in your own process. Whether you’re working through trauma, navigating neurodivergence, or just trying to make sense of it all—I hold a space where all parts of you are welcome.
