Hi, my name is Wendy and I would like to help you live your best self-aware life. My approach is holistic, empathic, and non-judgmental. Together, we can create a customized counseling plan to get to the root of common life challenges and empower you to be the strongest version of yourself. I work with families, couples and individuals from all walks of life. I am particularly drawn to young women who are negotiating life’s challenges. I began my career as a nurse and eventually found my way into community mental health. After years of working from a medical model I pursued a Masters in Counselling to deepen my understanding of the mind-body-spiritual connection within psychology. This translates into my holistic approach to mental wellness. I care deeply for my clients and go the extra mile by making out-of-session suggestions of readings, podcasts, and webinars to supplement your journey. Congratulations on making this first bold step. It is not an easy one but seeking help is a sign of strength and only the beginning of a bright new future.

I am passionate about working with children, teens, young adults, and the young at heart! With my younger clients, I typically work from a play-based approach which means our work is done through play! We get to create and use our imaginations to help sort through those experiences that may have been challenging for us. This can look like painting or drawing, creating scenes in the sand tray, engaging in dramatic play with puppets, or plushies, or even ourselves!

With adults, I work from an integrative approach, which means we work together to use the tools that fit best for you. Therapy is work, but it is also collaborative. It only makes sense that we would engage in ways that you can connect with and derive meaning from, while coming from a place of relationship.

Regardless of age, when you’re in the room with me you get to decide what you need. I believe that you know what’s best for you and have the innate abilities necessary to make the changes you want to make. I am here to support, encourage, and provide connection with you along the way.

Coming to therapy is a decision, and often not an easy one to make. I congratulate you for making it this far! That tells me that you’ve already begun to reflect on your needs and might be thinking about taking the next step toward making a change in your life. When you’re ready, I would be honoured to support you in taking that next step.

I am a therapist working with adults and couples to overcome a variety of issues related to mental health and interpersonal growth. Whether it’s your relationships, struggles with addictions, career, or everyday stressors, managing everything that life throws at you can be overwhelming. Accomplishing your goals can feel impossible when you feel lost, anxious, or defeated. No matter what the obstacle is, I believe that with insight and the right tools, every person has the ability to grow and achieve a sense of personal fulfillment. My mission is to empower each of my clients by helping them to recognize their strengths and purpose.

As a Clinician, I use Client Directed Outcome Informed Therapy as an approach to treatment, CDOI is not specifically structured, which makes it unique. Based on the research that suggests no one model of therapy is superior to another in terms of efficacy, CDOI does not utilize any fixed techniques or causal theories but draws from all techniques.

I work with men and women faced with a variety of personal challenges including, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, and addiction. I would love to assist you to tap into your own innate resources and build skills to effectively manage your emotions and personal challenges, to find acceptance and peace in your life.

I believe that we are all creative beings regardless of our personality, background, or current state of life. I am here to help you discover yourself, explore your experiences and navigate emotions using whichever form of creative expression feels right for you.

I am passionate about using art as a therapy modality. Countless times, I have witnessed its strength as a healing tool with a variety of clients. I believe that we are all “artists” – it doesn’t matter if you love to create or have never picked up any kind of art material! There is a place for everyone in art therapy, as we all have the potential for expressing ourselves creatively in some way. In our work together we may draw, paint, work with clay, build things, create a comic book, look at pictures, visualize images, listen to music, knit, write, or talk… the options are endless and completely unique to you! Art can provide a language to describe feelings, thoughts and life experiences that are hard to put into words. The act of creation can also be deeply relaxing and calming, which can help to ease conversation and bring a sense of comfort to the therapy space.

With children and teens, I integrate art, games and play to tell stories, explore emotions, and connect internal and external experience. I highlight the child’s strengths and find opportunities for them to develop and thrive using their own imagination and skills.

Many adults believe they’re unsuited to art therapy, but I promise you this isn’t true. Your needs are most important to me. With adults, we use whichever combination of verbal and creative expression feels most comfortable for you. We work together to explore emotions and life situations and reach your therapeutic goals.

I work mainly from a client-centered, solution-focused approach, meaning that your health and well-being are the most important to me and I value connection and trust in our therapeutic relationship. I believe that humans are innately resilient, and I will always be watching for your strengths and capabilities. I also have education in the areas of trauma, narrative therapy, attachment and other integrative approaches which we can tailor to best fit your personal needs.

When life becomes foggy with transitions, extra responsibilities, social and familial pressures, it can quickly feel like too much.

My work lies in supporting you to move towards a more manageable, inviting path. Tell me your story and together we can take those first steps to honouring, healing, and growth.

I work with adults and couples. I bring a strong level of expertise particularly to those who have struggled with addiction and trauma; whether you are the individual struggling in these areas, or you are a loved one who has been trying to help. You may find you are exhausted and confused by the time you arrive here, often minimizing the courage it took for you to ask for help. I aim to affirm this courage and nurture hope.

The individualized therapeutic plan we collaborate on together will be reflective of your unique strengths and values and will help you to identify and navigate toward your needs and goals. My respectful and compassionate encouragement helps you to be curious about unhelpful patterns of behaviour that might have originated from a necessary place of protection, but which are now no longer serving you. Challenging and letting go of those old notions to make space for empowering, life-enhancing behaviours is possible, and you do not have to do this alone!

The work we do may draw on interventions stemming from cognitive behaviour therapy including dialectical behaviour therapy, as well as positive psychology interventions and psychoeducational strategies to increase self-awareness, self-compassion, and empowerment, as well as emotional regulation. Where situations warrant trauma-focused therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy and/or Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction Therapy may also be used.
