We have several different counsellors with a range of experience and expertise to meet your needs.

We also offer crisis appointments, so in the event that you can't wait for an appointment, we'll do our best to fit you in. At Cardinal Counselling and Mediation we also offer a wide range of separation and divorce services, from counselling aimed at helping you to decide if separating is right for you, to providing counselling for any children who may be impacted by the change in their living situation, to helping to work out the details of a separation agreement and/or parenting plan. We even have lawyers that we are able to refer you to for independent legal advice. If you are unsure if Cardinal Counselling and Mediation is able to offer a service that would be helpful to you, contact us and we'll talk to you about your individual situation to ensure that any service you access is right for you. All of the counsellors at Cardinal Counselling and Mediation are registered with their professional organizations and governing bodies. Also, we encourage everyone to check with any extended health benefits they may have to see if they are covered for social work services, as the majority of our counsellors have a Master of Social Work degree and are Registered Social Workers (MSW, RSW). You'll know when it is time to call, when it is, we'll be here to help.

Let's talk about your relationships with yourself, your body, your family, friends, other loved ones, colleagues, your addiction, your stress, work, life purpose, nature, society, the earth, spirit, etc. All are welcome in the session. The more awareness that is developed around the nature of those relationships, the more conscious your choices and behaviours will be, and the more authentic you will become as a person. I believe this is essential for achieving optimal health. My practice involves one on one consultations in which we employ a variety of psychotherapeutic modalities, primarily psychodynamic and experiential in orientation, toward a greater understanding of oneself in the context of one's life.

Experienced, caring and trained therapist who provides therapy that is evidence based and backed up by research to be effective for anxiety, depression, addiction, post postpartum, anger management, grief and loss and other areas of mental health. First and foremost I work from a person centred approach and incorporate narrative therapy, mindfulness and brief solution focused therapy. Telling our stories of grief, pain, love and triumph can release the grip they may have on us or build us up as we so deserve. I also utilize aspects of cognitive behavioural therapy throughout my sessions as our thought processes can strongly impact our story writing and how we interpret ours and other’s stories.

I am a registered psychotherapist specializing in individual, couples and family therapy. I am trained and experienced in the delivery of online therapy for the past ten years. I believe you are the expert in your life and even though you may not know it, you have all the answers within you. Unfortunately, sometimes life can make accessing these answers difficult. Trauma, mental health issues such as anxiety and depression, addiction, work, family and relationship pressures can all impact our ability to connect to peace and happiness.

I believe in tailoring our therapeutic process to your unique needs and goals. My approach to therapy focuses on helping you become comfortable and confident in your own abilities, while introducing new strategies from evidence-based modalities to help you create a healthier and happier life. I use a variety of humanistic, cognitive-behavioural, dialectical, psychodynamic and mindfulness approaches.

In my experience, and according to research, the biggest factor in how well therapy works is the client-therapist relationship. That’s one reason you can expect me to be genuine, empathetic, positive, and affirming. Also, I don’t have a “one size fits all” approach to therapy. Instead, I will work with you to custom-fit a therapy experience based on your unique needs and expressed concerns.

After the consultation, if you feel comfortable, you can proceed to schedule your therapy sessions. Beginning Your Therapy Once you decide to move forward, your therapy sessions will begin.
