As I wind down for a long weekend away from my office, I’m reminded that gratitude doesn’t mean life is perfect. We can hold space for what’s difficult while still noticing the moments of connection, growth, love, joy, or simply contentment.

As a therapist, I’m grateful to witness the courage it takes to heal - and for the small moments that remind us we’re not alone. 🤎🐾

Wishing you a Thanksgiving filled with compassion, connection, and finding some moments to pause.

I’ve been thinking about the connection between social media and therapy, and one thing I know for sure is that what happens in the therapy room matters far more than what happens on a screen.
As a therapist, I know social media can be a helpful way to share information and make conversations about mental health more accessible. But our online presence is only a small part of who we are.

Good therapy happens in the unseen work: listening carefully, creating a space that feels supportive, sitting with what is difficult, and building a meaningful therapeutic relationship.

So, if you don’t see me much on here, I’m probably doing those things—or, if I’m being completely honest, catching up on notes and admin work!

When you share you are a therapist with others, sometimes people believe that we only share heavy sessions. While this absolutely happens, there is so much more to sessions! I love sessions that stumble upon what have commonly been referred to as ‘aha’ moments.

What if it could be different?
What if you could feel closer?
More understood.
More connected.
More like a team.

Couples counselling is not all about resolving conflict.
A therapist can help you slow down, understand each other more deeply, and create space for closer connection.🤍
I am currently accepting new couples clients.

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day.
If you are worried about someone, ask. Listen. You don’t need the perfect words-just courage to start the conversation.
Asking someone, ‘Are you thinking about su***de?’ does not put the idea in their head or cause su***de. It can open the door to an honest conversation and help someone feel less alone.

If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 in Canada for 24/7 crisis support.

Sometimes our inner dialogue sounds like motivation - but it is actually self-criticism wearing a productive disguise. I talk a lot about self compassion in therapy, and I assure you that this does not mean we need to lower our standards. It means finding a voice you’d actually want with you on a difficult day🤍

The pressure to make every moment ‘count’ can steal joy from the season itself.🌿
