I see therapy as a space where all parts of you are honoured; your story, experiences, pain, strength, and your body that contains it all. At the heart of my work is the belief that healing happens in safe, attuned relationships. I began my career as a therapist in India, where I was privileged enough to witness and be invited into the inner worlds of my clients. These experiences were foundational to my therapeutic lens and taught me that the deepest healing expands beyond the personal and into communal and cultural realms. I believe that a secure therapeutic relationship is the foundation of meaningful change and that when trust and safety are present, new possibilities for change can emerge.

Often, my work involves joining those who are navigating the impacts of adversity and trauma. Many of my clients are living with the weight of childhood trauma, partner violence, sexual violence, physical/emotional abuse, unexpected life events, systemic oppression, and other forms of trauma. Others reach out seeking support with depression, anxiety, adult ADHD, emotional regulation, life transitions or relationship challenges. If you recognize yourself in these experiences, you are not alone, and healing is possible.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in trauma-informed care, which recognizes how experiences of harm or disempowerment shape the way we move through the world. I believe my clients are the experts of their own lives, and my role is a supportive one, guiding them towards reconnection with their values and authentic selves. Therefore, my practice emphasizes safety, choice, collaboration, and empowerment at every step.

I embrace the philosophy that distress is carried in the body, and I help clients attune to the wisdom of their nervous system by working from the body up to the mind. I integrate somatic experiencing, mindfulness-based practices, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and narrative therapy to tend to body and mind. This flexible approach allows me to meet my clients where they are, offering both immediate tools for managing distress while also creating space for deeper, long-term connection and healing.

As a racialized woman and neurodivergent clinician, I carry a particular sensitivity to how systemic barriers and intersecting identities shape emotional safety and, in turn, mental health. This allows me to create an inclusive space that welcomes and affirms clients who are gender diverse, racialized, culturally diverse, or neurodivergent, while maintaining cultural humility and openness with everyone I meet.

Therapy is not about fixing, rather it’s about reconnecting. I am deeply committed to welcoming every part of you, and co-creating an environment wherein you can slow down and notice the stories you’re carrying, the wisdom your body holds, and the paths towards healing that just need the space to unfold.

I would be honoured to walk alongside you on your path toward becoming.

I am a dedicated Registered Provisional Psychologist with 6 years of practical experience in the mental health field. I work with adults and am passionate about supporting clients struggling with stress and burnout, anxiety, depression, and ADHD.

Many folks are weighed down by the ever-increasing demands of modern-day life. Without effective coping strategies, we become paralyzed by the effects of stress and burnout. In our work, we will explore your symptoms, identify triggers, and develop coping and boundary setting skills to alleviate your discomfort. We will also create a plan to help you refocus on what matters most to you and prevent future burnout.

I have a special interest in supporting students in managing the challenges of academic life. Navigating how to juggle school responsibilities alongside social, family, and work expectations can be draining. I will give you the tools to cope with stress, clarify your priorities, and explore your identity, needs, and values during this pivotal time. I want to help you experience the joy and success of this exciting time in your life.

I also support men’s mental health, as well as clients struggling with anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. I understand seeking support for the first time can feel overwhelming and I am here to help you navigate this journey, uncover the cycles that keep you stuck, and build coping skills that draw on your strengths.

I believe you deserve to live a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling. In our work together, we will adapt and grow, discovering helpful skills and insights that foster hope and resilience. I don’t believe in “one-size-fits-all” approaches to counselling and use an eclectic approach, tailoring my methods to suit your distinct needs. I primarily draw from Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and strengths-based approaches. I utilize Art Therapy as an effective modality to access, process, and heal from painful experiences, a particularly helpful tool for individuals who struggle with self-expression and exploring their inner experiences. Engaging creatively with colors, paints, and pastels can help calm your nervous system, increase your self-awareness, and foster emotional healing.

I genuinely consider it an honor to be by your side during this time. I am eager to hear your unique story and I will hold space for you every step of the way. Let’s shine light into the dark and embark on a path towards self-discovery and self-acceptance.

Throughout my career in nursing and psychology, I have undertaken many different roles, experienced big life transitions, and learned how to draw on my life experience, in combination with my education and professional training, to support those I am caring for. My own lived experience as a medical professional has guided my training and my approach to supporting clients navigating both first-hand & vicarious trauma, stress & burnout, depression & anxiety, self-esteem, and relationship issues.

I am passionate about working with individuals and couples who are navigating the impacts of infertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and loss. Throughout my 12yr nursing career specializing in labour and delivery, I witnessed the cycles of joy and trauma that accompany these big moments and major life changes. I hold a unique understanding for the ways that these deeply personal and intimate experiences stir up a range of feelings, including anger, pain, isolation, hopelessness, and overwhelm. My work with both individuals and couples who are navigating these life events includes supporting them in exploring and understanding the impacts of these experiences on themselves and their relationship, processing trauma, navigating grief, and learning new tools to support them in the next phase of life.

Having been a health care worker for many years, I know firsthand the intensity and demanding nature of a career in the medical field; and how challenging it can be to compartmentalize and separate professional identity from self identity. When your career is centered around taking care of others, it can feel foreign to prioritize taking care of yourself, and it’s typically you and your relationships that suffer. This lens allows me to support folks in the medical field by helping them process traumatic work-related experiences and reconnecting with the people, hobbies and interests that remind them of who they are beyond their work.

I also enjoy supporting young adults navigating the confusion and challenges associated with managing the responsibilities of the present and the uncertainty of what future may hold, all while trying to enjoy their life. Transitions like entering the workforce upon graduation, working a first full time job, changing friend groups and establishing healthy relationships are complex and, sometimes, overwhelming. My goal is to support my clients in integrating the identity, role, and responsibility shifts with self-compassion and tangible tools to make these transitions smoother.

In my clinical practice, I draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, and my couples’ work is supplemented by training in the Gottman Method. My therapeutic lens is informed by feminist and multicultural perspectives, which recognize the many factors that shape us as humans living in a complicated world. Finally, I bring a wealth of lived experiences from my nursing career, living in various rural and urban settings both in and outside of Canada, and, of course, my counselling training.

I know how difficult it can be to share your most vulnerable experiences with someone, so I work hard to ensure that you feel heard and seen throughout our work together. Your life and experiences are yours alone; I don’t consider myself an expert on your life and will always centre your self-knowledge. I am honoured to walk alongside you in your therapeutic journey and can’t wait to learn about you and from you in our sessions.

I am currently unable to accept new Couples clients, please consider one of my wonderful colleagues instead!

Nikki works with adult individuals and couples.

I respect that everyone experiences life differently and comes to therapy with their own story. At times, the voice that tells the story is self-criticizing and judgmental, making us feel powerless. My hope for of our work together is that you come back to yourself and recognize your inherent strength and capacity for growth. I will meet you in a space of authenticity and vulnerability as we explore your inner world and help you feel more connected to your mind and body.

Working from a trauma-informed and integrative approach, I draw primarily on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP is a somatic, relational approach to processing emotions).

I am a Registered Psychologist with over 10 years of experience supporting people in the mental health field. My practice is focused on helping individuals and couples create meaningful, fulfilling, and emotionally safe relationships with themselves and others. I work from an attachment lens, honoring our human need for emotional safety and belonging. I utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Hakomi (a mindfulness-based somatic modality) to help clients acknowledge and understand themselves and their needs. When appropriate and helpful I also draw from Narrative, CBT, and Gottman Method interventions to best support my clients.

My work with individuals helps people foster a sense of safety in their body and trust in their ability to regulate emotions, effectively manage conflict and express their needs. In relational work, these skills are the building blocks for an attuned relationship. I help couples get to the root of their issues so they can find their way back to the same team.

I am passionate about people and accepting of relationships of all shapes and sizes.

I am currently unable to accept new clients, please consider one of my wonderful colleagues instead!

I hold a deep commitment to supporting neurodivergent adults, as well as clients experiencing anxiety & depression, body image concerns, perfectionism, shame, burnout, emotional dysregulation, and life transitions.

As an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider, I approach counselling with a neurodivergent-affirming perspective that embraces the unique strengths and identities of my clients. I focus on offering support, accommodations, and strategies that empower you to thrive authentically as yourself. We can explore what your neurodivergence means for you, embrace the range of your emotions, attend to sensory abilities, process experiences, and celebrate achievements, while addressing challenges that are often amplified in environments shaped by neurotypical norms. This may include attending to the chronic exhaustion and overwhelm that can accompany living in a world that often feels too loud, too fast, and in which parts of you feel persistently disconnected and misunderstood.

I draw on a blend of evidence-based therapeutic modalities tailored to meet each client’s specific needs. This includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Attachment Theory, and Mindfulness and Somatic Techniques. By integrating these diverse approaches, I offer an individualized experience that promotes growth and lasting change.

Building an authentic therapeutic alliance is at the heart of my work. It would be an honor to provide a supportive space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and valued.

I am not currently taking on new clients

I have several years of counselling experience which I obtained while studying and practicing psychology in Canada and abroad. I have worked with a diverse client base facing a wide range of challenges including trauma, depression, anxiety, career and workplace concerns, and relationship challenges.

I believe that you are the expert in your own life, and I collaborate with you to develop an individualized, holistic plan to help eliminate obstacles and reach desired goals. I trust in your inherent ability for optimal growth and work from a strengths-based perspective to empower you. I’ve seen that when clients feel genuinely heard, understood, and accepted, they have the freedom to become their best selves.

Utilizing an integrative approach to therapy, I draw heavily on Person Centred Therapy (PCT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-based approaches, attachment theory, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).

My goal is to help you reconnect with all the parts of you which may have been abandoned or rejected, and help you integrate all these parts into a flourishing whole. When you feel safe and connected in your own mind and body, it will enable you to feel safe and connected in supportive and loving relationships.
