Our Team


As a team of experienced therapists, we understand it can be scary to reach out and trust someone to help when you need it the most. Our practice is made up of a team of Registered Psychotherapists focusing on addiction, complex trauma, couples therapy, and general life stressors.

We understand that therapy is not a quick fix. The key to creating sustainable change in therapy is to address the root cause of your difficulties while teaching you how to cope along the way.

Psychotherapy goals may be broad and related to the general improvement of functioning or to address specific concerns you wish to work on.


We are here to help you live your best life.
