Knowing why you do something doesn't always mean you know how to stop.
Sometimes we recognize our patterns, understand where they come from, and can even predict exactly how things will unfold.
Yet we find ourselves repeating the same behaviours, reactions, or choices.
Other times, we have no idea why we feel or respond the way we do.
Understanding yourself is important, but insight alone doesn't always create change.
Psychotherapy offers an opportunity to explore what's happening beneath the surface, work through experiences that continue to influence your life, and begin changing patterns that no longer serve you.
Meet Lindsay
With nearly 20 years of experience in mental health, trauma, and addiction, I bring extensive clinical experience and specialized training to my psychotherapy practice.
As a Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Social Worker, Clinical Traumatologist, and Internationally Certified Clinical Addiction Counsellor, I've spent much of my career helping people navigate complex experiences, understand themselves more deeply, and move beyond patterns that no longer serve them.
My approach goes beyond simply talking about what's wrong. Whether you already understand the reasons behind your struggles or are still trying to make sense of them, our work focuses on helping you move toward meaningful change.
What Can We Work On?
Trauma, PTSD, and complex trauma
Anxiety, depression, and overwhelming emotions
Addiction and substance use
Relationship and attachment patterns
Stress and emotional regulation
Self-esteem, confidence, and personal growth
Nervous System Regulation
Brainspotting and Bottom up approaches
Repeating patterns that feel difficult to break
A Different Approach to Psychotherapy
Understanding is one thing. Changing is another.
I don't believe psychotherapy should feel like following a script.
Every person brings a different history, personality, and set of experiences into the room. That's why I take an individualized approach, drawing from my training in trauma-focused psychotherapy, Brainspotting, and other therapeutic approaches.
Together, we explore not only what you're experiencing, but also the emotional, behavioural, and psychological patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
Sometimes that involves processing experiences from the past. Other times, it means working with patterns you're already very aware of but haven't been able to change.
The goal isn't simply to understand yourself better. It's to help you translate that understanding into meaningful changes in how you feel, respond, and live.
Ready for Something to Change?
You don't need to have everything figured out before beginning psychotherapy. And even if you already know exactly what's going on, you don't have to figure out how to change it on your own.
Whether you're navigating a specific challenge or finding yourself in the same situations over and over, psychotherapy offers an opportunity to approach things differently.
