Therapy for when “just try harder” isn’t working.

Hi, I’m Halie, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) supporting children, teens, adults, couples, and families across Ontario through virtual therapy.

I often work with people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or disconnected and with couples or families who are caught in the cycle of “We’ve tried everything. What are we supposed to do now?”

A big part of my work is supporting youth and families experiencing anxiety, school avoidance, school refusal, emotional overwhelm, and difficult parent-child dynamics. When a child or teen is struggling, it can be easy for everyone to get caught in a cycle of pressure, frustration, and conflict. I believe there is usually more going on underneath the behaviour, and understanding that can be an important first step toward change.

My approach is warm, practical, and collaborative. I’m not here to sit back and tell you what you should be doing. We’ll work together to understand what’s happening, build useful tools, and find steps that actually fit your family and your life.

I also work with adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges & intimacy, communication difficulties, life transitions, and feeling disconnected from the people they care about.

My training includes CBT, DBT, EFT, IFS, and trauma-informed practice, but I believe therapy should feel like more than choosing a technique from a toolbox. It should feel like having someone in your corner who can help you make sense of what’s happening and figure out where to go from here.

You don’t have to have the right words, a clear goal, or everything figured out before starting therapy. You can just show up as you are.
