Hi, I’m Ruth! (sher/her)
Life can feel…heavy, especially when you’re burned out, anxious, or stuck in relationship patterns that are hard to understand. Reaching out for support isn’t easy, but it can be a meaningful first step toward some relief and change.
Whether you are moving through change, the gap between the culture you grew up in and the life you’re building now, and nobody around you quite understands the weight of that, or you’re quietly running on empty. I’m here to offer a steady and supportive space where you can slow down, make sense of your feelings, and reconnect with yourself in a more grounded, sustainable way.
My approach draws from evidence-based approaches, including:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Psychodynamic Therapy
- Relational Therapy
- Mindfulness
- Somatic
- Trauma and Culturally-Informed Approach
Your body, mind, and feelings are connected. Together, we will explore what’s beneath the surface so you can begin to understand patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and lived experiences—so things start to make more sense while building tools to manage them. My lived experience and over 10 years of front-line and non-profit work supporting neurodivergent children, youth, and their families have shaped the way I show up: with flexibility, care, and a belief that people are more than what they’re struggling with.
I support clients who are:
- Constantly overthinking or feeling anxious
- Feeling emotionally drained, stressed, or burnt out
- Struggling with relationships, dating, or setting boundaries
- Trying to make sense of your identity or cultural experiences
- Balancing caregiving, parenting, or competing responsibilities
- Self-esteem, self-understanding, and healthier coping strategies
- Life transitions and feeling stuck
I take a person-centred approach that is trauma-informed and relational. I believe the lives we’ve lived, the relationships we’ve had, and the systems we’ve moved through all shape how we come to understand ourselves. In our work together, we can make space for the whole of your experience, not just the part that feels difficult right now. I offer low-cost and affordable therapy options because I believe support should be more accessible.
As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MA in Counselling Psychology student under clinical supervision, Black woman, and child of immigrants, I strive to offer a warm and inclusive space where people of all identities, backgrounds, relationships, and lived experiences always feel welcome!
