Many people come to me feeling pulled into cycles of self-criticism, perfectionism, or people-pleasing. Behind these patterns lies a unique story—how they began and the role they once played in protecting you. Over time, though, they may leave you feeling anxious, guilty, or disconnected from yourself. Therapy can help foster deeper self-awareness—tuning into your emotions as signals of needs and boundaries—so they become a guide rather than a source of distress. Together, we’ll create space to feel more grounded, clear, and connected to yourself and others. My approach is collaborative and strength-based, noticing your resilience while exploring where you feel stuck. I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and psychodynamic perspectives. Each session is guided by your needs and pace, with space to reflect, explore, and gently loosen the hold of old habits of self-criticism. Reaching out for therapy can feel daunting, and I deeply respect the courage it takes. I feel honoured when clients allow me into the tender places they often keep hidden. I hope that therapy offers you a non-judgmental space where your needs can be the focus—a place to feel understood, supported, and encouraged to move toward the life you long for.

Being human is HARD. You are not alone, there is hope! Whether you're navigating stress, uncertainty, relational struggles, or just the ups and downs of everyday life, seeking support can be an empowering step forward. Therapy can provide the opportunity to help break us out of patterns that aren’t serving us anymore and get us to a place where we can have more peace, balance, and relief. Therapy with me is about genuine connection and collaboration. We will talk through your goals and walk together towards a path to wellness, healing, and wholistic transformation. I work with individuals, couples, and families! For those who wish to integrate spirituality into their journey, I also offer Christian counselling. Therapy can provide a safe and supporting space to share your story and struggles without the fear of judgement. I offer a free phone consultation prior to scheduling your first session so that I can answer any questions you may have. Reaching out for support is a courageous step and I look forward to connecting with you!

Are you tired of feeling like you aren’t yourself? Are you exhausted of feeling disconnected and lost? Do you want clarity on who you are, what your goals are, and how to embark on your healing journey? I support young professionals break the cycle of disconnection, exhaustion, and loneliness while connecting to their authentic self. I specialize in supporting the BIPOC community and individuals with histories of trauma, depression, and anxiety. I support adults and young professionals work through emotional challenges. My mission is to not only support you on your journey but provide you with a nonjudgmental space where you can express yourself freely. I strongly believe that no one should experience pain alone and that we all need support as we navigate life and the process of healing. I work collaboratively with clients to embrace their purpose, unique strengths, and find their inner voice. I provide psychodynamic therapy and I am well-versed in various therapeutic modalities such as Narrative Therapy, CBT, Inner-Child Work, and Internal family systems. My approach to therapy is strength-based, culturally inclusive, and trauma-focused. I believe in collaborative, transparent, anti-racist and anti-oppressive care.

If you’re here, something in your life is asking for relief, clarity, or change. Maybe you’re tired of carrying everything alone. Maybe your relationships feel heavier than they should. Maybe you’ve been strong for so long that you don’t remember what it feels like to simply breathe without pressure. You might be navigating anxiety, stress, emotional patterns, cultural expectations, or pain you’ve never had the space to unpack. Whatever brought you here, I want you to know: you’re not alone, and you’re in the right place. When we work together, my focus is simple—I help you slow down, understand yourself, and reconnect with the parts of you that are overwhelmed, unheard, or forgotten. I meet you exactly where you are and offer a space where you can speak freely, feel understood, and explore what’s been weighing on your mind and heart. You won’t get judgment, dismissal, or a cold clinical approach. You’ll get someone who listens deeply and supports you with honesty, warmth, and cultural awareness. My style blends psychotherapy with mind–body work and culturally rooted healing principles. I believe your story, your upbringing, and your lived experience matter. They shape how you see the world and how the world responds to you. Together, we explore how your history impacts your relationships, your boundaries, your triggers, and the way you protect yourself. We unpack your patterns, strengthen your emotional foundation, and build practical tools you can use right away to feel more grounded and in control. Therapy with me is an active and collaborative process. We talk, we reflect, we challenge old narratives, and we develop new ones that empower you. I’ll help you understand yourself on a deeper level and guide you toward healthier connections, healthier coping, and a healthier relationship with your own mind and emotions. My goal is to help you feel lighter, clearer, and more secure in who you are. If you’re ready to explore healing that is culturally grounded, compassionate, and genuinely transformative, I would be honoured to walk with you. You can begin your journey here through CoachSpence Wellness & Therapy Services, where your story is honoured and your growth becomes the priority.

Hi, I’m a registered Social Worker with over 25 years of experience supporting people through life’s toughest moments, and everything in between. I hold degrees in Psychology, Education, and Social Work, but what really shapes my work is the deep belief that healing happens in a space where you feel truly seen and heard. People often tell me I’m easy to talk to, and that’s something I really value. I bring warmth, kindness, and genuine curiosity to every session, and I do my best to make sure you feel safe, respected, and understood. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, stress, grief, addiction, neurodiversity (like ADHD or autism), or going through a major life change, I’m here to help you sort through the noise and reconnect with your strengths. My approach is flexible and tailored to your needs. I draw from different therapeutic styles like CBT, DBT, ACT, emotion-focused, solution-focused, narrative, and systems therapy, depending on what fits you best. At the heart of it all, I want to help you feel more grounded, build healthier coping tools, and create more peace in your life and relationships.
