Meet Tammy

Thank you for being present!

Choosing a professional therapist can feel like an overwhelming task because there are many to choose from along with so many different types of therapies. I am glad you're here! I can help you understand the process as we connect and start working together.

My practice is about building relationships with people and understanding the uniqueness that "everyone has their own story to tell". Together, we create a plan with your goals that will be client driven. This is your life; I am here to help you navigate it and learn more about yourself. I will do my best to help you feel safe and comfortable in therapy, so you can move forward to feel happiness and joy in your life.

F.A.Q

Yes! Schedule your free consultation and avoid the phone and email tag! You will have 15 minutes on the phone with me to let me know all about what you are looking for and what you need, and to ask any questions you may have about anything related to the process.  
People enter this process at all stages. Sometimes, they need help figuring out what’s holding them back and other times they know exactly what they want, but just need help getting there. 
By seeking therapy, you are investing in yourself. Therapy will help you discover who you are. It will help you manage and cope with the triggers, symptoms, and behaviors that get in your way by allowing you a safe space to express yourself.
Just by being here, you’ve already done the hardest part. Let's get started.....


  • Registered Social Worker in Ontario with the Ontario College Social Worker and Social Service Worker.
  • Masters of Social Worker, Windsor University
  • Honours Bachelor of Social Worker (HBSW), Lakehead University
  • Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, Laurentian University
  • Trained Family Mediator
  • Rehabilitation Worker, Humber College
 
During your first appointment, we will review some highlights from the paperwork you signed and then we will talk about YOUR STRENGTHS, YOUR STRUGGLES, and YOUR GOALS. It’s totally normal to feel uncomfortable or nervous during our first session, so I will do my best to make you as feel as comfortable as possible. Building our relationship together is one of the most important parts of therapy for your success, so we will work on building that from the start.

My practice offers individual sessions by virtual or walk and talk. You decide what works best for you!

If you would like a walk and talk session, we decide on a location to meet and enjoy nature as we work together in session. I specialize in depression, anger management, trauma, parenting, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, personal management, stress management, and transition to retirement. Individual session- $150.00- 60 minute session

Couples Therapy

Relationships are complicated and challenging. As human we long for connection to others. There is hope, and marriages are salvageable even through the worst turns. It will take re-learning what it means to communicate properly. It will take building and regaining trust & respect for each other. Let me help you to assess the strengths/weaknesses of your marriage. I specialize in mediation, co-parenting with separation and divorce, relationship issues, and family trauma. Couple session- $225.00 - 90 minute session

Family Therapy

Helping families through conflict in therapy involves creating a safe space where all members can express their feelings and concerns without fear of judgment. As a therapist, I act as a neutral navigator, I can guide the conversation to ensure that everyone is heard and understood. By encouraging open communication and active listening, families can identify the root causes of their conflicts and work together to find solutions. As a therapist, I can help find strategies for effective problem-solving, teach conflict resolution skills, and help family members understand each other's perspectives. This process not only resolves immediate issues but also equips families with tools to navigate future challenges, fostering stronger, more resilient relationships. $275.00- 90 minute session
