Hi there, I'm Eileen. If you've been thinking about starting therapy but keep putting it off, wondering whether your struggles are "big enough," or whether a stranger could really understand what you're carrying, I totally get it! You're not alone in that feeling and I'm not here to fix you or tell you how to live your life. I'm here to sit alongside you, in a space where you can finally slow down, be honest, and just breathe for a minute. No judgment, no rushing.
I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety and overthinking, people-pleasing, low self-worth, trauma, and difficult family/couple dynamics, as well as addiction, their own or a loved one's. I also love working with newcomers exploring cultural identity and family expectations, since so much of that journey is about figuring out who you are across two worlds. With over six years across youth shelters, crisis stabilization settings, community mental health, and now private practice, I bring both training and lived understanding to this work I love so much.
I ask a lot of questions. Partly because I'm nosy (in the best way), but mostly because slowing down and noticing what's happening beneath the surface matters. Still, insight alone isn't always enough, so there's plenty of room for emotional exploration too. If I notice a pattern worth naming, I won't just nod along and ask "how does that make you feel" I'll bring it into the room, gently, with curiosity, and did I mention non-judgemental? And yes, there's room for humour here too, especially once we've built some trust. I promise I'm more fun than the average therapist bio makes me sound.
Areas of Focus and Interest:
- Cultural identity, newcomers, and family expectations
- Addiction (personal or a loved one's)
- Trauma and attachment wounds
- Anxiety and overthinking
- Self-esteem, identity, people-pleasing and self-trust
- Difficult family dynamics and boundaries
- Relationship patterns and disconnection in couples
If any of this resonates, I'd love to chat. You really don't need to have it all figured out before reaching out. Let's just talk.
Outside of therapy, you'll usually find me volunteering at a local animal shelter, crocheting something questionable, or sweating it out in a spin, Pilates, yoga, or Zumba class.
