Hours:

In a world full of competing ideas, opinions and expectations, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.  Our inner critics can be so loud, and even the voices of those we love can add to the noise. This can make it hard to figure out what’s truly right for us, which can leave us feeling stuck and uncertain.   

Sometimes, it can be helpful to slow down and pause– to have a space to reflect, explore and make sense of what is happening, and to know that you are not walking through it all alone.  I aim to create a warm, compassionate, and client-centered therapeutic space, recognizing that your experiences are unique and nuanced.

My hope is that when you are in the therapy room, you feel safe, seen, and heard. Together, we can work toward helping you gain the clarity and the confidence to live in a way that aligns with what you value most.

Experience:

Kristal is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with a background in recreational therapy, supporting individuals in both hospital and community settings. Through her work with the Alzheimer’s Society and in various hospitals across the GTA, she developed a deep appreciation for walking alongside others through life’s highs and lows, and for the lasting impact of illness and transitions across generations.

As a therapist, Kristal is passionate about working with youth, young adults, and mid-life adults who are navigating life changes or are interested in exploring the mental, emotional, and social dynamics behind their identity. She brings curiosity, compassion, and a collaborative spirit to each therapeutic relationship.  She integrates a variety of modalities into her work such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Family Systems Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

More than just my work:

Something fun about me: On foods with a crust, I always eat the crust first. I like to save the best part for last!
