*Based at our satellite office located at 408 Queens Ave, London
This is your journey. You are taking steps to make meaningful changes in your life, bringing a unique set of gifts and lived experiences to the process. I view every client as a whole, honouring how both genetics and environment shape who you are today. Together, we’ll map out a path tailored specifically to you. Along the way, we’ll build practical skills, reframe unhelpful thinking patterns, practice deep self-compassion, and yes—leave plenty of room for genuine laughter.
Trisha brings over 20 years of experience supporting individuals and families through life’s most complex hardships across the non-profit, community health, and education sectors. Consistently inspired by the resilience of her clients, she welcomes youth and adults of all backgrounds navigating mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, and personality disorders. Her practice includes an exploration of the neurophysiological roots of self-regulation, helping clients understand how their nervous system and mind interact to restore balance.
In addition to her general practice, Trisha has developed a specialized clinical interest in women’s health, actively pursuing ongoing training to offer compassionate, informed care for women navigating the physical, emotional, and psychological shifts of perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause.
Whether working through long-standing challenges or major life transitions, Trisha tailors her approach to fit each person’s unique journey. Clients who partner with Trisha find a safe, collaborative space where they can explore new perspectives, reframe unhelpful thinking patterns, build practical skills, and cultivate genuine self-compassion along the way.
Trisha is fluently bilingual and provides therapy services in both English and French.
“I believe that timing is one of the most important parts of therapy. The client who is ready to fully engage with the process will make the biggest strides.”
