About Me
There are times when the person we thought we were, the relationships we built, and the future we imagined no longer seem to fit.
I first came to therapy as a client while navigating some of the biggest transitions of my life: exploring my sexuality, becoming a mother, going through divorce, losing my parents, and navigating aging. I needed a place to make sense of experiences that were unfamiliar and sometimes difficult to talk about.
Therapy gave me a place to slow down, be honest, explore what mattered, and get unstuck. It helped me develop the relational and life skills I needed to move forward, deepen my relationships, and feel more grounded in who I was becoming.
This experience changed the direction of my life and eventually led me to become a therapist.
Today, I’m passionate about working with couples, families, and individuals navigating relationship challenges, family dynamics, and major life transitions. Whether you’re struggling to reconnect with your partner, caught in recurring conflict with your child, or trying to find your footing in a new chapter in your life, we’ll start wherever you are.
My Approach
I don’t believe people are broken. I believe we develop patterns that make sense in the context of our lives, but that sometimes stop serving us.
My work is grounded in Relational Life Therapy (RLT). With couples, I help you to understand the cycle you keep getting caught in, communicate more honestly, and take responsibility for your part without turning that responsibility into blame. You’ll move beyond the same arguments and find a more connected way of relating.
With families, I help parents and children look beneath the conflict, understand what’s happening between them, and develop healthier ways of communicating and responding to one another.
In individual counselling, I work with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure about how to move forward. Sometimes we know something needs to change but aren’t sure what. I’ll help you slow down, get curious, and find a way forward.
My integrative approach also draws on EMDR, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and somatic approaches, depending on what’s most helpful. EMDR can help when past experiences continue to affect how you feel, react, or relate in the present. Somatic approaches help you notice what’s happening in your body and nervous system, while CBT helps you recognize and shift your thought and behaviour patterns.
Through our work together, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of why you do what you do and have more choice in terms of what you do next.
Therapy can be deep and challenging, and it doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time. I believe humour, curiosity, and human connection have an important place in the room.
My Commitment to You
I will meet you with curiosity, honesty, compassion, and respect.
I’ll listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and challenge you when I think it can help. I won’t expect you to arrive with everything figured out or know exactly what needs to change. We can start wherever you are and work from there.
My goal is to help you understand yourself and your relationships more clearly, develop new skills, and feel more confident about what comes next.
You don’t have to become someone else. The work is about becoming more fully yourself.

“Tiffany’s ability to truly grasp the nuances of our relationship and family dynamics is remarkable, and her approach fostered a great rapport that made us look forward to each session. Thanks to Tiffany’s guidance, my husband and I have learned to work together rather than against each other. Her expertise and genuine care have made a lasting, positive impact on our lives.”

“Tiffany was such a pleasure to work with. I felt safe and heard. She gave me great tools to use to help calm my nervous system. I loved doing the inner child healings with her. I would highly recommend her.”
Suzy S.
“Sessions with Tiffany blew my mind. The depth of transformation I experienced was astounding. The techniques I was taught to ground myself and navigate any situation has given me a level of confidence and love of life that I didn’t know was possible.
Not only did these sessions transform my life from feeling hopeless to thriving, I learned techniques to navigate life’s most challenging moments. To feel confident that I have the tools to handle any situation is priceless.“
Maki M.
“What I loved about sessions with Tiffany is that every week I looked forward to the session, and every week I left more alive, more inspired and excited to work with the wisdom that had come forth, these deeper truths, insights, and ideas. I found Tiffany to be incredibly authentic and genuine, to have a very humanistic and person centred approach. Also to be kind, sensitive, intuitive, highly respectful and deeply considerate. “
