Hey there! I’m Lily - a Registered Psychologist and Neira’s resident (self-proclaimed) green thumb. I’m so glad you stumbled across my bio. While you’re here, let me tell you a bit about what I do.

I think we can agree that life has a way of sucking sometimes. For some people it can feel like one minute they’ve got it all figured out, and the next, things start to crumble. For others, it can feel as though they’ve always felt sad, or scared, or angry, or just different; like they’ve never quite been able to fit the puzzle pieces together. In whatever way life feels like it’s sucking for you right now, I’m here to help.

I take a trauma-informed, neuro-affirming, holistic, and collaborative approach to therapy. That’s just a fancy way of saying I use a range of evidence-based treatments to find the right one for my client’s individual needs, meeting them where they’re at and guiding them to where they want to be.

I enjoy working with people from all walks of life, including adolescents (14+), and I have gained experience in non-for-profit community mental health services as well as private practice. Being a psychologist isn’t “just a job” for me; it’s a privilege. It’s an honour to walk alongside people as they discover parts of themself they didn’t know existed and heal other parts they once wished never did. If you feel like you might want me along for the ride, reach out, because while life does sometimes suck, it can also be pretty damn great.
