“We can choose to be perfect and admired or to be real and loved.” – Glennon Doyle

Hi, I’m Talia, a trauma and attachment therapist. I offer warm and open minded counselling and psychotherapy. I use mindful and somatic techniques from Emotion Focused Therapy, Brainspotting (a modality derived from EMDR), and Solution Focused therapy. This integrative approach helps clients emotionally regulate, and make long lasting changes in addition to revelations.

My clients often focus on anxiety, depression, trauma, work-stress/burnout, relationships, gender identity, nonmonogamy, neurodivergence, immigration, disability, and intimacy. I love supporting folks questioning/exploring gender and trans identity. I also have a background in psychosexual therapy.

Therapeutic philosophy

I believe everyone who wants to grow can with the right supports and conditions. I think therapy is the process of learning how to take care of yourself. It is the paradoxical process of accepting and transcending our circumstances and defaults. It is my great honour to witness my clients feel, say, and do things they never have before.

“Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. I use the word “love” here not merely in the personal sense but as a state of being, or a state of grace – not in the infantile American sense of being made happy but in the tough and universal sense of quest and daring and growth.” -James Baldwin
