Book an Appointment
Welcome to The Birch House — a space for calm, care, and connection. Mereena, Corrina and Twinkle are welcoming new counselling clients at this time. Erika is welcoming new assessment referrals. We require at least 24 hours’ notice for any cancellations so we can offer that time to another client in need of support and to avoid late cancellation fees.

I am accepting new clients in January!
I help teens and adults build confidence, manage anxiety, and navigate life’s challenges with warmth and support.
I offer counselling support to help clients navigate anxiety, depression, autism, life transitions, and everyday challenges. Whether you’re managing school pressures, career changes, parenting stress, or emotional overwhelm, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered.
With over a decade of experience as a teacher and ongoing graduate training in Educational Psychology, I draw on evidence-based approaches such as CBT, mindfulness, and strengths-based strategies to meet each client’s unique needs. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in trust.
Reaching out for support can feel intimidating — I understand that on a personal level. My goal is to make therapy feel safe, approachable, and grounded in connection. If you feel I might be a good fit, I invite you to book a free consultation or initial session, and take that first step toward feeling like yourself again.

I will be away from the clinic June 15-August 31, 2025. If you need greater accessibility, please contact the clinic for support.
My journey as a therapist is marked by a deep commitment to the field of education and therapy, where I aim to create a nurturing and empowering space for clients to navigate through their mental health challenges. Central to my approach is a deep appreciation for cross cultural awareness and the therapeutic alliance, both of which I believe are essential for fostering meaningful progress. Presently, I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor - Qualifying (CCC-Q) through the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA) and I am supervised by Erika Miller, R. Psych.
