Hello there.....my name is Robyn. Do you struggle to feel connected, confident, seen and heard in areas of your life? Do you wish to understand why you continue to do the same thing over and over, expecting a different result? I approach sessions with curiosity, warmth and compassion, understanding that we desire safety and connection in our relationships.
Many days you're overwhelmed and filled with self-doubt. You feel like a failure and second-guess everything. Sometimes you’re the man you want to be. And other times, you feel like things are falling apart. Stress, anxiety, anger, and even depression negatively impact your career, your relationships, and your confidence. You know you're capable of more and just want to be happy, but don't know what to do. I can help you get there. I know how to help men thrive!
I specialize in working with people struggling with ADHD, anxiety, perfectionism, and people-pleasing. I have deep empathy for the experience of anxiety and relationship struggles, and I know how isolating and overwhelming it can feel. I know that anxiety often comes from a place of just wanting to get it right, and I'm skilled in working through the underlying issues that contribute to anxiety so that you can feel confident and secure instead of frozen and stalled.
I understand how anxiety affects all stages of relationships (including finding a partner in the first place) and I support my clients to move from feeling lonely and disconnected to confident and secure. In addition to my individual work, I offer evidence-based couples' counselling using the Gottman method, which goes beyond just communication skills and gives practical strategies to create real change.

After over 20 years of struggling with insomnia, I discovered that there IS a safe, long-lasting strategy that's more effective than sleep meds in the long run. It profoundly changed my life. Now my passion in life is helping others reclaim their lives with better sleep.
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, Counsellor, BA, MSEd, RCC
I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor with a Master's Degree in Developmental Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania. I was educated in China, France, and the United States, and enjoy working with clients of various backgrounds and walks of life, including adults of all ages, teens, and children. I particularly enjoy supporting clients through any work based challenges they may be experiencing, including burnout and career transitions. Before entering private practice, I began my career in Human Resources at IBM, where I provided effective support to professionals in achieving their learning and development goals.
Choose me as your therapist, and you're opting for a compassionate guide on your path to personal growth and healing. With a solid foundation in psychology from both Simon Fraser University in Canada and Montfort College in India, along with a rich background in counselling diverse populations, I bring a holistic and collaborative approach to therapy.
My practice, Forward Thinking Psychological Services, provides clients with the skills and tools they need to move ahead in their lives and achieve their goals, despite the distress they may experience. We deliver scientifically-supported treatments for obsessive compulsive and related disorders, anxiety disorders, depression, relationship issues, as well as a wide range of emotional and behavioral problems.
I have worked with clients in both outpatient and inpatient hospital settings and currently oversee clinical services within a hospital setting as well.
Our work is evidence-based, collaborative and values-based – ensuring that every client is a major participant in their treatment and is able to “take the reins” and become their own therapist over time.

Chronic pain and trauma can leave you feeling isolated and like your life is shrinking around you. I understand. As a therapist who has also navigated chronic illness, I've walked a similar path.
I specialize in online therapy for chronic pain and trauma because I believe everyone deserves access to support, no matter their location or limitations.
Through online therapy, I offer a safe space to explore your experiences, develop coping skills, and build resilience. I work collaboratively with you to manage pain, increase energy levels, and reduce stress. My goal is to empower you to reclaim control and find joy, even amidst chronic pain and trauma.
It's normal to feel hesitant about opening up to a stranger. My website offers a glimpse into my story and my therapeutic approach.

Counselling is akin to a mental gym, where we exercise and strengthen your mind. Often, people are unaware of the patterns and thought processes that perpetuate negative emotions and experiences. My mission is to collaborate with you, empowering you not only to conquer your challenges but also to liberate yourself from self-defeating beliefs. Together, we'll embark on a transformative journey, unlocking your full potential and creating a life of fulfillment and positivity.
