Smart Therapy® — Insight-driven depth therapy
Where insight meets heart
With over twelve years of experience, I work with adults navigating feeling stuck in painful inner experiences or relationship patterns—and want to understand and transform them rather than simply manage their symptoms.
My approach blends emotional attunement with thoughtful exploration to support meaningful change.
It would be a privilege to support you as you take the next step in healing.
The goal is not to become someone else. It's to reconnect with who you have always been beneath old protective strategies.
Hi, I'm Rebecca
I'll help you explore your past, your present, and your psyche to get to the root of your healing needs.
Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist | Online therapy across Ontario
Specializing in anxiety, trauma, OCD, self-esteem & relationship patterns
In Depth Therapy, we look past the surface, going deep into your personal psychology and exploring the unconscious aspects of your mind. On this deep dive, you’ll learn to understand your unconscious mind, identify the underlying roots of your challenges, and examine the historical patterns that are influencing your life. Through this process, you will start to shift the thoughts, behaviours, and symptoms that are holding you back. I offer a conversational and personable approach to therapy.
What you're experiencing right now...
- The same pattern keeps happening over and over—in your relationships, in your behaviours, in your thoughts—and you don’t know why.
- You feel stuck—in your mood, your circumstances, your habits. You've tried to change, but somehow you find yourself back in the same place.
- You're exhausted by the emotional effort of holding everything together and aren't sure what to do differently.
Maybe you've tried some self-care, read a few self-help books, made some resolutions…but all those efforts just aren’t cutting it. Maybe you’ve even tried therapy before, but challenging your thoughts didn’t do enough for you.
And you keep asking yourself "Why?" Why does this keep happening? Why can't I catch a break?
You are ready for something to change.
Different experiences require different kinds of support
For those ready to explore the deeper patterns shaping their lives

FAQs About Therapy
- Depth therapy is an approach that explores unconscious processes, emotional patterns, and the roots of your distress, not only the symptoms.
- It includes modalities like Emotion-Focused Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Schema Therapy, and Jungian Therapy.
- Depth therapy focuses on understanding the deeper emotional and relational patterns shaping your experiences, rather than only addressing surface symptoms.
- While insight and emotional exploration are central, practical tools from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) may also be integrated when they are helpful for managing anxiety, OCD, or other challenges.
- I specialize in treating trauma (including childhood trauma), anxiety, OCD, depression, and self-esteem issues.
- Many clients come with overlapping challenges that also show up in their relationships or dating patterns.
- In therapy, we address these through insight-driven depth therapy, emotional processing, and exploration of the underlying patterns shaping thoughts, emotions, and relationships.
- Yes. Many adults continue to experience the effects of earlier relational experiences such as emotional neglect, inconsistent caregiving, or difficult family dynamics.
- Depth-oriented therapy can help explore how these experiences shaped emotional patterns, anxiety, self-esteem, and relationship dynamics, while supporting new ways of responding in the present.
- Yes. All sessions are offered virtually through secure video or phone. I work with individuals and adults anywhere in Ontario.
- The first session focuses on understanding what brings you to therapy, exploring relevant experiences or patterns, and discussing what you hope to work toward. This session also helps determine whether the approach feels like a good fit for you.
- You can book a 15 minute consultation so you can ask questions, get a feel for my style, and decide whether my approach fits what you're looking for.
- Most clients meet weekly or biweekly. We can discuss the pace that works best for you. I also offer therapy intensives for those wanting a shorter-term or more focused experience.
-
A therapy Intensive through Smart Therapy® is a one or more extended therapy sessions of 2-3 hours in length each, focused on a specific theme such as addressing relational patterns, inner criticism and feelings of emptiness, or baseline levels of stress and nervous system overwhelm being to high.
- Enneagram-informed therapy uses the Enneagram as a framework for understanding emotional patterns, motivations, and coping strategies.
- While the Enneagram is not a therapy method on its own, it can offer valuable insight into recurring relational patterns, anxiety responses, and self-critical thinking.
- In therapy, these insights may be integrated with depth-oriented approaches to support greater self-understanding and change.
- Yes. Many clients seek therapy to understand recurring patterns in dating or relationships, such as feeling repeatedly overlooked, drawn to emotionally unavailable partners, or experiencing anxiety around rejection.
- Therapy can help uncover the emotional and relational patterns underlying these experiences.
- “Pure O” is a form of OCD where the compulsions are mostly mental rather than visible. People may experience intrusive thoughts related to morality, relationships, religion, or identity, and attempt to neutralize them through rumination, reassurance-seeking, or mental checking.
