About Magdalena

Hi, I’m Magdalena. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)—the gold-standard, evidence-based approach for chronic sleep issues. Chronic sleeplessness is more than just tiredness; it directly impacts your emotional resilience, amplifying anxiety, low mood, and burnout by keeping your nervous system in constant overdrive. Restoring your sleep is often the single most powerful key to restoring your emotional well-being.

My therapeutic style integrates coaching and is warm, gentle, and deeply collaborative. I don't hand down rigid rules; instead, we work side by side as partners to break the cycle of bedtime dread, quiet racing thoughts, and reset your natural sleep rhythms. Beyond CBT-I, I offer compassionate, depth-oriented support for high-functioning teens, young adults, and women facing major life transitions, ADHD, or perimenopause.

You don’t have to carry this exhaustion alone. I’m here to offer a kind, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and supported every step of the way.

In addition to insomnia treatment, I also support:

  • Individuals: Supporting everyone from adolescents to seniors through life’s diverse seasons. Anyone navigating the messy transitions of modern adulthood who needs a place to process and grow.
  • Couples: Navigating the complexities of partnership, from deepening connection to the challenges of separation and divorce.
  • Group Therapy: Small, curated circles focused on healing relationship dynamics and mastering sleep health through shared experience and expert guidance.

A little about me: I am a mum of two teens, an immigrant to Canada, a single parent, and someone who has navigated divorce and career reinvention; I know how hard it is to stay steady when life feels unmoored. I bring my clinical training and lived experience into the room with care, humility, and zero judgment. In my spare time, I love to run and spend time on the North Shore Mountains. I am an avid cook and a coffee aficionado. I'm open to meeting you! Feel free to book a free consultation to see if I can help you navigate life's challenges.
