Rediscover You
Life can be challenging and stressful. Sometimes it can be easy to lose our sense of self through this journey.
No matter where you are in your current journey, life is full of surprises, with some delighting us and some bringing us turmoil, uncertainty, and feelings of anxiety. My goal is to help you find the tools you need to get back to being you. Together, I can help you forge ahead and create the pathways towards your own desired journey in life.
Maybe you are looking for someone to work together with you towards the goals you are setting and planning. Sometimes what you need is to just have someone to talk to about whatever is bothering you for that week. I work with people from all walks of life to ensure that they feel comfortable and safe to bring up every and any topic they would like. The time in counselling is for you and you only, I take it as my responsibility to ensure you are getting what you need out of our work together. I aim to provide a space that you can feel empowered and recharged from so that you can continue to tackle the road ahead of you.
Rediscover Trust
Relationships are meaningful and multi-faceted. Sometimes life gets in the way of partners being able to feel connected with one another. Our goal is to help partners get back to intimacy, love, and trust.
We help partners fighting against each other to come together as a team in order to resolve conflicts and issues within and outside the relationship. Our team understands that each partnership has its own unique shining moments and struggles, we strive to honour the bond between all partners and to bring couples back towards nurturing, building, and celebrating the foundation they have created together.
We believe that even that best of relationships can sometimes be boggled down by life's unexpected pitfalls and challenges. We work with couples to help them reignite their passions, their teamwork, and their communication. Sometimes it's the people closest to us that we end up misunderstanding and hurting. We aim to help partners understand what gets in the way of them supporting each other in the ways that they would like to be supported. There are so many things in this world that stand to divide and alienate us from those we love, Our goal is to help partners get back to intimacy, love, and trust in order to build a stronger and more resilient partnership. We help partners fighting against each other to come back together so that as a team, you can work together in tackling all that life has to throw at you.
Rediscover Teamwork
The changing and evolving Family has many rewards and many unique challenges. Family issues are often complex and all voices need to be heard in order to maintain a healthy balance.
Our goal is to facilitate the coming together of individual desires, needs and voices in order to shape and support the collective. We help families of all sizes and constellations get back to a supportive and collaborative space where each and every member can thrive and contribute.
Rediscover Intimacy
Talking about sex, sexuality, and gender can be a stressful thing, even with loved ones that you fully trust.
We work with individuals, couples, triads/tripods, quads and all relationships by creating a safe and shame-free environment. Helping clients seek out what blocks them from being able to explore all aspects of their preferred ways of living, loving, and seeking desire. We strive to help clients build deeper connections with themselves and others in their sexual relationships as well as creating a safe space to work through sexual concerns. Some examples of topics discussed in sex therapy include: low desire, sexual trauma, post-affair intimacy, exploring kinks/fantasies, and navigating open relationships (not all are listed here).
As a passionate allies to the LGBTQ2+ community, we also walk alongside clients as they explore what it means from them to embody their preferred gender, sexuality, and sexual orientation. We believe strongly in helping those disenfranchised from their powers and rights, and strive to create a safe and respectful space for people to explore who they are.
Rediscover Hope
All of us go through the winding footpaths of life and at one point in time experience moments that create long lasting impacts and changes in ourselves, our environment, and in the trajectory of our lives.
Sometimes those experience can be positive, and sometimes they are negative. These negative experiences are we we define as traumatic events.
The experience of trauma and traumatic events can be painful and excruciating. Sometimes these experiences leave us at more than just at a loss, but can continue to cause us pain and fear. These experiences can alter the way your mind works. Creating physical and emotional responses to triggers that remind you of your trauma. Even when you are unaware of these triggers, you can be left feeling overactive and hyper-vigilant to certain moments and interactions. The post traumatic consequences (often known as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD) of these triggers is that you can feel like you are on constant alert to prevent future danger and pain; even when there is none to be presently found. If left untreated it can lead to one feeling loss and overwhelmed and increase rates of risky or dangerous behaviours (i.e. increased aggression and violence, increased substance use, increased physical and mental distress).
Our goal is help you heal. We offer a safe space and environment to begin the process of talking about your pain as a means to start processing what had happened to you. Talking about trauma doesn't always mean retelling your story. We work with each individual uniquely in order to find the path of healing that is more effective for them. We utilize a variety of techniques including a highly effective form of trauma therapy called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help folks through this process in order to help you rediscover hope and empowerment. Understanding our past gives us an ability to take control what we want our future to look like. We believe that all people deserve to live a life free from fear and pain, all of us deserve a little help along the way.
Rediscover Creativity
Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses art as a means of communication.
For many, words can be difficult when expressing emotions, particularly when dealing with trauma, anxiety, or depression. Art therapy bridges this gap, allowing clients to use creative mediums—such as painting, drawing, or sculpting—to explore their feelings and experiences.
Art therapists are specially trained professionals who guide clients through the process, helping them gain insights into their emotional well-being and fostering personal growth.
Art therapy has been proven effective for individuals of all ages. Studies show that it can help reduce stress, manage symptoms of mental health conditions, and improve overall well-being. For younger clients, art therapy provides a safe and non-verbal way to explore their thoughts and emotions, fostering emotional regulation and resilience.
For adults, art therapy is a valuable tool for processing complex emotions, coping with trauma, and improving mental clarity. It encourages mindfulness, creativity, and self-expression, offering a therapeutic outlet for stress and inner conflict.
Healing Through Sound & Conversation
Music therapy is a unique form of psychotherapy that uses music as a powerful medium for healing, self-expression, and personal growth.
For those who find it difficult to articulate emotions through words, music therapy offers an alternative path, using melody, rhythm, and sound to explore and process experiences.
This therapy can take two forms:
-
Music Therapy: A specialized therapeutic approach where music itself is the primary mode of communication and expression. Clients actively create, listen to, or engage with music to address their emotional, cognitive, and social needs.
-
Talk Therapy Incorporating Music: A blended approach where traditional verbal psychotherapy integrates music as a complementary tool. Music is used to deepen discussions, spark reflection, and foster insight.
Both approaches are facilitated by trained professionals who guide clients through tailored sessions that align with their personal goals and preferences.
Music therapy has proven effective across all age groups. Studies highlight its ability to reduce stress, manage symptoms of mental health conditions, and foster emotional and social well-being.
For children and youth, music therapy provides a playful yet meaningful way to navigate emotions, build resilience, and enhance self-regulation.
For adults and older adults, it offers a space to process trauma, grief, or life transitions, encouraging mindfulness, creativity, and improved mental health.
