I specialize in Trauma Processing and this is where i find that the most positive outcomes are from. I love to talk to people and hear their story then we work out together what is the core beliefs and where that this might come from. Then we work on processing any trauma from childhood or other parts of life. This impacts greatly on the story that you tell yourself and the patterns of behavior that you want to change. I don't want people to be sitting talking to me for years with no breakthrough or change in behavior. I want you to be living your life to the fullest with maximum joy!

Those closest to me would describe me as a kind and caring person who is a very good listener. I believe that’s because I’ve experienced my own share of life’s challenges and emotional pain. I’ve had times of feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, lost and alone. Through it all, my saving grace has been the support of some amazing counsellors and supervisors. It is these experiences that have inspired me to be the helper I am today. I’ve spent the past 22 years learning how to best help and offer hope to those in need. You can see a list of my credentials and experience here.

Therapy is about learning to be gentle and honest with yourself—finding the courage to face what we've been avoiding and feel what we've been pushing down. Hi, I'm Stella—a registered counsellor and art therapist. Maybe you've experienced: -Lying awake at 3am, thoughts looping endlessly -Unable to say what you really mean to people you love -Feeling exhausted but telling yourself "I should do more" -Looking in the mirror and barely recognising yourself If this resonates, know that you're not alone. Healing begins when we feel safe and understood.

If you are struggling and don't know how to get back to your authentic self, you are not alone. From a young age, this authentic self needs to be taken care of. If we grow up without this care, as adults we may feel flat and unmotivated, we may find it difficult to make friends, we may struggle to understand and process our emotions, and we may forget to take care of ourselves because we feel unimportant. I provide a space for you to express the grief and suffering that comes from not receiving such care. Over time, I hope you can learn that you are greater than your suffering.

My ideal client is someone who feels overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, or emotional distress and is struggling to find clarity and balance in their life. They may be carrying the weight of past experiences, battling self-doubt, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Their most profound need is to feel heard, understood, and supported in a space where they can explore their emotions without fear of judgment. They seek tools to manage their thoughts, regulate their feelings, and regain control, ultimately striving for healing, personal growth, and a renewed sense of self.
