Life often doesn’t go as planned & that’s ok! We all experience hard times. Let’s work together to achieve YOUR goals & explore your strengths. I believe you can lead a full & happy life while managing trauma, mental health or relationship stress. I believe in holistic healing. This means helping you to meet your emotional, physical, relational, & spiritual needs. One of my passions is to partner with nature,
spirituality
/ faith, & animals to create a safe space. I like to think outside the box & ideas of what therapy “should be “. We can be indoors or outdoors? Would you like to have a dog join us? A horse? Bring your own pet ?

'Life is pain, highness. Anyone who tells you differently is selling something'- William Goldman (from The Princess Bride). All sarcasm aside, life can be painful. Not being okay can be scary, especially if no one in your support system feels comfortable talking about emotions or mental health. If you're looking for someone to talk to, you've probably gotten to the place where seeking help is less scary than staying where you are right now. I've been there. Asking for help goes against what Western society tells us: that we should be able to figure it all out on our own while also being productive. No wonder we don't like feelings.

Welcome! I'm so glad you stopped by! Life can be hard and times feel uncertain but you are not alone. My focus is first and foremost to create a space where you feel safe. From that safety I will build a connection that allows you to feel seen, heard, and valued so that you can drop your "mask" and be fully vulnerable and authentically yourself. In your session with me, you will find warmth, acceptance, genuineness, and validation with the focus on you and what fits with your life and your unique goals in counselling. You are not too much - too loud, too sensitive, too messed up, too anything!

Perceptions...This is what we live out. Our perceptions of life. How we see the world and what we expect. Sometimes life does not ask you what you want, and it can get frustrating , or downright painful trying to live with, date or communicate with someone in your life. Finding YOU is a large part of the answer. Who are you? What messages are you sending and receiving? What do you want from your life? What would it take to get that? To be able to feel good about yourself and your life again. Sometimes an outside perspective can help you to see more clearly. Reaching out for someone with an objective view can help with that.

Are you a "big feeler"? Have you always been considered emotional or sensitive? Big feelers are often filled with worries about the future and overwhelmed by the present. You might spend a lot of time dealing with racing thoughts and fears. It's difficult to feel like you're living a secret life where no one knows how much you struggle. You might even feel like no one really knows you. You might wish you could just turn your brain off for a while and not feel so deeply impacted by everything.

Life transitions, daily stressors, trauma, and mental illnesses can negatively influence the way we think, feel, and behave. These factors can cause us to feel "stuck" in old habits and patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that no longer serve us. I recognize that when we are stuck, it is difficult to make that first step towards change and reach out for support. Hence, I acknowledge you for making the first step into finding what works best for you. I understand that you want to take charge of your mental and emotional pain so that you can unlock your utmost potential.

Note: Currently Not Accepting Couples. These are certainly strange times. Life already had enough challenges and strains before Covid 19 came along. Now the financial and relational pressures can seem insurmountable. There's the grief over the loss of certainty, and sense of control in our lives. And for many, this leaves us with a feeling of immobility and unpredictability. These changes can weigh heavily on us, and prevent us from being capable of our best. It's more important now than ever to take care of yourself, for the sake of your own health, and to preserve your most important relationships.

To help you discover the beauty of the storm, and perhaps more importantly, become empowered to weather present and future storms.

What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?
Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.
What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?
There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviours. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualisation, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.
Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?
Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.
How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?
Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
