Hi! We are Dawn and Miriam, the Registered Psychotherapists at Human Connections. We are experienced in helping you find balance, heal emotional pain and cope with life's difficulties. We believe that everyone can benefit from counselling and have worked with adults, young adults & students, parents, and older adults, to help through life transitions & difficulties, healing childhood wounds, improving relationships, and living a happier life.

Life can be overwhelming, leaving you feeling helpless and alone. It is not easy to find your way forward. Recreating yourself in a way that embraces who you are and where you've been, to empower you to move towards a life you may envision, is not simple but it can be done. My goal is to help you find this path. Whether faced with a lifetime of challenges, or impacted by a single traumatic event, I bring empathy, compassion and understanding to the relationship. From that place of safety, I will support you to find the road to acceptance, healing, and peace of mind.

I believe in the power of strength-based approaches to therapy--the amazing, nameless, invisible "thing" that recognizes the strength of survival, while giving one hope in knowing we ourselves hold the power to change our world, one moment, one conversation, one encounter at a time. Within a general practice, my specialties include substance abuse, stress management, anxiety, trauma, grief, interpersonal violence and life transitions. I provide an individualized approach according to each person's unique strengths and goals. Committed to ongoing skills development, I pursuit ongoing education and training, while receiving regular consultation and supervision for my practice.

I specialize in helping individuals both young and experienced. My purpose as a therapist is to help you work toward achieving positive steps by learning to effectively manage situations and emotions which cause distress, anxiety and interpersonal struggle. I take great pride in recognizing the process, the change and the progress in all my clients, and look forward to helping you pursue your next steps, wherever they might lead.

If you're struggling with unhelpful behaviours, unhealthy relationships or childhood trauma, my approach starts with meeting you where you are. If you are looking to make sustainable changes in any part of your life, my goal is for you to make those changes from a place of confidence and self compassion. We all have an inherent resiliency that can be found and tapped into when collaborating together. From this place of self awareness, the person you want to be can emerge.

Is there something about your life you'd like to change? Thoughts you want to work on? goals you want to meet? feelings and reactions you wish were different? We all feel the need for change sometimes. But, it's just so easy to get stuck. To feel ineffective and unsupported in the effort to lead a happier, more fulfilling life. I understand how difficult it can be to feel trapped by self doubt, worry, and temptation to cope in problematic ways. I believe talking about struggles in therapy and working toward self-defined goals in a respectful environment can foster balance, self-acceptance, and empowerment.

Is it time for real change and healing? I believe change, healing, and growth happens from the inside out and is a process of mutual empowerment that occurs within our genuine relationships. This process occurs as we bring parts of ourselves and hidden parts of our experience into the light of a compassionate awareness. In psychotherapy, we can together create an authentic space of acceptance to explore life's troubles with compassion, curiosity, and courage. Together we may discover, become, heal, and grow. Whatever brings you to psychotherapy, it is with respect and gratitude that I commit to walk beside you on this path.

Life can be tough. Sometimes this causes you experience problems that are too difficult to handle alone. Perhaps you feel depressed, angry, stuck, sad, unsatisfied or anxious; perhaps addictive patterns or other self-destructive behaviours are wearing you down and disrupting your life. Maybe the way that you have always dealt with things is no longer working. Sometimes you might reach out for support simply because you need an unbiased person to talk to or have a nagging feeling that something is just not right and could be better.
