Currently Accepting New Clients (in-person or video) - Are you in a place where something’s not feeling right and it’s time for a change? Perhaps you want to reduce anxiety and stress. Or maybe you’re tired of being held back by feeling “not good enough.” Or you want to improve relationships with friends, loved ones, and co-workers. You might not even be able to put a finger on what’s wrong, but you’ve reached the point where you feel it’s time to reach out for help. You are not alone.

Have you lost someone or something important in your life? Perhaps you’ve experienced an unwanted change or one that is not what you anticipated. From losing a loved one to changes in relationships, career, or other life circumstances, life can feel harder than it once was. Sadness, anxiety, overwhelm, or feeling “stuck” make it difficult to cope and move forward. It can feel like no one sees or understands your struggles. But there is hope. As a therapist who has navigated my own life transitions, I support you in finding your way through this wilderness experience. Together we will work on a plan to help you adjust and grow.

Hi I'm Anne. I'm a Registered Social Worker. I’ve helped people with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. If these themes are impacting your life and you’d like to change that, give me a call.

Are you struggling right now? Are you feeling stuck? Are you feeling anxious? Are you grieving? Is it hard for you to reach out for help? Are you being heard or seen? Do you have supports in place? I am here to provide you a listening ear and support you by helping you set your goals and help you find coping strategies. The word 'therapy' can cause fear. We can work collaboratively to find what works best for you. My interventions will help you connect with your body and mind which will in turn help with your thoughts, feelings and body sensations.

Being human isn't always a walk in the park. Maybe you’re feeling numb and finding it difficult to connect with others. Maybe your mind is swirling with thoughts and you're feeling overwhelmed. Maybe you’re anxious and having a hard time finding solid ground. Or maybe you're dealing with the impact of past traumas. Whatever you’re experiencing, you don't have to walk it alone. I work with clients 18+ from a body-centred approach using a combination of Gestalt therapy and expressive art. My work is trauma-informed and a safe place for those who identify as non-binary and LGBTQIA+

If you're feeling disconnected, distracted, and detached from your life, it may be time to look at why. Why can't I connect, why am I not able to just "get over" my past, or why does it all feel so meaningless? Maybe there are other questions, like “what am I doing with my life” or “who do I want to be?”. It’s okay to take time that's just for you, to look at your life and see both the big picture and explore the often overlooked details. With the right support, you can feel more present, connected, and in control of your life.

Do you find yourself missing out on things because of anxiety and self-doubt? In today’s world of social media, comparison, and 24/7 news updates it’s understandable that as humans we’re feeling more overwhelmed, doubtful and on-edge than ever. Our brains are designed to keep us safe, not happy, and therefore, it’s understandable that anxiety gets the best of us sometimes! With the proper knowledge and tools, we can learn to better understand our anxious brain and develop a healthier relationship with anxiety and worry that will allow us to live a full and meaningful life.

Living a life where you're dealing with anxiety alongside symptoms of obsessions and compulsions can be quite scary. Navigating these experiences can become less intimidating when we gain an understanding of what we're going through and we have the support to take deliberate steps towards addressing it. There may be instances where those in your life don't fully understand what you are going through, leading you to keep your intrusive thoughts and compulsive urges to yourself. It's important to know that you're not alone, as these symptoms are more common than you might realize.
