Issues such as depression, anxiety and relationship problems are often the result of a lack of skills and due to old patterns, not pathology. Untreated depression and anxiety can have a huge impact on every area of our lives. I teach clients skills and perspectives that can empower, uplift and connect.

Do you ever feel looked-over, not heard or less worthy? Do you have people in your life who seem to be excelling but some days you can barely muster the energy to look at your to-do list, let alone accomplish much? Have you experienced loss - as in a loved one passing away, or loss as in divorce, a break-up, job loss or friendships ending? We can often feel alone, but that is where Mare comes in. She creates a safe, open, accepting and confidential space in which you can explore your thoughts and feelings to be empowered for change.

I work from a client-centered approach, where the core of my approach is a focus on building connection through trust and safety. I see what is alive for my clients and connect with other parts of their inner worlds, not just the problems they bring and share. I think it is crucial to be able to see the essence of the person and work from their strengths. I focus on my client’s purposes and intentions as the core of our relationship.

For most of my life, I have been fascinated by people’s stories. I treasure the privilege of getting to know someone’s journey and witness the ways they come to heal, grow and deepen into who they are. My role as a counsellor is to support, listen and encourage you. I hope to provide a safe harbour in whatever waters you are navigating in your life by being an anchoring and steady presence.

We all experience challenges at different times in our lives. Therapy can help us see our path more clearly and navigate our way through difficult and challenging times. We can get stuck in old patterns and ways of responding to life's challenges. Often we're not aware of where these responses may be coming from. When we get curious about what were experiencing, it can lead to new insights and an opportunity to create conditions to move toward a positive future. I have experience working with individuals who are experiencing a wide range of challenges including life transitions, stress, grief, depression, and anxiety.

Being a “helper” has always been in my nature. I find a true sense of purpose in knowing I have been of service assisting others in their journey to self improvement, providing an empathetic sounding board, and non-judgemental guidance. I believe that counselling is a collaborative process in which my role is to walk alongside each of my clients, providing them with the emotional support and psycho-educational tools to draw upon the strength & solutions that inherently lie within them. I work with adult individuals, those seeking relationship & marriage counselling, and women during their prenatal/postpartum period.

They are willing to put the action & effort into themselves for it. They are willing to risk stepping into the unknown. My ideal client wants a guide to their power and to move away from self-punishment. They are those who have become lost, wandering in circles of their hurt -- confused or disconnected from life in & around them - For these I am in service.

I believe strongly in supporting people on their personal healing journey to walk alongside them in their pursuit of balance and health. I am committed to Truth and Reconciliation and the support as an ally in Indigenous Healing. I draw from Medicine Wheel principles that look at all domains (social, emotional, physical, spiritual) in a persons life and the pursuit to balance.One of my main objectives is to support the exploration of those pieces of our lives that serve us and to develop awareness of the behaviours, responses, relationships and connections that do not. With this awareness in hand, a path of healing is established.
