"Are you seeking to make positive life change as an individual, as a couple, in your family relationship or your work? If you are in a relationship conflict, worried about your child's behavior, Anne can give you tools to find the inner strength to manage anxiety, stop argument patterns, open communication & intimacy with your partner or help your teen. Understanding, helping you consider options, results in positive actions, empowerment & future plans. Reduce & manage your stress; the goal is to connect with you so that every session brings meaningful results. Mediation can open possibilities or help manage separation with dignity."

"A Clinical Social Worker and a Marriage and Family Therapist for the past 13 years I have worked with individuals, couples and families in a wide variety of roles. Research studies have shown that forming a strong felt connection, between therapist and client holds the key to development of a therapeutic alliance, and in-turn success in therapy. Additionally specific use of therapeutic methods and/or approaches designed to meet the needs of the client also deserve merit. My goal with each and every client is to work hard at forming that unique combination of alliance and approach that optimises success."

"Just like adults, children also experience a full range of human emotions such as anxiety or depression & are equally impacted by their environment, such as divorce, parental conflict, abuse or school issues. Unlike adults, children express their feelings using behaviours instead of words. Depending upon the age of the child, behaviours can range from acting out, defiance, inability to control anger, depression, self harm, etc. Regardless of age, children want and need to be heard. I accomplish this using age appropriate therapies such as art, play, sandbox, and talk therapy to explore what is causing them distress, and to create well-being."

"I believe that choosing to tell and own our story is the bravest thing we will ever do. My commitment is to create a safe, non-judgemental, and warm place where you can feel seen and fully heard. In my clinical practice, it is a privilege and pleasure to work with youth (14 yrs+), adult individuals, and couples. I support people as they work through various mental health difficulties, relational issues, sexuality, LGBTQ issues, overwhelming experiences, and identity. I have a special interest and research focus on emotion regulation issues (uncontrolled/overcontrolled emotion), intimacy, shame, and anxiety disorders."

"I use humor, compassion and a body-centered approach to support lasting life style changes and personal growth that reflect your strengths and highest values. I believe that life's difficulties are workable and from this premise it is my intention to assist you in gentle and friendly ways to tap into your resources. From this more resourced place, I will support you to work with your difficulties. People seek my services for help with stress, depression, anxiety, pain, trauma, grief and loss. I offer both in person and telephone counselling. My approach integrates a unique blend of Mindfulness and Somatic Experiencing."

"If you are like most individuals, couples I see, you are worried about your relationships and are searching for ways to change the negative patterns that seem to be dragging you and your family down and making life difficult. Are you feeling unheard and very alone? Are you dealing with infidelity, anger, or substance abuse? Separation is not necessarily the solution. You may need help to cope and move forward. I provide professional counselling/therapy governed by the ethical requirements of the CCPA. Call for a free 1/2 hour no obligation consultation; see if I am the right person for you."

"Conveniently located off the Queensway, I offer clients an informal and nonjudgmental atmosphere where self-change and transformation is truly possible, regardless of how stuck they may feel. I work with adults (including First Responders), adolescents, children and couples/families to overcome mental health difficulties and life challenges including (but not limited to) anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, addiction and grief. As a wife and mother, I am passionate about working with clients as they encounter family/parental conflict and postpartum transition, supporting them to build a stable, peaceful home environment. "

"The healing process is unique to each person. While many go through similar events, not everyone experiences them in the same way. I view my clients through a holistic lens to develop a collaborative, therapeutic relationship. I help my clients develop healthy ways to manage distress, find ways to move out of being stuck, develop new insight for unresolved issues, and increase overall wellbeing. My primary focus is working with clients who have experienced trauma. Because the nature of trauma is complex, I use an integrative, person-centered approach to meet my clients' needs at their pace and readiness."
