Therapists in K1C
Brown Counselling and Therapy Services is a team of qualified therapists who are passionate about working alongside you to provide the tools to help you navigate through life's up and downs. I'm here to support you. My goal is for you to feel heard, accepted, and safe. I know it can feel intimidating to seek therapy, but it really can make all the difference. One of the biggest misconceptions is that all individuals who seek therapy have some sort of mental illness; however, therapy is for everyone, and we can all use a little help once in a while.

Many clients who begin therapy feel caught in cycles of worry, rumination, or intrusive thoughts that affect their emotional well-being and relationships. These patterns can make it hard to focus, relax, or enjoy a valued life. Each person’s needs are unique, and together, we’ll focus on understanding where you are and where you’d like to go. I strive to offer a supportive space to explore what feels most challenging, reflect on patterns that may be holding you back, and connect with what matters most in your life.

Burnout & Confidence Coaching for High-Achieving Professionals.
You're successful on the outside — but inside, you're running on fumes.
You've worked hard to build a good life, yet lately it feels like you're constantly juggling too much: work, family, relationships, expectations. You keep showing up, but you rarely feel present. Even when you rest, your mind doesn't stop.
It's not that you're ungrateful or broken — you're just tired of holding everything together.

I work with people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, often after feeling misunderstood, unseen, or carrying things alone for too long. Sometimes it’s a slow build, other times something unexpected shifts everything. I support clients navigating trauma (PTSD), substance use, childhood wounds, self-esteem, grief, and relationship or communication challenges. Together, we make sense of what’s coming up, identify patterns, and create space for change so you can move forward with more clarity, self-understanding, and direction.

Wherever you find yourself at this moment, there is possibility. Whether you’re wading through hard times, on the brink of change, or seeking personal growth, therapy can provide an opportunity to encounter yourself in a new way. I approach therapy as a process within which to develop self-awareness and relational skills, address particular challenges, process impactful life experiences, and explore meaning-making. I have received training in AEDP and Self-in-Relationship Psychotherapy and draw on these models in my therapeutic work. I have also trained in Deep Brain Reorienting, a gentle and effective method of trauma processing.

If you come to therapy, I can’t promise to make the pain go away, but I can promise to help you live more truthfully. And that tends to alleviate suffering.
I treat people, not problems, for the problems that bring us to therapy are often ingenious solutions to deeper issues.
My experience as a therapist has taught me that many ailments and dysfunctions stem from an unmet fundamental need for connection, to self and others; to love and be loved, which can be experienced as feeling safe and simultaneously vulnerable. I draw on a variety of evidence-based practices, and spirituality, upon request.

Chaque personne est unique par sa personnalité, son vécu, ses défis et ses rêves ; et chaque personne doit être respectée dans son unicité. Lorsque l’on traverse une période difficile de notre vie, il est possible que l’on se sente coincé(e), seul(e) et sans espoir. C’est dans ces moments précis qu’un soutien psychologique et professionnel pourrait être une solution à considérer. Comme thérapeute, je serai attentive à vos besoins et à vos buts. Je prendrai le temps d’évaluer votre problématique et de vous recommander un plan de traitement qui correspond réellement à votre situation et à vos objectifs.

Do you feel like something in you is quietly unraveling? Like you're carrying something too heavy to name, too real to ignore? Maybe something shifted. Maybe life handed you questions without easy answers. I won’t offer perfection or promises wrapped in light. But I will offer this: healing is possible—in the small steady ways that matter. Through therapy, I offer a space where your story — no matter how tangled or tender — can breathe. So, if you're reading this, at the edge of something — an ending, a beginning, a question—come as you are. We’ll begin there. And we’ll find your way forward.

If you’re reading this, you likely don’t want to spend the rest of your life feeling the way you do now. Stressed? Exhausted? Angry? Confused? As we attempt to navigate in a chaotic world, it’s important to have someone to talk to, someone who can provide needed support. I have twenty years of experience working in mental health, including over fourteen years in a psychiatric hospital setting. My training is in a number of orientations, with advanced training in mindfulness, meaning-oriented modalities, and an integrated psychodyamic approach (self-in-relationship therapy). I've also received training in the area of grief and loss.

You’re the person everyone can count on, but you may be quietly wondering how much longer you can keep it all up. Maybe saying no leaves you feeling guilty, asking for help feels uncomfortable, or you find yourself taking responsibility for everyone else’s feelings. You may have learned that being helpful, capable or needed is how you feel valued, even when it means losing touch with what you need. Before becoming a therapist, I spent years working in education and experienced firsthand the toll of chronic stress and putting my own needs last. This shaped my understanding of how easily we can lose ourselves while caring for others.
