Are you struggling with anxiety that affects your life, relationships, and your work/education? Do you feel burdened and frustrated by your own self-talk, emotions and expectations? Do you wonder if your relationship with yourself, others, and the world around you could be better? You're not alone. Now more than ever, people are feeling exhausted, battling with the requirements of life as their anxiety, past, and self-worth are interfering with their ability to live life to the fullest, impacting their relationships with themselves and others. I believe it shouldn't be so hard to live the life you want.

Accepting new clients - Are you feeling burned out, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or overwhelmed by anxiety, relationship challenges, or low mood?

Therapy can offer a space to slow down, gain clarity, and begin making sense of what you’re experiencing in a way that feels manageable and supportive.

You’ve been questioning parts of yourself lately - your identity, your relationships, where you fit, or what you actually want. Maybe anxiety is always humming in the background, or gets louder in dating, friendships, or family dynamics. You might overthink how you come across, struggle to fully be yourself, or feel stuck between who you are and who you feel expected to be. You’re trying to figure it out - but it’s confusing, exhausting, and hard to untangle on your own.

I take an integrative approach to therapy, meaning I draw from a variety of therapeutic styles to create a personalized experience that works for you. I favour experiential modalities like Internal Family Systems (IFS)/parts work, which helps us explore and understand the different parts of you that may have conflicting needs or desires (for example, one part may long for love while another fears commitment...). By working with these parts, we can reduce inner conflict and foster more balance and self-compassion. Alongside IFS, I incorporate practical and grounded tools from cognitive modalities (including ERP therapy for OCD).

Hi, I’m Carmelle. I believe everyone can benefit from the support of a mental health professional, and I would feel honoured for the opportunity to witness your journey of growth. Authenticity and empathy have guided my work as a therapist and social worker since 2017, particularly through my experience working with diverse and marginalized communities.

Many people feel weighed down by emotional challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, motor vehicle accidents, childhood adversity, or attachment wounds that continue to affect their adult relationships. They often experience a deep sense of anxiety and depression, feeling lost in life and unable to do what they need. Some describe feeling disconnected and uncertain about the real problem, noticing how these struggles disrupt daily life and relationships. Deep down, they long to better understand themselves, break free from stuck points, and move forward with hope toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Through the art-making process, I support individuals to discover resources of inner strength and empowerment, manage stress, problem-solve, improve their self-esteem, enhance interpersonal relationships as well as develop insights and self-awareness through reflections of their artwork. I hold space for individuals to create a language to express challenging emotions that are otherwise difficult to be expressed through words. In addition to traditional art materials, sessions may include grounding techniques for relaxation, the use of natural elements and invitations to work on your goals.

Does it feel like your past is constantly interrupting your present? Whether it’s the heavy weight of depression, the persistent "buzz" of anxiety, or the lingering echoes of trauma, these experiences can make life feel like a series of obstacles to survive rather than a life to be lived. In my practice, I help individuals move beyond "just coping." I specialize in the intersection of trauma, anxiety, and depression—where traditional talk therapy often reaches its limit.
