Throughout life we encounter circumstances that contribute to distress and overwhelm, and a hope for things to be different. I believe that change is always possible. I believe all feelings, such as sadness, pain, anxiety, anger, joy, and love serve an important function and provide us with information about ourselves and what we need. I recognize the complex roles of family, community, history, and culture contribute to who we are, what we feel, and how we cope.

I work from a trauma-informed perspective and offer therapeutic interventions based on approaches known to be successful in reducing the affects of trauma (internal family systems, sensorimotor psychotherapy, mindfulness).
I work with adults, children, teens and families. I believe that a therapeutic relationship is a partnership where both you and I bring strengths to the table to overcome challenges that are getting in the way of living the life you want to live. All people have the capacity to heal, and the problems that bring you to therapy do not have to define who you are. I will support you in becoming the person you want to be, whether that be by healing from past trauma or by dealing with current issues that may be getting in your way.

Life is a wonderful gift, but it doesn’t always feel that way. Sometimes we ‘can’t see the forest for the trees’, we get stuck, or can even feel like giving up. We all need help sometimes. Perhaps you have a problem you can’t discuss with friends or family. You may need a safe and confidential space to go inward, to reflect, process, make sense, and heal so that you can move forward in life in a positive way. In therapy you can do these things and hopefully you will find healing, meaning, direction, or a path forward as you continue on your journey.

I value collaboration and integrate insights from internal family systems, polyvagal theory, mindfulness and offer specific approaches like EMDR and CBT.
When we feel overwhelmed, disconnected or stuck in survival mode we need a soft place to land; a place to regroup feeling stronger and better able to cope. Whether your story includes anxiety, trauma, chronic illness or loss let’s work together to shift unhelpful thoughts and patterns, add to your skills and let go of old pain. Within a warm, compassionate therapy relationship you can leave behind thoughts like: “I can’t cope.” “It’s my fault.” “I’m not good enough.” Hi, I'm Aveeve and I love to help people make lasting change using extensive training in effective, evidence-based therapy, a little humour and a lot of connection.

Connection with others can be both the most important and the most painful aspect of life. You may feel conflicted: yearning for more rewarding relationships while being repeatedly hurt or disappointed by them. Perhaps you have grown tired of making sacrifices in your family or community without seeming to get anything back in return. Chronic disappointment is important to pay attention to, as it can impact mental, physical, and spiritual health. I am an experienced clinician who can help you identify and process thoughts, feelings and body sensations in order to transform them from depleting to vitalizing.
