Hey there! As a therapist, I’m here to support you through challenges and help you move toward meaningful change. I often find myself working with individuals who are navigating a variety of difficulties, such as anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, depression, ADHD, and interpersonal conflicts. I know how overwhelming these struggles can feel. My goal is to offer a safe, supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and accepted, so that you can build resilience, adjust to life’s changes, and reconnect with your sense of worth and grow.

Hi! I am a therapist with a deep passion + appreciation for all things body. I enjoy supporting clients in developing and cultivating a more meaningful and peaceful relationship with their body, whatever their experiences may be. My areas of focus include body trust, body dysmorphia, body liberation, body acceptance, body neutrality, eating challenges, shame, sexuality, gender, self actualization, identity, depression, and anything else that the body experiences and holds. My work is rooted in self-compassion; that is the foundation upon which all good + sustainable things are built. Be in touch if this resonates with you! :)

I enjoy working with themes that occur over the life span, such as: Freedom from the self-doubt or anxiety that holds you back; Relational patterns that block your ability to connect with yourself and others; Fear of change, death, living a whole life; Looking for healthy ways of growing and processing unhealed trauma and pain; Developing your intuition and listening to your inner voice; Learning how to identify your thoughts, feelings and sensations.

Feeling stuck? Overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, or depressed? Struggling to regain a sense of control? I get it. I've been there. Life can be HARD! In times like these, having a supportive, trusting relationship can make all the difference. It would be my honour to offer that support to you. I call this support your “stick of time”—a dedicated, intentional moment set aside just for you. It’s a space for mindful reflection, curiosity, self-awareness, and growth. This time belongs solely to you, where you can safely explore your experience, draw on your inner wisdom, and move toward the goals that matter most to you.

Hi, I’m Allanna. I’m an art therapist based in St. John’s, NL, working with adults. Common themes in my practice include anxiety, depression, life transitions, identity exploration, and patterns that feel difficult to shift. I also welcome a wide range of concerns and lived experiences. Art therapy uses creative processes such as drawing, painting, collage, and other creative materials to support emotional expression and reflection. You do not need any art experience. The focus is not on making “good” art, but on using materials to better understand your thoughts, emotions, and patterns.

Sometimes life asks more of us than we can comfortably carry. I offer a warm, supportive space where we can slow down, reflect, and explore your experiences. While I support folks across several concerns, including anxiety, shame, and neurodivergence, my practice tends to focus on relational distress. I pull from attachment theory and trauma-informed approaches to navigate difficult relationships, both past and present. As social beings, we find resilience through vulnerable and validating connections, which I aim to collaboratively create within our therapeutic alliance.

The changes we go through in life can leave us questioning our ability to cope, who we are, what we want, and how we can move forward. Navigating transition is easier said than done, but with the right support, it's possible.
