I serve a diverse set of communities, including teens, adults, seniors, couples and families. I am passionate about supporting clients who have experienced traumatic events, struggles with mental illness, addictions and chronic pain. I also support folks who are struggling with conflict, communication, emotion regulation, workload and burnout within their work or school setting.

In developing a safe and respectful environment, I strive to help clients feel comfortable to start the journey of recovery from addiction, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and/or anger. I understand the journey of recovery from substance use disorders is not easy but I am here to support clients towards their goals. I also understand life transitions of individuals, especially athletes and how mental health is a large component of an athlete's identity.

Deanne has a warm and practical approach. She likes the idea of 'holding space' for individuals where they can safely explore in order to learn more about themselves, develop skills that will help them "lean into" difficult emotions, build resilience and challenge old perspectives and gain new ones.

It doesn’t have to be this hard. The things you’ve used to hold yourself & your life together aren’t working anymore. You’re very self-aware, but that doesn’t help you change anything.
There's nothing wrong with you; you make perfect sense.
Imagine navigating the world with a deeper connection to yourself. Where you’re not overwhelmed by thoughts, & your body isn’t just vessel for your mind & a constant burden, but an active participant in your healing journey. Where you trust yourself and are able to slow down to enjoy life.
My neuroaffirming practice supports those with trauma symptoms, anxiety, depression, stress, burnout.

Life has its ups and downs. Often we can find ways to cope, and even grow, riding out those waves. But most of us also have times when it all just seems too much; we cannot see a clear path ahead. That's when having the support of someone who listens without judgement and is fully present can be immensely helpful. That is the essence my counselling approach. My aim, in the time we spend together, is to help you discover and reconnect with your inner resources, as well as gain some new tools and create a viable plan to help you move from simply surviving to thriving.
