Hi there, I'm Tanya. I enjoy supporting young people, ages 13-35, who are facing stress, anxiety, depression and ADHD, amongst a variety of other emotional difficulties. Life has been difficult, especially throughout these unprecedented times, and can result in troubles with worrying, focus and attention, low self-esteem, feelings of isolation, relationship issues, and overwhelming negative thoughts. It's not easy. The good news is that despite these difficulties, counselling can help turn the tide around; it offers a safe space to gain new insights, coping skills, and confidence to overcome challenges and start feeling better.

Feeling stuck in a cycle of negativity, insecurity, or hopelessness? Do you long to improve your relationship with yourself and others?

In addition to individual therapy, I also offer couples counseling, where we work to understand negative patterns that keep you in conflict, and begin to create new patterns of connection, safety, and trust.

Do you experience reoccurring overwhelm, anxiousness, dysregulation, depression, relationship difficulties, bodily and/or emotional numbness, depletion of energy levels, insomnia or restless sleeps, dependency on substances to cope with stressors and/or difficult emotions, feelings of hopelessness, and/or thoughts that hinder your ability to live well?

I integrate complementary methodologies to offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client, and provide a warm environment where your unique strengths and values will be honoured as we explore areas of difficulty and work towards your goals together.
