The hardest step is to seek help when family and friends believe you can work things out on your own. Once clients have made that first step by coming in, I can help them work through issues that hold them back from living a full life. My focus is on compassion and empathy while finding a way through the turmoil.

Stressful situations can eat away at our ability to cope and function, or we can get stuck in unhelpful patterns of thinking, behaving, and relating to others that interfere with our living a meaningful life. It can be scary to think about making changes. I will take time to listen and understand your situation so we can identify and move towards your goals. Together, we can learn how you respond to stressful situations and relationships, and find new ways of coping to build a life worth living. I believe everyone has the capacity to heal and grow: my job is to create a space where you are empowered and supported in this journey.

Are you feeling the pressures of life weighing on you? Do you feel like you're a burden to others? Are you stuck in a cycle of thoughts and behaviour you can't break free from?

A good therapist will listen, will never tell you what to do and will help you explore how you feel. Counselling results in new awareness, growth and an increased quality of life when a balance of change and acceptance is found.

Hi! I'm Christina. I created this practice with the idea that, as people, we should feel whole, but we often experience life in a way that makes us feel less than that. When a piece of ourselves becomes lost or damaged it can be difficult to navigate how to repair it or put the pieces of ourselves back together again. I offer tailored therapy services for adults experiencing a range of issues including depression & anxiety, pregnancy related depression &anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, and related areas. I also have experience with substance abuse issues and other compulsive behaviors.

None of us deserve to face life feeling alone. You deserve a safe space where you can feel heard; a place to work through whatever comes your way; and a place to gain tools that you can use to live every day to the fullest. Perhaps you have a child who is learning to work through their emotions, or you are a young person having a hard time at school or at home. Maybe you are a parent looking to find ways to connect with your child(ren) differently than you are now or you're an adult who is about to go through a big life transition and want a listening ear.

I connect with those navigating mental health (namely anxiety, panic attacks, autism meltdowns), neurodivergent folks, and perinatal maternal health. You may be journeying life not feeling "on" or like yourself. Have low capacity impacting your ability to function. Not feeling well rested or grounded. Debilitating headaches, brain fog, confusion, nausea, distraction… when one or more of these states take over, you can feel on edge, helpless, frustrated, disempowered, and hopeless. Through these moments of change and transition I believe in ease and abundance ahead for us. I would be honoured to hold space for you and your story.

From time to time, we all face challenges that can be overwhelming. Sometimes these challenges are situational, but they can also be the result of our lived experience(s) over time. Often they manifest as anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and self harm. These manifestations can lead to further challenges such as job loss, family conflict, isolation, and addiction. Although we may flounder or experience failure, we can develop the strategies needed to live a flourishing life. Integrative therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Positive Psychotherapy, and Solution Focused Therapy teach us how to live well.
