In addition to a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology, I'm also trained as an
Art
Therapist, and have worked with a myriad of individuals with unique and complex presentations.
I strive to create a safe, compassionate, respectful and non-judgmental space; one where you feel comfortable to freely explore and express your inner reality. I bring humour and curiousity to the therapy relationship, integrating a relational, client-centered, trauma-informed and emotionally-focused approach. Collaboratively, I hope to help you make sense of your story (however messy that is or has been) and to re-author it, to help you draw on your internal resources, to shine a light on the potential that you know you have, and to be in a secure and supportive relationship with you while you move towards a life of authenticity.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist,
Art
Therapist and Certified in Neurofeedback.
I work with clients who struggle with "regulation difficulties". When your "motor" is running automatically, too fast or too slow, it is very difficult to respond efficiently and thoughtfully. My clients struggle to be present, are unable to respond appropriately in times of stress, and cannot maintain a direction in life. Some of my clients have difficulties such as Complex Trauma, attachment issues, depression, anxiety and ADHD. This can happen to men, women, children and teens. Learning to be regulated can improve one's ability to focus and to learn, to be able to manage one's life and have deep meaningful relationships.

Strength Requires Time Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BA-P
Verified
Welcome! Do you feel stuck, lost, out of place, told to just deal with it? What if life with your partner could be as exciting as it was when you first got together? Has it ever felt like no one cared, that what you feel doesn't matter? It is so hard to think that we are important and that what we feel matters, especially if we feel alone, whether we are children, men, women, or the elderly. Communicating these feelings and other challenging moments can be so difficult for us as a couple, for our children or even for us as individuals, that we may yell, cry or use words that can hurt in an effort to protect ourselves.

Hi there! I'm Courtney, and I work with children, youth, and adults. Sometimes when you feel overwhelmed, it’s hard to know where to start. You may feel stressed out about your situation, but uncertain about what to do. Maybe you've tried therapy before, or you are intimidated to start. Or perhaps it's your child or teen who you are concerned about. Trying to do it all alone and without support is hard, but reaching out for help isn't easy.
