Seeking a trusting and safe therapeutic relationship to engage in healing in a vulnerable and brave way? Needs may include: mental health, life transitions, stress, trauma, general well-being, grief, self-improvement, and others. Clients of any age, gender, or sexual orientation.

Many of us come to periods in our lives when we feel overwhelmed, confused or immobilized by our circumstances and our feelings. Or we reach a point in life when we know in our gut that something has to change, but we just don’t know where to begin. Doubt and negative self-talk can make us feel stuck. Sometimes we struggle with feelings of sadness, anger, shame or anxiety and can feel very alone in that struggle. Having a safe place to talk and a safe, non-judgmental person to talk to is key to healing and moving beyond the “stuck place”.

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk to blossom” -Anais Nin. I can appreciate how difficult it is to make the first steps in entering into a therapeutic relationship. Telling our stories takes tremendous courage and strength. We can trick ourselves into believing that it would be easier to remain silent. We all hit a point in our lives where we need extra guidance, a genuine ear, or a safe place to open up. I create a safe and open space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and stories. I combine several therapeutic techniques, to allow you the freedom to share your journey.

Hi! I'm Ryanna, a registered Social Worker. I have completed my Master of Social work at the University of Waterloo. I've supported people of all ages and needs in various social field settings. Before my clinical career, I supported individuals as a behaviour support therapist and supervision access therapist. I've spent many years directly supporting individuals with developmental disabilities, mental health, and trauma, providing community-based support at a men's shelter and working as a service coordinator with the Canadian Mental Health Association.

My focus is to support you in finding your best you. "A healer does not heal you. A healer is someone who holds space for you while you awaken your inner healer, so that you may heal yourself" Maryam Hasnaa.

"Don't mistaken what you had to do or become too survive with who you are or what you are capable of achieving".

As a trauma-focused therapist, I work with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, OCD, BPD, sexual harm, and all forms of mental health.

In-person and virtual sessions available. Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's stressors? Are you having difficulty with managing your child's behaviour or mental health concerns? Do you want to improve the relationships with the people around you? I am a Registered Social Worker and use a non-judgmental approach to create a safe environment to provide support. I have a special interest in working with children/adolescents, families and individuals and often use a play-based approach to make treatment fun and engaging.

Coronavirus concerns? Video chat (Skype) and phone-based appointments available! Has life become too stressful? Can you no longer cope? Is life not as enjoyable as it used to be? Do you struggle with any of the following: Depression, Trauma, Anxiety, Relationship Issues, Grief, Insomnia, or Stress? Sometimes life can feel overwhelming and seem hopeless. Instead of suffering alone, let me help you. I am a great listener who is compassionate and non-judgmental. I will work hard to earn your trust, understand what the root issues are, and then problem solve effective solutions that will suit your unique needs.

If you’re a parent looking for the right service for your child/youth, or you are an adult looking for a non-judgemental, authentic, down to earth, and compassionate therapist then look no further. I use an evidenced-based trauma and attachment treatment lens with my clients. We begin by building a therapeutic relationship and exploring support networks, strengths, and coping skills. This will also build a sense of empowerment that you (or your child) can use to navigate difficulties that may arise while transitioning to the next phase in your life/families life.

I have always been curious about human behaviour and passionate about using that curiosity to help others. That curiosity led to building many meaningful connections. My goal is to connect with others, provide a safe place for discussions, and offer empathetic support without judgment. As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I believe in the importance of empathy and building a strong connection with others. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors in healing and growth.

Are you struggling with grief and loss, sadness and depression, anxiety and frustration, or just the stress of everyday life? Loss is more than just losing a loved one. We have lost so much of what we knew as “normal” in recent years. Grief and loss are expected realities of life but you do not need to go through it alone. Connecting with the right therapist can be the first step in addressing your concerns and making a change. My intention is to just be human with you as we work together. I would be honoured to hear your story and support you in creating the rich and meaningful life that your deserve.

Throughout my career I have worked with people of all ages and abilities, with a focus on grief and/or trauma related to loss through death. I view grief as an adaptive response to loss, one which can challenge our coping emotionally, physically, cognitively, behaviourally, socially, and spiritually, particularly when trauma accompanies the death. I work from a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and relational framework that puts your needs at the centre of our work.

Change is tough, but not impossible. I believe humans are survivors, pushing through difficult times, healing wounds and ultimately thriving. Therapy support is a key component to moving beyond surviving to thriving. When you work with me, you can expect patience, empathy and a willingness to travel through the therapy process at your pace. I will be a guide and a partner as you share your pain and your successes. I encourage reflection and I support you to stay in the moment through my use of mindfulness techniques that we can use in the therapy room and that you can take with you.
