Therapy can help when struggling with these and other mental health challenges that may be significantly impacting your relationships with yourselves and others

Accepting NEW Clients! Over the past 16 years, my approach has explored connecting the mind and the body and so I utilize various techniques from these diverse modalities. I aim to bring awareness to the role our mindset plays in helping or hindering personal growth and development as well as working with the body in focused somatic and body-oriented psychotherapeutic approaches. I marvel at the wisdom of our bodies to find healing despite difficult traumas and challenges. I provide preparation and integration support for clients participating in Psychedelic Therapies.

Most of how we feel, respond and think is based on unconscious patterning beliefs. I am committed to providing a safe and compassionate space for you to feel welcomed where ever you are at. By shedding light on what is unconscious through the pathway of increased awareness major transformation, healing and new neural connections can occur. The secret to feeling more ease lies in examining the core issues that are causing the distress and look directly into those places that we are avoiding. This approach arises from my experience that lasting change occurs when metal, physical, emotional and spiritual systems are all involved.

Watered Heart Counselling was formed to help individuals live an optimal life. We believe habits create the condition of your heart. Out of the heart flows the issues of life! When a heart is broken, dull, hardened, scolded, numb or dysfunctional not only does it interrupt the flow of life, but it can suffocate and cut off one’s ability to function. Here at watered heart, we believe life is not the inclusion of everything or the avoidance of anything. Living a balanced and optimal life is one’s ability to adapt to life’s challenges while heading to a destination. Life is a means to an end…and the end should always be intentional.

Grief and loss is an experience all of us will go through at some point in our lives. Losing a child, spouse, parent, friend, or anyone you are close to and love is not an easy experience to cope with. Grief and loss evokes many emotional, spiritual, psychological and physical pain that may leave some people feeling paralyzed, crippled, and unable to function at the fullest of their ability. When this happens, you need support, someone to walk with you, be there to support you to learn to live with your loss. Recovery seeking individuals also welcome.

I have worked in the mental health and addiction field for over 13 years and in private practice for 4 years. I love to support clients who are struggling with anxiety, emotional regulation challenges, executive functioning challenges- like ADHD, relationship troubles, chronic pain, grief and trauma. I see challenges from a holistic perspective and believe that it's important that there is space for emotional processing as well as practical strategies.

I believe in connection over anything else. I work through an attachment and emotion focused lens, meaning that I emphasize the importance of your relationships, the growth of self through intention, and help identify those underlying emotions getting in your way and causing you to repeat the same life patterns. I work by bringing forward awareness, accessing unacknowledged emotions, creating change, and pointing out incongruences. My role is to help you feel understood, more informed, and hopeful.

You feel disconnected and unhappy. You’ve lost interest in things you once enjoyed and spend a lot of time on your phone or computer to distract you from the stress in your life.

Many folks come to me feeling overwhelmed, confused, or disconnected from their emotions or behaviours. They find themselves feeling triggered in relationships, or shy away from sharing their authentic selves with others. Some have significant struggles with their focus and can't consistently complete tasks they know are well within their abilities. When we don't know how or why this happens, a sense of powerlessness and shame creeps into our lives. Confronting these issues and changing these patterns is challenging, vulnerable, and worth it.

Looking for something different? Maybe traditional talk therapy wasn’t working for you. Art therapy utilizes creative expression – in any way you want and need it – to further explore thoughts and emotions. Combining counselling and art therapy, we are making the internal, external in a tangible way. Sometimes words aren’t enough to depict exactly how we are feeling, and that’s where art comes in.We have been using art throughout history to express trauma, events, and emotions.
