Hi, I’m Carrie – Helping You Heal, Grow, and Take Control.
You may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—held back by anxiety, low self-esteem, past trauma, or burnout. Perhaps your relationships feel strained, you’re struggling with grief, or major life changes. You know something needs to shift, but you're unsure how. That’s where I come in.
With 20 years of experience in mental health, counselling, parent coaching, education, and holistic well-being, I offer more than just talk therapy. We go deeper—helping you release trauma patterns stored in your body and develop techniques that empower you inside and outside of therapy

If you have found your way here I appreciate you are reaching out for support. Taking the first step to reaching out to someone; especially a stranger takes courage.

Unable to find the strength to cope with change and difficult decisions. Counselling can be a life changing experience; our present struggles and feelings can be a turning point towards a new direction. Counselling is a collaborative task and it is my endeavour to travel alongside you on your journey as you discover new ways to move forward

Do you carry pain that doesn't have a clear explanation; in your body, your relationships, or both? Maybe you've lived with complex trauma, abuse, or experiences from childhood that still shape how safe the world feels now. Maybe that shows up as fibromyalgia or chronic pain your body won't let go of, or as patterns in your closest relationships that feel impossible to shift. Many people I work with have spent years searching for answers their bodies and minds couldn't quite put into words.
Together, we make sense of what's underneath, at a pace that feels right for you.

Choosing me as your counsellor. If you’re looking for a counsellor, you need to find someone who is going to be a good “fit” for you. I believe that the most important part of any counselling is having a good relationship with the therapist. You need to be able to trust me and feel comfortable talking to me about yourself.

It is okay if you are not quite sure what you want from this, I will do everything I can to put you at your ease.

You might have a lot going on in life that looks “fine” from the outside. A job. People around you. Things that suggest you’re doing okay.
And still, there can be this quiet feeling of being on your own with it all. Not fully able to say it. Not wanting to burden anyone. So you keep going, as most people do, while something inside feels a bit heavy, a bit distant, and a bit alone. It can be exhausting carrying so much without feeling truly seen or understood.

How effective is treatment for insomnia?
The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.
Are there specific medications for sleep problems?
There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.
Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?
There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.
What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?
Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
