Are you feeling tired, depressed, anxious? Have you ever felt as though you were too depressed to even get out of bed? It’s easy for our negative thoughts to consume us. This is because our brains have a hardwired negativity bias that helped our ancestors survive. For this reason, we are left with brains that often focus on the negative, while minimizing the positive aspects of our lives. It can seem like our brains cut out the positive components of our being, like a deleted scene from a movie.

At some point we all struggle to adjustment to life's changes; it's normal to feel stuck and I believe people have what it takes to adjust.

The Avery Centre has experienced and compassionate therapists ready to help children and adults suffering from trauma, grief, loss, and/or PTSD. After a crisis, loss, or trauma, each individual has their own way of grieving, and coping. Sadness, guilt, shock, anger, frustration, rage, and feelings of helplessness may occur. The healing process may begin with the passage of time and the support of loved ones; however, professional help may be needed for support during the initial shock of the situation and later on while experiencing different stages of the grief cycle. The Avery Centre was created to provide clients with support, guidance, understanding, and empathy during these most difficult times.

I am honored to be a part of my client's journey to healing and well being. Life is often difficult, and finding the right person to work with through the lows and the highs is critically important. I bring a combination of experience, compassion, empathy and training to each session. I welcome all clients, my primary focus and expertise is with adults. If you're struggling with depression or anxiety, ADD, addiction, trauma, or any other issue, I would like to help.

First of all, you're not “broken” and you don’t need to be “fixed.” You just need help finding answers to your concerns; answers that you already possess but just can't access. You need a person, with both personal and professional experience who understands your concerns to help you to sort through and address them . That’s where I can help. If you want an emotionally distant therapist who uses psychobabble and views you as a project, I won't be a good fit for you. Rather, if you want a confidant and partner who believes therapy should be personal, non-threatening and understandable, please keep reading.
