At Wholeness Psychology Centre, we work with a variety of concerns, including trauma, depression, anxiety, addictions, identity crisis, and relationship conflict. We recognize that short-term, solution-focused modalities are appropriate for some presenting concerns. For others, a more heart-centred, holistic, depth-oriented approach to therapy is necessary. Our team has the skills and training in both areas to best meet your therapeutic needs and goals. Our approach is multifaceted and involves working with several layers simultaneously and getting to the core of your experience and needs in assessments and counselling.

During our therapy sessions, I am here to hold a space of gentle compassion, curiosity, and safety. To help you feel seen, heard, and understood. When we share space together, my goal is that you feel safe and comfortable to explore your emotions; we can become curious together, share laughter, and work collaboratively towards your goals. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults who experience anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, boundary issues, and other mental health concerns.

We all have the capacity to stray from our authentic selves, sometimes to gain approval or acceptance from others, or because our worth is tied to something outside of us. The further we shift from our truest selves, the more we see issues like anxiety and depression arise. I understand that seeking counselling and discussing your concerns with a stranger can be very intimidating. There are times in our lives, however, when this may not only be helpful, but even necessary. My goal is to help you rediscover your authentic self and to find the courage to begin living from a place of truth.

People come to therapy because something keeps them from having the meaningful life they want. Sometimes, knowing what exactly we're reaching for is the concern, sometimes, it's needing support with the hardships they are facing, or it's wanting to figure out what the next steps are. Whether it be dealing with chronic or acute stress that is lowering their quality of life and just isn't working, feeling out of control with addiction concerns and exploring the roots, depression and anxiety that sends thoughts of "not good enough" or helpless feelings - everyone deserves to have a fulfilled life.
