I work from an integrative, client-centered approach that is trauma-informed and rooted in empathy.
I provide an open, caring environment where all parts of you are welcome. It can be so difficult to navigate all the various challenges thrown at us today, while also striving to discover our most authentic selves. Complicated emotions are part of being human, but so often we isolate ourselves with these emotions out of fear or shame. In our time together, we’ll work to relieve those stuck parts of your experience so that you can move closer to yourself and the ones you love.

My approach is integrative, relational, and collaborative, with the belief that you know yourself best and have everything you need inside of yourself.
Is the world too loud, fast-paced, and overwhelming? Do you feel things more deeply and notice subtleties that others miss? Being part of a society that is not designed for those with high sensitivity can often lead to anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem. Trying to “keep up” to those with a majority temperament may leave you feeling burned out and unable to show up for yourself and those you love in the ways that you want and deserve. Learning to understand your unique expression of this innate trait allows for you not only to survive, but to thrive and see the beautiful gifts of being a highly sensitive person (HSP).

I'm Angela and I've been told that I'm approachable, warm and down-to-earth. Many of my clients come in saying that they had a "pretty good" upbringing. I create a space for you to explore whether it might be more layered. Through dreamwork, embodiment and somatic therapy, most people find that we have all collected socially constructed narratives that shape how we perceive the world, ourselves, and our relationships. They are the stories and beliefs that influence our values and identities. I've found that it can often be very helpful to have professional guidance in the journey back to your own body, voice and inner wisdom.

I have been supporting children & youth, and their families for the past 17 years in public education. I facilitate workshops and also do group counselling. I have a strong background in special education, which means I often observe the behaviour(s) of children and youth, collaborate with them and their families, and implement/teach tools for alleviating a child's stress. I have experience as a clinician for Adult Mental Health & Addictions in both inpatient and outpatient care from the hospital. This has benefited early recognition and prevention.

My therapeutic approach stems from a postmodern and social justice lens–although I view therapy as integrative.
I draw from an EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) and Person Centered approaches. I also use EFT and Gottman Method approaches for couples work. Postmodernism and social justice lenses are also an important part of my work. I view counselling as a collaborative process that requires both an effort and a desire to work toward change. Some of my lived experiences include systemic racism, chronic pain, religious deconstruction, and marital transition.

My practice is integrative, focusing on client needs, therapeutic relationship, and services grounded in evidence.
Life can throw us a great deal of challenges and obstacles. Emotions, memories, thoughts - it can all be so overwhelming when we are trying to make change happen. I have been helping individuals, couples, and families heal for over 10 years. I provide assessment and treatment to individuals struggling with a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, relationship difficulties, and substance abuse. I am particularly passionate about working with individuals with complex trauma and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder.

I utilize Coaching Principals, Executive Skills Development with Psychotherapy in ways that are integrative, holistic and fun for clients.
I work from a strength-based approach based in neuroscience and best practice, helping people impacted by ADHD to reach life goals, while reducing stress and tension. I have found clients with ADHD can have some big gifts beyond executive function challenges including: pathfinder, resilient, creative and the capacity to feel deeply. Coaching can help to learn new skills, therapy can help to overcome limiting beliefs. I offer both. ADHD brains are different and require a different "owners manual". With support and guidance the gifts and the gems of neurodivergent humans can be cultivated for their (and the world's) benefit.

I use a strengths based integrative approach to therapy, with an emphasis on emotionally focused, mindfulness, person-centred modalities, and cognitive behavioural.
The process of self-learning and connecting to our stories to make sense of our experiences, can be challenging and uncomfortable. In this journey, we can experience many difficult realties. You may find yourself lost and overwhelmed, while carrying the immense heaviness of these struggles. Therapy can be a transformative tool to support you in this journey. It is a profound honour to support children and adults foster their healing and make space for their collective emotions so they may engage in life with a larger capacity. My intention is to provide a safe therapeutic place where your voice is supported.

As a client-centred therapist I take a holistic and collaborative approach that is integrative of other therapies, as I believe everyone is unique and therapy is not "one size fits all.
Do you feel like you are unable to calm? Do you feel anxious and judged by others? Do you feel restless, irritable, and stuck in "on" mode in this ready-to-react mode? Do you have persistent negative thinking, emotional fluctuations, and repeating the same actions and patterns? Do you feel stuck and unable to lift your mood? These are among some of the many symptoms of trauma. Trauma changes the nervous system and the ability to regulate our nervous system is directly correlated with our mental health. EMDR, CBT, DBT, and Somatic therapy can help heal the nervous system, by processing and releasing trauma stored in the body.

What is integrative therapy?
Integrative therapy is a type of therapy that combines ideas and techniques from different therapeutic approaches depending on the needs of the individual client. By merging elements of different treatments, an integrative therapist aims to offer a more flexible approach than those who practice just one type of therapy.
How does integrative therapy work?
Integrative therapy approaches a client’s mental, physical, and emotional health in a holistic way to discover the sources of their unhealthy behaviour patterns or other challenges and considers the approach most likely to lead to improvement. Among the techniques an integrative therapist may practice are cognitive-behavioural therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, art or music therapy, psychodynamic therapy, breathwork, family systems therapy, gestalt therapy, and trauma-informed therapy. An integrative therapist regularly evaluates the client’s progress and is prepared to pivot to a different approach if progress stalls.
How long does integrative therapy last?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for integrative therapy; people who find they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that spurred them to seek treatment. New patients should understand that it may take some time for a therapist to land on a treatment approach that best meets their needs, but once they do, they should expect sessions to extend for a number of months, typically including at least 12 sessions.
How effective is integrative therapy?
There are hundreds of types of talk therapy, and research shows that while they vary in form, goals, and frequency, many if not all can produce similarly successful outcomes. But a single approach does not always deliver the greatest, or speediest, benefit, and so even therapists primarily trained in one model will use tools, language, techniques, or exercises from others to shape an effective treatment plan.
