Welcome! I'm Andrea, and I provide counselling to youth and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions with specializations working with teens & perinatal mental health. I have a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology, certification in reproductive mental health and birth trauma, and have worked extensively with youth and young adults. I'm also a human who has trudged through my own 'stuff', solidifying my knowing of connection and safety in therapy as the foundation of change. I work well with people who seek to explore their experiences openly, who are willing to reflect on their actions and responses.

My approach to counselling is very much rooted in the here and now. My goal is to help you get through whatever life difficulties you are facing and help equip you with the skills and insight to handle anything else that may come up in the future. Although our main focus will be helping you with the immediate issues at hand, I find value in looking at past behaviors and incidents to better help you understand how your emotions may be effecting your current situations. Each person is unique, therefore, your sessions will be tailored to best serve you and help you grow in the areas you wish to see improvement in.

Do you feel like you're surviving, instead of living? Are you overthinking and obsessing over things that seem easy for others? Do you feel alone even though people are around?

Is your child or adolescent overly anxious as they struggle with low-self esteem and a lack of confidence? You may be observing them figuring out who they are and are exploring different facets of their identity, including questions around gender, sexuality, and how they express themselves in their clothing choices. During this process, they may be having difficulty making or maintaining positive relationships with those around them. At home or school, overwhelming feelings of worry and frustration are becoming harder to deal with and your child is in need of support. I can support your child to thrive through all of these changes.

By all appearances, perhaps you have a rather functional life, but on the inside you feel weighed down by past experiences or somehow blocked. You feel the lingering impact of past wounds on your present-day life - perhaps persistent anxiety, intrusive memories, or a sense of disconnection from yourself and others. Maybe it feels hard to let people in or to connect emotionally. Maybe emotions actually get so big they've become scary to feel. You're ready to start taking a look inside, with my support and guidance, and are deeply wanting to feel more whole and better able to operate from your best self.

I believe counselling can be a space where we can get to know our authentic selves, where many parts of ourselves can be explored and we can start to resist the boxes that may be confining us. I view counselling as a collaborative process and recognize each person’s natural ability to gravitate toward change at their own pace. The genuine connection of a counselling relationship in a safe enough and inclusive environment is often at the root of healing.

I'm a big-picture thinker and analyzer. Raising 6 kids with my wife and years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families has trained me to see the root issue underneath the emotions and symptoms of a problem. I have been told that I bring a calm presence, spiritual awareness, a genuine ability to listen without judgment, and a decent sense of humour. I am also very open and authentic with my clients, so I do my best to be sensitive while also being upfront and honest.
