You work hard to make relationships work, work hard at your job, you try your best to ensure everyone else around you is happy but end up losing yourself amid this. Even though you feel isolated, unheard, unseen you keep going. You want to stand up for yourself but don’t know how to. At times you feel overwhelmed with emotions thus feeling lost, helpless and anxious. You wonder why you connect to people a certain way and wish you could have healthier/sustainable relationships, wish you could cope better in difficult situations/be in charge of the way you express your feelings.

Have you recently given birth? Have you suffered a loss? Are you feeling traumatized after your birth experience or feeling overwhelmed and scared navigating the fourth trimester. Are postpartum symptoms taking over? Feeling detached from your spouse, stressed, sleep deprived, self conscious or not like yourself is very unsettling.

You might be hiding your true thoughts and feelings about how everything you are living through is affecting you.

Are your relationships struggling because of anger outbursts and unhelpful behavioral patterns such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, conflict, challenges with child training, addiction, or overwhelming grief? You should know that there is hope for a better tomorrow.

Accepting new clients. Are you ready to commit to prioritizing your well-being to improve the relationship with yourself and others? Hi, I'm Christine, a registered counsellor specializing in helping individuals overcome the impacts of abuse and toxic relationships. I provide support and guidance to break free from harmful cycles, motivating clients, like you, to reclaim their lives. I understand first hand, the weight of these experiences and the courage it takes to seek help to embark on a journey towards holistic recovery. There's no better time to start than now because you don't have to go through it alone.

I provide Play and Sand Tray Therapy for children 13 and under. Children express their worries, fears, and confusion in a variety of behaviors from aggression to withdrawal. With their still rapidly developing brains and language centers, children don't yet have the capacity to accurately express themselves through words. That doesn't mean that they aren't communicating! They are constantly "talking" to us through their behaviors and actions. The challenge for the caring adults in their lives is to unravel what they are trying to say through their behavior.

Everyone has a story. Our lived stories/experiences can shape our lives in a multitude of ways. Have you ever been curious how some people just have it so easy/or so difficult? Encouraging curiosity and seeing through a lens of love and compassion for yourself is where it all begins. Living with an awareness of how we process, interact and show up in our day to day lives, starts to lead us to our purpose. Imagine yourself living your most authentic life. What an incredible gift you give yourself when you live from your truest expression. This process is about you; and how you can begin to live with loving compassion.

Only within a non-judgemental, empathetic, and warm therapeutic space, can people feel safe to open up and be vulnerable; I hope to create just that for my clients. I am a person-centred counsellor that welcomes collaborative dialogue with my clients as they discover progress, determination, growth, and celebration. Whilst borrowing from various therapeutic modalities to guide my work, I am an avid believer in the power of self-compassion, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Inner Child work. I am also trained in providing Emotionally-Focused Therapy for couples and individuals.

Everyone of us goes through tough times in our lives. We all have unique ways to handle these life situations, which may come easier for some individuals compared to others. Oftentimes, people will go through times where they feel stuck, unsure of why they feel that way. My job as a counsellor is to help those clients rediscover that spark and passion they had in life to empower them to learn the skills they need to move towards reaching their short term and long term goals.

You're likely here searching for a therapist because you're struggling with something or someone. Perhaps anxiety or depression have become too much to manage on your own. Maybe a relationship has become the source of pain. You may be struggling against a part of yourself that has you thinking or acting in ways you'd like to modify. At Sojourn we believe everyone has the capacity for change and positive growth.
