At Allura, we know and understand that sexuality is one of the most fun but complicated parts of humanity, while also one of the hardest to find a safe and non-judgmental space to speak openly about. Do you feel overwhelmed when you think about your sexuality, sex life, or relationship? Do you wish for more connection and excitement with your partner? Do you sometimes feel stress or anxiety fill your life? We can help with that. Our clients are professionals, parents, sometimes monogamous and sometimes polyamorous, LGBTQ+ - but they all share one thing in common: they are struggling with their sexuality in some way.

Everyone experiences situations in their lives when things do not work out as planned or desired. You may be having a difficult time in moving forward without the time, tools and support to do so in a positive way. Our emotional health is equally, if not more, important than our physical and mental health. When we are faced with trauma, our emotional health takes a toll and affects our ability to manage and demonstrate the emotions that arise from what we have experienced. When individuals and family members address and work on issues, which have been buried for years, they are able to achieve a sense of peace, balance and comfort.

Welcome! I am glad you found yourself here. I acknowledge that counselling is a courageous step. It is courageous to look within yourself and realize that there are some things not working for you. Many times we have experienced non-death loss, suffering, and pain hoping that it would have disappeared with time but the intense pain, hurt, and anger continues to remain.

You matter! I believe working on yourself is the greatest gift! It can feel lonely and often overwhelming to navigate hard things. Maybe you have been to counselling before but would like to try a more holistic approach? Often times, we have experiences in our childhood that show up in adulthood in maladaptive ways; this can affect how we view the world and cloud our sense of purpose. Maybe you are feeling uncomfortable and cannot pin point why; together we can take a look at your life and identify what is making you uncomfortable and how to find the right tools to start healing. This isn't easy but it is worth it, healing awaits.

Sometimes, all we need is someone to listen. I work with clients who feel like they need a compassionate, empathetic ear to listen to whatever they wish to work through. I strongly believe that everyone has the power, strength and agency to work through life's challenges and I'll make sure you feel like that while simultaneously helping you build your resilience and "coping skills toolkit" or simply giving you the space to talk and feel seen and heard.
