Hi! I’m Hilary - I’m the founder of Flora Foundations and a mental health provider! I’m so glad to meet you!

Life can bring many challenges. Nobody should be left behind and feel like they have to face their problems alone. Talking with a professional counsellor, and deciding that you want to get help, is a big step and we will work with you to develop realistic and meaningful goals. We are here to listen, provide emotional support, guidance to gain a new perspective, and to learn about yourself.

At times, we all need support to navigate the challenges and difficulties we face in our lives. My counselling approach is rooted in the belief that understanding our experiences, our story, and ourselves can be a transformative journey towards greater self-acceptance and hope for the future. I recognize that our challenges are often a reflection of what we have been through in the past, shaping our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. As we gain perspective and compassion for ourselves, we are empowered to develop healthier coping strategies, heal from past wounds, and embark on a path towards personal growth and fulfillment.

I am a registered Social Worker and have been in practice for more than 20 years. I have a Master of Social Work degree, with a specialization in Individual and Family practice.

Life can be hard, especially when you are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, loss or even anger. It can be difficult to believe that your life has the possibility to be anything different.

I have been working with individuals and families for over 10 years to help navigate the complex waters of addictions, parenting struggles, inter-partner violence, depression, anxiety, stress, and coping and through all of these adversities there is the possibility for change, and you don't have to go through it alone.

Trauma occurs many ways – abuse, accidents, divorce, death and it can suck the life right out of you. Maybe you’ve had sleepless nights and restless mornings and it does not feel worth it to get out of bed. Maybe you've thought of harming yourself or possibly had suicidal thoughts. Trauma can affect all parts of your life; your relationships, your ability to work, your ability to feel safe and happy. Sometimes you feel like all is well and that you have dealt with it. You feel fine and 6 months later it feels like it just happened, It is possible to get your life back. Reach out, I can help.

Each client has a story that has brought them to counseling. As individualized as client issues are; whether grief, trauma, conflict or any situation I believe people need and want to be heard. Discovering insight; an understanding and awareness of the situation is the foundation to moving forward in some capacity. Counselling provides the space and attentive listening to begin this process and to set goals to living one’s best life.

Life tends to be full of ups and downs, with no shortage of uncertainties and challenges. At times, we may find ourselves feeling overwhelmed, stressed, overworked, burnt out, depressed, lacking in sleep, lacking in meaning, struggling in relationships, or stuck and unsure how to proceed. We may also realize that we're repeating unhelpful cycles, behaviours, or thought patterns that we developed in response to past experiences and that it's time to make some changes. It's during these times that we can benefit from additional support, perspective, and strategies.
