Reaching out for help can be overwhelming, and taking that first step is often the hardest, but it can be life-changing. I am passionate about working in mental health and creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you will feel heard and supported in sharing your experiences and challenges. Together, we can work to gain new perspectives, develop your skills, identify your strengths, and create positive changes in your life. I understand the difficulties and stress that come with caregiving, dealing with end-of-life, parenting, being a student, work-life balance, and dealing with mental and chronic illnesses.

Life has its ups and downs. Often we can find ways to cope, and even grow, riding out those waves. But most of us also have times when it all just seems too much; we cannot see a clear path ahead. That's when having the support of someone who listens without judgement and is fully present can be immensely helpful. That is the essence my counselling approach. My aim, in the time we spend together, is to help you discover and reconnect with your inner resources, as well as gain some new tools and create a viable plan to help you move from simply surviving to thriving.

You have a big inner world right now that no one in your life has the capacity to fully understand much less than help you through. What you sense and pick-up from your outer world may also cause stress and overwhelm. You may not even know what it really is, or where it stems from beyond surface stuff. It’s a dilemma. One that is often internalized with confusion and doubt until one day the discomfort moves to a new level. Maybe that day is today... you’re getting ready, building courage to ask for help. Navigating the journey forward requires space, recognization, understanding and skill… and I'm here as your Seasoned Guide. - M.

As a counselor, I envision my ideal client as someone who is courageous and motivated to seek help. They may be facing various challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, PTSD, addictions, or conflicts. They may have reached a point where they realize that they can no longer navigate these difficulties on their own and are ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing. My ideal client recognizes their need for support and is open to exploring their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in a safe and non-judgmental space. They are willing to engage in the therapeutic process and actively participate.

One of my core beliefs is that relationships—whether with partners, family, friends, colleagues, and especially with ourselves—are central to our overall well-being. The quality of these connections shapes how we experience the world and impacts our emotional health, self-esteem, and resilience. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or struggling with boundaries, communication, or identity and self-esteem, seeking support is a courageous first step. Together, we'll create a personalized plan focused on your growth, exploring your experiences and developing steps to help you thrive and work towards achieving your goals.

I enjoy working with themes that occur over the life span, such as: Freedom from the self-doubt or anxiety that holds you back; Relational patterns that block your ability to connect with yourself and others; Fear of change, death, living a whole life; Looking for healthy ways of growing and processing unhealed trauma and pain; Developing your intuition and listening to your inner voice; Learning how to identify your thoughts, feelings and sensations.

Deanne has a warm and practical approach. She likes the idea of 'holding space' for individuals where they can safely explore in order to learn more about themselves, develop skills that will help them "lean into" difficult emotions, build resilience and challenge old and gain new perspectives.
