I connect with those navigating mental health (namely anxiety, panic attacks, autism meltdowns), neurodivergent folks, and perinatal maternal health. You may be journeying life not feeling "on" or like yourself. Have low capacity impacting your ability to function. Not feeling well rested or grounded. Debilitating headaches, brain fog, confusion, nausea, distraction… when one or more of these states take over, you can feel on edge, helpless, frustrated, disempowered, and hopeless. Through these moments of change and transition I believe in ease and abundance ahead for us. I would be honoured to hold space for you and your story.

Healing from trauma isn't about "fixing" something that's broken within you; it's a profound unravelling of rediscovering and embracing the parts of yourself that have remained hidden in the shadows of fear and chaos. It's about dismantling destructive patterns created out of survival so that you can reconnect and come home to your authentic SELF. It's about learning to live with a full range of experiences and emotions and feeling as though you are capable, worthy, and enough.

Life can be challenging and sometimes it can be hard to know the steps we need to take to better understand ourselves and live the life we want to live. I work from the perspective that being a human is hard and that we all face struggles throughout our life. While these challenges may be unavoidable, therapy can provide a place to feel seen and help shift your perspective, discover more about yourself, connect with your feelings, and discover meaning from your experiences.

I'm Carly, and I help teens and adults process trauma and grief, as well as heal their anxiety, depression, relationships, and/or coping mechanisms. I work with people from all walks of life and have a particular interest in working with survivors of narcissistic abuse and adverse childhood experiences. I have extensive experience treating complex trauma and healing anxious attachment wounds. Trauma is re-experienced in the mind and body and greatly impacts the lens through which you view the world. Therapy can be incredibly effective at helping you become unstuck from your past - more ease, better relationships, and presence.

When you become aware that your protective system is not letting you live the life you want to lead, therapy helps unburden the parts that keep you stuck. Through Internal Family Systems therapy you can get to know your inner system of protection, distraction and inner freedom. Protection may be anxiety, anger, depression and distraction may be numbing, dissociation, addiction and procrastination. You learn that some of your protection is based on what worked in childhood but is no longer serving you now. With couples I focus on learning to become relational through the work of Terry Real's Relational Life Therapy.

Hi there, I'm Tanya. I enjoy supporting youth to Millennials who are facing stress, anxiety, depression and ADHD, amongst a variety of other emotional difficulties. Life has been difficult, especially throughout these unprecedented times, and can result in troubles with worrying, focus and attention, low self-esteem, feelings of isolation, and overwhelming negative thoughts. It's not easy. The good news is that despite these difficulties, counselling can help turn the tide around; it offers a safe space to gain new insights, coping skills, and confidence to overcome challenges and start feeling better.
