I am a Registered Psychologist with 10 years of experience supporting people in the mental health field. My practice is focused on helping individuals and couples create meaningful, fulfilling, and emotionally safe relationships with themselves and others. I work from an attachment lens, honoring our human need for emotional safety and belonging. I utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and mindfulness-based somatic modalities (Hakomi) to help clients acknowledge and understand themselves and their needs. When appropriate and helpful I draw from Narrative, CBT, and Gottman Method interventions support the needs of my clients.

As a therapist specializing in trauma-informed care and a Health & Wellness Coach, my focus is on cultivating confidence, self-awareness, and empowerment in my clients. Whether through a light-hearted approach or a deeper exploration, I strive to enhance understanding of the emotions that shape the narratives we construct about ourselves and the world. I encourage clients to view their lives through intentional lenses, prompting reflection on how their choices and perspectives align with their goals and values.

Balancing the roles of individual, partner, professional, parent, and friend in the world can be challenging to manage. We are often trying to do it all. Our needs and desires fall to the bottom of the list. This can leave us feeling depleted, defeated and resentful. At some point, the weight of life gets too heavy, causing us to pause and take stock. Old habits, perspectives and issues that no longer serve us are meant to be pruned away, leaving space for new growth. With the proper support, we can become more centred, balanced, resourceful, and confident. We can have the freedom to choose how we want to be in the world.

We have the ability to find our best answers. Sometimes those answers have been lost amongst all the other pieces of our lives and it can be a challenge to discover them. As your therapist and companion I support you as you identify and choose which pieces serve you and which get left behind. With attention, I get to know you, your values and beliefs, and this allows us to develop the approach that is tailored to you, your life, your future.

Has anxiety and depression become amplified for you with issues from the past resurfacing? Maybe you have been to counselling before but would like to try a more holistic approach; one that will teach you the tools needed to overcome feelings of sadness, dread and uncertainty? Often times, experiences buried from childhood and the past resurface as adults which can greatly affect the way we feel and our sense of purpose in the world. It isn’t until things get so uncomfortable, that we feel the only option available is to make a change. This isn’t always easy but reaching out for support, is the first and most important step.

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.

Codependency Counsellors
What therapy types help with codependency problems?
Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.
What happens in therapy for codependency?
Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.
How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?
Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.
What is the goal of therapy for codependency?
One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
