I have significant experience working with men, and have developed a real sensitivity and empathy for the struggle many men face in opening up about, and making sense of their emotions. I believe we all have different ways of expressing ourselves and that using emotional language is not the only – or the correct – way to navigate our experience and relationships. If you are worried about being constantly asked how you feel, or about long awkward silences in the therapy room, that’s not what you will find here. I use humour, directness, prompts, helpful strategies, and most importantly, I work alongside you in a very human and engaged way. Our sessions will be collaborative and lead by what feels helpful to you.

How do we know what works – and why? I believe that most people can ultimately provide the answers for themselves; however, it may take some exploration. I therefore use strategies that are evidence-based and research-driven, to help clients build resilience and develop effective coping strategies.
A counsellor is someone who is there to provide guidance and support in times of unmanageable stress. While our sessions may draw from various counselling approaches, including CBT, SFBT, and Narrative Therapy, the client ultimately provides the backdrop – and puts in the work – that leads to lasting change.

I provide therapy for adults and youth struggling with depression, anxiety, symptoms of trauma, and feeling directionless and purposeless in life. Having previously worked as a journalist, janitor, construction worker and kids’ camp counsellor, I know what it’s like to take time finding your way in life. I also understand the stigma around receiving mental health services and strive to provide confidential counselling. I tend to use evidenced-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). I also employs a client-centred approach to therapy, prioritizing efficient and effective therapy.

Whether you want to move past your past, feel better in the present, or stop worrying about your future – I can help.
We are all individuals striving to be a better version of ourselves. What “better” looks like is different for everyone and yours can only be defined by you. My role is to support and guide you in understanding your challenges, defining your desired outcomes, and creating your better.

Accepting NEW Clients (Individuals and Couples) – Are you feeling “stuck” in life and you’re looking for a way to better understand the steps forward? Have you heard of EMDR and you want to learn more about working through trauma and its impacts on your life? Is anxiety, stress, or low mood something you want to explore and learn strategies to cope differently? Are you a couple looking to work through infidelity, sexuality, or just simply want the skills to better communicate and understand each other?
I work with individuals and couples, where I also consider the impact of trauma and culture in the issues you’re looking to be supported with.

Pragmatic and Solution Oriented. First, I clear up any vague or unclear treatment goals or confusions. Before assuming that there is a problem based on faulty thinking, I review the basic life situation to make sure that basic human needs are being met. I take into account any impulses and direction that come from the deeper, more authentic Self (psycho-spiritual issues). When indicated, I will work with dreams, metaphor, and imagination. On a good day, I help people make the necessary changes to their inner and outer worlds, so their goals are met.

Warm, accepting, inclusive and practical best describes my personal therapeutic style. I value careful listening, empathy, professional ethics and accountability, believing that all people possess intrinsic worth and have the capacity to realize this and make meaningful change in their lives.
I welcome clients with diverse backgrounds and needs, striving to cultivate a therapy space that is safe for all. I also recognize that men face unique challenges and barriers around seeking mental health support; my approach is to meet you where you’re at, at the pace that is right for you. Thank you for your interest in my practice. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi there, my name is Anna and I am a holistic counselor interested in reducing disconnection in our communities; I think this is something important for men and boys. My clients have described me as warm, compassionate, humorous, grounding, accepting, assertive and direct.
My offerings includes individual counseling and group counseling. I pursue ongoing training in working with trauma on the individual, group and institutional levels.
In order to maintain high professional and ethical standards of care, I receive ongoing clinical supervision and attend a peer professional consult group based in the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy; a body-based talk therapy.
Outside work, you can find me with family and friends, hiking and patronising the arts.

I provide counselling services in French and English for individuals in matters related to anxiety, depression, life transition, gender, grief, loss and suicide. My practice is founded on the belief that you are not the “problems” present in your life, and that, above all, you are greater than the sum of the events in your life. As my counselling approach is strength-based, Solution-Focused and Narrative-rooted, our conversations will identify, explore and honour the big and small ways you defy and resist “problems”, while re-authoring a deeper and richer version of your life and journey.
