Won’t ever forget.

I saw these earlier today and felt they needed to be re-posted.
I KNOW this time of year isnt filled with JOY and PEACE for many people.
I know that family’s can be complicated and that mental illness can make joy difficult to feel.
I see you and know that grief really distracts from the holiday season and can create heavy feelings.
I know that financial stress is impossible to ignore and emotional abuse makes safety during the holidays impossible to achieve.

I see you and I’m holding space for you.
My heart is open, my office is warm. You are NOT ALONE.

Tis’ the season for our Annual Giving Tree in support of Halton Women's Place. This year we have lost a few women in and around Halton at the hands of intimate partner violence, the threat is very real in our community. So now, maybe even more than ever, we need to help support families escaping and living through Domestic and Intimidate Partner Violence this holiday season.
Halton Women’s Place gives all gift cards you donate to mom’s so they can buy Christmas gifts for their children and buy groceries to make a special meal for thier family for Chrismas.
The items you donate, gives these families, many of whom have left home urgently over the holiday season to temporary housing, items they desperatly need such as; pillows, pajamas, clothing, toiletries and winter gear (gloves, hats etc.).

Please, if you’re able to help in anyway we would appreciate it.
Here’s a look at this years annual GIVING TREE 🎄

I remember when this was a dream.
Completing my Masters degree part time while working full time at The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) and pregnant, determined to “one day” own my own counseling practice.
A warm space with genuine support rooted in science, research evidence, best practice and experience.
I wanted to make a real lasting difference in the mental health of my community.

On this day, Bell Let's Talk day I feel like there’s always so much I want to say.
So much as a therapist, as a mom. As the wife of a police officer and as a women who struggled with postpartum mental illness.
I want to say so much as a person who survived a su***de attempt as a teenager and who lives with anxiety everyday, I want to say so much.
And yet no words seem to do this justice.
Today feels important and amazing, but also hard.

Mental health is everything.

One thing I can say, is that kindness is at the core of healing your own mental health and supporting anyone else’s.
Your words are very powerful. Your actions impact people in powerful ways. They can inspire hope, feel like a warm hug. But your words can also break someone OR be their life line.

It’s really that simple.
Find kindness. Choose it always. Assume the best of people. Know that most struggles people experience are invisible and everyone deserves a chance to be heard.

Everyone deserves your acknowledgement.

Let’s talk not just today but always. Let’s talk about our hurt feelings, our struggles. Without being labelled as “negative” or “drama” Let’s make sure NO ONE is left behind.
Make sure your words or actions are never the words that break someone intentionally and that you start with LOVING YOURSELF.

We can do better so let’s do better💙.
Remember therapy helps, medication is an option and you’d be brave to choose it. Movement helps your body help your mind and writing frees your thoughts.

It is worth fighting.
My therapist, Elizabeth once told me “we never want to choose a permanent solution for a temporary problem”.

Today we TALK, tomorrow we continue to support each other through life!!!

As a therapist my “job” is to walk along side you. Therapists aren’t healers we don’t “fix” you. We don’t fix you because you aren’t broken.
Sometimes we feel broken, lost and overwhelmed. Sometimes we can drown in our emotions and lose track of what’s real in our thinking. That’s normal, there is no failure in that.

Therapy is NOT admitting defeat. It’s being brave enough to keep swimming.

Therapists are meant to be warm and steady. To provide safety.
We hold space for you to be safe while you unpack, process, learn, reflect and let go.

I know this is a job, it’s my job but for me it’s so much more than that. This is who I am.
I also deeply care about everyone who holds space in this therapy room.
Being a therapists means I’ve committed to do the work myself, on a daily basis to heal and learn.

Therapy is organic. Of course there are goals and theory that anchor a person’s counseling treatment, but what is said and felt in each session is the outcome of a process that’s unscripted.
It’s magical and so powerful.

Some people come to therapy in crisis.
Some come with a checklist.
Others come with feelings in need of an anchor or thoughts that need to be organized.
Sometimes people find themselves in a session without knowing why, but feeling like it’s where they need to be.
All those reasons are valid and worthy.

You deserve this space. You deserve this time to invest in your healing.

Whatever your reason. Therapy is powerful. Therapy heals. You are brave and amazing so please know that this tough day or painful time in your life is NOT how your story ends.

Take care.🩷
