Canadian Family Health Individual Couple & Family Counselling | Trent University Emotional Health Practitioner Programs | Founder of Neural Network Therapy®️

We believe that emotional health is the primary foundation for physical wellbeing. We provide individual, couple and family counselling services. Emotional Health Practitioners address anxiety and depression, ADHD in both children and adults, addictions of all varieties, and relationship concerns. Our approach is practical and based in neuroscience and the brain's ability to change itself.

What does an Emotional Health Practitioner actually do?
Think of it as support for your mind, your heart, and your nervous system—together.

In my work, I use Neural Network Therapy® to help you:
• Understand the patterns driving your thoughts, reactions, and relationships
• Rewire stress and anxiety responses with evidence-based, nervous-system–focused tools
• Feel emotionally safer, more grounded, and more in control
• Release old beliefs so you can show up as the version of yourself you want to be
• Build daily habits that support emotional clarity, balance, and resilience

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, grief, or life transitions, you don’t have to do it alone.

Your emotional health matters. Support is closer than you think.

💆‍♀️ Taking Breaks to Recharge Your Mind 💆‍♂️

Ever feel like your brain just can’t take anymore after hours of studying or scrolling? That’s because your mind needs breaks to keep going strong!

When you start to feel overwhelmed, try a quick 5-minute break: stand up, stretch, walk around, or step outside for a breath of fresh air.

Just a few minutes can reset your focus and energy levels.

Next time you’re feeling anxious or stuck, take a break and see how much better you feel afterward!

You begin each day with a single dollar of energy.
Where you spend it determines how you feel.

Write down your week.
Include everything, your opening and closing ceremonies, chores, expectations, routines.
Mark each one as energizing, draining, or neutral.

Then see what draining tasks you can eliminate and which energizing tasks can be added in.

Notice how your energy and mood shift.

When you conserve energy, you don’t need to go searching for more.
It’s already within you.

Today, we pause to honour the bravery, sacrifice, and service of those who have fought and continue to serve for our freedom and peace.
Their courage reminds us of the importance of compassion, community, and understanding values that unite us all.
We remember them, and we thank them.

Does anyone else like having ice cream in the winter? The cozy comfort foods hit the spot, but don’t count out cold treats — especially a Happy Shake! (Smoothies are basically soft serve, right? 😎)

Think of this as your portable pharmacy — when you supply your body and brain with the right nutrients through food, you’re giving it everything it needs to make those feel-good neurotransmitters naturally.

💜 Berries – rich in antioxidants that protect brain cells and support serotonin production.
🥬 Spinach – full of magnesium and folate, both key for calming the nervous system and lifting low mood.
🥥 Coconut milk – provides healthy fats that stabilize blood sugar and keep energy steady.
🍌 Banana – nature’s serotonin booster, thanks to its vitamin B6 and tryptophan.
🌱 H**p hearts or seeds – loaded with omega-3s and protein to support brain function and hormone balance.
🥛 Kefir – a probiotic powerhouse for gut health, which directly impacts mood and stress resilience.

Blend them together and you’ve got a creamy, mood-boosting smoothie that’s basically mental health in a glass. 💫

Work–Life Balance Matters 🌿
Because your health, happiness, and relationships depend on it. When work starts taking over, stress follows — and burnout isn’t far behind.

Here’s how to bring balance back:
✨ Define your work hours — and actually stick to them.
✨ Focus on what truly matters most.
✨ Recharge regularly — rest is productive.
✨ Learn to say no without guilt.
✨ Set realistic goals that honor your energy.
✨ Unplug after hours — your mind deserves quiet time too.

Small shifts make a big difference.
Find your rhythm again with support from our counsellors. 💬
