Calm place. At the beaches on Lake Huron. Boulders. Long grasses. Blue skies. Fluffy white clouds. Nice golden sand at the shoreline. The sound of seagulls. The breeze through your hair. The warmth of the sun on your skin. The different shades of the water as far as the eye can see.

Calm Place. Where is yours? On the shores of Lake Huron? In the forest by a steam? On a wrap around porch in the middle of nowhere.

This was my calm place as a child growing up in the country. Being in a trail in the forest. Facing the road, the open field and the valleys/hills of trees. The lakes and the streams. The deer. The songs of the frogs at night. The fireflies. The smell and the sound of the long grasses. Carefree. Everything would melt away here. This is on my parents property in Northern Ontario. 💜

🖤Mental strength is not the ability to stay out of darkness rather it is the ability to stay in the darkness with the hope that light will shine again❤️

Are you providing in person services?
YES. I welcome everyone into my office. Make yourself comfortable in my office. Help yourself to a tea or a coffee. Have a snack. Welcome!!

For clients who cannot attend in person appointments, virtual appointments can be accommodated. Whether or not you have a sick child at home, there is a snowstorm or you are having transportation issues, we can connect by video. No need to cancel your appointment or reschedule.

What can I expect for a couple’s counselling session?
Intake sessions will be booked separately for both partners to come in individually. This provides the opportunity to speak freely, discuss relationship strengths and struggles as well as provide your own perspective on the situation. Both partners will have this opportunity. Couples sessions are meant to strengthen communication and deepen understanding and connection. Other sessions will combine both partners. Couples therapy is not about taking sides as my role is to be neutral to both partners. I use the Gottman method which is evidence based and builds stronger relationships. 90 minute sessions are often recommended for couples sessions.

What do sessions with adolescents look like?
Teens sometimes prefer to come in without parental support. Other times, they prefer to have parental support. It all depends on what their thoughts and feelings are about parental involvement. I encourage open communication between family members.

What can I expect during a session for my young child?
The first appointment will probably only include the caregiver(s) so that we can discuss what the behaviours and struggles are. This way, we can discuss adult issues without shaming the child. We can discuss next steps and what makes sense in regards to intervention. At times, children feel more comfortable with their caregivers in the session with them. Other times, the opposite is true. Sometimes, we need a combination of the child and caregiver(s).

Curious about family sessions? What do these look like? What can we expect?
Individual appointments can be booked with caregivers and children. This givers individuals the opportunity to speak freely and give their perspective. The word family can be extended to anyone; grandparents, caregivers, separated parents, adult children, adolescents and children. We can decide what makes the most sense for your family situation and goals; we might meet all together for the entire session or part of the session.

One of the most important factors for successful therapy is the connection that we feel with the therapist we are seeing. This is called therapeutic alliance. I welcome phone call consultations in order to answer any questions you may have. It makes sense to speak with a few different therapists to make an informed choice about the right therapist for you and your unique situation. These phone consultations usually are 15 minutes and there is no fee associated.

What can I expect when I make contact?
I will reach back to you how you contacted me (by telephone, text or email) To check in with you. You might have some questions for me and you might not be ready to book an appointment just yet. We can discuss the reason why you are seeking services (only if you feel comfortable doing so). You might want a 15 minute free consultation to see if I am the right fit for you. I will offer to forward a package to you by email. You could review it, decline it or fill it in. I will offer you an appointment date and time. You can fill in a package when you come in. You might not feel comfortable doing this either and that is ok. You can decline and provide verbal consent for services. You get to decide what is right for you.
