Life can be tough, and we all need help sometimes. If you’re here, you might be feeling unhappy with your life and struggling to figure out how to move forward. Maybe past experiences have left you feeling stuck, unable to fully enjoy your present.

You could be facing challenges like anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, or addictice behaviours. Whatever it is, know that you’re not alone. And more importantly, know that things can get better.

It takes strength and courage to recognize that you need support. Together, we can work through your challenges and help you find a path to a more fulfilling life.

So take a deep breath, and know that you've taken the first step towards positive change.

Why See A Counsellor?

Throughout our journey in life, we carry significant experiences with us, like items in a bag. Some experiences can be uplifting and positive, while others can be heavy and difficult to carry. These negative experiences can manifest as an indescribable pain or fear that weighs us down.

At times, the weight can feel unbearable, and it may be challenging to navigate life’s challenges. Counselling can offer a safe space to unpack your bag and examine the significance of these experiences. By processing your lived experience, you can begin to lighten the load, allowing you to heal and work toward the person you truly want to be.

hello there!

My name is, Adrienne.

15-years ago, I decided to take my hurts from the past as an invitation to heal, which changed the trajectory of my life. I didn’t totally understand my hurt, but what I did know was that I was not happy with my life.

Healing was my opportunity to foster new insight and integrate support that empowered me. Counselling offered me a space to find self-acceptance, self-understanding, and a release of that which no longer served me (including habits, hurt, relationships, and a version of myself).

I found this process so profound; I dedicated my life to helping others because I understand how healing the past can support a better present. I am a counsellor, and I am a woman that has healed. My experience allows me to walk alongside you on your healing journey.
