Healing Starts With A Single Step
At the core of your life experiences is what has happened to you and what you believe about yourself and the world. These beliefs shape your decisions, the people you engage with, and, ultimately, the life you lead.
If you’re looking to change something in your life or heal from something that’s holding you back, I’m here to help. Together, we’ll cultivate self-awareness, self-acceptance, and compassion for yourself as you navigate this journey of growth and healing.

Depression/Anxiety
Self-Esteem

Body Image
Childhood

Hi, I am Adrienne.
Meet Your Therapist:
Since I could talk, I have been deeply curious about why people do what they do. My quest to understand human behaviour led me to become a nutritionist and counsellor. I have 15 years of combined experience in the industry.
Through my personal and professional experience, I have gained a profound understanding of how our past wounds can impact our choices and behaviours. I also understand what is required to make a change.
Having personally experienced profound transformation and healing, I know change is possible even in the toughest circumstances.
My approach is characterized by warm, nonjudgmental, direct support. I tailor sessions based on my clients’ needs using evidence-based techniques.
COUNSELLING SESSIONS
To ensure we are a good fit before beginning counselling sessions, I offer a free 15-minute phone call to all prospective clients. Each session after this is a 50-minute counselling session.
I offer individual counselling services to help you work through life’s challenges in a supportive and non-judgmental environment, using evidence-based approaches to help you develop the skills and insights you need to manage your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours more effectively.
Why See A Counsellor?
Life’s journey is like taking a walk with a bag on your back, filled with experiences—some lifting you up, others weighing you down. The tough ones can make life’s challenges feel like steep hills you’re not sure you can climb.
Counselling provides a safe space to unpack and explore these experiences’ significance and impact. By processing them, you can gradually lighten the load, heal, and move towards living the life you aspire to have.
