I love supporting individuals experiencing symptoms from trauma, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, codependency, and low self-worth/self-esteem. We will explore how the previous experiences you've encountered and the relationships you have had in your life impact the way we view ourselves and interact with the world around us. I like to use a variety of tools to aid in symptom management while also working with the root cause. My practice is trauma-informed and attachment-focused.

I work with individuals who are looking for something (and someone) unique and different. Someone who doesn't fit into the traditional therapeutic box and someone who needs someone to support them who are just as untraditional. As a Spiritual Purpose and Mindset Coach, I will help you to examine what is getting in the way of achieving your goal while shifting your mindset and finding deeper meaning and purpose for all life experiences. We'll look at what is blocking you, how you developed that thought or belief while working to release that story and that energy that is holding you back from achieving your goal.

At times life can take us far away from ourselves, and each day can feel challenging. While therapy cannot remove our challenges, or erase our past, it can allow us to manage more effectively, and discover we are more resilient than we ever imagined. I work with youths and adults on a broad range of topics such as emotional regulation, anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, grief, postpartum depression, self-esteem/body image issues, and parenting or relationship challenges. If you are looking to change unhelpful patterns, unhealthy coping mechanisms, and want to build a more fulfilling life, take that first step and reach out.

I specialize in treating trauma and PTSD. Trauma comes in many forms: a single event, childhood, medical or just "something" that affects an individual internally. Trauma therapy involves facilitating psychological healing, self-growth and understanding. We will work to identify core beliefs that immerged due to life experiences, then begin to process and manage them with a sense of support, confidence and strength.

Have you ever been told that you worry too much? That you get stressed out too easily? That you’re too hard on yourself? Have you ever wondered why you need to constantly feel in control? Why you always think the worst is about to happen? Do you feel like your brain is constantly running and never quiets down? Do you have difficulty just relaxing and being present? Do you have a hard time trusting yourself? Do you often feel overwhelmed by fear, guilt, or self-doubt? Do you ever wish you could feel more confident? Or go with the flow a bit more? Or just turn your brain off for a little while?

Life is truly filled with so many layers (just like an onion!) which can make it hard to know where to start when it comes to counselling. Hi, I'm Julie (she/her) and I deeply believe in the beauty of connection. My own journey with mental health and being neurodivergent has truly inspired my passion for this field. I work with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, chronic pain, ADHD/ASD, self-esteem, and couples counselling. I am also deeply passionate about working with 2slgbtqia+ individuals and the queer community.

My specific area of clinical practice is in Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN). The difficult thing about CEN is that its impacts upon people’s lives are often hard to identify. Many people grow up with their external needs (e.g. for food, shelter, clothing, etc.) met adequately or even met well, but in an environment where their emotional needs were ignored, unrecognized, under-recognized or discouraged. You may have grown up telling yourself that you had a fine or even great childhood, and this can make it incredibly difficult to pinpoint why you feel empty, insecure, depressed, or set apart from other people.
