Welcome to Your Healing Journey that will Connect you to your best life. 

​

​

At the heart of my practice is a deep commitment to creating a safe and welcoming space where you can express your emotions and navigate life’s challenges with support. I understand how daunting it can feel to seek help, and I’m here to walk alongside you as you explore your thoughts and feelings, heal from past traumas, and develop the tools needed for personal growth.

 

I genuinely believe in the power of collaborative and relationally focused therapy. Together, we can embark on a journey that promotes holistic healing for your mind, body, and spirit. I offer a variety of counselling services that accommodate your needs, whether you prefer in-person sessions or the comfort of online therapy. My services are available for adults, youth, children aged 6 and up, couples, and families.

 

**What is Counselling Psychotherapy?**

 

Counselling psychotherapy is a gentle partnership between you and a trained therapist. It’s a space for you to seek support for any psychological or emotional challenges you may be facing. This process is intentionally designed to help you understand your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationships, enabling you to foster personal growth and improve your overall well-being. I recognize that every aspect of our being is interconnected, and my approach reflects this understanding.

 

**What to Expect in Your First Session with Mary**

 

In your first session with me, my primary goal is to build a trusting therapeutic alliance. I know how important it is to feel comfortable and safe when discussing personal issues. We will create a non-judgmental space where you can open up about your concerns and experiences. In our following sessions, we'll work together to delve into your thoughts and feelings, identify patterns, and develop coping strategies tailored specifically to your needs. I will listen with empathy, ask insightful questions, and utilize various therapeutic techniques to support your journey of self-discovery.

 

**Flexible Therapy Options for Everyone**

 

Understanding that everyone has unique preferences, I offer both in-person and online therapy sessions. Whether you feel more at ease with face-to-face interactions or prefer the flexibility and comfort of your own home for online sessions, you can rest assured that both formats prioritize your comfort, confidentiality, and overall therapeutic experience.

 

**Support for Adults Facing Various Challenges**

 

Life can present numerous difficulties, and I am here to assist you in addressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma, grief, family of origin issues, and more. Together, we will create a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your unique needs and goals.

 

**A Nurturing Environment for Youth**

 

I provide a supportive and understanding environment for young people grappling with challenges like academic stress, peer pressure, self-identity issues, and emotional regulation. I utilize age-appropriate techniques to help youth express their feelings and develop important skills for navigating life’s complexities.

 

**Gentle Guidance for Children Aged 6 and Up**

 

I recognize the critical importance of early intervention, which is why I offer a warm and engaging atmosphere for children aged 6 and up. My age-appropriate counseling strategies are designed to help children cope with anxiety, behavioral concerns, family transitions, and more.

 

**Couples Therapy to Strengthen Connections**

 

If you and your partner are facing difficulties, I am here to help improve communication, resolve conflicts, and rebuild trust. Through evidence-based techniques such as Gottman Couples Therapy, Values, attachment theory, and Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy, we can create a safe space for honest and constructive dialogue, helping you reconnect and strengthen your bond.

 

**Building Family Understanding**

 

I appreciate that family dynamics significantly impact individual well-being, and I offer family therapy sessions aimed at improving communication and fostering understanding within the family unit. Together, we can address intergenerational issues and strengthen family bonds.

 

**Take the First Step Towards Support and Healing**

 

As you contemplate embarking on your healing journey, know that I am here for you every step of the way. I believe that everyone deserves access to compassionate and quality mental health care, and my goal is to create an inclusive, respectful, and empowering therapeutic environment for all. Let’s begin this journey towards healing together; you don’t have to navigate this alone.
