Is your past affecting your present or your parenting? Is your child explosive or anxious? Do you wish your a startle reflex wasn't so strong? Want to explore your identities or have them understood so you can work on other issues at hand? Have you tried other therapy and is has helped but you didn't feel like you were getting enough out of it, or you have great coping skills but you want to thrive rather than cope? Maybe EMDR, Animal Assisted Interventions, Emotion Focused Family Therapy or Play Therapy is right for you!
The core of my work is focused on supporting individual growth, identity development, and long term healing, through the use of numerous modalities. I believe in client-centered approaches, somatic work, and strengths-based therapy. My 15 years of experience can support you or your family in learning how to thrive not just survive.
Life comes with traumas both big and small. All people need support! You don't have to do it alone. Together we can help you to heal, connect with others and grow into the person you are underneath all the stress. We also offer fun mental wellness classes. Contact us for a 15 min free consultation to see if Grow Counselling is right for you.

It's beyond coping. Healing the root causes of PTSD, parenting concerns, and or depression creates lasting change that allows you more connections in life and to thrive not just survive. Therapy goes at the pace that works for you. Going over all your adverse experience/trauma on day 1 is not needed. EMDR and IFS support deep change in ways talk therapy can not.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is my primary modality for people of all ages. I also use IFS. This means is that we will work together to feel rather than talk your way out of your feelings. You still will get to talk plenty. And you can learn to listen to and heal your feelings and be in Self rather than be in anxiety, depression, dissociation etc.
