Anxiety can be experienced as general ongoing worry, intrusive and persistent thoughts associated with a stressful event, or even engaging in repetitive behaviours and having sudden feelings of terror. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), as well as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) which is the standard treatment for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I can help you become aware of your repetitive, intrusive thoughts, and open up to new ways of coping and support you in creating a new relationship with your anxiety. Together, we can help you take difficult, but meaningful actions in your life, face your fears, and ultimately live your life with more ease, and freedom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f47610a7e62a03994bd38d4/1774584733799-51HJUPVMI9IC3XVEN90X/unsplash-image-EwKXn5CapA4.jpg Anxiety & Intrusive Thoughts - Counselling for Trauma and PTSD Trauma is the lasting response after living through singular or repeated distressing events. When we’ve experienced trauma we might try to escape reality with substance use, addictive or unhealthy relationships, and overall find it incredibly painful to be ourselves, often resulting in a deep sense of shame. Gabor Mate shares that “trauma is not the bad things that happen to you, but what happens inside you as a result of what happened to you.” Through compassionate inquiry into our own deepest needs we can reconnect with our genuine, authentic, wholly integrated self. I use therapies like Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) as a tool for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, and I practice and teach exercises for polyvagal safety and connection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f47610a7e62a03994bd38d4/50fcd275-b8ec-4475-9dd6-83024e08fc02/unsplash-image-a6A66_HtTXI.jpg Anxiety & Intrusive Thoughts - Counselling for Depression and Low Mood People who experience depression often feel persistent sadness and a loss of motivation in life. You may notice that you struggle with day to day activities and you may even feel at times that your life isn’t worth living. Depression is more than just the blues and you can’t just “snap out of it.” I have been passionate about learning and healing from depression after struggling with my own experiences of depression. Through psychotherapy and mindfulness practice I was able to learn skills and tools to better support myself. I work with several different modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, somatic awareness, as well as self-compassion skills to support you in your journey to recovery from depression. https://www.truenaturecounselling.com/guided-meditations daily 0.75 2025-03-18 https://www.truenaturecounselling.com/mindfulness daily 0.75 2023-01-03 https://www.truenaturecounselling.com/ratesandlocation daily 0.75 2026-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f47610a7e62a03994bd38d4/1645733710647-V6ALTL5A6R0M04A23TZK/unsplash-image-hB_xgEXucQs.jpg Rates and Location - Rates I offer a free 20 min consultation over the phone or via zoom to new clients who are interested in counselling. 60 min session - $150 90 min session - $190 Insurance Coverage Many extended medical programs will cover a portion of your visit to an RSW (Registered Social Worker).

I'm very happy to be able to provide this opportunity to support you in accessing counselling at this time. Together, we will agree on a set session rate, which will be in place for 10 sessions. This helps ensure that others on the waitlist for sliding scale spots also have the chance to access reduced-rate services. As we near the end of the 10 sessions, I will remind you that the sliding scale period is coming to a close. At that point, you’ll have the option to continue services at the regular session rate, end and close services with me, or request to be added to the waitlist for the next available sliding scale spot.

Burnout is a state of emotional, mental, physical and even spiritual exhaustion and it’s most often related to work or caregiving, but it can arise in any part of life where you feel over-extended and under supported. Burnout can show up as feeling drained, numb or unable to cope with life stressors, as well as feeling disconnected, hopeless and cynical, like nothing you do really matters. Burnout is often framed as a personal failure to cope, but in truth, it's rooted within the systems that govern our lives. Capitalism, ableism and a puritan work ethic are all systems that aim to keep us monetizing our time and commodifying our energy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f47610a7e62a03994bd38d4/1674965827723-8HX68ACEHR8SZMZ1FFQI/unsplash-image-cwL_DmFQTMI.jpg Stress and Burnout - My Approach To Counselling for Stress and Burnout Living in a world that glorifies productivity, many of us have internalized the belief that our worth is measured by how much we get done. We push through exhaustion, override our needs, and feel guilty when we slow down. Chronic stress and burnout aren't signs of personal failure, they are conditioned and engrained responses to systems that devalue rest. I draw on wisdom from many modalities but specifically from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support you in identifying what truly matters to you, and how to begin living in alignment with those values, even in small, meaningful ways. I also work from an inner parts perspective, helping you get to know and care for the inner parts of yourself that have been striving, perfecting, pushing, or numbing in an effort to survive My approach is grounded in the principles of mindfulness and self-compassion, which can support us in creating a space to pause, slow down and reconnect with your inner resilience and capacity for being. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f47610a7e62a03994bd38d4/1673052240913-4P2WXJ50MGHT3XNZ3NLT/unsplash-image-uuTqbsQntpo.jpg Stress and Burnout - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.truenaturecounselling.com/familyestrangement-counselling-victoria daily 0.75 2025-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f47610a7e62a03994bd38d4/1750110709584-MZ2M7DFKK97CCY64LZUL/unsplash-image-SV1RVaer-Xo.jpg Family Estrangement - Victoria Counselling For Family & Relationship Issues Understanding Family & Relationship Issues Welcome… Thank you for being here. If you are reading these words you might be struggling with how to navigate confusing and painful relationships with family members. Experiencing conflict and relationship issues with family and loved ones can feel incredibly burdensome and lonely. I know that you long to be seen, accepted, and understood by your family even when those relationships might be strained or even harmful. There can be an immense grief in realizing your family may never give you what you needed or hoped for. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f47610a7e62a03994bd38d4/1750482637582-MLDCLHUCU85BFB0ECHKS/unsplash-image-hlj6xJG30FE.jpg Family Estrangement - How Counselling Can Help Therapy can offer a safe space for greater understanding of the pain and confusion you are experiencing. Factors like intergenerational trauma, unprocessed grief in family systems and unresolved hurt and pain can make families and relationships incredibly complex. One of the most painful things about being part of a family system that has poor communication, patterns of manipulation, or emotional withdrawal is the chronic feelings of shame, abandonment and overwhelming sadness that you might experience. Counselling can help you make sense of these painful patterns, identify and feel your natural emotions (that might include anger, sadness and grief) and begin to tap into your inner resilience and wisdom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f47610a7e62a03994bd38d4/1750533407430-N2X0F7YLZDKW5KMZFTCC/unsplash-image-n7a2OJDSZns.jpg Family Estrangement - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.truenaturecounselling.com/griefandloss-counselling-victoria daily 0.75 2026-01-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f47610a7e62a03994bd38d4/3ee6e133-a9e0-4682-af92-c6c80ff37dbd/unsplash-image-QsWG0kjPQRY.jpg Grief and Loss - Victoria Counselling For Grief and Loss What Is Grief? If you are reading these words you might be dealing with a lot of change in your life right now. You might have lost someone (or a being) who was really important to you, or maybe some of your relationships didn’t turn out the way you had hoped. It’s important to know that grief is a natural, human response to loss, and it can show up in many different ways. While grief is often associated with the death of a loved one, we know that it can arise from any significant loss, including the end of a relationship, the loss of a job, a change in health or ability, infertility, miscarriage, estrangement, or even the loss of a sense of identity, home, or belonging. Whatever loss you might be experiencing you are not alone, and your pain, confusion and sorrow are welcome here. Grief is not a linear experience and it can look different for every person. In our work together, we can create space for your grief to be acknowledged and expressed in ways that feel meaningful, and supportive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f47610a7e62a03994bd38d4/515de65f-d3f4-46b1-b27b-5193181f1c43/unsplash-image-buF62ewDLcQ.jpg Grief and Loss - What Are The Benefits Of Therapy for Grief and Loss? Counselling can offer a compassionate and grounding space to meet your grief just as it is, without needing to rush toward resolution or “fix” what hurts. It can be easy to try to push through grief, but our grief is often asking us to slow down and make space for our experience to unfold at its own pace. Therapy can help by exploring emotions, questions, and shifts that grief may bring, while also reconnecting with a sense of inner compassion, meaning, and presence. Many people find that being witnessed in their sorrow opens the door to a renewed connection with life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f47610a7e62a03994bd38d4/3783ced2-0d0b-4514-a7cb-564031fa3380/unsplash-image-PBcAG6bARdI.jpg Grief and Loss - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.truenaturecounselling.com/mindfulness-in-victoria daily 0.75 2026-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f47610a7e62a03994bd38d4/1774384670225-5N9ZAWJDNPU0NTAJPZW2/unsplash-image-4qt6g8Aabcw.jpg Mindfulness - What is Mindfulness? Mindfulness practice connects you to the present moment which is the only time anyone ever has to perceive, learn, grow or change. When we practice present moment awareness we become attentive to and aware of thoughts, emotions and sensations in the body, which allows for more choice and ultimately freedom. Mindfulness can be practiced as a formal meditation, seated or lying down or you can practice mindfulness informally, as you walk, drive, eat and are engaged in your daily life. When we practice mindfulness we are given the opportunity to adopt a curious attitude toward our relationship to stress, pain, and illness, as well as learning how to notice and open to moments of joy, happiness and love. Practicing mindfulness in our daily life can help us reconnect with our sense of wholeness, and interconnection with everything around us. This sense of spaciousness can help us respond to life rather than reacting automatically. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f47610a7e62a03994bd38d4/dc7f4528-3952-4cfc-a8e9-31c271ac1a7c/IMG_2971.jpg Mindfulness - Learning How to Practice Mindfulness Can Help You: Reduce stress Reduce irritability, anxiety and depression Improve your relationships Develop resilience and inner strength Cultivate compassion for self and others Increase grey matter in the brain as well as increase blood flow to the brain (positive changes in memory capacity, aging, and problem solving) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f47610a7e62a03994bd38d4/ca2f7cc8-f215-40b4-9785-9cce8019dd01/unsplash-image-wuU_SSxDeS0.jpg Mindfulness - Make it stand out Increases Self Compassion Mindfulness offers a way of relating to ourselves with patience and understanding rather than harsh self-judgement. With our mindfulness practice we learn how to observe painful thoughts and feelings, which allows us to “be” with them, as they are. One of the foundational aspects of mindfulness is allowing, which supports the healthy development of curiosity and openness to what is. The curiosity that is generated from mindfulness plants the seeds for greater kindness and compassion to develop. https://www.truenaturecounselling.com/8weekmbsrcourse daily 0.75 2026-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f47610a7e62a03994bd38d4/1682287342024-MY3KFW7FFVRVF7N1ZU9M/unsplash-image-betmVWGYcLY.jpg 8 week MBSR Course - Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) MBSR: 8 Week Program Next MBSR Program: October 15th - December 3rd, 2026 This 8 week, 9 session MBSR course is a comprehensive, evidence based training in mindfulness meditation and mindful hatha yoga.
