Psychotherapy is built on a promise; you bring your suffering to this place, and I will work with you to keep you safe and help you heal.
- Todd Essig
At Still Waters Counselling, I believe in the healing power of therapy to discover and strengthen your voice, embrace your authenticity, and develop an awareness that truly empowers you.
​​
With every session and client, I commit to creating a safe, trauma-informed, supportive, and non-judgmental space where we can effectively address your therapeutic goals together. I believe, wholeheartedly, that compassion saves lives, and compassion is the foundation of the work we will do here.
​
My space is here to serve as yours to discover and grow. To be human. This is where you can share your story. If you are ready to dig deep and start your therapeutic journey, I'll be with you through it.
I have learned that while my formal training and education are a significant and ongoing part of my career, the bigger part of what I’m doing at Still Waters Counselling is being human.
I encourage my clients to understand that in therapy, it’s two humans coming together to make sense of life. This includes its joys and sorrows, and understanding and connecting to the human experience.
I am not the “smile and nod” therapist. Don’t get me wrong – I do smile and nod! But I’m not a passive listener, nor am I a passive therapist. I am ready to push up my sleeves, be present, and get into the mess with you. I’m ready to laugh with you, celebrate with you, wonder with you, mourn with you, and process with you.

My holistic approach to therapy allows me to practice this sacred work from the perspective that all beings are whole.
​
I believe that every individual inherently has the inner wisdom and healing capacities to overcome the obstacles that they encounter and to move beyond, or even transcend, these limitations.
​
Through processing feelings, emotions, sensations, impressions, experiences, and thoughts, I will help you to identify patterns where you may feel "stuck" and help you to let go of beliefs about yourself or others that may not be serving you.
