Anne-Marie
Registered Psychotherapist (she/her)
Trauma Immersed
First Responder Trained
Like you, I have experienced life’s highs and lows and I understand that the lows are sometimes too hard to handle on one’s own. I draw from these experiences when I support my clients. There is great courage in taking the step to seek help and you are brave for searching to support your personal well-being.
Our sessions will be in an environment where you are safe and supported. I strive to ensure that you feel heard and can comfortably express your troubles. Together, we will seek resolutions to your concerns in an up close in-depth way to gain a richer understanding of your circumstances. I believe you have the strength within you to tackle what is troubling you most and I am here to help guide you towards finding that inner power and to find the real you.
Whatever is distressing you, my goal is to help you recognize your internal strengths, and maximize the resources, tools and the options available to you.
In our individual sessions you will find hopeful, intuitive, compassionate, humorous, and positive perspectives.
I welcome and am happy to support clients of all sexualities, identities, races, ethnicities, backgrounds, and beliefs into my office with compassion and acceptance. My clients are ready to do the deep work.
I operate from a trauma-informed lens and integrate psychoanalytic & internal family systems theories into my practice with a person centered, narrative approach.
When not working with clients, I can be found reading whodunit novels, listening to true crime podcasts or standup comedy, walking by the beach, toes in the grass in my backyard soaking in the sunshine.
My Core Values
Empathy & Integrity
I believe that therapy works best when you feel truly heard without judgment. My goal is to hold a safe space where honesty and compassion go hand-in-hand, ensuring you feel supported as we explore the parts of your life that feel most difficult to share.
Deeply understanding your world while maintaining honest, ethical care.
Authenticity & Peace
Authenticity isn't about being perfect; it's about being real. Together, we work to quiet the noise of who you think you "should" be, helping you discover a version of yourself that feels settled, grounded, and at peace with your own unique story.
Finding your true voice to create a sense of steady inner calm.
Growth & Resilience
Healing isn't a straight line, but it is always possible. I focus on helping you recognize the strengths you already possess. By building resilience, we don't just survive life's challenges—we learn to thrive within them, finding growth in even the most difficult seasons.
Honouring your ability to withstand storms and continue moving forward.
My Why
Honouring Your Story and Creating Space for Growth
I chose this path because I deeply believe that no one should have to carry their heaviest burdens alone. My work is driven by a commitment to creating a truly non-judgmental space where your experiences are not just heard, but deeply honoured. I find profound meaning in supporting people as they navigate their most vulnerable moments, witnessing the resilience that emerges when we feel safe enough to be fully ourselves. For me, therapy is about more than just resolving immediate symptoms; it's about fostering sustainable mental well-being and helping you reconnect with a sense of peace that lasts long after our sessions end.
The Space We'll Share
Located in the heart of downtown Whitby, my counselling space is designed to be quiet, private, and welcoming—a peaceful sanctuary where you can feel safe to begin your healing journey.
