I have been in the human service field for 30 years working with people from all cultures and walks of life. I am thrilled to bring that experience with me into my private counselling practice. I have always loved to help people in very practical ways and having a front row seat as individuals transform their lives in ways even they did not think possible is beyond amazing. This is what continues to fuel my passion for the profession of counselling therapy.
I look forward to working with you and helping you work towards mental wellness. I want to help you thrive, not just survive!
Hi, I'm Dawn
I'm here because I believe that
under the right circumstances, therapy can be life changing!
My approach is collaborative and client centered and I work diligently at creating a safe and non judgmental space where you will be heard and affirmed.

My approach to therapy is person centered (you lead the way) and non-directive (I am not the expert of your life, you are!) I work with teens, adults and couples. My goal is to grab my therapeutic tool box and a flashlight and meet you exactly where you are at so we can find the way out of the darkness together. I am trained in EMDR ( Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and have found it to be a very effective therapy for a variety of mental health issues, including PTSD and CPTSD.
My Approach:
WORK WITH ME
What I'm into:
I'm really into my husband of 12 years, my son, stepson, and our 2 black labs, Jessie and Mya.
My hobbies include crochet, gardening, and watching great made for TV drama series with my husband. Camping is our favourite thing to do in the summer and we travel across the province having great adventures with our two dogs. I also love a good movie and popcorn night.
