Are you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in old patterns, or navigating a significant transition in your life? Perhaps you’re experiencing a shift in how you see yourself and the world around you, or simply feel ready to reconnect with who you are.
I’m Deanna (Dee), a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor offering heart-centred, trauma-informed counselling for youth, adults, and couples navigating grief, anxiety, addiction recovery, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the desire for deeper self-understanding and meaningful change.
My approach is holistic and person-centred, integrating transpersonal psychotherapy, mindfulness and spirituality when meaningful to your healing journey.
For some, therapy may involve healing childhood wounds, inner-child patterns, or the impact of past experiences. For others, it may be a time of spiritual emergence, identity transition, or reconnecting with a deeper sense of who they are.
My work creates space to explore both the challenges you are experiencing and the deeper experiences underneath them — helping you move toward greater self-understanding, authenticity and meaningful change.
Whatever brings you here, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Together, we can create a safe and supportive space to understand what you’re experiencing, reconnect with yourself, and explore what healing and growth can look like for you.

Hello! My name is Deanna but you can call me Dee. I am passionate about supporting meaningful transformation, offering a grounded, compassionate, and non-judgemental space for self-discovery and healing. My approach is rooted in the belief that true growth happens when we engage with both our strengths and struggles, creating space for lasting change.
As a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, Certified Addiction Counsellor, and Certified Child & Youth Counsellor, I bring over 14 years of experience working in addiction recovery and supporting individuals affected by childhood trauma and other life challenges, and those who want to experience a new way of being. Together, we will explore emotional, physical, creative, and spiritual dimensions of your life to support you in your own healing journey.
Deanna is a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC) with additional certifications and registrations in addiction counselling and child and youth care.

Sometimes we know something needs to change, but we’re not quite sure where to begin.
You may be feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in old patterns, or simply know that you want something different. Counselling can offer a space to slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and reconnect with what you need.
Together, we can explore the patterns that may be keeping you stuck while building greater self-awareness, confidence, emotional regulation and connection.
Adolescence and young adulthood can be a time of complex change.
You or your young person may be facing hard decisions and feeling frustrated because nothing seems to be changing. Counselling can offer a place for you or your loved one to work through these storms of life.
Together, from a trauma-informed, age-appropriate counselling perspective, we can navigate these adolescent challenges and help you make sense of your experiences you may not yet have words to understand.
Recovery is not just about leaving addiction behind — it’s about building a life you want to move toward.
Recovery is more than simply stopping an addictive behaviour. It is an ongoing process of understanding what lies beneath addiction, developing healthier ways of coping, and building a life that supports continued recovery.
Addiction also impacts the people who love and care for us. If someone in your life is struggling with addiction or navigating recovery, counselling can provide space for you to process your own experiences, strengthen healthy boundaries, understand the impact addiction may have had on your relationships, and learn how to support your loved one without losing yourself in the process.
Sometimes healing invites us to look beyond the surface and explore the deeper parts of ourselves.
This work may include spirituality, inner-child healing, identity, meaning, purpose and personal transformation, creating space to reconnect with your inner wisdom and develop a deeper understanding of who you are and what you need.
Some transitions change more than our circumstances — they can change how we see ourselves and the life we thought we were going to have.
Counselling can provide a space to honour what has been, process the emotions that come with loss and change, and explore who you are becoming. Together, we can make space for healing, meaning and new possibilities as you move into what comes next.
The relationships we have can often reflect the ways we’ve learned to connect, protect ourselves and understand our own needs.
Counselling offers a space to explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion — creating greater awareness, healthier boundaries and deeper connection. Whether you’re working through conflict, disconnection, life changes or simply wanting to strengthen your relationship, the goal is not to lose yourself in connection, but to create a relationship where both people can feel seen, heard and valued.
You don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out for support.
Whether you’re working through something painful from the past or navigating something new in the present, therapy can provide a space to understand yourself more deeply and move forward with greater clarity and self-trust.
Whether you prefer meeting in person or connecting from the comfort of your own space, therapy can provide a supportive place to pause, reflect and work toward meaningful change.

You Don’t Have to Navigate It Alone
Reaching out for counselling can feel like a big step, especially when you’re used to handling things on your own.
You don’t need to know exactly what you need from therapy before you begin. A consultation is an opportunity to connect, ask questions and see whether working together feels like the right fit.
Whether you’re navigating grief, addiction recovery, relationships, anxiety, a major life transition or simply a growing sense that you want something to change, I’m here to help you explore what comes next.
