Here, you'll find a compassionate and non-judgmental space where we can explore the deeper aspects of your experiences, emotions, and relationships. My approach is client-centred, meaning that I tailor our sessions to your unique needs and goals. Together, we will work to uncover the patterns and influences from your past that shape your present, helping you gain insight and make meaningful changes. Through this process, you can develop greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and healthier ways of relating to yourself and others, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling and balanced life.

I will help you explore your dynamics, and how your interaction with the world creates your experience. Understanding is the first step in affecting, and as such, we will also create concrete strategies to address the changes you would like to see in yourself, your feelings, and your behaviours. I believe in a phenomenolgical approach to psychotherapy, and I respect the unique backgrounds and perspectives that every client brings to their exploration of self.

Individual emotional, behaviours and social issues can both result from distress in relationships and precipitate distress. Support in addressing individual problems can have a signifiacant positive impact on overall relationship functioning. The fact that relationships are one of our primary coping mechanisms multiplies the potential distress when individual problems are present as it impacts the very mechanisms we use to cope.

Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner. Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns. Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.

I offer a multidisciplinary and relational approach to psychotherapy that includes early attachment work and a sensitivity to intergenerational dynamics and trauma, with a holistic orientation and evidence-based techniques. The role of the body in healing is central to my work, as I draw on many somatic practices. I also work with the arts as a healing modality. On the part of my clients, no experience in the arts is necessary. Whichever therapeutic modality we choose as best suited to your current journey, we work with the fundamental creative drive that is present in all of us to encounter the many facets of your healing pilgrimage necessary for growth and lasting change.

Psychotherapy is delving deeper into who you are--understanding yourself in the context of your history, culture, and what it means to be human. Sometimes we want a quick fix for a problem--such as relaxation techniques or ways to set boundaries--and sometimes we want to look deeper at our patterns. In my work I incorporate existential psychotherapy (for those who are interested), which looks at the big questions in life and how they show up for us--such as meaning, purpose, responsibility, isolation, fear of death and will to live, and how we deal with these.

In therapy with me, you’re stepping into a space where you don’t have to perform or hold anything together. We explore the raw, unfiltered parts of your story—the hurts, hopes, questions, and contradictions—trusting that they all carry wisdom worth hearing. I guide you to reflect deeply on your patterns and choices, helping you make thoughtful changes that align with your values. Clients often leave feeling more centered, more compassionate toward themselves, and more intentional in how they live, equipped to move through life with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Psychotherapy helps clients understand their thoughts and associated feelings. Understanding and identifying issues in our thought processes can reveal what is making us feel anxious, depressed, or a variety of other unwanted feelings. Talking helps clients cope with stressful situations in a safe and manageable way. Anyone who is overwhelmed by their problems and unable to cope can benefit from psychotherapy. Counsellors will help clients learn to identify distressing emotions, express feelings appropriately, and modify their approach to those around them. Overall, the improved levels of confidence provides the means to navigate life challenges in a healthier way.

Annette is a psychotherapist with 25 yrs. experience assessing and counselling adults, youth and families. Annette will work with you to co-create realistic, practical and meaningful change you want to see. She will also provide a safe, warm and caring environment to explore and resolve your concerns. Some of the ways that counselling can be helpful...when someone sees you more clearly and reflects what they see, then you grow to see yourself more clearly. When someone helps you identify ways you keep yourself unintentially stuck, you are more free to change your patterns. Finally, when someone supports you with care and skill, you find the courage to take new steps.

This deeper healing enhances your ability to navigate challenges with greater ease, experience more authentic connections with others, and access an expanded sense of possibility and joy in everyday life.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.
