Discover the strength that’s already within you.

Something has you feeling stuck.

Life doesn’t have to stay that way.

Does it feel like you have been carrying the effects of trauma for a while now?

It can take a lot of courage to reach out for support when our inner voice might be telling us we do not deserve it. I am glad you are here!

It’s understandable to feel a mix of apprehension and hope as you embark on this journey. You may be here because you are confused and tired of how you respond to your life's stress. Many people I support feel like everything they do is never enough. However, you have been working so hard to keep yourself safe from the trauma you have experienced. I always start with the belief that everything you have done to this point makes sense. You are having normal reactions to abnormal events.

Sometimes we need some extra support to navigate these challenges and find ways to move forward. This journey is not about rushing to the finish line but about gradually uncovering and tending to yourself with compassion and patience. As you move forward, you will not only gain insights and coping strategies but also rediscover your inherent worth and capacity for joy. Remember, every step you take, no matter how small, is a significant move towards reconnecting with yourself and others.


Hi, I’m Margaret, a registered clinical counsellor.

I’m here to compassionately walk alongside you in your journey as we unpack your difficult experiences together.

You do not have to go through this alone. I support people in becoming more compassionate towards themselves, developing skills to manage life’s difficulties, and making sense of their past after experiencing trauma and abuse. We will work together to find the best way forward to meet your unique needs as I draw from several types of therapy, including EMDR to process traumatic memories. Everyone deserves a safe and non-judgemental space to explore difficult experiences and heal from trauma.
