Hello, I’m Adrie-Anne.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know me.
I know it can be hard to reach out for support and open up about the parts of your life that are vulnerable, painful or confusing. It can feel even harder if you've tried before and felt misunderstood or judged.
At the heart what I do is the belief that people deserve to be cared about, seen and heard without judgment. I genuinely want to understand you beyond what you're struggling with: the things that have shaped you, what matters most to you, and what healing looks like for you. I believe healing often begins when someone feels truly seen and accepted.
I am willing to sit with the difficult parts of life with you: the fear, shame, guilt, anxiety, confusion and the parts of yourself you've had to hide just to get through. Not because those things define you, but because they often hold important information about what you have experienced, what you have needed and what you still need now.
One of the greatest privileges of my work is watching someone begin to see themselves differently, reconnect with their worth, gain clarity about who they are and what they have been through, and begin to see a different path forward .
We will make sense of what you have been through while also building practical tools you can use when old patterns, emotions, and stress responses show up in everyday life. For some people, healing includes deeper trauma processing work to help painful experiences feel less stuck and easier to carry.
I’m a Canadian Certified Counsellor, Master Practitioner in Clinical Counselling, and EMDR Therapist with a Master of Counselling degree.
My training includes trauma therapy, EMDR, attachment based approaches, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD. I have also completed specialized training in complex relational trauma, dissociation, and narcissistic abuse recovery (see full list below).
Outside of therapy, I enjoy music, art, reading, writing, travelling, camping, horseback riding, spending time near the ocean, and playing with my dogs.
I value quiet moments, meaningful conversations, creativity, and the simple things that bring joy and connection. I also enjoy a good laugh, a good pizza, and appreciating the little moments that make life meaningful.
I believe each person has worth and value, and that we are all created for deep belonging and connection. For those who would like faith included in therapy, I offer counselling from an accepting Christian perspective (optional).
Choosing a counsellor is an important decision. I hope this gives you a sense of who I am, what I value, and how I work. If you feel we may be a good fit, I would be happy to connect with you for a free 15 minute consultation.
