Hello, I’m Adrie-Anne.
I’m a Canadian Certified Counsellor, Master Practitioner in Clinical Counselling, and EMDR Therapist with a Master of Counselling degree. For more than a decade I have had the privilege of supporting adults as they navigate some of life’s most difficult experiences.
I became a counsellor because I believe every person needs to be truly seen, known, accepted and supported with dignity, compassion, and respect. I believe that behind every struggle there is a story, and that understanding that story is an important part of healing.
I have also experienced what it is like to be on the other side of therapy, searching for understanding and trying to heal from painful experiences. I know how difficult it can feel to be stuck, overwhelmed, or alone with struggles that others cannot see. That experience has shaped the compassion and care I bring into my work and the importance I place on creating a space where people feel understood, supported, and accepted.
I know how vulnerable it can feel to reach out for support, especially if you have spent years feeling misunderstood, dismissed, overwhelmed, or carrying pain that others could not see.
My hope is from the moment we meet, therapy feels like a place where you do not have to pretend you are okay, minimize what you have been through, or carry everything on your own.
My work is focused on helping adults who are navigating trauma, complex trauma, anxiety, painful relationship patterns, emotional neglect, narcissistic abuse, and experiences that have impacted how they see themselves and their relationships.
Many of the people I work with have spent years questioning themselves, feeling stuck in patterns they do not understand, or wondering why certain experiences continue to affect them.
I believe your struggles make sense when we understand the story behind them.
Together, we explore how your experiences have shaped your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and sense of self. Therapy is not about blaming the past or staying stuck there. It is about creating space to heal what has been hurt, understand the ways you have adapted to survive, and build the self-trust, emotional regulation, boundaries, and inner stability that may have been missing.
My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. I believe healing begins when people feel emotionally safe enough to be honest about their experiences without fear of judgment. In therapy, I work alongside my clients to understand their story, recognize their strengths, and develop practical tools that support meaningful and lasting change.
I integrate evidence-based approaches including EMDR for trauma, attachment-focused therapy for relational wounds, parts work, and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD.
I also continue to pursue professional development because I believe my clients deserve care that is thoughtful, current, and grounded in both research and compassion.
What matters most to me is creating a space where people feel seen, understood, and supported as they begin to reconnect with themselves. I feel honored to walk alongside clients as they heal from what has hurt them and move toward a life that feels more authentic and aligned.
I offer an accepting Christian perspective to clients who ask. I welcome the opportunity to incorporate faith, prayer, or spiritual reflection into our work together in a way that is meaningful and supportive. My hope is to provide a space where you can bring your whole story, including your faith, questions, and struggles, while feeling seen, respected, and supported.
Choosing a counsellor is an important decision. I hope this has given 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 honored to connect with you during a complimentary 15-minute consultation.
