About
It All Started When
my marriage was falling apart…
I was full of self-doubt. A single mom, in a dead-end job, facing a messy divorce - and all I could focus on were the mistakes I made in my past.
Where did it all go wrong?
I found myself in therapy for the first time in my life and it really surprised me. My therapist actually listened and understood me. After that, I set aside all of the preconceptions about therapy…you know the ones.
Therapy changed me and now I want to help change others. I returned to school and studied transpersonal psychotherapy, trauma-counselling and grief & loss.
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A CHANGE?
THERAPY WITH A TOUCH OF SOUL
Because I’ve Experienced Challenges…
just like yours
I’ve been through it, and so have you. That’s why you’re here finding a safe space where you can feel heard and seen, without judgment.
I’m here to help you reclaim who you are and transform that fear and shame.
Hi, I’m Pamela
REGISTERED PSYCHOTHERAPIST
Your guide to when life gets tough and throws those really monumental things at you - like the death of a loved one, getting fired, getting a divorce or other big challenges.
I’m a Registered Psychotherapist, specializing in life transitions, emotional health, and grief & loss. I’ve experienced some of the most vulnerable environments in my work - multiple hospice and palliative care organizations providing end of life support for the dying and their grieving families, and front line work with homeless youth.
Today, I couple this clinical experience with my comprehensive training in mindfulness, spiritual care, and depression & anxiety management, to best serve your emotional needs…at any stage of life’s uncertain moments.
“Therapy completely transformed my life and now I want to share that profound experience with others.”
SERVING YOU WITH
A ONE SIZE FITS
only one
APPROACH
Every person has the capacity to make meaningful change in their life. And I believe we each possess our own unique inner resources.
My job is to help you uncover yours.
GET TO KNOW THE REAL ME
Where I stand on the important things
…like what’s considered real music
WHEN I’M NOT AT MY DESK, I’M…
finding stillness in nature, binge watching true crime or road trippin’ to destinations unknown
a walking path, a back road or a cemetery (wait, what? …I’m checking out my future real-estate needs)
MY ESCAPE ROUTE IS…
MY FAVOURITE THING TO WATCH IS…
a good fire (I’m a part-time pyromaniac)
anything from the ‘70s and ‘80s (because it’s actually music)
I LOVE TO LISTEN TO…
MY 5-YEAR PLAN IS TO…
enjoy a slower pace of life, have a hide-out in the woods and learn how to reverse time
READY TO REDISCOVER
YOURSELF
for yourself?
No one knows you better than you.
Let’s not pathologize the human condition.
Let’s embrace your unique self and find solutions together.
