My view as I struggle to set up wireless printing at the new office. I’m good at a few things. Technology isn’t one of them.

So excited to be welcoming clients into my *new* office space in Crowfoot. I couldn’t have put it together without my boyfriend and one of my best friends who hauled stuff, assembled stuff, and kept me (mostly) calm throughout the move. Tell me: What are the must haves in a counselling space?

I went to a training over the weekend. I came away from it with renewed excitement for this work, lots of ideas for my clients, and a stack of new books.

All of these books dig into questions I run into constantly. Questions around what we call “normal,” how we define mental illness, why therapy works (when it does), and that in-between space where people aren’t in crisis but also aren’t really okay.

Curious what holds up, what feels off, and what’s actually useful.

Stay tuned….

Things my clients say that make me smile…

The foundation of your relationships with other people is our relationship with yourself. These books have shaped the way I show up for myself and for the people I care about.

“It Begins With You” is an honest, (mostly) gentle reminder that the way we love others starts with how we love ourselves.

“Drama Free” gives practical guidance for creating space and boundaries that feel nurturing, not distant.

“Codependent No More” extends a compassionate invitation to step out of old patterns and back into your own life.

Life is complicated. Little glimmers of whimsy and tiny moments of joy are reminders that even in tough times, there is so much good in the world. These little guys make me smile every time I see them. It’s a small thing, but the small things make the days brighter.

Facebook won’t let me share the news, but if you Google “CTV + A Warrior’s Peace” you can watch Chris and I talk about the importance of holistic approaches to healing and our work with First Responders. If you haven’t already, please go check out https://www.awarriorspeace.ca/

I was included in this short clip about A Warrior’s Peace and the amazing work Chris is doing. First responders carry a burden that is unique to the pressures and experiences that come with protecting others. Access to support and holistic treatment is critical for them and their families.

A veteran firefighter who turned to holistic therapies to heal his physical and mental health founded A Warrior's Peace to help others.

You’re going to hear me say this again and again, but that’s because it works. Don’t get stuck thinking about everything you have to do, just do the next thing that gets you closer to where you want to be.

The short version:
I’ll be offering a 30% discount on counselling sessions to teachers, educational assistants, and anyone else working in public schools for the duration of the strike. Spaces are limited, but I want to do what I can to support the mental health of educators, administrators, and support staff during this time. Please reach out with any questions, and feel free to share with the educators in your life.

The long version:
My mom was a teacher. Many of my friends and family members are teachers. I’m a former teacher myself, and I worked as an educational assistant while I was in grad school. I know first-hand the tireless dedication of people in public education.

For the past fourteen years, I’ve entrusted my own children to public school teachers. I still remember during the pandemic when I would have given almost anything to have my kids back in school. I was not built to homeschool four kids! When their dad and I split up, it was their teachers who watched out for them, who comforted them when they were away from us. Over the years, teachers have sent me notes about my kids’ strengths and the qualities they admire in them. They’ve also raised concerns when needed, helping me notice things I might have otherwise missed.

In a society like ours that relies on public services, it’s our responsibility as citizens to hold government accountable. We need to protect the teaching profession so that we continue to have qualified, dedicated educators in schools. Some say that if teachers don’t like their job, they should just find another. I strongly disagree. Imagine schools staffed with underqualified people. What would that mean for our children? What would lowering educational standards do to the long-term success of our kids, our communities, and our economy?

I hear from my own children how crowded their classrooms are, how many kids have diverse needs, and how many classmates require ongoing emotional or mental health support. There are simply too many kids with too many complex needs relying on too few teachers and EAs. This has to change. I want better for my kids and for this province I’ve called home my whole life.

I stand with teachers.
