Important Update: I'm Going Virtual! 🌐💬

Starting September 15th, I’ll be transitioning fully to a virtual therapy platform to continue offering care in a way that’s flexible, accessible, and comfortable for you—no matter where you are. Keep watching my FB page, though, as I will be making appearances in GP and announcing when I can offer in-person sessions

➡️ I do have some virtual sessions available before the official start date, so feel free to reach out!

I know virtual therapy can feel different at first, but many clients find it just as effective—and even more convenient—once they give it a try. Whether you’re at home, on a lunch break, or anywhere you feel safe, therapy can come to you.

⏰ I'm also happy to be flexible with scheduling, so if your ideal time is during your lunch hour or outside of standard hours, let’s talk. I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs.

If you have any questions about how virtual sessions work or are unsure about scheduling, just send me a message. I’d love to help you make a smooth transition.

Thanks for your continued trust 💙

🌟 Parenting or supporting a Child living with ADHD? You’re Not Alone.

Raising a neurodiverse child can feel overwhelming at times—and sometimes, like no one else really gets it. 💙 But here’s the truth: you are not alone.

Our ADHD Parent & Carepartner Support Group is a safe, welcoming space to:
✨ Share your story (you never know who needs to hear it!)
✨ Learn from the lived experiences of others walking a similar path
✨ Connect with people who truly understand the ups and downs
✨ Leave feeling seen, supported, and a little less alone

💬 Sometimes the best learning comes from others who have been there, too.
💡 And sometimes your story is the one that brings hope to someone else.

👉 Join us, connect, and grow together with a community that gets it.
Because together—we’re stronger. 💪💙

🌿 Therapist Reflections 🌿

Are you staying in your marriage for the kids?

It’s a decision many parents wrestle with, and I hold deep respect for the weight of that choice. But I gently invite you to consider this:

In my experience, what children need more than anything in this world is happy, healthy parents.

If you’re staying: is the plan to work toward healing, growth, and a more connected partnership? Then i am all for that, in fact contact us REconnect Counselling and we will help you get there!

However, if for whatever reason, that kind of relationship feels out of reach — and you believe you could be happier and healthier outside of it — then it may be worth asking if staying truly serves your children in the long run.

Kids are deeply intuitive. They notice tension, silence, resentment. They also notice peace, warmth, and joy.

You don’t need to have all the answers today — just the courage to ask the right questions. 💬 am I staying for them or am I staying because starting over feels too scary? Whatever questions you’re grappling with we are here to help.

Feeling emotionally disconnected in your relationship? 💔

You’re not alone — many couples come to us saying:

“We just don’t feel heard anymore.”
“It’s like we’re speaking different languages.”
“We love each other… but something’s missing.”

That something is often validation — the skill of truly hearing, seeing, and understanding each other.
Without it, even the strongest love can start to feel distant.
With it? Couples feel safe, emotionally close, and reconnected again. ❤️

Validation isn’t natural for everyone — but it is something you can learn.
Come talk with Shauna or Marie — we help couples rebuild that emotional bond every day.

🧠 Practical tools
🫶 A safe space to talk
❤️ And real hope for connection

👉 Book your session today — and start feeling heard again.

Offering counselling for Couples enhancement, ADHD family support, individual therapy for a variety of issues. Also certified Gottman leader to deliver couples workshops. Servicing Grande Prairie and Beaverlodge AB. Also offering online appointments.

🧠 To my ADHD clients — and those thinking about reaching out:

Let’s get one thing straight:
I don’t approach ADHD like it’s an illness that needs fixing.

Some of us need support — absolutely. And that support can look very different from person to person. But the goal isn’t to make you more “typical.”

It’s to help you understand, accept, and work with your unique brain.

I take a non-pathologizing, affirming approach to ADHD — one that honours your lived experience and focuses on building the kind of life that works for you.

In our work together, that might mean:
✔ Learning how your brain actually works (without shame)
✔ Finding strategies that fit you — not force you to fit in
✔ Asking for the adjustments you need, with confidence
✔ Building self-trust, not self-blame

ADHD isn’t a failure of willpower or a character flaw.
It’s a different way of processing the world — and it deserves curiosity, respect, and support.

If this approach resonates with you, I’d be honoured to walk alongside uou
