So excited to be joining my colleagues at our new space at 107 Pleasant Street as of June 1st ✨

This office already feels safe, calm, and welcoming — and I can’t wait for clients to experience it. So much care and intention went into creating this space, and it truly shows.

Huge appreciation to Breakwater for being incredible to work with throughout this process. Feeling very grateful for this next chapter 🤍

I am incredibly happy to announce that Morehouse Counselling is moving to our new office space on June 1st!

Located at 107 Pleasant St in Newcastle! I am thrilled for my clients to see this space 🌻

This building is the work of our new hallway neighbors and building owners, Breakwater Consulting. They have worked with my colleagues and I to help construct a beautiful, safe and warm counselling office customized for our needs. Their incredible work is shown throughout the entire building.

Stay tuned for more office updates in June 💛

Out of many, one people. 🇯🇲

I recently traveled to Jamaica and learned that this is their motto. A country shaped by different cultures, histories, and identities that chooses, every day, to see itself as one.

And I can’t stop thinking about that.

Because in so many spaces—especially across North America—we’re constantly fed division. Differences are highlighted, amplified, and sometimes weaponized. It’s easy to forget what’s possible when people choose connection over separation.

But here’s this island, small on the map but powerful in perspective, reminding us:
You can come from many places, carry many stories, and still belong to something shared.

Maybe “one people” isn’t just a Jamaican idea.
Maybe it’s a challenge for the rest of us.

What would change if we actually lived like that?

Long story short: do what makes you happy 💕

Confession: I’m not really a “reader.” Never have been. I always wish I was the kind of person who flies through books with a coffee in hand and a cute little bookmark situation… but in reality it usually takes me a while. 😅

That said, I’m setting a small intention for myself to dig into two books that have been on my list for a long time:
• The Body Keeps the Score — all about how trauma lives in our bodies and how healing can happen
• Good Inside — a parenting book that aligns so much with how I think about kids, behaviour, and connection

Part of this is for me, and part of it is because I’m always wanting to bring more knowledge and perspective into the work I do with clients and families.

So if you see me slowly making my way through these… just know I’m trying to live my best “I read books” life over here. 📚

If you’ve read either of them, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Office Space Available! Join a Lovely Community of Counsellors 🤍

We’re a group of six counsellors in individual private practices who will soon be moving into a brand new, purpose-built office space (currently under construction!), and we’re looking for a like-minded practitioner to rent an office in our shared space.

While we work independently (this is not a group practice), we value being part of a warm, respectful, and supportive professional environment. We prioritise good boundaries, confidentiality, and creating a calm, peaceful space for both clients and practitioners.

✨ About the space:
• New build (moving in this summer)
• Thoughtfully designed for therapeutic work
• Welcoming waiting area & shared amenities
• Quiet, professional, client-friendly atmosphere

This would suit a counsellor, psychologist, or allied health professional looking for a beautiful office within a positive and respectful shared setting.

Self-care doesn’t look the same for everyone—and it doesn’t look the same every day. Some days it’s rest, quiet, and saying no; other days it’s movement, connection, or getting things done.
Self-care is about tuning in and giving yourself what you need on the days you need it, without judgment. It’s flexible, personal, and meant to support you where you are—not where you think you “should” be.

After a pretty stressful couple weeks, self care for me looks a lot like getting my favourite latte ☕️

We love seeing new programs and initiatives in the mental health community 👏🏻😍

12/10/2025

A combination of both anxious and avoidant traits, this style often stems from inconsistent or overwhelming early experiences. People may crave closeness but also fear it, leading to mixed signals, emotional intensity, or difficulty trusting.

This style is marked by a strong desire for closeness paired with fear of abandonment. Individuals may seek reassurance, worry about the stability of relationships, or feel heightened sensitivity to changes in connection.
