As Men’s Mental Health Month comes to a close, we want every man to know: your mental health matters—and support is here when you’re ready.

Have you ever thought about reaching out for support but felt unsure where to start? It’s very common for men to hesitate because of societal pressures like:
• Fear of being judged or seen as weak
• Belief they should “fix it themselves”
• Therapy not always feeling male-friendly
• Cultural pressure to “man up”

But the truth is, your struggles aren’t weakness—they’re human. In Canada:
• 64% of men report moderate to high stress
• 23% are at risk for moderate to severe depression
• 67% have never accessed mental health support
In addition, many men experience mental health struggles in ways that are easy to overlook — like anger, irritability, withdrawal, communication challenges, and anxiety.
If any of this sounds familiar—you’re not alone. Reaching out is a strength, and support is available and accessible.

Ryan Bell, our male counsellor, offers online sessions tailored to men’s mental health. Whether you’re working through anger, anxiety, communication challenges, or just feeling stuck—Ryan’s here to help.

Reach out - you matter.

This photo is a major throwback - to 2014! But on this International Women’s Day, I thought it was a fitting way to encourage each of us to embrace who we truly are—unapologetically and authentically. Let’s celebrate the beauty in our uniqueness, love ourselves, and lift each other up for what makes us different—and what brings us together. Let’s support each other in being our most genuine selves, today and every day. 💜💪🏻 Happy International Women’s Day!

February is Su***de Prevention Month here in New Brunswick, but the importance of this conversation goes beyond just one month – it’s something we should talk about every day. Your life matters. In moments of darkness when everything feels too heavy to carry, please reach out for support. It’s hard to see in those times, but things can get better. Sometimes we just need someone to help us hang on through the toughest moments. Please, don’t go through it alone – you are worthy of love, support, and a future where life feels lighter. You matter. Always.

We’re one week into the new year! 🗓️ For those of us who find it tough to stick with resolutions but feel inspired to try something new, a great place to start is by committing just a few minutes a day to something that nurtures you. One of my resolutions is journaling for 5-10 minutes each evening—just enough time to process my thoughts and set intentions for the next day. It’s a small but powerful step in prioritizing my well-being. I look forward to this time - just for me - at the end of the busy day to process my thoughts and set my intentions for the next day. These small daily moments can lead to big changes over time. 🌱

Taking care of yourself doesn’t have to be a big overhaul—it can start with just a few minutes a day.

If you’re also thinking about investing in your well-being, whether it’s through self-care or counselling, we’re here for you. Ryan has availability for online appointments, Heather is here to support our youth, and I have spots for new clients starting in February. Please reach out! 🌅

Ventured out for a walk during my family visit to refresh our bodies and minds before we celebrate the end of this year and the start of a new one. As the new year begins, if there are things you want to work on or feel better about—boundaries, relationships, self-esteem, or other issues—I’m here for you, along with Heather and Ryan, to offer you the space and guidance to reflect on the year gone by and all you hope to experience in 2025. Wishing you all a Happy New Year! 🎉🥳

As I enter some time off with rest and relaxation this weekend, I’m reflecting on how hard it can be to quiet the pressure to be “productive” in our non-stop, hustle-driven world—especially during this busy time of year. But what if we reframed productivity? What if the goal is producing a rested body, a peaceful mind, and compassion for ourselves? In that light, rest is productive. It’s okay to listen to what we need and consider honoring that as just as productive as any task. 🌱💆‍♀️💫
I know the holiday season can be a lot - a very difficult time - for many people. My hope is that this season meets you where you are—whether that means rest, connection, comfort, or space—may you find what your heart needs during this time, and know you’re not alone in your journey. 🕊️🤍🌟

As the days get shorter and the holiday season approaches, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. The pressure to meet everyone’s expectations can make it hard to focus on your own needs. If you’re feeling this way, know that you’re not alone.

No matter the time of year, it’s important to remember that it’s okay to ask for help. Our team is here to support you:

✨ Ryan offers compassionate online counselling, perfect for those facing accessibility challenges. ✨ Heather provides a safe space for children and teens to express their worries and feelings. ✨ I offer individual and couples counselling, helping adults navigate life’s challenges together.

You don’t have to face this season alone. If you’re seeking support and a safe space for reflection and growth, reach out! We love what we do and would be honoured to help you through this time. 💛
