Thinking about separating or going through a divorce? It can feel really overwhelming—and the legal costs can add up fast, especially when your are asking your lawyer questions as things come up.

The good news is that there are free legal resources available that can help you get informed and feel more confident, without paying for every quick question.

I’ve gathered some of these resources on my website—head there to learn more and support yourself through this process. www.journeyforwardcounselling.ca/resources

Hello All!

Just a friendly reminder that this FREE virtual webinar is taking place TODAY, Sunday, December 14th at 1:30 p.m.

It is geared towards separated/divorces parents BUT anyone who has difficulties in setting boundaries with their extended families when it comes to their children--on or off the spectrum (incl Autism & ADHD)--during the holidays may find it beneficial. Especially Danyelle's portion of the webinar. However, I will be going through the Circle of Control, which can apply to anyone in any situation.

If you are interested, you can join the link that is posted on my website:

To protect the privacy of the participants, those joining can use their initials and keep their camera off during the webinar.

To the parent who feels unseen, unheard, or unfairly judged —
please don’t mistake exhaustion for weakness.

You have carried more than anyone realizes.
You’ve stood in courtrooms, therapy offices, and empty homes — still showing up for your kids.

Your love, your fight, your resilience — that IS the story that matters most.

Change is part of growth — and I’m so grateful for the trust and connection we’ve built along the way.
Beginning January 1, 2026, my hourly rate will be $150.
This adjustment reflects continued professional development, clinical supervision, and my commitment to providing the highest quality care possible. 💙

Let Them Fill the Void

Seeing your ex move on fast
can hit harder than you expect —
like everything you shared suddenly meant less.

But rushing into someone new isn’t healing.
It’s distraction —
noise to cover what still hurts.

Let them fill the void if they need to.
You? Let yourself heal.

Because the love meant for you
will never have to compete with your peace. 💛

🔊 Turn the sound on.
I’ve been where you are — uncertain, exhausted, and holding it all together.
There is a way forward, and you don’t have to walk it alone. 💙
