September is Su***de Prevention Month — a time to bring compassion and practical action into our conversations about mental health. As a clinician I believe: listening without judgment, asking directly about risk, and helping create a plan for safety are some of the most helpful steps we can take.
Common warning signs: withdrawal from friends/family, increased substance use, sudden changes in sleep or appetite, uncontrolled anger, hopelessness, or talking about death. If you hear someone say they’re thinking about su***de, ask them directly, stay with them, remove means if possible, and help connect them to emergency or crisis support.
If someone is in immediate danger call emergency services (911) right away. Confidential crisis supports are available 24/7 — call or text 988 in Canada or the U.S. If you’d like help creating a safety plan, or to process these feelings, my practice is open for new daytime clients (in person, phone or virtual). You are not alone. 🦋

🍂✨ Hello September ✨🍂
A new month always brings a fresh start and an opportunity to reset. September often feels like a “second new year” due to routine shifts, schedule change, and with the transition can come both excitement and overwhelm.
This is a gentle reminder to check in with yourself through out the month. Whether September feels like a whirlwind or a welcome routine, give yourself grace. Small steps toward balance and self-care add up. Wishing you a mindful and grounded start to the month! 🦋💙

One of my teen clients recently completed a writing assignment about an active citizen—and with her permission, she chose to write about me. 🦋💙

As a therapist, it’s not often we get to hear directly how our presence is felt in someone’s healing journey, especially from youth. Her words were powerful, heartfelt, and a reminder of why this work matters so deeply.

It’s an absolute privilege to walk alongside young people as they grow, explore, and find their strength. Thank you to this incredible young soul for trusting me and allowing me to share this moment. *** Shared with her permission ***

🎉 Happy 1 Year Anniversary to Compassionate Connections Counselling Services! 🎉

What a year it has been — filled with growth, healing, happiness, and meaningful success.
As I reflect on this journey, I am filled with gratitude for every incredible client who has trusted me, every kind referral, and every connection made along the way.

This past year has proven that compassion truly does create connection — and I’m so proud of the safe, supportive space we’ve built together.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being part of this chapter. Here's to continued growth, deeper connections, and more lives touched. 💙

Dear fellow therapists,

Being a therapist in times like these means showing up with empathy when your own heart is heavy. It means sitting with someone else's pain while your phone buzzes with headlines that make your stomach drop. It means practicing presence when the world feels anything but grounded.

It's holding space when there's so little space left in the world to breathe. It’s witnessing others' grief, anxiety, and fear—while managing your own. It's guiding others toward hope, healing, and resilience while quietly stitching up your own unraveling edges.

But it’s also an act of resistance. A radical kind of hope. It’s choosing connection in a world that often feels disconnected. It’s helping others find meaning, safety, and strength, even in the chaos.

Therapists are human. And in this season, showing up as human—compassionate, imperfect, real—is more than enough. Be kind to yourself 🦋

Shift your lens… Just because someone appears to have it altogether, doesn’t mean they’re not struggling. Mental health doesn’t always show up in visible ways—smiles can hide battles, and “I’m fine” can mask pain.

Let’s shift our lens: approach others with empathy, not assumptions. Check in on your strong friends. Be kind—you never know what someone is carrying. We are all human. 🦋💙

Happy Social Work Week! Remember to thank the social workers in your life👏⭐️. Shoutout to all my fellow colleague’s out there! Your compassion, dedication, and tireless efforts to make the world a better place don’t go unnoticed. Thank you for all that you do every day to support and uplift those in need. You truly make a difference!

This year’s theme, “Wherever you are, so are we”, beautifully captures the essence of the social work profession. It highlights not only the availability and versatility of social workers but also their steadfast commitment to meeting individuals wherever they are—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Together, we can make an impact. 🦋💙
