Hi, I'm Dana.
Maybe this feels familiar...
I'm a counsellor, a human and a recovering people-pleaser. For over 15 years I have supported individuals to overcome the obstacles that get in the way of living a full and meaningful life.
If you are struggling to show up as yourself in this world, never feeling “good enough,” or feeling stuck, rejected or broken, I'd like to help. Your story, your challenges and your motivations are unique to you. Together, we'll explore what works best, so you can begin making changes that support the life you want to live.
Worrying about what other people think of you
Putting everyone else's needs ahead of your own
Turning to food or other behaviours for comfort
Overthinking conversations and relationships
Feeling stuck, disconnected or not quite good enough
Unsure how to move forward or make lasting change
Areas of Practice
The Emotion Focussed Compass™ and Calm Compass
Emotions are messengers,
not problems to fix.
The Emotion Focused Compass™ helps you understand what your emotions are trying to tell you. The Calm Compass offers a simple, compassionate way to put that understanding into practice.
Awareness • Compassion • Growth
Compassionate Support
We begin with curiosity and care. There is no pressure for you to know what to say or where to begin.
A Tailored Approach
I draw from evidence-informed approaches, including ACT, Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), tailoring our work to your individual needs.
Meaningful Change
We build new ways of responding that feel compassionate, practical and sustainable.
This is not your whole story, this is just a chapter
