My name is Deanna and I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor. I am a passionate individual who enjoys learning about new people, their stories and experiences. I am a firm believer that every person deserves to have the necessary strategies in their toolbox to be able to work through strenuous situations.
I primarily work from an EMDR orientation, using a client-centred approach to help people work through the negative connotations they have about themselves from difficult memories/ experiences. The evidenced-based research for EMDR therapy has been primarily focused on trauma in adults, however, it can be beneficial for any aged person, who is able to identify their negative belief in the context of a specific memory and or experience.
I understand that there is no “one size fits all” approach when it comes to therapy, and have therefore educated myself in different modalities to ensure I can help people of all ages, orientations, cultural beliefs and needs. I enjoy using a combined approach with children, using art and play therapy to help build rapport and create a more abstract understanding of a child’s needs.
I strive to create a safe, supportive and open space for all individuals. Taking each and every experience as a learning opportunity by shifting my own mindset to benefit more people.
I hope to collaborate with you or your family members soon!
Outside of the office I enjoy reading, spending time with family, doing arts and crafts, and playing with my pets! Tell me all about your furry or scaled friends!
