About Me

Hi! I’m Annamarie, I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with a Master’s of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. I believe in the profound connections amongst mind, body, and emotions, and I approach wellness holistically—helping clients reset their nervous system, train their brain, move past obstacles, foster emotional connections, cultivate safety, listen to their body, express and explore creatively, and get to know their innermost parts. Using a somatic, solution-focused and mind-body approach, I provide a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their challenges and strengths. Together, we set meaningful goals and envision a hopeful future. I integrate a range of evidence-based techniques, allowing clients to choose the therapeutic style that resonates most with them. My mission is to walk with clients as they uncover resilience, and to help them tap into their primal healing abilities. Outside the Therapy Room Beyond my work, I embrace my introverted, adventurous spirit by camping, hiking, solo-traveling, and surfing. I also find joy in creativity—whether through drawing, singing, or getting lost in the pages of fantasy fiction.
