Ammonite Counselling & Wellness
Healing through connection, Growth and Embodiment
Welcome!
At Ammonite Counselling & Wellness, we believe that healing and growth are not linear, but happen in cycles. Inspired by Nanaimo's beautiful falls and the spiral of the ammonite shell, our mission is to provide trauma-informed care that supports people through life’s, cycles, challenges and helping them understand their experiences, build resilience, and move forward with greater strength, balance, and self-connection. We offer a safe, compassionate space where clients can be heard, supported in their past, navigate the present, and grow into the future.

Grief and Loss
Reaching out for support can feel like a big step, and you don’t have to do it alone.I offer a warm, grounded space for individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves. I work with clients navigating anxiety, trauma, and attachment patterns who are looking for deeper, lasting change.
I’m passionate about helping people find or reclaim their voice and feel more fully embodied in who they are.My approach is integrative and mindful, drawing from Integrative Body Psychotherapy (IBP), somatic therapy, CBT, SFT, Mindfulness, Voice/Music integrated therapy, and EMDR.Together, we focus on helping you feel more regulated, connected, and confident in your daily life.
