ABOUT

Meet Maryanne

Like you, I’ve experienced life. Hardship, stress, pain, disappointment. I’ve also experienced joy, success, and second chances. 

I believed that if I worked hard enough, I could gain the recognition I craved. But, even with successes, I ended up falling into the same old patterns in my professional and personal life. I was nagged by self-doubt, always questioning my efforts, always struggling to cover all my bases. I was taking on too much, for all the wrong reasons. 

My personal growth journey started with therapy, and subsequently lead to my career as a counsellor. 

I started my practice in 2002. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) with the CRPO, a certified EMDR practitioner, a certified Gestalt Therapist, and the President of IAAGT (International Association for the Advancement of Gestalt Therapy). 

I hold additional certifications in Narrative Therapy, Brainspotting, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Trauma & Attachment Psychotherapy.

Together, we’ll get clear on what stands in your way, learn new ways to break out of old patterns, and create the life you’ve been yearning for.

Reconnect with yourself. 

I believe…

Your purpose is greater.

I believe that when you eliminate the hustle, you invite the joy. 

Hustle serves you until it doesn’t. Until it creates tunnel vision. Until it starts holding you back from the things you truly desire.  

There is power in self-reflection. Discovering what’s important and what’s not. Finding out what is driving those feelings of priority. Understanding your true purpose. 

STRESS & ANXIETY SHOULDN’T RUN YOUR LIFE

Therapy Services

Leading you to peace and fulfillment when both feel impossible. 

Using Individual Therapy and EMDR Therapy, I work with you to achieve balance, happiness, and contentment. I also host a program, Avoiding Burnout, to help you achieve a life of balance and joy. 

I understand the drive for success. I relate deeply to the need for more. I also empathize with a life of overwhelm becoming the norm. 

I want joy for you. And I know you do too!
