“Reaching out for help and guidance shows strength, and I always appreciate clients’ strength as well as their curiosity and willingness to grow. I genuinely wish for all my clients to feel safe, heard, and respected so that the healing work can begin.

My own challenging background allows me to bring meaningful depth and understanding to the counselling setting and your unique obstacles. Working from a solution-focused, narrative, or art therapy perspective, I can help guide you towards what you are seeking. Additionally, I pull from mindfulness, spirituality, and holistic health as appropriate for each individual.”

Embarking on therapy can be an intimidating (and courageous!) step to take as you prioritize your well-being. I strive to understand your world and life’s path through the unique experiences, insights, values, strengths and perspectives that make you who you are. You deserve to be respected, supported, and honoured within the therapeutic process that we create together. I will strive to provide you with a non-judgemental, safe space where you can come as you are, unapologetically. Together, we will work on the issues that are most important to you, at a pace that you define.

HOPE is to want something to happen or to be true. It may be hope and courage that brought you here. I believe that we all have the power and innate wisdom to grow, change, and find the things we HOPE for. I believe that you are the expert on yourself and your relationships.

I am grateful for my own journey through marriage, divorce, and starting over at middle age. My adversity and struggles afforded me the gifts of compassion, accountability, empathy, insight, and hope.

Navigating the changes and transitions in childhood and adolescence can be scary. From physical changes to having different feelings about ourselves and others, this period of time is pivotal in our development and can be confusing to figure out alone. Without guidance and support, we can feel lost. I believe that with the right tools and support, anyone can begin their journey towards an improved quality of life. The goal is to find a safe environment where you can share your emotions and feel heard. My hope is to create a collaborative and culturally informed practice by valuing you as the expert in your own life. I also follow the perspective that the mind and the body are connected, therefore all the changes we make have an impact in our physical health and vice versa.

Sommer McLauchlin

I believe that understanding how our mind and body work to protect us from difficult experiences over the course of the lifespan can help us make sense of ourselves and the world around us. We often equate our experiences to self worth, and may feel stuck in a repetitive loop of stress, anxiety, and feeling misunderstood.

Using a combination of science, evidence-based interventions, humor, and maybe a few too many swear words…(sorry in advance!), my goal is to create a safe, open, and accepting space to support your healing journey.

Life is beautiful and unique, and it can sometimes have its challenges. It is a journey, and as one of my favourite authors, Brene Brown, would say, "The middle is messy, but it is also where the magic happens." I work from a person-centered perspective where you are the expert in your own life, and my goal is to walk alongside your journey as you navigate your path by building a trusting therapeutic relationship and holding a space for you. I do believe that strength and resilience live within each of us. Because of this, I work alongside my clients as they discover and utilize their strengths and work towards the change they want to see.

“I believe that human connection can be an extremely powerful means of healing and I have a deep respect for people who take a chance and trust the therapeutic process.
