I help clients with anxiety, relationship challenges, depression, grief/loss, stress, and burnout/compassion fatigue. Additionally, I specialize in working with First Responders/Health Professionals and PTSD/Trauma.
I focus on your individual values and helping you discover a meaning-centered life. I believe that therapies and the therapeutic relationship are as unique as the individual, while one style may suit you, it may not suit others. I am mindful of each individual who walks through the door.

Have you ever been to therapy and felt that it was a total waste of time? Have you ever talked to a therapist and felt that they did not get you at all? I have been in your shoes, and I know how it feels. A therapeutic relationship is most effective when you work with a therapist who you feel comfortable with and trust. I offer a practical approach to counseling – something that is simple enough to understand, easy enough to apply right away in your everyday life and give you immediate results. I am so confident that my approach will work for you that I offer you a Money-Back-Guarantee policy. If you are not satisfied with any of your sessions, I will refund your fee (minus the administration fee of $20). My counselling is a full-service approach. I want to take care of you even after our sessions. I want to share something that you can use for the rest of your life. Let me help you utilize new skills, experience happiness, and find exciting ways to enjoy a newfound hope in life.
Some of my specialisations include working with anxiety, perfectionism, teen experiences, relationship challenges and working through the impacts of trauma.
I offer free consults to discuss how I can support you. Book online through our website: www.humanconnectionscounselling.com

Hi, my name is Ada. Maybe this is your first time seeking therapy or maybe you are searching for a better fit. Trying to find someone who is able to help can feel overwhelming, especially with so many options. For 22 years, my passion has been working with individuals who have struggled with old wounds and life's unrelenting hardships.
My speciality is making sense of your life story: the experiences, stuck thoughts, feelings and perhaps, even memories that have contributed to where you are today. Gaining a better understanding of what brought you here will help shape what you need to feel better. Getting the lay of the land of your life story not only helps to understand where you've been, but also where you need to go from here. We can do this by getting to know those wounded parts of self and, finally, giving them a voice to heal. Understanding your life story is most effective in making those desired changes because it is complete – understanding you, from beginning, middle and beyond. I look forward to connecting with you and starting you on your journey of self discovery and healing.
The combination of my past work experience in human services, my 25+ years in private practice, and my life experience, I have learned that every person is unique and faces unique challenges. I have developed a multi modal approach to therapy as I find drawing on techniques from several approaches allows me tailor my sessions to meet the needs of each client, depending on their situation, their values and their needs.
Life is full of challenges and at times such challenges may leave one feeling overwhelmed or stuck and unsure how to move forward. Whether what one is facing is a minor or a major concern, engaging in therapy can be helpful in many ways. Through talk therapy my aim is to gain and understanding of the uniques ness of each individual and to assist them to
manage the stresses they face
recognize there own strengths
bring clarity to their thoughts, emotions and feeling
define their goals
identify and assess possible courses of action
and
move forward with intention

Now Accepting New Clients: So many of us want to make healthier choices, but it can feel so overwhelming to know where to start. We may lean on self-criticism to motivate ourselves, but this only leaves us feeling drained and discouraged. Perhaps you’re feeling lost in navigating a sea of uncomfortable emotions and turn to quick fixes to escape the pain. If you notice that you constantly oscillate between feeling out of control or overly-controlling, this doesn't need to be your destiny. Although you may feel trapped in this cycle of guilt, unworthiness, and self-sabotage, there is hope for a way out.
As your therapist, I can help you to hone in on your unique strengths in order to encourage movement through self-doubt towards self-compassion. I use a holistic approach to help you work towards taking action towards a healthy equilibrium. Our exploration will be guided by gentle curiosity to step into your most authentic self.
I'm here to support you in gaining control over these big emotions instead of having them control you. I'm currently accepting new clients that are ready to begin their transformative wellness journey. Reach out today by sending me an email. I can't wait to get started.

Whether you're overcoming past wounds, battling addictions, or managing anxiety and depression, I offer personalized support and practical tools to foster emotional regulation and long-long-term wellness.
