Dating With Dignity 🌿

My goal when working with clients is to help them find a clear path to reducing symptoms and function better on a day-to-day basis. We work together to address the many conditions that coexist with anxiety and depression, while developing a plan of action that meets the goals we establish together. My other training is in abuse, domestic violence, youth, family, community based counselling, addict

ions & recovery and couples. My Mission is to leave people feeling SAFE in everything I do. My Promise to each of my clients and what they need most is:

CLARITY * KNOWLEDGE * COMMITMENT

Clarity is getting clear on the internal triggers and patterns of behaviour

Knowledge when it comes to treatment plans and techniques that have been proven to work when it comes to anxiety & depression. Commitment in showing up and working through the internal process of breaking those patterns and getting to the root cause.

Humour can sometimes say what clinical language cannot. 😄

Truthfully, this little “Anti-Asshole Armor” idea is really about emotional regulation.

Breathing before reacting.Not absorbing everyone else’s stress.Choosing not to mirror negativity.Using humour instead of escalation.Remembering that overwhelmed people often overflow onto others.

Boundaries matter.So does compassion.And sometimes the best self-care strategy is simply:“Do not enter the reciprocal negativity arena today.” ✨

There’s a difference between resting your mind and losing yourself in a blank page.

A blank piece of paper can feel peaceful for a moment… but if it stays blank too long, life starts to feel dull. Brain fog can feel like that sometimes. Like the words are somewhere inside us, but we can’t quite reach them.

That’s why we keep filling the page.

With thoughts.With questions.With creativity.With tears (usually after opening a bill or trying to remember why we walked into the kitchen).With laughter.With anger.With hope.With gardening, music, memories, prayer, movement, conversation, and learning.

Because honestly, if the page stays blank too long, next thing you know you’re standing in the grocery store parking lot wondering:“Did I come here for bananas… or did I already buy bananas yesterday?” 🍌

We are not meant to become empty people with silent minds. We are meant to experience life.

Even a broken pencil can still write again once it’s sharpened.And even a blank page can become beautiful one word at a time.

So if your mind feels foggy lately from stress, menopause, grief, exhaustion, fibromyalgia, or simply carrying too much for too long… be gentle with yourself.

Sometimes the brain just has 47 tabs open, three frozen screens, and mysterious background music playing from somewhere. 😄

The page is still there.And your story is not finished.

I’ve been reflecting deeply while reading The Bird Tattoo by Dunya Mikhail.
Stories like this remind me how quickly life can change for ordinary people when violence and extremism take hold. Beneath the headlines are human beings, families, memories, grief, courage, and survival. Important reading. 🌿

Today I had the opportunity to return to the Telmexwawtexw Healing Centre with the Sts’ailes Nation.

This was my second time there. The first was to honour the life of someone I worked with in the unhoused and addiction community who had passed. Being back in that space again felt meaningful in a different way.

We were invited into teachings of the Medicine Wheel… learning about balance through the directions, the seasons, and the connection between mind, body, spirit, and life. There was so much depth in the teachings, shared with care and wisdom.

We also learned about traditional to***co and made to***co ties, which I was grateful to bring home.

I’m thankful to the City of Abbotsford and Abby Access for creating space for this kind of learning and connection.

A really meaningful day, surrounded by good people and important teachings. 🌿

I’m on a bit of a pause right now.

A sabbatical from counselling this year while I go through cataract surgery…
and also just taking a breath after a season that’s been a lot.

My parents’ health, the ups and downs that come with that…
it’s been heavy at times.
But things are starting to stabilize, and I’m grateful for that.

This space I’m in right now has me reflecting more on my own journey.

There was a time where I was holding everything together on the outside…
but inside, my body was telling a different story.

Anxiety.
Panic attacks.
Moments where I didn’t even recognize myself in how overwhelmed I felt.

I’ve learned a lot since then… not just professionally, but personally.
And I think that’s why this next season feels important.

Because I know I’m not the only one who’s felt this way.

That quiet question of:
Where did I go in all of this?

This is part of why I created Guiding Hearts…
and why something new is forming through the Awakened Revolution.

A space for women in transition.
In between.
Reclaiming parts of themselves they may have set aside.

I’m still in it too.
Just a few steps ahead in some areas… and still learning in others.
And maybe that’s the point.

Tomorrow feels like a return…
not to something new, but to something remembered.

I’m stepping into a space where to***co isn’t just a plant,
but a bridge—
between intention and offering,
between breath and presence,
between what we carry… and what we’re ready to release.

There’s something deeply meaningful about learning to make to***co ties.
Small, simple bundles—yet they hold so much:
gratitude, prayer, acknowledgment, connection.

I’m going with open hands and a curious heart.
Ready to listen. Ready to learn.
Ready to feel what unfolds.

Sometimes the most powerful moments
are the quiet ones…
where we sit, create, and remember
that intention itself is sacred.

And yes… it’s going to be beautiful. 🌿✨ ***coinceremony
