Are you in a relationship where you find yourself fighting all the time or not able to communicate? I help individuals and couples who are struggling with marital and relationship issues, specifically with communication trouble. I also specialize with pre marital/commitment education.My clients come to see me because they want to talk. They don't want to have issues. But talking with me is a way of managing their issues at the very least. And at the best, it is about solving issues.I would like to support you as we work together to sort it out.

In person or online; I’ve been helping my clients to break through the obstacles that seem to be holding them back in life. Life's too short to be unhappy, unsure, or unfulfilled. I am here to help you achieve a more positive outlook on life, and provide you with all the tools necessary to get you there. Let me help you learn and develop better ways to handle the issues that are standing in the way of your goals. I’m committed to foster a diverse and inclusive environment for children, teenagers, young adults, couples, families, elderly, LGBTQIA + affirming community, people from all cultures and individual spiritual walks of life.

Hi, I am Andressa Taverna. Being a trauma survivor has moulded me and impacted my life in many obvious and also many mysterious ways. Numbing out and dissociating has helped me bear the trauma, but burying it deep and pretending it didn’t exist never really worked. It was only when I started looking at it and inviting my demons to come forward, to speak up, to scream out their rage, that what I saw behind it was pain. Eventually, I saw that they were not demons after all, but my inner child.

12 years in full time practice, 6 years as a peer counselling volunteer. 18 years experience. Since beginning in practice I have logged over 10000+ direct client hours. In that time I have helped a number of individuals, and couples overcome obstacles to their health and well-being.

I work with post-trauma injuries that are accumulated over time. My specialty is treating post-trauma injuries (PTSD) that are accumulated over multiple incidents seen within first responder populations and health care professionals. I also work with survivors of childhood trauma. If you are experiencing flashbacks, nightmares, agoraphobia, hyper-vigilance intrusive thoughts or images I use EMDR to treat these symptoms. I help you get your life back so that you can connect confidently again with your loved one. Sometimes my clients just need a safe place to make sense of what has happened to them. If that's you I am here to listen.

My approach is informed by mindfulness, Buddhist psychology, and contemplative practices. In my work with clients I tend to be open, creative, collaborative and down-to-earth. I specialize in anxiety and relationship issues, often working with individuals and couples who feel lost or trapped in difficult patterns. I believe that within every challenge lies valuable insight waiting to be unearthed. With greater clarity comes the freedom to live authentically and pursue meaningful connections - within oneself, with others, and with life.

I work with people desiring stronger, deeper and more fulfilling relationships with themselves and with other people. If you're struggling to feel well and to live the life you want, you may feel cut off from your core sense of self. You may have faced a rupture in trust, experienced deep loss, or not had the care you needed when you needed it most. You may find yourself locked in unhelpful cycles, caught in upsetting memories from the past, or turning to mindless distractions or harmful comforts. You may long to understand your own inner world more completely, or to engage life in a way that feels congruent with who you are.

Whether you want more out of life, love, your relationship, or all of the above, it is possible! If you're trying to find a better connection, want more intimacy, a better sexual relationship, to heal from an affair, to work out some new relationship agreements with your partner, or generally to find more wellness, presence or fulfilment in your life and relationships, you've come to the right place. Whatever your unique story, if you're looking for guidance through a challenging situation or you're ready to move with intention in a new direction, I'm here to help and to celebrate your progress throughout!

I have been in private counselling practice for 15 years, and in wellness, personal development and the media for 25 years. My practice draws self-referring, high-functioning adults/couples with addiction, phobia, anxiety, depression and attachment disorders affecting their lives beyond their historical, current or perceived ability of self-control. In couples, I usually begin individually to create safety and self-awareness, then back together towards clear self-advocacy, expression and to build trustful communication. EMDR in the couple context can clear a lot of old trauma and wounded pattern-associations that mire us in destructive relational dynamics.

The benefits of my approach lie in using different techniques, tailored to the client's unique personality. Some clients like a directive approach, they want to be guided, to be given an almost 'engineering' model explaining our inner life; some prefer a non-directive, client-centered approach, where they would explore their inner landscape with the therapist as a co-traveler. All clients have relational needs which need to be addressed to, and the therapeutic relationship provides safety, validation, 'repaired' parenting, mutuality, client's self-definition and empowerment. Helping clients practice autonomy is my passion!

At the heart of every life struggle are blind spots and unconscious patterns that play out in our relationships with ourselves and others and in our attitude toward change. I believe that these crossroads offer an opportunity for self-empowerment and growth. With the right tools, strategies and perspective, you will be able to navigate healthy changes and evolve towards your happier and more fulfilling life. You may be feeling confused, stressed, frustrated, anxious, or even ashamed of what's going on for you right now. Whatever it is, I want you to know that you're in a safe space here, and I'm here to help you work through it.

What I hear most in my practise is that people want more meaning in their lives, in their work and in their loving relationships. According to current trends, anxiety and depression is on the rise. According to the Canadian Mood Disorders report 2008, 1 in 5 Canadians will have a mental illness over their lifetime. We may have become too focused on the results and lost sight of the process. The better we feel about ourselves because we are practising great lifestyle habits and relating meaningfully, soulfully, the more in the 'zone' we feel day to day.
