A Message From Tanielle:

As none of us are immune to life’s challenges, I am certainly no exception. I truly believe that those of us who have acquired scars and have done our own work are the ones who make some of the most effective helping professionals. As a clinician and an HSP (highly sensitive person) I offer my clients authenticity, empathy, and compassion informed not just by my profession, but also my lived experience. I have not walked your path, but I have walked one that led me to reach out because what I was carrying became too heavy to carry alone. I truly respect the strength within my clients that allows them to show up and be vulnerable - as I came to respect it in myself. The space I offer is genuine, safe, free of judgement, (and at times will likely come with humour); where you will be truly seen and heard. 

I specialize in working with women, and most often work with women who have forgotten who they are, or who have never really had the opportunity to truly connect with themselves. The woman who has given to many others, but forgets herself. The woman who is at a place in life where she’s not sure what she needs, want she wants, or what path to take forward. The woman who wants to heal and move forward, but doesn’t know how. To that woman I can offer a space to explore, guide, challenge, motivate, awaken, and support through her process of self re-discovery. To that woman - I see you.

I am also passionate about helping people find their way back to each other. Helping couples to reconnect when sometimes they have drifted so far, over such a long period of time, is truly wonderful to witness. Couples work is not an easy process, and it requires commitment and for both people to open themselves up and be present in ways that maybe they haven’t been in a long time. It can press on attachment wounds, past hurts, and grief we sometimes aren’t aware exists. But it also allows for tremendous growth, healing, and can have truly beautiful results.

What you are going through right now might feel overwhelming - but you are so much stronger than you think you are. You are here showing up for yourself and making the decision to get the support you need, despite everything you’ve been through. Know that you and your happiness are worth this investment. Things can change - and taking this step is how the process starts.

I’m truly looking forward to walking these steps of your journey with you!
