"sometimes i wake up and have to remind myself: "there is nothing wrong with me. i have patterns to unlearn, new behaviours to embody and wounds to heal. but there is nothing wrong with the core of me and who i am. i am unlearning generations of harm and remembering love. it takes time."
Meet Ursula
Mother Daughter Partner Counsellor Healer Friend Learner
I am a teacher that is still learning. A healer that is still healing. A guide on a path, part of which I have walked already. An adult who has learned to re-parent herself: a work in progress. I am a counselor working with managing the fallout from wounds received in infancy, childhood, and the present time. I offer a process to clients in the community that includes gaining both skills and insight so that they can understand and manage the experience of life in order to create a life that is experienced as rewarding, satisfying and meaningful.
As a counselor with over six years of experience in the field, two at an addiction rehabilitation facility, I have worked with a variety of different individuals and groups including all age groups, different cultural backgrounds, ethnicities and sexual identities/genders. I welcome anyone who is seeking more knowledge of themselves and their lives.
The individuals I have worked with range from those experiencing: addiction, conflict in relationships, loss of sense of self, anxiety, depression, transitional life phases, low self-esteem or negative image and self-talk, limiting behaviours and habitual patterns of coping.
My primary interest and objective is to help guide you to experience new, healthier ways of managing and thriving in both your internal
and external worlds.
The collaboration I offer is specifically designed in guiding you through a journey of healing, understanding, and connecting to and expressing your authentic self. The sessions I offer involve a multilayered, intentional process of healing from emotional, physical and spiritual abuse, neglect and trauma. This allows the you to integrate the various (wounded and healthy) parts of your identity into a coherent, congruent self who is able to experience more joy and wellbeing.
