Thank you for being here.
Cedarwoods are strong, soothing, and interconnected. Cedar is also medicinal, resistant to rot, and sacred to many Indigenous communities. The rings of cedarwood are like life stories: cracks in the wood resemble how experiences such as grief impact us. The imprints remain, but we grow around them. Our story continues.
My name is Adair, and I have dedicated the past 8 years to supporting the holistic health of adults and, more recently, children and youth. I specialize in CBT-based therapies; however, I embrace a person-centered approach and integrate emotion-focused strategies into my work. I am experienced in supporting individuals with a multitude of concerns, such as traumatic stress, grief, substance misuse, disordered eating, relationship concerns, anxiety and mood disorders. I mostly work with adults, but my clients range in age from 12 to over 70. I am passionate about providing accessible and effective mental healthcare, and look forward to connecting with you.
