Welcome to Refocus the Senses
At Refocus the Senses, we provide compassionate, clinically grounded counselling and supervision services with a strong foundation in Christian values, emotional wellness, and whole-person care. We support individuals, couples, families, and helping professionals navigating anxiety, trauma, burnout, grief, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions, while also offering neurodiversity-affirming support for Autism, ADHD, and AuDHD.
Christian counselling is available for those who wish to integrate faith into the healing process in a safe, respectful, and client-led way. We believe people should never have to choose between sound clinical care and their faith. In addition to counselling services, we offer clinical supervision for counsellors seeking supportive, reflective spaces to grow in confidence, strengthen clinical skills, process complex cases, and thoughtfully integrate faith and practice where desired. Our approach is rooted in compassion, curiosity, nervous system awareness, and meaningful connection—helping people move toward greater clarity, regulation, healing, and restored living. You do not have to navigate this alone.

Treatment Approach
- Behavioral Therapy Uses learning techniques like reinforcement and practice to change unwanted behaviors. It is often applied to phobias, anxiety, and habits.
- Christian Counseling Blends psychological practices with Christian values and scripture. It provides faith-based support for life challenges and spiritual growth.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) Builds skills in self-kindness and compassion toward others. It is especially helpful for people who struggle with shame or self-criticism.
- Developmental Therapy Looks at how childhood and developmental experiences affect current challenges. It aims to repair unmet needs and foster healthy growth.
- Narrative Therapy Encourages people to view problems as separate from themselves and reframe their life story. It helps build resilience and self-identity.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Social Learning Therapy Based on the idea that people learn behaviors by observing others. It applies modeling and reinforcement to encourage healthy change.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
Approach Description: Our approach is client centered and solution focused and always based on the needs of the client and rooted in compassion, curiosity, nervous system awareness, and meaningful connection—helping people move toward greater clarity, regulation, healing, and restored living.

As a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, I provide affirming support to neurodivergent children/youth and their families navigating Autism and ADHD, AuDHD. As a Registered Counseling Supervisor, I offer clinical supervision for individual & group sessions. Faith-Based Counselling available where Faith is never imposed—it is invited. We believe behaviour is communication—not something to control, but something to understand. Together, we create more calm, confidence, and clarity at home and beyond. Online sessions available. Reach out today.
I specialize in supporting neurodivergent individuals with Autism and ADHD. My approach focuses on sensory emotional regulation, anxiety, and burnout, using strategies tailored to each person’s needs. Together, we’ll build tools to manage stress, increase resilience, and restore balance in daily life.
I understand how overwhelming life can feel, especially when you're trying to support a child or teen with Autism or ADHD. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where we work together to reduce anxiety, build emotional regulation, and create more ease and connection at home and in daily life.
