A Note From All of Us/
Above the Storm

We believe we are our stories. Stories of pain, suffering, grief and loss, trauma, stress and anxiety—these stories influence who we are. Healing comes when you begin to understand your story and learn to rewrite the chapters that once defined you.

With experience counselling grief, trauma, ADHD, anxiety, and depression, it is our desire to help clients discover their own resilience and find the power they need to write new stories and move forward through the darkest times.

Burdeen Starkey

Life doesn’t always follow the path we expect – and sometimes, we all need support navigating the complexities of life. I’m here to provide a safe, compassionate space where healing, growth, and clarity can unfold.

As a marriage and family therapist, I work collaboratively with individuals, couples, and families to explore life’s challenges, build emotional resilience, and foster meaningful change. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, chronic illness, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can be a powerful step toward living a more connected and fulfilling life.

My approach is grounded, relational, and tailored to your unique needs. Together, we’ll work at a pace that feels right – creating room for insight, healing, and a stronger sense of self.

You’re not alone. Healing starts with a conversation

There are moments in our journey where there is no answer, and perhaps what we really need the most is to be heard. My goal is walk with you and offer care and compassion, during those moments when the storm has hit.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, my aim is to provide a calm and soothing presence through fostering an environment that invites people of all ages including children, teenagers, adults, couples, and families to a place where all can feel safe.

When you come into therapy, you are invited to take the lead, as this is your story to share, my role is to provide a safe place for you to piece and watch it be weaved together.
