A Note from Mallory

I 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 my 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.
