Welcome to Our Beaches-East York Community
You know that feeling when you take a stroll along the boardwalk with the sound of waves lapping at your feet? There’s something magical about our little slice of paradise here in Beaches-East York. With the sun sparkling off the lake and families laughing at the beach, it’s easy to forget the weight we sometimes carry. But we all have moments when life feels a bit too heavy. Whether it’s the struggles of anxiety, navigating relationships, or the shadows of past trauma, know that you’re not alone.
I’m Carmel, and I’m passionate about providing a safe space where we can unpack those feelings together.

I’m here to help you navigate those transitions, big or small, and find your footing among the beauty of our neighbourhood.
So, let’s grab a coffee and chat about what’s on your mind. It might just be the first step toward feeling like yourself again.
How I Can Help
EMDR Therapy for Trauma
Trauma can cast a long shadow, but you don’t have to walk alone. My EMDR therapy sessions are designed to help you process past experiences in a gentle, supportive environment. Together, we’ll work to unlock those memories and heal the wounds that keep you from living fully. It’s about finding peace and reclaiming your joy, no matter how heavy the past feels.
Anxiety and Stress Management
Life in our bustling Beaches-East York community can sometimes feel overwhelming. Anxiety can creep in when we least expect it. I offer practical tools and compassionate guidance to help you manage stress and anxiety. Together, we’ll explore coping strategies that fit your lifestyle, allowing you to breathe easier and enjoy the little moments by the lake without the weight of worry.
Body Image Support
In a world filled with unrealistic standards, it’s easy to feel lost in your own skin. Many folks here struggle with body image issues, and it’s a journey I know well. In our sessions, we’ll work on building a healthier relationship with your body, embracing its unique beauty. It’s about nurturing self-acceptance and stepping into the world with confidence, ready to embrace what makes you, you.
