I am passionate about empowering people to improve their mental and emotional well-being, specializing in nervous system regulation and healing from anxiety and shame.  What started as a Social Worker who wanted people to have the opportunity to integrate their christian faith with their clinical counselling experience, has now turned into the group practice clinic, Mindjoy Counselling & Training.  I am a public speaker and educator, and am honoured to have a voice that speaks into holistic mental health and wellness for businesses, churches, and para-church organizations.  

Ann-Marie is a Social Worker and Psychotherapist, and the Founder and Clinical Director of Mindjoy.  Ann-Marie worked in community mental health for 16 years, and during that time she provided counseling, case management services, and managed a number of youth and adult mental health programs across central eastern Ontario.  Ann-Marie has a passion to help people receive excellent holistic mental health care – looking at the spirit, soul, and body - and helping people truly heal and recover.  Ann-Marie provides supervision to Mindjoy Therapists and hosts workshops across Ontario to equip people in their mental health.  While Ann-Marie continues to provide psychotherapy, she is no longer accepting new clients.
