Context Matters.

Our surroundings, experiences, and interactions with others all contribute to the formation of our beliefs, values, and perspectives.

If you are:

feeling overwhelmed by challenging thoughts & feelings
struggling to break out of unhelpful or problematic patterns despite your best efforts
struggling in your relationships with your loved ones or;
experiencing past difficulties impacting your day to day life

You might feel there’s something wrong with you.

But the context in which we exist plays a significant role in shaping our thoughts, feelings, behavior, and ultimately, our identity.

You are not defective.

Just as water takes the shape of its container, we, too, adapt and respond to the environment around us.

Experiencing Emotions & Life Challenges are Universal Human Experiences.

You might feel alone in your struggles, and think no one else could possibly understand what you’re going through, but these emotions and challenges are a part of the human experience.

You are not alone, others before you have navigated these challenges, and you can too.

Together we can navigate these common experiences together on a journey towards wellness.

Hi, I’m Kirstin — a Registered Social Worker practicing Psychotherapy.

I created Contextual Wellness because I believe that the key to true transformation lies in understanding the unique contexts that shape our experiences.

As a Social Worker, I’m trained

to meet you where you’re at

So whether:

You’re new to therapy, and want to dip your toe in to test the waters
You have some experience and want some support to wade across the ebbing and flowing of life or;
You feel the call to dive deep beneath the surface to explore and confront the shadows of your inner world

I'm here to support and guide you at whatever depth you're ready to explore on your journey to mental Wellness
