Very kind, knowledgable and holistic. I have had two sessions now with Donna and I have greatly appreciated both sessions, she encourages you to talk, gets to know you, and offers very valuable advice centred to your unique situations in a very non judgemental way.

Working with Donna has been one of the most impactful experiences of my life. From our very first session, she has shown an exceptional level of compassion, professionalism, and understanding. Her approach is both kind and empowering — she challenges me to hold myself accountable while always offering guidance without an ounce of judgment.
Donna’s extensive knowledge of addiction and alcoholism has been invaluable to my recovery. She has helped me gain insight into the root causes of my habits, recognize my patterns, and develop practical tools that have supported my sobriety and overall well-being. Because of her support, I’ve learned how to live a happier, healthier, and sober lifestyle that I truly didn’t think was possible before.
I am endlessly grateful for Donna and the positive impact she’s had on my life. She is an extraordinary counsellor, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have been paired with her through BetterHelp.
