What if your rock bottom was actually your turning point?
I know what it’s like to feel lost — to live a life that looks fine on the outside, but feels disconnected on the inside. I’ve walked through seasons of deep pain — emotionally, in my sense of purpose, and in the disconnect from who I truly was, and I know how hard it is to find your way back to yourself.
As a therapist and the founder of Renew Counselling & Health Coaching, I support individuals and couples through life’s most challenging chapters — whether that’s trauma, addiction, burnout, grief, eating disorders, identity loss, infidelity, or the impact of toxic and narcissistic relationships.
For couples, our work goes far beyond surface-level solutions. It’s about understanding how old wounds and unmet needs show up in the relationship, and how true healing begins when both partners feel safe enough to be seen, heard, and known. Whether you’re rebuilding after betrayal or trying to reconnect after years of emotional distance, I help couples move from surviving to secure — not just together, but as individuals in their own growth.
My approach is rooted in curiosity, compassion, and the belief that our behaviors are not random — they are messengers. When we slow down and listen to what’s underneath the patterns, real change becomes possible.
This is not about perfection — it’s about coming home to yourself.
Healing doesn’t start when you’ve figured it all out. It starts with a willingness to look within.
And from there, everything can change.
Alongside my work at Renew, I am the voice behind the Worthy & Rewritten podcast (coming this September) and the forthcoming book The Truth About Why You Don’t Feel Good Enough — two powerful resources for those ready to stop living from old wounds and start creating a life that reflects their true worth. Through raw conversations, compassionate insight, and bold truth-telling, I’m here to help you break free from self-doubt, rewrite your internal narrative, and come home to who you really are — in your body, your relationships, your work, and your voice.

“For me the biggest difference between traditional counselling and this amazing journey is the ACTION! Throwing my life into the hands of someone with an ear wasn’t working…cuz there was never a plan of attack to fix anything! With this journey I feel like I have a-whole arsenal of weapons to attack even the biggest anxieties and fears! However I truly believe this works because of me and my drive to kick life’s ass, the program and how it guides you not to fail and of course the ring leader and General”
“Deanna is absolutely a wonderful counselor. She is so good at listening and letting you get things off your chest, I’ve never felt judged and she is so compassionate. She helps you to understand what you are going through and always there for you. She gives great advice and tools to help you get through whatever you need help with. She makes me feel extremely comfortable and has honestly changed my way of life. Highly recommended! Katie Aves”
