Our Vision
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
~ 2 Corinthians 4:18
At Intimare, this verse anchors how we understand healing.
Much of what brings people to therapy feels immediate, overwhelming, and permanent. Our vision is to help individuals and couples look beyond what feels most visible in the moment toward deeper meaning, lasting change, and hope.
This perspective shapes everything we do.
Why the name “Intimare”?
The name Intimare is inspired by 1 John 4:16 (TPT), which speaks to knowing and living in the intimate love of God.
The root of the word intimate comes from the Latin intimare, meaning “to make familiar, to make known.”
This meaning reflects the heart of the work at Intimare, creating space for love to become familiar rather than distant, known rather than feared.
We have come into an intimate experience with God’s love, and we trust in the love He has for us. God is love, and those who are living in love are living in God, and God lives through them.
~ 1 John 4:16 (TPT)
Love, Not Fear
There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear…
~ 1 John 4:18
Fear often shows up in relationships as disconnection, control, conflict, or emotional withdrawl. At Intimare, our work is grounded in cultivating safety, familiarity, and trust allowing love to replace fear.
Our Heart
We love because He first loved us.
~ 1 John 4:19
Intimare exists to support individuals and couples in building relationships rooted not in fear, but in love that is known, received, and lived out.
Meet Anita
Hi! I’m Anita.
I’m a Registered Social Worker, a relationship enthusiast, and someone who deeply believes that people are worthy of being known, not just managed.
Much of my work has been shaped by sitting with individuals and couples who are trying hard, in their relationships, in their faith, in their personal grown, yet who are still feeling stuck in patterns they can’t quite name. I understand how exhausting that striving can be.
My approach blends clinical training with compassion and discernment. I draw from evidence-based therapies, but I do not lose sight of the person in front of me. Therapy, to me, is not about fixing what is broken. It is about gently restoring what feels misaligned.
When I’m not in the therapy room, I’m often either marrying a couple or traveling. Officiating weddings has given me a unique lens on commitment, love, and the sacredness of covenant, moments filled with hope and promise. Therapy, in many ways, holds the other side of that journey. Both spaces require presence, honesty, and care.
I take a unique approach to my work, recognizing that we are both human in the room. I bring clinical skill and structure, but also warmth and humility. Healing does not happen from a place of hierarchy, it happens in relationship.
Intimare reflects how I see this work: a space where people are known, seen, and gently restore.
It would be an honour to walk alongside you.
