I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to build a meaningful and rewarding life, but sometimes, this can feel out of reach, confusing and even impossible. Regardless of whether you're dealing with ongoing mental health concerns, are feeling disconnected after a stressful life change, or just feel stuck, I'm here to help you start building the future you deserve. As an occupational therapist for over ten years who has specialized in mental health I come to this space from a skills-based approach. I work with diverse families and individuals (adults and teenagers 12-17 years old) in a safe and nonjudgemental space.

Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, and you don’t have to figure it out alone! I aim to create a warm, welcoming space where you can show up exactly as you are — messy days, big feelings, and all — and feel safe, heard, and understood.
My approach is human-centered and collaborative. Rather than a one-size-fits-all plan, we’ll work together to set goals and create a treatment plan that fits you and your life. I focus on building practical tools, increasing self-understanding, and helping you make changes that actually feel doable outside the therapy room.

Specializing in Adults with OCD:
Are you stuck in cycles of intrusive thoughts, urges, or checking? Maybe you redo tasks until they feel “just right,” or spend hours caught up in doubt. OCD can feel overwhelming and isolating, and many people feel embarrassed to share their experiences. You are not alone. I specialize in helping adults with OCD move beyond the cycle of anxiety and compulsions. Together, we’ll work on decreasing intrusions so you can spend more time on what matters most to you. My approach is supportive, non-judgmental, and focused on change.

I may be a good fit for you if you struggle with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, unresolved anger, self-criticism, self-destructive behaviours, or have a history of childhood maltreatment. I believe that shame and self-criticism are at the root of many mental health concerns and self-destructive habits. Often these habits are our best attempts at soothing or numbing the underlying pain. I don’t focus on diagnosis, but rather I invite you to reconnect with emotions that may have been dismissed, ignored, or too painful to allow yourself to feel.

I am a Registered Psychologist & Certified Sensorimotor Psychotherapist / Consultant, specializing in trauma, complex trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, and perinatal mental health. SP is a dynamic, somatic-centered modality that integrates mindful awareness, emotional exploration, nervous system regulation, and interpersonal neurobiology to access the deeper, often unconscious, roots of experience.
Rather than focusing solely on insight or verbal processing, a therapist and client invite the body’s implicit memories and responses into the therapeutic process. In doing so, it supports profound and enduring transformation.

Many of us struggle with self-doubt and inconfidence. It's like we’re carrying around an invisible weight that holds us back from feeling fulfilled in our relationships, work, and personal life. Core misbeliefs, often shaped by early life experiences, have a deep impact on our self-perception, choices, and behaviours. With more self-acceptance and by realizing your own truth, you can move past the walls that are impacting how you feel and think, and proceed with more confidence and compassion. It's a journey, but with each step you get closer to living a life that's true to who you really are.

You’ve done everything “right,” and still, something feels off. You hold it all together — for your family, your work, your world — but inside, you feel tired, disconnected, or quietly overwhelmed. You crave clarity, softness, and space to simply be. At Beautiful Mind, we work with women who are ready to move beyond coping and come back to themselves. Whether you’re grieving, in transition, or just longing to feel like you again — you’re not alone. You’re welcome here.

I believe people desire to grow, and talking with an empathetic, supportive clinician helps them to process thoughts and feelings. This in turn helps clients to gain new insights, perspectives, and understandings, leading to a healthier mental/emotional existence. When individuals get sidetracked by life’s challenges, those challenges need not be faced alone. I am able to work with clients to collaboratively inspire hope and gain skills needed to move forward. Often times, it is "adding a tool to the toolbox" that helps us effectively cope and navigate crisis and personal problems.

I am dedicated to creating a safe, empowering, and nonjudgmental therapeutic space. My goal is to provide a secure base and walk alongside you with a compassionate, culturally-responsive, and non-pathologizing approach that honours your unique strengths and life experiences.
My therapeutic style is person-centred, integrative, and tailored to your individual needs, as there is no one-size-fits-all approach. I draw from various therapeutic modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), humanistic therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), attachment theory, and the Gottman Method for couples.

I support individuals of all ages using a person-centered, strengths-based approach, drawing from CBT, DBT, ACT, SFT, and EFT. With children and teens, I integrate creative, play-based, and art interventions to support emotional regulation, anxiety, ADHD, and more—while collaborating closely with caregivers. I help adults navigate stress, depression, life transitions, and relationships. With families, I focus on improving communication and connection to foster lasting, meaningful change.

H! I'm glad you're here. I'm Whitney, and I'm a Registered Psychologist. I work with adults on a range of concerns. In all my work, I am guided by the following values: honesty, curiosity, and fun. In therapy, this means that I aim to be transparent about what we're doing and why (if you're someone who needs to know the why before you engage in something, I see you); I seek feedback from clients to ensure therapy is meeting their needs and adapt the process when needed. I also take the opportunity to use creativity and humour to enhance therapy.

“A different therapy must be constructed for each client because each has a unique story.” – Irvin D. Yalom. I believe everybody’s story deserves to be heard, and we all have the intrinsic capacity to heal and change. Your presenting concern is as unique as your fingerprint influencing thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Our connections between yesterday and today are roots to be used as foundations to explore new possibilities, personal growth, wisdom and a deeper appreciation of self and others.

You may be navigating the challenges of parenting, managing ADHD, balancing family life, or simply trying to understand yourself and your relationships more deeply. My clients often come to therapy seeking clarity, emotional balance, and healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. They want a space that feels safe, compassionate, and free of judgment—where their experiences are understood and valued.

In a world that’s increasingly automated, performative, and AI driven, I look to create a space, above all else, that’s honest and accepting of the individual and all of their contradictions. While I can understand the value of a “safe space”, space with me prioritizes courage over comfort, as I have witnessed the most growth when all parts of ourselves are approached. My aim is to help clients feel more alive and complete within themselves. I primarily use IFS, somatic, and psychodynamic therapy. I am also trained in EMDR, hypnosis, mindfulness, psychedelic integration, and psychodrama, and suggest and apply these when appropriate.
