We have helped individuals, couples, and families heal, grow, and connect. As relational therapists, we appreciate the impact that our relationships have on our well-being. We do not see clients as having something wrong with their minds that necessarily needs to be fixed. Rather, we see our clients as unique individuals, each with their own stories and perspectives, embedded in important relationships and contexts that impact them. We see strengths and we see hope, even when it feels like there is none.

Throughout life, we all encounter challenges - some predictable, others unexpected.

I believe that every client is unique, and I always strive to tailor my approach to meet each individual's experience, goals, and needs.

Hi there, I’m Kate, thanks for visiting! Taking the first step to connect with someone about your struggles can be challenging. I have over 13 years of clinical experience and my approach focuses on strengthening relationships whether that be with yourself, your significant other, your child, or among families. I believe hearing other people’s stories is a privilege and I do so with empathy and non-judgement. My areas of specialization include anxiety, depression, family conflict, parenting challenges, trauma, new parenthood, child and youth mental health, relationship issues, and difficulties with emotion regulation.

I offer culturally sensitive counselling where your voice will be heard, your worth acknowledged, and you'll be encouraged to explore aspects such as your identity, family dynamics, relationships, feelings of sadness, and any experiences of trauma.

I believe that every human deserves to have their story seen, heard, and understood. This can be especially important in our busy world where it can be difficult to take the time to slow down and truly listen. Life can be complex and unpredictable, so I care about providing an inclusive, safe, empathetic, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel comfortable sharing your journey with me. I believe that you are the expert of your own life, and it would be my deepest privilege to walk alongside you while we work together to overcome obstacles and navigate where you would like to go next.

Success in a relationship does not mean there is no conflict, it means that conflict is handled in a respectful manner and individuals feel heard.

I share a common human experience with my clients and appreciate our journeys. Maybe you're considering therapy to connect with someone non-judgmental and outside your personal support system; you're feeling uneasy or worrying about life; you're withdrawing from others and no longer find joy and pleasure; substance use or a habitual behaviour is getting in the way of meaningful relationships and meeting life’s challenges; or you experienced a major event in your life and you're feeling overwhelmed. We will endeavour to understand these challenges and I will support you in taking steps that would benefit you.

With over 7 years of experience in psychotherapy, I offer a safe and comfortable space for you to explore your emotions and gain insight into life patterns that may no longer be serving you. Whether you need therapy to unpack past experiences or work towards future goals, I'm here to accompany you on this journey. Together, we can explore your potential, improve your relationships, and help you live a more authentic life.

I believe that all people harbour significant potential for intimacy and compassion towards themselves and others. Grief, betrayal, trauma, stress, and abuse are becoming part of everyday reality. Without support, they may lead to helplessness, depression, anxiety, addictions, or unhelpful coping strategies that inhibit their true potential. Over the past two decades of my professional career and my training in psychotherapy, I learned that the best path forward comes from within. Healing becomes within reach with the help of a trained professional and confidant who can listen, relate, and gently guide you as you navigate forward.
