I have over twenty-five years of experience as a client-centered therapist working with both adults and adolescents. I have particular expertise in the areas of relationships, workplace stress, anxiety and OCD. My approach is eclectic, drawing upon evidence-based treatments such as CBT, mindfulness, and other strategies for reducing anxiety, improving well-being, and building personal confidence and strength. I see people from age 14 onwards. To make an appointment, please email rather than call me; that way I will be able to get back to you quickly!

Coming from a culture where seeking therapy is often met with hesitation, I deeply understand the courage it takes to ask for help. When I first reached out for support during a difficult time in my life, I discovered the transformative power of being seen and heard in an affirming, validating space. That experience has shaped the heart of my practice.
My hope is to offer you a warm, welcoming environment where all parts of you are invited in—especially the ones that may feel uncertain, overwhelmed, or unheard. Together, we’ll create space to reflect, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and begin the process of healing.

All of us are walking around with some kind of pain, big and small, whether we know it or not. We are all doing our best with what we have, and sometimes it can feel like our best isn’t enough. As your therapist, I am happy to work with you to adapt and grow with your trauma, develop coping skills, and help reroute any that may no longer be serving you, as well as building up your feelings of safety, validation, compassion, and care. I work with clients 16+ who are adapting to live with their trauma, experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, or who want to strengthen their sense of self and self-confidence.

The path to parenthood has not looked like what you expected. Maybe you’re desperate to start your family, but it’s not happening and you’re terrified that parenthood isn’t going to happen for you. Maybe you’ve experienced the devastation of pregnancy loss and are left grieving in isolation, wondering “does this grief even count if it was “just” a miscarriage?”. Or perhaps you want to add to your family, but this time around it just doesn’t seem to be happening. Baby showers are devastating. “Pregnancy” becomes a swear word. Sex is no longer fun, it is simply a method to conceive/means to finally seeing that double pink line…

Change can be tough and constant. Sometimes we adjust with ease but other times we find ourselves feeling stuck. Life can get in the way from where we desire to be. Fear of change can lead us into feeling guarded, hurt or even resentful. Do you feel like you are moving through the motions of life and not actually experiencing your life to the fullest? Ruminating on the “what ifs”? Disconnecting from the present waiting for the other shoe to drop? What if you tapped into the courage within you to lean into these moments? What if I told you that you deserve moments of joy; you deserve to experience the best in your life.

“If I really love my partner I should want to have sex with them…right?”; “There must be something wrong with me or with the relationship if I don’t want to have sex.”; “If they aren’t getting sex from me, they’re going to find it somewhere else…” Do any of these sound familiar? Do you have a running counter of the number of days since the last time you had sex, and every day that passes leads to more and more stress “it’s been too long, I’m going to need to do it soon…”

It takes a lot of courage to decide to seek support. We start where you are and go at a pace that is comfortable for you. I work with feminist and anti-oppressive perspectives. The areas around which I have experience include depression, anxiety, compassion fatigue, trauma, relationship violence, grief, issues around being queer, questioning your sexual orientation and transitioning genders, immigrant and refugee settlement, and culture shock. With clients, I primarily employ the evidence based approaches of Internal Family Systems (IFS) parts work, Brainspotting, Attachment Theory, mindfulness, and Polyvagal Theory.

You know your child best and when your gut feelings tell you that something is going on with your child, it’s time to act on that hunch. My practice is devoted to art and play-based therapies using evidence-based theories and approaches. Clients work at their own pace to creatively explore, understand their own strengths, and implement learned strategies for managing anxiety, stress, school, social concerns, big emotions, grief, gender/orientation and life transitions. I will gently, creatively and compassionately support and nurture your child to overcome their challenges and find their own path to well-being.

I believe in embracing individual differences, listening to your own truth, creating connection and making time to tune in. I believe that people can be empowered to discover their own answers and sometimes even learn to love the questions themselves.
Troubleshooting life's complications, learning to sit comfortably in discomfort and cultivating the ability to tolerate those dark places are all what I hold in high value in my counselling sessions. I create strength based individualized treatment plans in collaboration, highly valuing the knowledge you bring into session about yourself.

This parenthood thing doesn’t feel like what you were expecting. From conception, through pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding and transitioning to parenthood, you are exhausted to a level you didn’t know was possible. Instead of the joy you expected welcoming a new baby (or two!), you’re overcome with sadness or fear. You's leaking, sore, ‘touched out’. Your body doesn’t feel like it belongs to you anymore. You're overwhelmed and this tiny bundle absorbs all your time and attention. You question "how can I be suffering so badly when I was so excited for parenthood?". You feel like you must be missing something, or defective.

You’ve been searching for a couple’s therapist who can accommodate you and your partner’s busy schedules, but it feels impossible. Look no further. Kate offers evening and weekend appointments virtually and in person to suit the needs of high-achieving, busy couples. Are you ready to stop feeling so disconnected from your partner? Maybe you find yourself fantasizing about the way things were in the beginning of the relationship. Maybe you’re just staying together because of the kids. You don’t even recognize the person you are with; or worse, you don’t recognize yourself when you are with them.

Life is amazing—how much we endure and still carry on. Kids grow fast, time flies, coworkers test our patience, and we often give others compassion we deny ourselves. We overload our plates when we really need rest. We crave connection yet miss chances right in front of us. Life is short, but we learn so much along the way, and small steps can create massive change.
