As a psychotherapist and registered yoga teacher (RYT200), I use a variety of trauma-informed and mindfulness-based approaches in my sessions along with elements from CBT, DBT, EMDR, IFS, and somatic experiencing.
Welcome! I appreciate your courage in seeking support despite feeling apprehensive and overwhelmed. My aim is to cultivate an anti-racist and culturally-informed safe space for you to better understand yourself and address challenges you may be facing relating to anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, and low self-esteem. In using a holistic and client-centered approach, I journey with you as a unique individual with your own unique needs to help you create a more purposeful, connected, and fulfilling life.

My work is grounded in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), inner child work, and somatic practices.
I work with a wide range of people, approaching each person with curiosity, attentiveness, and care through a trauma-informed, attachment-based lens. I recognize how past experiences and relationships shape the present, and I strive to create a space where clients feel emotionally safe, understood, and securely met as they are. Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed by their emotions, disconnected or numb, or unsure of what they feel. Through attuned presence and genuine care, I aim to help clients feel less alone with their pain, gently process difficult experiences, and build greater connection to themselves and others.

Do you find yourself to be very self-critical and worried about what other people think of you? You’re someone who puts yourself second to make sure other people are happy, but still find yourself anxious, feeling burnout, and thinking you're not “good enough”. You may be worried to change because you’re scared your friends and loved ones will stop liking you. But you’re ready to make a change. You’re ready to set boundaries with those around you. You’re ready to stop ruminating on negative thoughts. Most of all, you’re ready to love yourself and embrace your strengths and weaknesses. Sound familiar? I want to help you get there.

Hi, I’m Maddie, a trauma-informed psychotherapist who often works with people feeling stuck in anxiety, overwhelm, relationship patterns, or self-doubt. I believe people are often far more resilient than they realize, and I take a strengths-based approach to help clients recognize and build on their existing capacities. I aim to help my clients reach deeper emotional understanding, learn regulation tools, and make meaningful changes, so they can heal, grow, and live in greater alignment with their values. Essentially, I practice with the belief that clients already have what they need, and that together in therapy we will find it.

For individuals, I commonly use CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy), DBT skills including emotional regulation, distress tolerance), Narrative Therapy, Somatic Therapy and EMDR for trauma.
Life can be challenging. When something throws us for a loop, our usual coping strategies may not be enough and we find ourselves feeling lost, afraid or unsure of what to do & how to manage. If you are experiencing a crisis or major life transition such as job loss, diagnosis of illness or chronic health condition, relationship crises (i.e., infidelity, abuse, separation), psychotherapy and clinical counselling can help you regain your bearings and cultivate novel coping strategies to get you back on your feet. As an EMDR trained therapist, I also offer this valuable therapy for healing from trauma and distressing experiences.

I believe that people are much more understandable when you know their life journey. I believe in the power of human connection and the healing that this connection alone can bring about in therapy. My clients know that I am there rooting for them as they navigate difficult chapters: past, present, and future. This is why I am always honoured and excited to hear someone’s story. Looking at the different layers of your story will help us track where certain patterns and cycles have started. Together, we will work through the parts that need healing. We will move forward with this information to make positive changes in your life.

Feeling anxious, lost, or broken as you try to navigate both your inner world and the chaos around you? Every step can feel overwhelming and doing it alone only makes it harder. If your goals keep you up at night, and that lack of sleep keeps you from chasing those goals, you’re not alone. I see you.
You want to take control, but your brain chemistry has other plans. You find comfort in avoiding people yet miss connection deeply. You’re stuck between two minds: one that craves change, and one that just wants peace. That push and pull can be exhausting.
Let’s change the narrative.
