What if your or your partner’s anger is actually a desire for a deeper connection? It’s a paradox that angry reactions push our partners/ family /friends away when what we need is closeness. Hurt or fear could be behind anger. Or perhaps underlying depression, anxiety or trauma. Anger could be expressed harshly, silently or many ways in between; either way it builds walls. Whatever stands in the way of better connections can be uprooted and healed. Negative emotions and walls of anger don’t have to remain. You can overcome them and build the relationships you have longed for.

Hi I'm Katie :) I love journeying with clients through life’s difficulties as they work to reach their counselling goals. I understand clients are often approaching me with some tough life issues and are sacrificing (time, finances, ect.) to pursue counselling. I'm compassionate, attentive and I am hopeful for change. I'm passionate about helping to empower clients to face mental health challenges so they can realize the hope that exists for them to live a full life. I also recognize the need to support, equip and educate family members, friends, and colleagues of those living with difficult mental health and personality issues.

Our landscape has changed. Our capacity for contribution is tied to our capacity to navigate life with confidence. We live in an era of unprecedented stress, pressure and overwhelm. A lack of confidence and increased disconnection is a strong predictor of overall dissatisfaction in life and decreased mental health. People are struggling more than ever, to navigate their life and need real solutions. Most therapy scratches the surface and leaves us frustrated and hopeless. Our method is different. We provide a practical, evidence-based framework to build confidence and connection quickly, and for the long.

One of my specialties is in Maternal Mental Health. Having personally experienced a traumatic birth, it is my passion to support other parents and families who are facing difficulties or trauma related to pre or post-partum experiences.

Additional special interests of mine include supporting those who identify with anxiety, the aging population and/or life transitions, work place issues, and parenting struggles.

With over 10 years of work and volunteer experience with individuals and families , my focus is working with individuals with mental health concerns. Whether you are needing support in navigating the mental health system, creating a care plan for yourself or a loved one, or perhaps requiring one on one support, I am happy to help.

Children are constantly evolving and growing and during their journey they sometimes need some support to encourage and help them to thrive in their relationships and connections with others; or to develop strategies to support emotional regulation, social skills, life skills, anxiety reduction, concentration and focus, or processing of traumatic events. During this time parents are also growing and evolving. Parenting can be both the most challenging and rewarding experience we have but sometimes during those challenging times we need some support.
