By the time they get to counselling, most clients have been struggling with their issues for a while, and are feeling helpless and often hopeless. I specialize in helping clients identify clear goals, and in developing effective treatment plans. I assess the strenghts and areas of concern. This process is helpful because clients have often lost sight of their strenghts and consequently feel discouraged. By identifying client strengths, positive feelings start to return aand symptoms start to lift.

Welcome! My name is Kelsey and I am so happy you landed here. My background as a Behaviour therapist working with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has been a leading factor in branching out into the mental health field. I enjoy working with clients of all ages, but in particular children, youth, and parents. I have experience helping individuals with various challenges including anxiety, depression, stress, impulsivity, focus and attention, trauma and post-traumatic stress, grief, and self-esteem.

You’re doing all the ‘right’ things to feel better but no matter what you do you’re still feeling out of sorts. Trauma leaves us feeling broken, damaged, and disconnected from our true selves. You feel discouraged that you might not be able to get back to living your life the way you want to. You’re anxious and people notice your ‘bad mood’ which makes you feel guilty for not ‘being better’ for those around you. You’re here which means you want to try something different. You CAN do this.

Let's be real, life is hard – let's not make the process of finding a therapist even harder. Whether you are struggling with chronic illness/pain, finding tools to live in a neurotypical world, or just having a tough time navigating life right now, we can work together to create a safe inclusive space for your unique needs.

I believe we all want to feel at peace and live meaningful, purposeful lives. It’s no secret that life is getting more challenging for many people, and some days it can feel like we’re just tackling one problem after another. Life can feel overwhelming when you’re struggling to make ends meet, worried about the future, and unsure of what you want to achieve in this world. Finding purpose in the world and setting and achieving goals might feel impossible.

My therapeutic approach involves holding a safe space for those individuals facing challenging circumstances as they work on self-discovery, personal growth, and change. I use an integrative approach to meet the needs of my clients whether they are looking for coping skills, goal setting, problem-solving or someone to listen to, and provide validation as they process their experiences.

"Telling is transformative. When we let someone know what we have lived through and that person hears us with respect and genuine caring, we begin a process of change essential to healing." (Bass & Davis, Courage to Heal, p.106) Individual or couple consultation can help start the process of healing which can induce confidence and skills to develop or regain Wise Intimate Connections. If conflict resolution is needed to reach your goal, we also provide Family Mediation and are a Member of the Collaborative Law Group of Sudbury. Nos services sont bilingues. We can provide online sessions using "OnCall Health".

Families created through adoption, fostering and donor-assisted reproduction and blended families have unique histories and experiences which differ from families created through birth alone. All have experienced losses and the trauma of broken birth bonds. These experiences can provoke conscious or unconscious feelings such as grief, anger and shame which have significant impacts on self-value, behaviours, relationships and intimacy. If you are a part of such a family, accessing & understanding your experience & grieving your losses, are necessary before personal change and deeper interpersonal connections can be made.
