Hey, Hi, Hello! My name is Elizabeth, I am Trauma & Spiritually-Informed Therapist. I use elemental wisdom to guide clients on their healing journey.

Hello and welcome! I'm a queer, transmasculine therapist with a background in health and community-based work, as well as in music, writing, and theatre. I draw upon a range of strengths-based and trauma-informed therapy approaches with the intention of increasing my clients' capacity to safely connect to themselves and to move toward ways of living and relating that affirm them in their wholeness. I aim to be an active and supportive presence in the therapy process, and to work in a way that is guided by the political frameworks I value in my everyday life: anti-oppression, harm reduction, and abolition.

Life can bring many challenges, and it takes strength and courage to reach out for help. It is my honour to support and provide a safe and confidential space for you. As we build a collaborative and trusting therapeutic relationship, we will work toward positive transformation and a deeper self-understanding. I have extensive experience working with BIPOC emerging adults (aged 18-30s) with concerns relating to identity discernment, careers, family concerns, relationships, life transitions, depression, and anxiety.

Currently accepting new clients. I am a queer, non-binary, mixed-race, neurodivergent Student Therapist in my last year of a five-year training program at the Gestalt Institute of Toronto. I specialize in working with clients around issues relating to sexuality, sexual orientation, gender identity, body dysphoria, religious trauma, relationships (monogamous/polyamorous), kink, anxiety, depression, existential issues & life transitions. If you've been reluctant to approach a therapist for support fearing that you will be judged or shamed, I can empathize - and I can probably help.

Caitlin likes to work from an integrative approach toward therapy modalities because she believes that every individual’s process is unique, and that treatment should not comply with a one-size-fits-all approach. She believes assessing the cognitive, emotional, somatic, and behavioural aspects of all experiences is important. Caitlin draws from evidence-based treatments like Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Trauma- Informed Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Mindfulness.

My objective is to guide you in tapping into your resilience empowering you to flourish from emotional pain and cultivate a fulfilling life. My lived experience as a second generation Canadian and as a person of colour shapes my practice in supporting Toronto’s diverse communities. I work from a culturally sensitive and anti-oppressive standpoint using an integrated holistic approach focused on both mind and body.

Currently accepting new clients. You will be welcomed into a safe and non-judgemental space where we will collaboratively explore what brings you to therapy and create a flexible plan aligned with your goals. My clinical experience includes working with clients who experience various issues: anxiety, depression, trauma, complex trauma, uncertainty, life transitions, grief/loss, understanding our emotions, identity, inner critic, inner conflict and other stressors. Within a therapeutic relationship we will co-create a space for healing, transformation and growth.

We face overwhelming uncertainty and complexity today, and I believe life is more psychologically challenging than any other time in modern history. We carry by ourselves what was never meant to be carried alone. The pace of our lives & its demands make it harder to tend to our inner life and connect with ourselves, our healing, & our wisdom. Yet tending to our inner life is so important for our well-being, our growth, our psychological flexibility, and our capacities to be resilient and make the most out of our lives.

In the face of trauma, grief, life transitions, and the challenges of frontline healthcare work, my goal is to cultivate a secure and non-judgmental space for us to navigate life's uncertainties together. While these experiences may feel daunting, they also hold the potential for profound transformation with the right guidance and tools. In my practice, I prioritize collaboration, value mutual authenticity, celebrate the full spectrum of your human experience, and encourage honest feedback.

I know it takes a lot of courage to face parts of ourselves that have felt alone, inadequate, ashamed, fearful or overwhelmed unable to imagine a way forward. As a holistic and relational therapist I am passionate about supporting individuals and couples gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the past experiences, traumas, and/or relationships that brought them here. Together, we will foster a space where compassion and vulnerability are possible and you can safely lower your walls, embrace your strengths and fullest self, and ultimately heal with a renewed sense of clarity, confidence, and hope in navigating a path forward.

I view therapy as a creative process. A creative process requires connection, trust, and a sense of humour. I bring over a decade of experience in the arts to my work as a psychotherapist, and have spent my life building supportive spaces where we try things, fail productively, and sometimes reach breakthroughs collaboratively. Together we will investigate the nuances of your story and explore alternate ways of being with your thoughts, feelings, mind and body.
