Hi, nice to meet you, I’m Kady (she/her)! I know how hard it can be to find a counsellor so I hope this bio helps you decide if we would be a good fit together. As a counsellor, I approach therapy relationally and collaboratively. This means that I see us as a team; we are in this together. You are the main character and I am the supporting character. In the counselling room, I show up with warmth, humour, compassion and curiosity, making it a space where you can show up with all of the different parts of yourself. It’s a privilege to walk next to my clients throughout their journeys.

My life experience and innate curiosity for learning about humans have led me to pursue a career in nurturing people's strengths and shifting adversity into growth. As a first generation Filipino-Canadian of immigrant parents, I enjoy my work with the BIPOC community and believe there is a tremendous amount of healing that takes place within connection and relationship. I bring several years serving in the mental health field working with children, youth, adults and caregivers. I typically draw from the frameworks of CBT and ACT while integrating other modalities that align with client needs.

I have a passion for helping children, teens, and young adults navigate life's challenges. My approach is rooted in psychodynamic theory, which allows me to delve deep into the unconscious mind to uncover the root causes of emotional distress. However, I also believe that creativity can be a powerful tool in therapy, which is why I incorporate art, play, and other expressive techniques into my work. Additionally, I draw on a range of other therapeutic modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness, to meet the unique needs of each client.

It is common for us as human beings to get to a place in life, where we can feel stuck and unsure of where to go next. It takes courage to take the first step in getting help to seek positive growth and change. If you're finding the idea of seeking help to be hard, just know that this can be normal. Growth and change can be uncomfortable, difficult, and even painful. We often avoid it, sometimes for years. Seeking help to change old patterns, to feel more grounded, and/or to help propel us into our preferred futures can be so important.

People tend to turn to counselling when they feel lost, unsure, or just need someone on their team. They may be seeking a place to feel safe in order to explore and discover who they want to be and what they want to do. It's okay to ask for help or support. Counselling allows a space where you don't have to feel alone.
