Hi there,

​

I'm Katie, a registered social worker (OCSWSSW) based in the Windsor-Essex area. I completely understand that the idea of connecting with a therapist can be overwhelming. My goal is to make this process as comfortable as possible for you. Before we decide to work together, I'd like to offer you a free, fifteen-minute conversation. During this chat, we can go over any questions you might have about me, my therapeutic style, and what your first session would look like.

​

I believe that my educational background equips me with a unique perspective to better understand your individual needs. I hold an Early Childhood Education Diploma, a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology degree, and a Master of Social Work degree. These qualifications enable me to approach counseling with a comprehensive understanding of the various aspects that contribute to your well-being.

​

In addition to my education, my entire career has been devoted to providing counselling and support to both children, youth and adults. I have received extensive training and have experience in areas such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, self-compassion, workplace stress, self-harm, relationship changes, academic pressures, and managing complex health needs. My therapeutic approach incorporates various methods, including Psychodynamic, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Strengths-Based, Dialectical-Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness. Additionally, I am a SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) practitioner, which allows me to work directly with parents to help manage and reduce anxious behaviors in their child or adolescent. I have an Early Childhood Education Diploma, Bachelors of Arts Psychology Degree and a Masters of Social Work degree.

​

My main aim is to create a safe, authentic, and welcoming space where you can openly address the challenges causing you stress and pain. Together, we'll collaboratively set goals and explore strategies to provide you with fresh perspectives and the empowerment to make the changes you need to create a life you truly enjoy. I genuinely care about my clients and am dedicated to providing you with the tools to navigate life's inevitable ups and downs.

​

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have more questions or if you'd like to schedule a conversation. I'm here to support you on your journey toward a happier, healthier life.
