Welcome. I’m Connie.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and you don’t need to have the right words, a clear goal, or even know exactly what you need before you walk through the door. We can figure that out together.

I’m a Registered Psychotherapist and member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), and my approach to therapy is relational at its core. I believe that some of the most meaningful therapeutic work happens when you feel genuinely seen, heard, understood, and safe enough to show up as yourself.

My style is warm, collaborative, curious, and authentically human. Therapy with me isn’t about sitting across from someone who silently analyzes you or expects you to fit neatly into a particular therapeutic model. It’s a conversation and a relationship that we build together. There can be space for difficult emotions and uncomfortable conversations, but also for humour, connection, curiosity, and those moments when things finally begin to make a little more sense.

I believe our relationships and life experiences shape so much of how we understand ourselves and navigate the world. Together, we can become curious about the patterns you’ve developed, where they may have come from, what they once helped you survive or manage, and whether they’re still serving you today. Therapy can also become a place to explore new ways of relating—to yourself and to the people who matter to you.

My professional and personal experiences have particularly shaped my work with parents and families. I have extensive experience supporting mothers experiencing perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, postpartum stress, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and the many identity and relationship changes that can accompany becoming a parent. I have completed additional training through Postpartum Support International and often work from the perspective that supporting a parent also means understanding the family and relationships surrounding them.

As a special-needs parent myself, I also bring lived experience to my work with neurodivergent children, youth, adults, and their families. My background includes serving as a parent mentor with The Children’s Treatment Network and completing additional autism training through Kerry’s Place Autism Services. I understand that navigating autism, ADHD, school systems, advocacy, parenting, relationships, and family life can be complicated—and that sometimes what families need most is a space where they don’t have to explain or defend their experience before receiving support.

There is no single “right” way to do therapy. You are the expert on your own life, and my role is to bring my clinical knowledge, perspective, curiosity, and humanity alongside yours. My work is grounded in relational and person-centred therapy and informed by approaches including Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, psychoeducation, and other evidence-informed interventions. Rather than asking you to fit a particular model, we’ll consider together what is most helpful for you.

And sometimes therapy isn’t about fixing something that’s broken. It can be about understanding yourself differently, navigating a transition, strengthening relationships, finding your voice, learning to trust yourself, making room for grief or uncertainty, or simply having somewhere you don’t have to carry everything alone.

Wherever you’re starting from, you’re welcome to bring that version of yourself into the room.

A little about me outside the therapy room: I value family, connection, humour, and the ordinary moments that make life meaningful. When I’m not working, you’ll often find me spending time with my family, enjoying the outdoors, listening to country music, or escaping to the trailer whenever I get the chance.
