Psychotherapy offers a unique opportunity to engage in self and interpersonal exploration and to make meaningful connections in our lives. It is a place where together, we can navigate life’s many challenges and work to develop strength and resilience. I hope to offer a safe and supportive space in which to process, heal, and grow, and work to bring insight, awareness, and self-compassion into the therapy space. Therapy can be a space to discuss any topic, and focuses on accessing and creating resources, exploring emotions, understanding thoughts and behaviours, and aims to support overall growth.

Hi, I'm Kasey. In many aspects of our lives, we may struggle to be our most authentic selves or even understand who we truly are at our core. In my practice, I am dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming environment where you can explore and express your true self without fear of judgment. I recognize that therapy can be a vulnerable and daunting experience, and I am committed to demonstrating the highest level of respect as you share your story and let me into your world. Together, we will safely examine your life experiences, their impact on you today, and embark on a healing journey toward the life and person you aspire to be.

Whether you’re seeking to address persistent, lifelong concerns or the effects of new and unsettling events, psychotherapy can be a helpful tool. It offers the opportunity of establishing a deeper and more meaningful understanding of ourselves and of our personal history, and work toward more fulfilling lives and relationships. For many of us psychotherapy can mean a way out of dark places. Pursuing therapy does not mean we will never be faced with challenging moments, it means that we will show up better equipped to handle adversities and will be able to bring our best selves to the forefront.

I know first hand how becoming a parent changes you. For some, experiences of grief, loss and trauma shape our early parenting journey, and we might feel isolated, afraid, or even ashamed about the thoughts and feelings we are having. Parenting standards today encourage us to sacrifice everything for our children, and to do it all with a smile - so we suffer silently. My own struggles in parenting, including my lived reality of grief and traumatic loss bring me to this work - and allow me to deeply connect with other parents who are craving a place to bring all of their parenting experiences - the joyful, and the excruciating.

Life is full of challenges. We don't always have a choice what challenges we face. But we can choose how we view or overcome these challenges. I believe that we each have our own reserve of resilience waiting to be tapped into. Most of the time we have the strength to face these challenges. Sometimes we reach out to our friends and family for support and that is all we need. At other times, these challenges can overwhelm us and our system of support. We feel alone and helpless. When you are ready for change, let me support you in embracing your challenges and turn them into opportunities to learn something new about yourself.

I have found personal alignment bringing two of my passions together - horses and psychotherapy - to offer Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) in the Waterloo Region. If you are local and interested in learning more, I would be happy to speak with you in a free consultation call to see if EAP would be a good fit for your needs. EAP is collaborative, insightful, largely intuitive, experiential and deeply introspective. Horses are incredibly attuned to nonverbal communication and often likened to a mirror for their ability to recognize and reflect body language, intent, focus, energy, emotions and patterns.

Yes, you can learn better ways to cope with life’s stressful experiences, and yes, it’s even possible to overcome your traumas. Personally, I know what it's like to feel stuck, overwhelmed, burnt out, wanting the support to change but not knowing where to start or who to turn to. Anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, ADHD, PTSD are all manifestations of trauma and are clear signs that it’s time for you to do something about yours. It’s hard to do it on your own though. If you’re tired of trying to figure it out yourself then let me help you. Let's work together to figure out your life, learn better coping, and process your trauma.

Do you want to grow in life? I believe that wisdom and creativity emerge through openness, curiosity, and reflection on your authentic experience. Usually when we experience difficulty in life, we do our best to adapt. We might push away our pain or attempt to mentally escape our situation. This may help in the short term, but our deeper unresolved issues often resurface in confusing or distressing experiences. We can find ourselves in patterns of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or confused. These patterns are not just random occurrences but meaningful signals that something needs more attention.

The clients I serve in my practice are first responders, people of colour, indigenous communities and lgbt2sq identified people. You’ve been in therapy before and although you’ve seen results you aren’t yet at the place you want to be. Feelings of stress, anxiety, stuckness and depression are familiar to you. You’ve been going in circles in your relationships and your career and now you’re ready to dig deeper. Your core beliefs keep pulling you back into old patterns like people pleasing, controlling behaviours, co-dependency, and difficulty prioritizing yourself and identifying your needs.
