Autism and ADHD are widely misunderstood and I can help with understanding, whether you are looking for support for a child or youth, a family seeking parenting guidance or are an adult who needs a safe space to work on your wellness goals. As an AuDHD person myself, I offer a strengths-based approach to learning about our sensory needs and evidence informed practices for dealing with anxiety and depression. I offer support to 2SLGBTQ+ community members and am polyamory supportive. Additionally, I specialize in counselling with those who wish to engage in trauma work for folks who have experienced complex traumas.

Hi, I’m Kate. I help individuals, couples and families to grow, make improvements and overcome challenges in their lives. Getting support can help deepen your understanding of yourself and others in your life. Together we will explore parts of your inner self or relationship, noticing areas that assist you as well as ones that you may want to update or leave behind. I strive to create a space that is warm, genuine and encouraging. I am here to listen, help you reflect, and at times, challenge you to grow. I want your time with me to be effective and I aim to have you leave each session with a new thought, perspective or tool.

Being human is such a messy, complicated, and confusing thing, and we’re not really given any formal guidance on how to deal with emotional and psychological suffering. Pop psychology tries to convince us that positive thinking alone will be enough, or that the answers can be found in the latest trending self-help book, or that we can exercise our way to feeling good all of the time. As a therapist who works with a range of issues including anxiety, OCD, self-worth, life transitions, chronic stress, and religious trauma, I know that things are rarely that simple. I also know, from personal experience, that good therapy can help.

As a child psychotherapist, my approach involves keen observation of a child's play, drawings, words, and behavior. Through this process, I help children verbalize the thoughts and emotions underlying their challenging behaviors. I tailor my methods to each individual child or family, ensuring an age-appropriate approach. Maintaining a neutral and non-directive stance, I create an atmosphere where children and adolescents feel free to express themselves without fear of punishment or rejection. This fosters trust and understanding, allowing them to communicate their hopes and fears ultimately shaping their perception of the world.

We work collaboratively to explore their feelings, beliefs, values and behaviors. My clients seek therapy for a wide variety of reasons including coping with perimenopause/menopause, working through grief and loss issues, dealing with depression or anxiety, family of origin challenges or simply desiring personal growth and greater self-knowledge.

You know how sometimes in life we feel like we should just know how to deal? Well I have extensive experience working with people who have felt that way, and who feel like they are struggling sometimes just to make it through their days. I work with issues that are sometimes too difficult to talk about such as: professional burnout, vicarious trauma/compassion fatigue, caregiver burnout, relationship conflict that impacts personal and professional well-being, even suicidal thoughts. I am able to help to understand, and most importantly, help guide and support change in functioning and behaviour.
