WELCOMING NEW CLIENTS

SESSIONS AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH AND FRENCH

Hello! My name is Catherine (she/her/elle). I am part of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and I speak French fluently. I recognize my privilege to live on Treaty 1 Territory.

I hold a Master of Education degree in Counselling Psychology and I am a certified member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association.

Private Practice Focus

I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families and work with teens and adults of all ages. I am passionate about supporting people explore their identities and finding their self-acceptance. My lived experience with neurodivergence and chronic pain informs the work that I do with my clients. 

 I support individuals living with many different experiences, including anxiety, depression and mood disorders, neurodivergence, BPD, domestic violence situations, trauma, difficulties with emotional regulation, relationships concerns, coping strategies, attachment styles, interpersonal communication challenges, and more.

As an eclectic therapist, I offer an individually-curated therapeutic approach to ensure each session is tailored to my clients needs. Some of the therapeutic approaches that I use in my work include solution-focused brief therapy, CBT, feminist theory, humanistic therapy, relational therapy, as well as some DBT, ACT and strength-based aspects.

Values in Practice

It is important to me that my clients feel safe, accepted, welcome and understood and I am committed to supporting you in processing whatever you bring into the therapy room. I work from a collaborative, person-centered approach with a focus on goal setting and growth. Authenticity is central to my work, both in how I show up and in how I invite you to show up and I strive to create a space where you can be fully yourself without judgment. I see the people I work with as equals and place strong value on building a genuine, trusting connection, where humour and laughter are always welcome.

More About Me

In my spare time, I enjoy playing several musical instruments and singing, playing video games, and spending time with my cats, partner, and friends. My favourite TV show is Buffy the Vampire Slayer. 

Hours and additional services

I offer in-person and virtual sessions from Monday to Friday. If you would like to work with me, I would be honoured to get to know you and your story.

Salut! En plus des services déjà mentionnés, je peux aussi vous offrir un service en français! Le français est ma langue maternelle, donc je serais heureuse de communiquer avec vous en français si cela est plus convenable pour vous.
