Empowering mental wellness through compassionate Psychotherapy
Hello, I'm Katie.
I am a passionate and dedicated Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with a strong background in nursing and mental health counselling. In completing my Masters of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University, I am committed to helping individuals improve their emotional and psychological well-being.
With a belief in tailoring therapeutic approaches to meet each patient's unique needs, I draw upon a wide range of theoretical frameworks, ensuring that my clients receive a personalized and holistic approach to therapy. My empathetic and non-judgmental nature creates a safe space for individuals to explore their emotions, heal from past traumas, and embrace positive change.
Outside of counselling, I am also an enthusiastic traveller, always seeking new experiences and cultures. Whether exploring new landscapes or immersing myself in different ways of life, I find inspiration in the world's diversity. Regardless of where I find myself, I gravitate towards animals as my love for them is constant. Their presence brings comfort and connection.
I would be honoured to walk alongside you.
Qualifications
I am enthusiastic about my ongoing education and strive to continually improve my skills to provide the best possible care for my clients. My goal as a Registered Psychotherapist is to empower individuals to overcome challenges and discover their inner strength, enabling them to lead fulfilling lives.
Prior to my Masters, I completed my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Ryerson University, where I cultivated a deep understanding of patient care and empathy. Over the past ten years, I have worked in various healthcare settings, including Emergency, Intensive Care, and Outpatient Mental Health. This diverse experience has equipped me with a unique perspective on the complexities of the human mind and the importance of providing compassionate care.
