Starting therapy can feel overwhelming. I often hear from clients that they’re unsure if it will help, or they feel like they need to be ten steps ahead of where they are now. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, or simply feeling stuck, it can be hard to see a way forward on your own.

I take a down-to-earth, trauma-informed, and strengths-based approach to therapy. Using evidence-based practices, I work collaboratively with each client to understand their unique experiences, needs, and goals. No two people are the same, and your therapy shouldn’t be either. My goal is to create a space that feels safe, welcoming, and comfortable. I value honesty, warmth, and the power of the therapeutic relationship. Clients describe my style as easygoing and straightforward, which helps them feel at ease while making real progress. Together, we’ll work toward improving your daily life, relationships, and overall sense of well-being.

Client focus: individuals, adults, adolescents 16 + Types of therapy: CBT, Solution focused, grief work, trauma focused approached, somatic therapy, strengths based

Issues: Anxiety, Depression, Self-esteem, grief, trauma, relationship concerns, personal stressors

Do you feel like you are an individual who has tried everything you could for years to navigate the situation you are in, and still feel like you’re not getting anywhere, and it’s possibly even getting worse. Or maybe you’re a couple who has been struggling, and aren’t sure if the couples counselling process is even right for you, so you’ve even considered calling it quits. I’d encourage you to allow me to support you on this healing journey using many research-based methods, as I’m passionate about helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges and equip them with tools to build healthier, more fulfilling lives.

I am the Clinic Owner and Registered Psychotherapist based in Ontario, Canada. I am a member of CRPO as well as CCPA, and earned my Bachelor’s degree in Communications from the University of Windsor, followed by a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University in Virginia. My therapeutic work focuses on helping individual and couples improve their relationships with self and others, using methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment Theory, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Gottman Methods, as well as many other techniques and research- based interventions. I believe in providing a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space for my clients, where we can work together toward lasting change and growth.

Self care is a broad term used today, but not everyone knows what to do or how to make it a reality. Therapy can be an important part of self care because like exercise, your body and mind have the opportunity to grow and be healthy.

With talk therapy, I will use a person-centered collaborative approach that will allow us to address concerns that matter to you in a way that fits your needs. If it matters to you then it’s important to me. My goal is to make sure you experience comfort, feel acceptance and find answers as we work together.

A 20 year teaching career and recent return to graduate school combined to form Stephanie’s current role as a Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying).
