Hi! I’m Carolyn, a psychotherapist with a deep commitment to helping people navigate life turning points. Working as a high school teacher for over a decade, I have been lucky enough to work closely in supporting newcomers to Canada, many who were forced to leave their homes in search of a better life. These experiences taught me the importance of building genuine connections, to support difficult, life transitions. I now want to take this passion for helping others to the forefront of my practice.
I have seen through my own experience, and the experience of those close to me, the power that purposeful therapy can have on a person’s wellbeing. Whether you're ready to begin therapy or wanting to book a discovery call, feel free to reach out, you don't have to do this alone.

What Is It Like to Work With Me?

I believe the therapeutic relationship is foundational. I’ll take time to really know you—not just your challenges but your strengths, your goals, and your story. I hope you leave our sessions feeling seen, supported, and more connected to yourself.

What Can You Expect in a Session?

Expect an atmosphere of ease and openness. Together, we’ll shape each session to meet your needs—whether it’s navigating a current struggle or gently stepping into deeper work. I integrate evidence-informed approaches, but our collaboration and your pace guide the work.

Therapeutic Approach

I take a mindfulness-based, integrative, and person-centred approach to support your personal growth and healing. Whether you’re navigating transitions, grief, or looking to explore inner patterns, we’ll work as a team to understand your experiences and promote meaningful change.

• Mindfulness: Encourages present-moment awareness with non-judgement to build emotional tolerance and presence.
• Integrative: Blends multiple evidence-based models to create sessions tailored to your unique needs.
• Person-Centred: Emphasizes empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard to support healing and growth.
