I’m ready to accompany you on your journey, whether you’re having relationship issues, dealing with personal challenges, or looking for the next step.
I work with clients whose fear or worry shows up at the worst possible times. I work with clients who feel like their sinking or stuck because of something that happened in life or low mood. I support couples who are both leaning in, want to stay together, and want to believe their relationship still has hope, as well as couples who are struggling to figure out what their direction is in their relationship.
By establishing a safe and secure environment for my clients to process and reflect on their experiences, I help people form loving connections and improve their relationships with their partner(s) as well as themselves. When someone needs an empathetic ear or a third party to help them figure themselves out, I meet them where they’re at and support them.
I am a Registered Psychotherapist who works primarily from an attachment perspective with individuals and couples and my training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the gold standard of couples therapy, allows me to provide evidence-based interventions to support both individual clients and couples to create lasting change in their lives. This type of therapy is an attachment process (the building of safe connections) between the therapist and the client and between the client and previous and present relationships in individual therapy; and between the therapist and couple in Couples Therapy where your relationship is my client.
If you think we might be a good fit, please reach out to set up an free consultation.
I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (#10899), and a Non-Certified Professional Member of the Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals.
Catherine was introduced to counselling at a young age after she started to struggle with anxiety. She learned the value of providing safe spaces for others to support them in their challenges from the bond she had with her therapist. Fast-forward to Catherine’s teenage and undergraduate years. She decided to pursue therapy as a career because she saw the value of providing safe spaces for others.
Catherine grew up in Hamilton, Ontario. She worked as a nutrition counsellor for several years after graduating from Ryerson University with a Bachelor of Applied Science in Food Science. During this period, she discovered her true passion for guiding her patients to wellness, frequently discussing the mind-body connection. Catherine opted to further her study by enrolling in the Masters of Arts in Counselling Psychology program at Yorkville University.
Catherine has completed her Masters program and is now balancing her role as a psychotherapy associate, with both individual and couple clients, along with her other love…animals! Catherine works in an animal hospital and assists clients and their furry family members during difficult moments of sadness and grief.
When she is not working, you can find her hiking with her pooch, Ahsoka, playing video games, reading a good book, or spending time with family and friends. And, as a new therapist, her free time is filled with self-care and self-compassion!
Catherine sees clients who are looking for support with grief, depression, self-love and compassion, anxiety, stress management, and relationships. Catherine welcomes clients of all ages and backgrounds to work together to improve their health and wellness. She practices online or by phone to create and maintain a workspace that is accessible throughout Ontario. Catherine is not afraid of trauma or strong emotions. Creating a safe space for clients to feel or process is her goal.
If you think you and Catherine might be a good fit, please reach out to set up an appointment.
Catherine is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (#13670), and a Non-Certified Professional Member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association.
