About me
Welcome! I’m Heather, a Registered Psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges.
I am registered with the Ontario College of Registered Psychotherapists (CRPO). I hold a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology, a Diploma in Art Therapy, and a Bachelor’s degree in Education. In addition to providing psychotherapy, I offer clinical training and mentorship to students in psychology, psychotherapy, and social work. I hold a standing appointment as an adjunct instructor in the Counselling Psychology program at Western University and I regularly teach Systemic Practice, specializing in psychotherapy for families, couples, and groups.
I take a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, ensuring that goals align with each individual's needs. I am trained in multiple therapeutic modalities, including:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)
EFT (Emotion-Focused Therapy for individuals, couples, and families)
ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)
CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)
DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy)
CPT (Cognitive Processing Therapy for individuals and couples)
My primary areas of focus are trauma, anxiety, and depression, with extensive experience supporting first responders and individuals recovering from interpersonal violence. Beyond my clinical work, I am dedicated to fostering a sense of belonging and support within the community.
I welcome the opportunity to work with individuals seeking a thoughtful, evidence-based approach to therapy.
