Kathryn integrates a holistic, systemic approach to therapy, recognizing the impact of relationships with family, friends, and community on one’s identity and thought processes. Her therapeutic practice is informed by evidence-based interventions, including Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, trauma-informed approaches, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). Having recently completed specialized training in Emotion-Focused Therapy, she skillfully helps clients navigate emotional processing and relational issues. Kathryn’s interventions are tailored to each client’s individual goals, needs, and belief systems.

Her work is centered on creating a safe, non-judgmental, and empathetic space for youth, individuals, couples, and families. Kathryn believes that healing and growth are fostered through meaningful connections and that the therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone of effective therapy. She collaborates with clients to explore the barriers they face and empowers them to harness their inner strengths as they move toward their purpose. Kathryn looks forward to partnering with you on your journey to self-awareness, healing, and personal transformation. 

I experienced a number of personal challenges in my life and have face my own mental health struggles as an adolescent and as a young adult. I really know what it feels like to sit on both sides of the therapy room as a client, and now as a psychotherapy intern. Being a client taught me that healing happens through genuine connection, understanding and feeling safe to talk openly about my inner world. This experience shaped the compassionate, curious and collaborative approach I bring to my work today.

I am a psychotherapy student in the Master of Psychology program at Adler Graduate Professional School in Toronto. I have a background in Psychosocial Rehabilitation and Recovery in mental health. Before pursuing my graduate studies, I worked in mental health to support those in crisis and recovery, helping others to navigate some of life’s most challenging moments.

Now as a psychotherapist intern, my interests include attachment, childhood trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression and the lifelong process of self discovery and relational healing. I am drawn to help people uncover the patterns and narratives that influence their emotional world, and to guide them toward growth, resilience and self-compassion. I am also a mother of two, an active school volunteer, and I love to grow flowers and food. I ski, I run and I participate fully in my children’s many adventures. My life is rooted in curiosity, creativity and care for my family, clients and my community.

I am here for you. I look forward to getting to know you, I’m just a few clicks away.
