Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist ​& Guide
​Virtual Therapy in Ontario 🍁​

---

​Hi, I'm Kristie (she/her). It's lovely to virtually meet you! 👋🏼

As a Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist & Guide with over 17+ years of experience in the field (12+ with an Master in Social Work), I offer you a virtual space to share, process, and grow. Working from a client-centered, trauma informed, and anti-oppressive lens, I greet my clients with authenticity, compassion, non-judgment and from time-to-time a little humour. 😋

In sessions, we'll explore your struggles, strengths, and process distressing emotions. I'll provide guidance and encouragement as we explore patterns and perspectives, practice healthier communication and learn healthier coping skills.

I often work with clients who are overwhelmed with emotions, struggling to manage stress, feeling disconnected or unsatisfied with various aspects of their lives (i.e. relationships, health, career, social life, self-esteem, etc.) and with clients who are trying to heal from past hurts, as well as engage in personal growth. 🌱

I draw on various interventions, theories, experiences and intuition to serve my clients well. That being said, I lean towards a more experiential and self-compassionate approach to therapy, utilizing techniques from Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO).

Working with LGBT2SQ+ folks & allies are my passion, and all genders, sexual orientations, spiritual and cultural backgrounds are welcome! 🌈
