About Kelly

I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) who works with adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, relationship challenges, people-pleasing, perfectionism, stress and burnout, and major life transitions - things like university or college life, career changes, moving, new relationships, breakups, divorce, parenthood, and family planning.

​

Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed, stressed out, adrift, unseen, unheard, lonely, stuck, frustrated, tired, crispy, or just generally… icky. Maybe you’ve been telling people you’re doing okay when you feel anything BUT okay, or you know you’re hitting a limit and could use some help but have no idea where to start.

​

Whatever has brought you here, hopefully we can come together and start sorting through some of those pieces.

​

What therapy with me is like

​

I try to bring warmth, curiosity, and a genuine interest in understanding what life has been like for you into our work together. You know your life better than I ever could, so I don’t see therapy as me sitting across from you telling you what you should do.

​

The work we do together is collaborative, and I tend to be pretty active in our sessions. I’ll ask questions, share what I’m noticing, and get curious with you when something seems important. You won’t be expected to do all the talking while I sit quietly and nod.

​

I also believe that the working relationship we build together can be an important part of therapy itself. The ways we relate to other people can sometimes show up in the therapy room too. Perhaps it feels hard to disagree with me, tell me something didn't land well, ask for what you need, or trust that there's room for all the different parts of you. When those moments come up, we can get curious about them together. Therapy can be a place not only to talk about relationships, but to experience what it's like to be in one where there is room for honesty, boundaries, vulnerability, and repair.

​

That doesn’t mean every session needs to be serious or intense, either. Therapy can include difficult conversations, but there can also be room for humour, celebrating wins, figuring things out together, or simply acknowledging that being human can be complicated and messy.

​

Looking at the bigger picture

​

Everyone’s story is different, and I’m interested in understanding your experiences and relationships as part of the bigger picture.

​

Together, we can slow things down enough to notice what’s been working, what might have room to change, and any patterns that seem to keep popping up. Sometimes that means making connections between what’s happening now, earlier experiences or relationships, and the patterns that may be showing up in your life today. Other times, it might mean figuring out what you actually need when you’ve spent a long time worrying about what everyone else needs from you.

​

I’m also interested in understanding the ways you’ve learned to cope and get through difficult seasons - even when those strategies may not be working quite as well for you anymore. We don’t need to treat everything about you as something that needs to be “fixed.”

​

My hope is that therapy can be a place where you feel genuinely known, heard, and understood without judgment - and where the relationship we build together can help you find a little more clarity, trust in yourself, and perhaps some different ways of relating to yourself and the people in your life.

​

If something here feels familiar, I’d be happy to connect and see whether working together feels like a good fit.
