Hi there,

​

I'm Katie, a registered social worker (OCSWSSW) serving the Windsor-Essex area and clients across Ontario. I am also the founder of the Therapy and Wellness Collective. Recognizing that reaching out to a therapist can feel daunting, my priority is to ensure your comfort throughout this process. To ease any concerns you may have, I invite you to a complimentary ten-minute phone consultation. During this discussion, we can address any inquiries you have about me, my therapeutic approach, and what to expect in our initial session.

​

With a diverse educational background, I bring a holistic understanding to meet your unique needs. Holding a Diploma in Early Childhood Education, a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, and a Master of Social Work, I approach counseling with a comprehensive perspective on factors contributing to your well-being.

Drawing from years of experience supporting children, youth, and adults, I've cultivated expertise in areas such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, self-compassion, workplace stress, self-harm, relationship dynamics, academic pressures, and managing complex health needs.

 

My therapeutic toolkit integrates Psychodynamic, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Strengths-Based, Dialectical-Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques. Moreover, as a certified SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) practitioner, I empower parents to navigate and alleviate their child's or adolescent's anxious behaviors.

 

Central to my practice is the creation of a safe, authentic, and inclusive environment where you can openly explore the challenges causing distress. Together, we'll collaboratively establish goals and develop strategies to offer fresh perspectives and empower you to enact positive changes, fostering a life of fulfillment. I am genuinely invested in my clients' well-being and committed to equipping you with the necessary tools to navigate life's fluctuations.

 

Please feel free to contact me with further inquiries or to arrange a consultation. I'm here to support you on your journey toward a happier, healthier life.
