Meet Kristy

A Warm, Supportive Space for Healing and Self-Discovery

Beginning therapy can feel both hopeful and vulnerable, and my intention is to offer a space where you can breathe, settle in, and feel fully supported. As a registered psychotherapist, I believe one of the most healing elements of therapy is feeling deeply heard and understood. This space is yours, a place where your emotions, stories, and experiences are met with warmth, gentleness, and genuine care.

I work with individuals (18+) and couples, offering a calm, grounding environment where you can explore what’s happening beneath the surface and connect with your inner resilience at a pace that feels right for you.

Who I Support?

I support clients navigating a wide range of emotional and relational experiences, including:

  • Anxiety and chronic stress

  • ADHD

  • PTSD and trauma, including childhood trauma

  • Depression and low mood

  • Relationship and attachment challenges

  • Burnout and emotional exhaustion

  • Grief and loss

  • Major life transitions

No matter what you’re carrying, or how heavy it feels, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m here to walk alongside you, offering presence, steadiness, and compassionate guidance as you move toward healing and growth.

 

My Professional Background

Before becoming a psychotherapist, I spent several years working in social services, where I offered emotional support, case management, and crisis care for individuals facing complex and often painful situations. My experience includes roles within a local women’s shelter and Ottawa Victim Services, where I had the privilege of supporting people through some of their most vulnerable moments.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, and I am trained in EMDR Therapy, holding memberships with EMDR Canada and EMDRIA.

My educational background includes:

  • Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology (2022)

  • Bachelor of Arts in Psychology (2018)

These experiences have allowed me to connect with individuals from many different backgrounds and life circumstances. They also inform the care, empathy, and grounded presence I bring to every session.

My Mission

Compassionate, Integrative, Person-Centered Care

At the heart of my work is a simple but powerful belief: you already carry the strength you need. Therapy is a place where we gently uncover it together.

I take an integrative, person-centered approach, tailoring each session to your unique needs, pace, and inner wisdom. My focus is on helping you:

  • Process past and present experiences

  • Understand your emotions with more clarity and compassion

  • Explore your relationships and internal patterns

  • Build a deeper, more nurturing connection with yourself

I am committed to creating a therapeutic experience that feels welcoming, warm, and deeply supportive. Our work together will invite personal growth, offer gentle challenges when needed, and hold space for meaningful, lasting change.
