A range of emotions and life experiences can encourage us to seek therapy. You may be feeling stressed, anxious, lost, grieving, struggling with substance dependence, or experiencing other uncomfortable emotions. Perhaps you hope to gain more self-awareness. If so, I am honoured to support you earnestly in fulfilling and celebrating your goals.

Hearing people’s life stories is one of the driving forces behind my passion for counselling. I aim to compassionately facilitate the understanding and unravelling of these stories and their patterns in a meaningful way, allowing life to be lived more joyfully. With over six years of experience in various roles supporting neurodivergent individuals diagnosed with ASD, as well as their families, I’ve had the privilege of working with children, youth, and adults. Additionally, I have a year of experience working with different populations presenting various mental health needs.

My services extend to individual, couple, and family counselling. My approach to therapy is to create a safe and comfortable space for clients to express themselves freely. I strive to make this space genuine and down-to-earth, considering each client’s unique preferences and cultural backgrounds. I approach therapeutic work with humility and respect for individuals’ inherent wisdom and agency.

My goal is to help individuals feel safe enough within themselves and their environments to be their true selves. The following quote by Maryam Hasnaa encapsulates my outlook on therapy: “A healer does not heal you. A healer is someone who holds space for you while you awaken your inner healer so that you may heal yourself”. I view psychotherapy as a powerful tool for helping individuals better understand themselves and their world, navigate transitions, shed unhelpful patterns, and move towards a more creative and empowered state.

My practice is person-centred and trauma-responsive. I prioritize nervous system regulation to cultivate a profound sense of safety at a therapeutic pace. I utilize an integrative therapeutic approach, applying experiential and humanistic modalities while drawing from various other frameworks, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and psychodynamic.

I am a registered psychotherapist and specialize in contemporary relational psychoanalysis, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and brain-based holistic approaches to support your mind, body, and spirit as you journey through life/work transitions, grief, loss, anxiety, trauma (vicarious and moral injury), or depression. Introspection, self-reflection, and the exploration of difficult thoughts or feelings are not easy, but you don’t have to do it alone.  In our work together we can explore the roots of your stress, burn-out, interpersonal struggles, anxiety, or feelings of inadequacy. From the comfort of your home, you can discuss your fears, stressors, and hopes as I holistically guide you toward more psychological balance and well-being. You can live a more authentic, meaningful, and peaceful inner life.

I also provide clinical supervision to interns (I am a Yorkville approved supervisor), RPQs, RPs, and Independent Practitioners from all mental health professions (MACP, MEd, SW, MD, RN, OT etc). As an educator in psychology and psychotherapy for more than 20 years, a clinician since 2005, and a clinical supervisor since 2017, I strongly believe that the foundation of providing effective counselling for clients is based on a therapist’s ability to stay true to themselves and create strong therapeutic relationships. This is most often done while staying in the present moment (Stern) with clients. Accordingly, my supervision philosophy emphasizes the therapist’s ability to be with the client while at the same time being with themselves in the clinical setting. Linking theory to practice, while considering the clinician’s emotional reactions in the consulting room, are important to help the supervisee critically reflect on their SEUS (safe and effective use of self). I support therapists as as they journey to create or expand their professional identity.  I emphasize self-reflection, case conceptualization, and skill building but also focus on intentionality when considering specific modalities and/or techniques.

Masters of Arts in Counselling Psychology Registered Psychotherapist - Qualifying | Clinical Traumatologist

Welcome

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but it is also an act of courage and self-compassion. My commitment is to provide a warm, non-judgmental space where you feel safe to explore your experiences, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and build sustainable pathways to wellness. Whether you’re navigating trauma, anxiety, self-esteem challenges, or significant life transitions, my goal is to empower you to live a fulfilling, authentic life aligned with your values.

As a Clinical Traumatologist, I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced both complex and acute trauma. Together, we will work to rebuild a sense of safety, resilience, and personal empowerment by addressing the wounds of the past in a compassionate and empowering way. I also have significant experience in supporting individuals through major life changes, including perinatal and postpartum challenges.

In addition to individual therapy, I offer couples therapy as a Gottman Level 1 and 2 trained clinician. My work with couples focuses on building stronger relationships by improving communication, resolving conflict, and fostering emotional connection. Using evidence-based Gottman Methods, I help couples navigate the unique dynamics that arise during challenging life transitions, including the shift to parenthood.

My therapeutic approach is integrative and tailored to your unique needs. I have extensive training in evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT), and CBT-E for eating disorders, completed through Oxford University. These modalities are complemented by my work with inner child healing and parts work to address childhood trauma. By combining empathy, active listening, and proven therapeutic techniques, I strive to create a collaborative and empowering environment for emotional healing and growth.

I understand how daunting it can feel to open up and seek help. My role is to walk alongside you, providing compassionate guidance, practical tools, and a supportive space where you can embrace vulnerability and thrive. Whether you are looking to process trauma, strengthen your relationships, navigate parenthood, or simply find a sense of balance and purpose, I am here to support you every step of the way.

Specialties

Perinatal and Postpartum:

Motherhood can bring immense joy, but it also comes with challenges that are often minimized or misunderstood. Many individuals feel isolated when their experiences don’t align with the idealized portrayals often seen on social media. I am passionate about supporting individuals through the perinatal and postpartum periods, helping them navigate the complexities of this life stage. Whether you’re experiencing postpartum depression, anxiety, birth trauma, or the identity shifts that come with parenthood, I provide a supportive and validating space to process these challenges and develop tools for emotional well-being.

Eating Disorders:

I support individuals of all ages—including youth, adolescents, and seniors—in addressing eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID, and OSFED. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT, CBT-E, and ACT, I help clients build healthier relationships with food, body image, and self-esteem. By fostering self-compassion and resilience, I provide a supportive space to address underlying challenges and create sustainable paths to emotional well-being.

Hey! I’m Shannon, a counselling psychologist (MA) experienced in individual youth (16+) and adult therapy, as well as partner’s counselling. I specialize in navigating major life changes and self-discovery or re-discovery. I believe that in our lifetimes we change, and, in a way, become different people as we age and process our past traumas and experiences. My therapeutic approach focuses on our different developing “selves” helping you to understand where you came from and discover how to keep evolving and growing. These changes take time but are possible when you have a safe space and person to share your experiences with. My integrative practice incorporates professional training, certification, and ongoing developmental study in Somatic Work (SE), DBT, EMDR, CBT, and Strength-Based, Trauma-Informed therapies. My approach to therapy is rooted in mindfulness, the body’s wisdom, cultivating self-awareness, reflection, acceptance, and, most of all, self-compassion. I practice with a highly skilled virtual team. Being online means we can work within your familiar surroundings, in a setting that feels safe and right for you! Therapy is life-changing for so many (myself included). When you’re ready to explore what you’re capable of and experience closure and reconciliation of your past, feel free to connect with me!
