Stephanie is a Counselling Therapist (Provisional) who provides mental health Counselling services for children, youth, and adults. Her undergraduate (BA in Sociology and a diploma in Child and Youth Work) and graduate studies (MA in Counselling Psychology) have provided a strong foundation for her work; however, Stephanie believes that each client brings invaluable wisdom to the therapeutic relationship, recognizing that every person is the expert in their own life. She views the therapeutic relationship as one of mutual learning, where she is continually inspired by the experiences, strengths, and perspectives of the people she works with.
 

Stephanie draws from a variety of therapeutic approaches, including psychodynamic, experiential, cognitive behavioural, and humanistic modalities. When working with children, she is guided by the belief that play is a child's primary language and that children are inherently resourceful in finding ways to cope with their experiences and communicate their emotions. She is currently expanding her expertise through training in Synergetic Play Therapy to further support children using play-based approaches.
 

Stephanie also incorporates creative, art-based interventions into her work with both children and adults. Whether through pottery, painting, or other creative activities, she uses expressive arts to help clients feel grounded, regulate their nervous systems, and safely explore challenging thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
 

Stephanie believes that every person is worthy of being seen, heard, and understood. She views therapy as a space where clients can reconnect with themselves and create meaningful change in ways that are significant to them.
 

Outside of the therapy room, she enjoys spending time with her family, walking with her dog Willow, snowshoeing, baking, and painting.
