Hi, I’m Katie!

I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and Intern at Risework Therapy. I hold an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Social Development Studies from the University of Waterloo and am currently a candidate in the Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP) program at Yorkville University.

I’m drawn to therapy because I value the opportunity to support people through the experiences and challenges that shape their lives. I work with adults of all ages, including students and young adults, as well as families and couples. Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, life transitions, grief, or struggles with self-esteem, my hope is to create a space where you can slow down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and feel supported as you work toward what matters most to you.

I take an eclectic, evidence-informed approach to therapy, drawing from elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT),  Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, and positive psychology. I believe that therapy should be flexible and responsive to the person sitting in front of me. I also believe that each person brings their own unique strengths, experiences, and resilience, and that these can be important sources of support. My goal is to help you build on your strengths, explore what feels most helpful for you, and develop new ways of navigating challenges.

My journey at Risework Therapy began a few years ago as an Office Administrator & Intake Coordinator. In that role, I have had the opportunity to connect with clients and see firsthand the importance of compassionate and accessible care. I’m excited to continue this journey as an Intern Psychotherapist at a practice that I’ve come to love so much, and I feel incredibly fortunate to work and learn alongside our wonderful team here at Risework.

Beginning therapy can be a meaningful step, whether you’re working through something difficult or simply looking for a better understanding of yourself and your relationships. I’d be happy to meet you wherever you are in your journey and support you along the way. I’m looking forward to connecting with you!
