Meet Stephanie
Helping children, teens, couples, and families feel heard, understood, and less alone.
​
I'm Stephanie, a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist who works with children, teens, couples, and families.
​
Over the years, I've supported people through anxiety, trauma, family conflict, relationship challenges, court involvement, and many of life's more complicated situations. Whether I'm working with a child struggling with big emotions, a teen who feels stuck, a couple navigating disconnection or rebuilding trust, or a family trying to reconnect, my goal is to help make sense of what's happening and identify realistic ways forward.
​
My approach is practical, structured, and grounded in real life. I believe therapy should feel supportive, but also useful. Clients often tell me they appreciate having a clear plan, practical guidance, and a space where they can talk openly without judgment.
​
I know reaching out can feel difficult. My goal is to create a space where children, teens, parents, couples, and families feel comfortable being themselves while working toward meaningful change.
My Experience
For more than 13 years, I have supported children, teens, couples, and families through a wide range of challenges. My experience spans community mental health, crisis intervention, child welfare, justice-related settings, and private practice.
​
I have worked with people navigating anxiety, trauma, behavioural challenges, family conflict, relationship difficulties, separation, reunification, and court involvement. Over the years, I have learned that no two situations are exactly alike. Before deciding what needs to change, I believe it's important to understand the people involved, the relationships around them, and the experiences that have shaped where they are today.
​
Today, I focus primarily on working with children, teens, couples, and families, helping them better understand themselves and one another, strengthen relationships, and move toward meaningful change.
My Qualifications
I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and a Bachelor of Social Work degree, and I am currently completing a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology.
​
I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers and am authorized to provide psychotherapy services in Ontario.

I believe learning should never stop. Ongoing education and professional development help ensure the support I provide remains thoughtful, evidence-informed, and responsive to the needs of the children, teens, adults, couples, and families I work with.
