about me

Hi, I'm Olivia. I am a Registered Psychotherapist and Canadian Certified Counsellor. I started out with a Bachelor's degree in English Language & Literature - I have a passion for the art of stories and characters: who they are, what they think, why they do what they do and how we relate to them. This led to an interest in child development, attachment theory, personality and social psychology and eventually a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. I didn't want to just research people. I wanted to work with them and in 2017 I graduated with a Master's in Counselling Psychology so I could combine my interest in stories with my love of helping people.

​

I have a small practice in Fonthill, Ontario in the Niagara Region and welcome clients for in-person and/or online sessions.  

My approach is primarily person-centred and trauma-informed and has its roots in emotion-focused, narrative, and attachment-based theories. I don't subscribe to the one-size-fits-all manualized and detached therapy model. I honour and deeply listen to my clients' experiences and emotions. I aim to help people integrate their past with their present and make sense of relationships, stress, trauma and loss.

​

Are you feeling a major shift in your life, a need to understand yourself more or make sense of the past? Are you feeling intense emotions, anxiety or pressure? Are you ready to take the next step and do the work?

​If you are experiencing life transitions, stress, anxiety, depression, boundary-setting and trauma, please reach out.

​

Everyone has a story and I want to hear yours. ​

Please note: I am not accepting new clients until 2026. Please contact me to be added to the waitlist.
