Hi, I’m Melanie.

I’m a registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist with 10+ years experience. I am here to offer support that may include learning and healing from trauma, identifying your needs and boundaries, stress management, self-exploration or strengthening your authentic self. It is my honour and responsibility to share a space with you that is collaborative and trusting.

I draw from modalities such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and somatic and attachment based theories. I incorporate respectful humour in my practice to help make those first initial steps in treatment slightly less uncomfortable and to level out the therapist to client dynamic.

I hold a Master of Social Work degree from University of Toronto with a specialization in health and mental health, a Bachelor of Social Work degree with a specialization in structural social work from Laurentian University and a Social Service Worker diploma from George Brown College. I am completing a Trauma Certification through Wilfred Laurier.

I look forward to hearing from you.
