Maybe you’re struggling with anxiety, relationships, your sense of self, or experiences from your past that continue to affect you today. You may be questioning parts of your identity, trying to change your relationship with substances, or simply looking for a place where you can talk openly and make sense of what you’re going through. Whatever brings you here, you deserve a space where you can show up as you are.

I’m Natalie, a Registered Social Worker with over a decade of experience in frontline, community-based practice across Tkaronto/Toronto. Now based in Montréal, I work with adults, couples, polycules, and families from a wide range of backgrounds, with particular experience supporting queer and trans individuals, as well as people navigating substance use, whether that means exploring harm reduction or rethinking the role substances have in your life. At the heart of my approach is narrative therapy. I believe the stories we carry about ourselves are not fixed. Together, we can explore how your experiences, relationships, and the world around you have shaped the way you see yourself, while making room for new ways of understanding your story. I’m not here to be the expert on your life. My role is to work alongside you with curiosity, warmth, and respect.

I bring a trauma-informed and body-aware lens to our work, drawing from a range of approaches based on your individual needs, including somatic techniques, nervous system regulation, mindfulness and parts work. This can help us pay attention not only to your thoughts and emotions, but also to how your experiences may be showing up in your body. Together, we can build greater awareness of what helps you feel grounded and regulated, while adapting our work to your individual needs and pace.

I support people navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, relationship challenges, self-esteem, identity exploration, substance use, and the impacts of violence or systemic harm.

What matters most to me is trust. We move at your pace and build a relationship where you can feel respected, supported, and comfortable showing up as yourself. From there, we can explore what is no longer working for you and make space for meaningful change.

If you’re ready to get started, you can book a full session. If you’d prefer to connect first, I also offer a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

When life feels overwhelming—whether due to anxiety, low mood, hopelessness, or relationship challenges—I offer a grounded, compassionate space where you can slow down, make sense of your experiences, and begin to see new possibilities. Together, we’ll explore what’s beneath your emotions, beliefs, and behaviours so that change feels meaningful and sustainable.

I bring my own lived experience with mental health into this work, which helps me approach you with deep respect and care. I understand how vulnerable it can feel to ask for help, and I believe healing is possible, even when things feel overwhelming. I also believe every part of you has a story, and we’ll work collaboratively to strengthen emotional regulation, build self-compassion, and create more balanced, connected relationships.

I use a trauma-informed, client-centered approach grounded in harm reduction. I draw from DBT, CBT, parts work, somatic therapy, and mindfulness to help you better understand your inner world while building practical tools for daily life—always at your pace.

I have experience supporting both teens and adults, with a focus on fostering self-awareness, emotional mastery, and personal growth.

Sometimes, what brings us to seek support is not one clearly defined problem; it can be the feeling that something has become increasingly difficult to carry, parts of yourself you lost touch with along the way, an array of difficult experiences, or repeating patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

It can be a lot to process alone which is why I am interested in making sense of these experiences and navigating these challenges together. I see counselling as a collaborative process; you remain the expert in your own life, while my role is to offer a non-judgemental and supportive space, thoughtful questions, practical tools, and resources that can help you understand yourself and these experiences to in turns move toward with what matters to you. Having worked for over 6 years supporting individuals within precarious immigration situations, as well as 3 years of suicide prevention interventions; my approach is grounded in trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and solution-oriented practice. I also draw on narrative approaches, which invite us to look at how our experiences have shaped the way we understand ourselves and our environments.

I believe social work also requires looking beyond the individual. Our well-being is influenced by the environments we live in, the relationships we have, the resources available to us, and the social and cultural expectations we encounter. These contexts are an important part of understanding what you are experiencing, increasing self-agency, and beyond considering what meaningful change might look like by taking action. One step at the time.

If you are considering support and would like to further discuss with me, I offer a free 15-minute consultation to help determine whether working together feels like a good fit.

Sometimes strong emotions and experiences can take hold of our lives in unexpected ways, leaving us feeling destabilized or overwhelmed. Looking for a therapist can feel like yet another task on an already full list. As a psychodynamic, attachment-focused, nervous systems-based, and trauma-informed art therapist, I offer children, teens, and adults a non-judgmental and safe space to explore these emotions. Art making can be used as a way to externalize feelings and experiences in an accessible, symbolic, and contained way, creating space to explore deeper attachment wounds and trauma. In art therapy, the focus is not on the final product but rather on the emotional, imaginative, and expressive process of getting there. Children are naturally action-oriented, playful, and connected to their imaginations; however, as adults, many of us lose access to this sense of playfulness due to the daily challenges of navigating work, relationships, and responsibilities. Art making can be a calming, enjoyable, and creative way to reconnect with our nervous systems, build a stronger connection with our sense of self, and reconnect with our physical bodies—something that can be particularly challenging for those who have experienced trauma.

Maybe you or someone you know is trying to navigate something difficult and unfamiliar. Whether it’s anxiety, stress, relationships problems, or even a difficult life transition, I want therapy to feel like a space where you can be yourself. We can’t stop the waves, but we can learn how to surf. My wish is to help better understand those “waves,” develop tools to navigate them, and build greater confidence in your ability to handle whatever comes your way.

My approach is primarily person-centred, meaning I start with you—your experiences, needs, goals, and pace—and tailor therapy accordingly. I draw from a variety of approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness, to create an eclectic and individualized style of treatment. For me, therapy isn’t about fitting you into a particular modality; it’s about finding what fits you. Whether you’re looking for practical strategies to manage anxiety, a space to process what you’re going through, or support in understanding yourself and your patterns more deeply, we can work together to make way for things to both comfortable and meaningful.

I offer a warm, trauma-informed approach for people navigating relational challenges, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, depression, and low self-worth.

Life has a way of taking us on a wild ride, sometimes inspiring, sometimes exhausting, and often a little bit of both. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just plain worn out by the day-to-day, you’re not alone. I’m here to help you make sense of the mess, using a body-based, creative approach that taps into the strength and wisdom you already carry within you.

I am currently completing my MA in Drama Therapy at Concordia University. I bring a creative, compassionate, and deeply individualized approach to the therapeutic process, understanding that no two people are the same, and that healing should never be one-size-fits-all.

With a rich background in acting, collective creation, and physical theatre, I know that the body holds stories that words sometimes can’t express. I’m passionate about helping people reconnect with those stories — reclaiming their narrative through body-awareness, creativity, and self-expression.

My performance background, combined with my training and deep understanding of personal anxiety, has given me unique insight into emotional expression and regulation. My work is grounded in a trauma-informed perspective that utilizes various approaches, including drama therapy, somatic approaches, parts work, role theory, and awe and gratitude practices.

At the heart of my approach is a belief that therapy can be joyful, even when it’s hard. I see humour as a vital part of the healing process and love helping people discover all perspectives of their experiences. My goal is to help you take ownership of your beautifully imperfect life and move forward with confidence, clarity, care, and the resilience to handle whatever comes next.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to support your teen? You’re not alone. Whether you’re a parent navigating conflict at home or a young person struggling with anxiety, low mood, or intense emotions, therapy can help restore clarity, safety, and connection.

Over the past eight years, I’ve supported children, teens, families, and adults in youth protection, residential centres, and CLSCs. These experiences shape my understanding of how systems, relationships, and life transitions impact mental health.

My approach is warm, steady, and non-judgmental. I tailor each session to the individual or family in front of me, helping clarify goals, explore patterns, and build practical tools for change. I draw from family systems theory, client-centred and strengths-based models, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based counselling to support emotional regulation, self-compassion, and more fulfilling relationships. I also incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help individuals process distressing memories, reduce the impact of trauma, and foster greater resilience and emotional well-being

What I’ve learned over the years is that building trust, especially with teens, takes time, care, and patience. I work with concerns such as self-harm, suicidal ideation, anxiety, depression, and family conflict, and my first priority is always to create a space where teens feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported. When helpful, I involve caregivers to strengthen communication, clarify boundaries, and foster more consistency and connection at home.

I also offer parental coaching for those navigating conflict with their adolescent. Together, we focus on co-regulation, de-escalation, validation, clearer boundaries, and collaborative problem-solving, all with the goal of improving daily dynamics and emotional safety.

If you’re ready to get started, I’d love to help you or a member of your family feel better and more supported. You can book a full session now, or if you’re unsure, I offer a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
