My name is Megan, and I’m a registered psychotherapist ​(qualifying).

I’m passionate about mental health, and I enjoy sharing this passion with clients ​in a safe, empowering, genuine way. I believe that the client is the best ​authority on their life, and my job is to help you navigate your own path ​through self-discovery and healing.

I’ve worked in the wellness field my whole life. Starting in 2007 as a massage ​practitioner in British Columbia, I continued my education through the early ​2010s, moving across the country to Kitchener,

Ontario, where I now reside. Over the following years, I became a registered massage therapist and a 500-hour ​yoga teacher, and in 2023 I completed my Master's degree in Counseling and Psychotherapy with distinction ​from Yorkville University. The current era of my career is focused on better understanding the tools and ​science behind nervous system regulation and cultivating a connection between body and mind.

While I pride myself on being professional, I am a human first. I have had my own struggles with the effect of ​life’s challenges and transitions on my mental health. In my late 20s, an important romantic relationship ended, ​which led to a major cross-country move and a commitment to self-discovery. I was also diagnosed with ADHD ​in my late 30s, which required me to learn new self-regulation and coping skills .

Additionally, I have experienced the grief and loss of providing palliative care ​to family members. I share this to help you understand that I, too, have lived ​experiences of incredible change, challenge, and bereavement. I believe these ​experiences add to my empathic abilities, and my own personal journey is one ​of the reasons I decided to become a therapist.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time going on walks in the forest with my ​dog, Leia. Movement has always been a part of my life, and I enjoy running, ​yoga, strength training, and biking. I also love to travel, exploring new places ​and experiences with my spouse.
