Katie is a Registered Social Worker with a Master’s degree in Developmental Psychology and a Graduate Diploma in Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy. She is also a Certified Play Therapist through the Canadian Association for Play Therapy, bringing both advanced training and heartfelt compassion to her work with children and families.

Katie’s approach is grounded in person-centred, attachment-based, and Jungian-informed frameworks. She meets children at their developmental level and honours their natural capacity for healing through play. Her work is especially informed by a strong understanding of how trauma, grief, and stress impact a child’s nervous system.

Katie has supported many children through experiences such as trauma, abuse, anxiety, grief, and school-related stress. She creates a therapeutic space that feels safe, welcoming, and emotionally supportive, allowing children to express themselves freely and authentically.
