Some of my highlights

Carrie is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (#15822) and holds a Masters degree in Counselling Psychology and a degree in Elementary Education. Carrie enjoyed working with children and families as an educator in public and independent school systems in Canada, as well as teaching internationally before turning her focus to counselling. She has completed additional post-graduate training in Expressive Play Therapy and Sand Play Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and the Developmental Model of Couples therapy.

Carrie considers it a privilege to partner with children, adolescents and adults to support emotional, relational and mental health needs. She works with individuals, couples and families. Carrie’s approach to therapy is person-centred, solution-focused and strength-based.

Carrie specializes in child and youth therapy, with extensive training in expressive play therapy. Children connect, communicate and develop through play, and providing therapeutic support through play can be especially helpful for children when they cannot find the words to describe what they are thinking or feeling. Children and adolescents often come to therapy needing to work on self-regulation skills, so she works with them to make mind, body, emotion connections in order to increase the awareness that also supports behavior change and coping skills. Through healthy connection and attachment, Carrie supports children and adolescents as they learn to see things and express themselves in healthier ways, become more empathetic and resilient, and uncover problem-solving skills.

On a more personal note, Carrie is happily married and has two wonderful young adult children. She’s also smitten with her hilarious cat who never fails to bring a smile to her face.
