Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MA), RP(Q)
I believe in taking a holistic, client-centered approach to therapy, where the unique needs of each individual guide the treatment process. My goal is to create a supportive and safe environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings, gain valuable insights, and develop effective coping strategies. Whether navigating life transitions, facing relationship challenges, or addressing addictive behaviors, I am committed to helping clients build resilience and achieve lasting positive change, empowering them to lead a more fulfilling and balanced life.
Personally, I understand what it is like to grow up in a difficult family which resulted in much trauma. As a young adult, I made a series of problematic choices which included abusive relationships, alcohol and drug abuse, and general neglect of myself. I realized that my trauma was not my fault but healing from it, so that I no longer suffered and passed that suffering onto others, was my responsibility. My wellness journey has been long and hard fought, and continues today and will forever more. The work is necessary, as all healing is possible. My hope is to share both my personal and professional knowledge and experiences with others to help guide them on their own journeys towards their own healing.

Our mission at McDowall is to provide hope, health empowerment and to encourage personal responsibility so individuals, no matter how challenging their circumstances, become positive agents of change during their process of psychological and physical recovery. We are here to help!
I am warm, practical, empathetic, and unapologetically myself in my practice. I put the client first and used my lived experience with ADHD and being a sensitive person in helping clients with these descriptions. While directive work has a place in my practice, inner work, emotional processing, and value-affirmative interventions have a place in my practice which makes my practice distinctive.
My therapeutic approach is centered on empathy and collaboration. My practice integrates trauma-informed care with a variety of modalities, including mindfulness, solution-focused strategies, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and somatic therapy. I focus on creating a safe, inclusive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly.
Together, we’ll work to empower you, cultivate self-compassion, and support your personal growth and healing. I offer a free consultation to ensure we’re the right fit, and if not, I’ll refer you to another skilled professional on our team.

Since embarking on my training in psychotherapy in 2003, I have continually encountered evidence reaffirming the crucial role of the therapeutic relationship in facilitating positive outcomes. Together, we can establish and nurture a trusting therapeutic alliance, where your feelings and thoughts are not only valued but also progressively understood with increasing accuracy and awareness. This holds true for both individuals and couples seeking therapy.
I provide a compassionate, non-judgemental space for you to freely express yourself and explore your challenges. I take a collaborative, client-centred approach to therapy and I will work with you to develop a unique treatment plan that meets your individual needs. My goal as a therapist is to facilitate your healing and growth by helping you to rediscover your own innate strengths.
When you spend a lot of time worrying, overthinking or dealing with overwhelming thoughts, it can feel unmanageable and impact your life in a negative way. You might be avoiding situations that make you worry or feel anxious, have a hard time sleeping, feel not good enough or do things in a certain way to keep the anxiety manageable in the moment. Therapy can help you learn ways to manage and cope with stress, worry, low self-confidence, overwhelming thoughts and OCD.
