Virtual psychotherapy across Ontario

A warm, collaborative space to make sense of what you are carrying.
I work with adults who want a place to pause, feel heard and move toward greater steadiness or self-understanding. Therapy is client-led and paced with you, with practical tools or deeper exploration depending on what you need.
What we may work on
Space for the whole story.
You do not need perfect words or a clear plan before beginning. We can start with what feels heaviest now and build an approach around your experience, priorities and pace.
Trauma and abuse recovery
Support after difficult or harmful experiences, including sexual harm, with attention to safety, choice and your pace.
Grief and loss
Bereavement, anticipatory grief and the changes to identity, relationships and daily life that loss can bring.
Anxiety and depression
Overwhelm, low mood, stress, self-criticism and building coping tools that fit your actual life.
Identity and belonging
Self-acceptance, 2SLGBTQIA+ experiences, body image, spirituality and making room for more of who you are.
Life and workplace pressure
Transitions, work-life balance, imposter syndrome, confidence and the expectations placed on you.
Boundaries and relationships
Recognizing your needs, communicating them and changing patterns that leave you depleted or disconnected.
Treatment approach
Warm, honest and shaped around you.
I believe therapy works best when you feel heard, respected and able to move at your own pace. I will follow your lead while offering reflection, questions, practical tools and gentle accountability when those are useful.
Depending on your goals, I may draw from person-centred, emotion-focused, trauma-focused, ACT, CBT, mindfulness, narrative, somatic and strengths-based approaches. We can focus on immediate coping, deeper self-understanding or both.
I want to be the kind of person my younger self needed.
Maeve, in her own words
Background
Experience across community and mental-health settings.
I bring nearly a decade of experience across healthcare, non-profit, mental-health and addictions settings. My work has included supporting people navigating trauma, stress, anxiety, depression and major life transitions.
I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario and a member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. I bring lived experience with depression and anxiety to a grounded practice that makes room for honesty and gentle humour—without pressure or toxic positivity.
