About Olivia

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I completed my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Trent University, Post-Graduate Certificate in Brain Disorders Management from Mohawk College, and Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University.

I bring many years of experience supporting neurodiverse populations and post secondary young adults addressing concerns related to anxiety, depression, executive functioning, life transitions, self-esteem, stress/burnout, and relationship challenges. I hold a strong interest offering compassionate care to women managing health conditions such as PCOS and endometriosis. I hold a personal connection to both reproductive health conditions and would love to help other women going through the same journey.

During my time outside of the therapy room, I enjoy spending time with my cat, family, friends, and partner. Some of my hobbies include yoga, weight training, reading, exploring new places, being out in nature, and playing video games.

My Approach

I draw from a diverse range of well-established, evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Solution-Focused Therapy

  • Narrative Therapy

  • Person-Centered Therapy

  • Trauma-Focused CBT

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)

  • Somatic Techniques

  • Compassion-Focused Therapy.

Rather than adhering rigidly to one model, I integrate these approaches interchangeably, tailoring our methods to meet the unique needs of each client. My work is always collaborative and goal-oriented—clients are active participants in setting goals and shaping the direction of therapy. This flexible and personalized approach helps ensure that each individual receives the support that is most effective and meaningful for them to help them bloom into the person they desire to be.
