Psychotherapy

Individual psychotherapy involves working collaboratively with a registered healthcare professional. Psychotherapy, primarily conducted through meaningful conversations, is tailored to improve and maintain your mental health and well-being. Together, we'll work towards fostering positive transformations in your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and social functioning.

Hi, I’m Carly — a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO #14532). My mission is simple: to offer compassionate, client-centered support as you explore your experiences and move toward healing and growth.

I specialize in guiding individuals through common life challenges, including anxiety, depression, relationships, grief, self-esteem, and support around gender, sexuality, and identity. Together, we’ll cultivate a safe, non-judgmental space where we can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences.

At the heart of my practice is building a trusting relationship with you through empathy and attentive listening. I believe in tailoring our work to your unique needs, drawing from evidence-based approaches such as Emotionally Focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Compassion-Focused Therapy.

I bring warmth, curiosity, and a grounded presence to each session. When I’m not in the therapy room, you’ll likely find me recharging in nature or spending time with my dog—moments that remind me of the importance of connection and presence.

I’d be honoured to support you as you take meaningful steps toward healing and self-discovery.

Beginning therapy is a brave and personal decision. I recognize how challenging it can be to reach out for support, and I’m here to offer a space where you feel genuinely respected, heard, and supported.

As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) in Ontario, my approach is grounded in collaboration and curiosity. I believe that therapy should reflect your unique strengths, experiences, and goals. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, I work with you to explore what’s meaningful in your life and help you move toward lasting, self-directed change.

My clinical work draws from several evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness. These modalities allow me to support clients with managing difficult emotions, building resilience, clarifying values, and navigating change in ways that feel authentic and sustainable.

Clients often describe my style as warm, down-to-earth, and engaged. I aim to create a space where you can show up as yourself—without pressure or judgment—and explore the areas of life that matter most to you. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking to understand yourself better, I’m here to walk alongside you as you move forward with intention and self-compassion.
