Hey there, I’m Maddy!

I’m a Registered Psychotherapist and Art Therapist committed to helping adults learn how to build fulfilling relationships with themselves and others. My work focuses on honouring the adaptive defences that have gotten you this far and exploring new skills to live a burden free life. I have experience working with adults and older adults in both clinical and community settings in Ontario. I provide virtual individual therapy and primarily focus in working with folks experiencing depression, anxiety, eating disorders, body dysmorphia, mood disorders, and grief and loss.

From a place of compassion, I will support you as we unlock inner resources that you didn’t know were there (they are!), honour your adaptive strengths that have gotten you this far and explore new skills and systems of coping that will assist you in feeling more balanced and resourced. 

I use an eclectic therapeutic approach to best meet your needs and goals. This may include talking through current challenges, identifying patterns from the past or building skills for the future. My strength-based and attachment-focused approach encompasses Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotion Focused Therapy (IFS), and Mindfulness.

If talk-based therapy isn’t your thing, I have experience supporting people through experiential therapies like Art Therapy. As an Art Therapist, I trained at the Toronto Art Therapy Institute with a research focus on exploring the intergenerational effects of eating disorders. I enjoy witnessing clients tap into their creative side to access memories and experiences that may otherwise be painful to articulate with words. 

Outside of the therapeutic space, I enjoy engaging in self-nurturing activities like collaging, interior decorating, gardening and watching reality TV.
