My name is Charlotte, and I’m a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and a professional member of the Ontario Society of Registered Psychotherapists (OSRP).

As a queer-identifying Registered Psychotherapist, I’ve always been fascinated by the various intricacies that take place throughout the lives of queer individuals. Queer people often face specific challenges that cis-het people may not fully encounter in their lives or understand completely. Although I believe being a queer therapist allows for a bit of a baseline understanding of these experiences, I still lean into curiosity in my sessions, and believe we are all unique with our stories. The goal of my sessions is for you to better understand yourself and what you’re going through, so we can work to make positive change in your life.

Connection is important to me, in both my work and personal life. In my work life, I not only provide psychotherapy for individuals, but I also provide a space for queer therapists to develop their own careers, allowing for more individuals to find that perfect fit. Every person is unique, and finding a therapist fit for your unique needs can make the journey that much more valuable. I see the therapeutic relationship as the starting point for the therapeutic journey - therapy is an investment and a commitment, and I see the relationship that we create as one that will be significant to both of us. Our lives are based around connection, so why should the therapy process be any different?

When I’m not working, I also lean into connection - I spend most of my time with my dog Cascade, my cats Tom and Yuki, and the many lovely people who make me feel whole. I love spending time in the company of others, whether it’s snuggling up with my dog on the couch or meeting up with some friends or family for dinner. Connecting with others is important, but that’s not to say I don’t enjoy my alone time! When I’m alone, I enjoy listening to and playing music, going for hikes, taking naps, doing yoga, and cooking up new recipes.

I completed an undergraduate honours degree in biochemistry and neuroscience. I remained on the science path after my degree, but eventually, I realized this path wasn’t bringing me happiness. At that point, I leaned into my interest in human psychology and my helping nature and pursued a career in a field that satisfied my desire for connection. I began my Masters of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University and started my private practice shortly after graduating. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to explore their emotions and experiences. Whether it’s overcoming current hurdles, or working through past trauma, I believe that we are all capable of making positive change. My areas of focus include trauma, relationships, neurodivergence, ethical non-monogamy, personality disorders, and gender exploration. Using an integrated approach stemming from attachment-based theories, and leaning into modalities such as IFS, ACT, relational and psychodynamic therapy, I work with clients to better understand the root of their problems and patterns, and find their path towards growth and healing.
