Hi. I’m Meaghan.

I am passionate about supporting people through their healing journey and maintaining their mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being. With a background in teaching, specifically Special Education, I believe everyone can reach their potential and achieve their goals. Therefore, I use an empathetic, collaborative, and strengths-based approach to build strong relationships with my clients to understand their needs and facilitate growth. I strive to create a safe and nonjudgemental space where you feel comfortable sharing, exploring, discovering, and taking brave steps toward wellness. Using a trauma-informed and compassionate lens, I draw from an eclectic group of techniques to tailor sessions to you. My goal is to empower you to take your wellness into your own hands by deepening your understanding of yourself and building strategies to support yourself during times of need. 

I am currently completing my Master's in Counselling Psychology through Yorkville University and am completing my practicum at Woodstar Counselling under the supervision of Danielle Culbert Ritsema. I am registered with the CRPO (College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario) as a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). I am also a qualified teacher (OCT) and have worked in Education for ten years, most recently in elementary school Special Education programs. I have extensive experience working with primary-aged children, neurodiversity, and members of Indigenous communities. I work with children and adults struggling with a variety of concerns, such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and emotional dysregulation.

When not practising counselling, I enjoy participating in all things outdoors - skiing, hiking, cycling, snowshoeing, etc, - as being in nature replenishes my soul. I also have a great love of music and reading.

Who I work with:

• Children aged 7+

• Youth

• Adults

• People struggling with issues such as: depression, anxiety, low self-esteem

• Neurodiverse individuals
