Hi everyone, my name is Mae, and I am an unlicensed student intern. I view therapy as a supportive process where individuals can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a safe and non-judgmental environment. My interest in mental health developed early on and has continued to grow through both academics and personal insight into the benefits of therapy. I am passionate about helping others access that same sense of understanding, empowerment, and meaningful change.
My approach to counselling is collaborative, compassionate, and client-centered. As a student counsellor, I value creating a space where clients feel safe to explore their experiences at their own pace. My work is primarily informed by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I also draw from person-centered and strengths-based approaches, tailoring sessions to meet each individual’s unique needs and goals.
My aim is to support clients in developing a deeper understanding of themselves and their experiences, while building the tools and confidence needed to navigate challenges. I hope to empower individuals to make changes that align with their values and goals. I am particularly interested in working with anxiety, overthinking, and stress, as well as self-esteem and relationship concerns. I also enjoy supporting individuals who are navigating change, uncertainty, or feeling stuck.
I believe that everyone deserves a safe and supportive space to reflect, grow, and create the change they seek in their lives. It is a privilege to be part of that process and to support individuals on their unique journeys.

I am a registered psychotherapist (qualifying) with a background in public education, as a teacher for children aged 5- to 18-years-old. My life and career experiences have helped shape me into an empathic, non-judgemental person who strongly believes that everyone has the ability to reach their full potential if given the support and opportunity.
As a therapist, I take an eclectic approach that explores your beliefs about yourself and other people as well as your physical experiences. I use a combination of CBT, somatic approaches, client-centered, and emotion- and solution-focused therapies to support you in achieving your goals. Whether you are hoping to process past trauma, or you are dealing with current anxiety and overwhelm, I am here to support you.
My professional learnings include cognitive behavioural approaches (CBT) for individuals who are neurodivergent, dialectic behavioural therapy (DBT) gender and sexuality affirming practices, inclusion of multicultural perspectives, trauma processing and integration, polyvagal theory, emotionally-focused therapy (EFIT) and emotional freedom therapy (EFT), solution-focused therapy (SFT), internal family systems (IFS), somatic and mindfulness approaches, and attachment-based approaches. I also have training and certification in non-violent crisis intervention strategies and working with personality disorders.
I look forward to meeting with you for a free consultation to discuss how I can support you on your journey to wellbeing.
