My Approach
Couples Therapy
I support couples at all phases of relationships. Whether you want to deepen the felt experience of love and intimacy, lay the foundations for a successful partnership, navigate transitions, process ruptures, repair trust, enhance communication, align goals, rebuild friendship, or get closure, couples therapy offers a structured and compassionate place to do that work with connection and care. Drawing from Gottman Method Couples Therapy, we will work to transform conflict, connect with your love maps, and move towards your dreams for the future.
Individual Therapy
I support individuals in building loving, supportive relationships with themselves. Together, we will identify, nourish, and celebrate your strengths, process and unburden your wounds, navigate your stressors, and grow your confidence. Drawing on Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Parts Work, EMDR, Solutions-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and arts-based practices, we will discover the strategies that work best for you in connecting you with the fulfilment and self-love you deserve.
If you’re looking for a place to speak more freely, understand yourself more deeply, or care for a relationship that matters to you, this practice is here to meet you with steadiness and Strength in Heart. Healing may not happen all at once, but it can begin in a space where you feel seen, accompanied, and safe enough to tell the truth. I offer the first full one hour session for free. Reach out via the contact form above, or book online here.
My Story
My name is Gwendolyn, which refers to the blessed light of the changing moon. In therapy, my role is to support you in finding and reflecting your light. I’m a story-listener: someone who pays attention not only to what has happened, but also to what matters, what hurts, what persists, and what still hopes. I hold reverence for the complexity of life and trust that even in pain, there is wisdom worth listening for.
I am a settler of Scottish, Welsh, English, and French ancestry, grateful to live and play on the unceded territories of the Anishinaabeg, Chonnonton, and Haudenosaunee peoples. Cultural humility, relational accountability, and Indigenist Indigenizing are core, expanding values in my work.
My academic background is in psychology and life sciences, and I am currently pursuing a Master of Social Work (MSW) graduate professional degree. Across my professional development, I have explored Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Solutions-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and arts-based practices. I am an ever-collecting, practicing, sharer of knowledge. My goal is to weave these learnings into a therapy space that feels human, attuned, and collaborative.
As a therapist-in-training, I am deeply grateful for the expert supervision I receive from Carla Mae Leuschen, MSW and Scarlet Jaxen, MSW. Their ongoing guidance encourages my reflection, accountability, learning, and ensures that the care you receive is rooted not just in my love for this work, but also in clinical responsibility and professional growth.
Aligned with my values, I offer affordable, accessible counselling virtually across Ontario and British Columbia. First appointments are free, individuals are $35, and couples are $70. If my approach resonates with your dreams for the future, reach out to me via the contact button below, or book online here for your free appointment.
I look forward to witnessing your story. May your day be kind to you. Thank you for being here.
With so much warmth,
Gwendolyn
