Deanna's Favourite Therapy Quote
“It’s a privilege to be able to bear witness to someone’s story when they may not have had the chance to tell it before.” -Lindy Alexander
I welcome you as you begin this process of inner healing and fulfillment. I appreciate the strength it takes to reflect on the challenges you’re facing, and I want you to know you’re not alone in this. Together, we can create a safe and restorative space where you can explore your strengths and develop new skills in navigating life’s issues. Our time together is not just about finding solutions to immediate concerns but also about nurturing a deeper sense of peace and contentment that resonates from within.
Practice Areas
My professional background encompasses diverse practice areas, allowing me to provide customized support that aligns with my clients' needs. With a strong commitment and a background in trauma-informed care, I support and empower individuals who have experienced sexual violence, abuse and exploitation, helping them navigate their path to healing. I also treat a variety of areas including depression, anxiety, trauma, mood, coping skills, attachment, youth issues, life transitions, burnout, body image, relationships, parenthood, fertility issues, pregnancy loss and self-compassion.
Education & Experience
I have a Psychology degree with a minor in Sexuality Studies and an Honours Social Work degree, both from Carleton University. I also hold a Masters in Counselling Psychology through Yorkville University and am currently working under the Clinical Supervision of Sara Coyle, MSW.
Throughout my professional journey, I have worked with diverse populations and supported a variety of issues including people who are experiencing homelessness, individuals involved with the criminal justice system, child welfare and anti-human trafficking.
Therapeutic Approach
In my practice, I utilize a variety of clinical modalities to best meet the unique needs of each individual. With a relational approach at the core, I draw from psychodynamic theories, humanistic principles, and trauma-informed practices to create a safe and supportive environment. By integrating elements of CBT and DBT, I also help clients gain insight into their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while equipping them with practical skills for coping and self-regulation. Within the clinical frameworks, we can form a therapeutic alliance which serves as the foundation of our work together, providing a nurturing space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without fear of judgment. Through our collaborative partnership, we can explore what approaches feel right for you on your journey to inner peace.
About Deanna
When I have the opportunity to slow down and enjoy life's pleasures, I find myself outside, checking out events in the city and being with loved ones. I love to be outside in the summer and hibernate in the winter. I would consider myself a foodie and am always excited to cook a delicious meal or try a new restaurant. Moving my body is important and I engage in yoga, hikes and cycling. Rest is just as important and I do this by watching reality tv shows, reading or listening to a podcast.
