Katrina is a seasoned and highly experienced counsellor who brings warmth, compassion, and a wealth of knowledge to her work with clients. As both a Registered Social Worker and Registered Psychotherapist, she has extensive experience supporting individuals and couples, as well as children, teens, and families, through a wide range of life’s challenges. Couples counselling is an important part of Katrina’s practice, and she incorporates the Gottman Method to help couples strengthen communication, work through conflict, rebuild connection, and create healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

Katrina also works extensively with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, grief and loss, ADHD, low self-esteem, parenting concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. She understands that reaching out for counselling can sometimes feel overwhelming and strives to create a comfortable, non-judgmental environment where clients feel heard, understood, and supported.

Clients often describe Katrina as empathetic, approachable, and easy to talk to. Her counselling style is collaborative and down-to-earth, recognizing that every person brings their own experiences, strengths, and needs to therapy. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, Katrina draws from her experience and a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches to tailor counselling to each client.

Katrina’s therapeutic approaches include Trauma-Informed Therapy, Strengths-Based and Person-Centred approaches, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Katrina’s education includes a BA in Psychology, an Honours Degree in Social Work, a Master’s of Arts in Counselling Psychology, and an Advanced Diploma in Child and Youth Work. Her combination of education, professional experience, and years spent helping people through difficult seasons allows her to meet clients with both clinical knowledge and genuine understanding.

Outside of her professional life, Katrina is a mom and grandmother who values spending time with her children and family. Her own life experience has given her an appreciation for both the joys and challenges that can come with parenting, relationships, changing family dynamics, and navigating different stages of life.

Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, struggling in your relationship, working through something from your past, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of your next step, Katrina will meet you where you are. Her goal is to help you better understand yourself, recognize your strengths, and move toward meaningful and lasting change in a warm, supportive, and safe environment.
