Registered Psychotherapist
MACP, RP
Certified Trauma Professional (CCTP), IFS-informed

Hello! My name is Chloe and I am a Registered Psychotherapist who provides support to people who want to reduce their anxiety, stop over thinking, learn to set clear boundaries with loved ones or improve relationship communication in general and those who struggle with perfectionism and self-love. I offer psychotherapy services both in person (Burlington) and online (across Ontario) for people ages 16 years and older.

My Work and Areas of Interest

My training has been focused around providing psychotherapy through trauma-informed and attachment-based lenses. I am deeply passionate about supporting those who identify as people-pleasers and who struggle with boundaries and codependency in their relationships. My goal is to help individuals identify and explore the attachment-based wounds they have experienced throughout their life and to empower them to be able to make conscious, adaptive choices in their relationships moving forward. Part of this work may include helping you get in touch with your inner child and exploring what needs may have gone unnoticed and unmet in your childhood. Essentially, I aim to provide a safe and supportive place for you and all the unique parts of yourself to show up, in addition to providing you with helpful tools for you to work towards providing yourself with the love, support and compassion you may have been lacking in your earlier life experiences. 

I primarily work from an attachment-based lens and add in elements of parts work, internal family systems (IFS) therapy – informed, emotion-focused therapy, and mindfulness. I also draw from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT) to support my clients in developing coping skills and strategies to help facilitate their healing and progress.

I am also a Clinical Certified Trauma Professional (CCTP) and have training in sensorimotor techniques including 4 blinks, which is a flash technique that supports individuals with difficult memories and intrusive thoughts and/or flashbacks. Additionally, I incorporate parts work when working with trauma by helping individuals to explore and recognize the parts of themselves that may have been rejected or neglected, and to repair missing experiences in their life.

A little bit about me

I am a life-long resident of Burlington. When I was 14 years old, I went through some difficult life changes, and I ended up trying therapy for the first time to try to seek some support. The concept of talking through a problem with an unbiased professional and how comforting and healing that could be really blew my teenage mind! People in my life were encouraging and said that I had a natural ‘knack’ for listening and supporting. The goal of becoming a mental health care provider resonated with me in such a special way that this profession has been my main career goal ever since.

While completing my master’s in counselling psychology, I also volunteered and worked in different areas of mental health services. I have worked with the Reach Out Centre for Kids in Halton as a youth mentor for youths in need and helped them develop healthy social skills and self-esteem. I also have experience in providing one-on-one counselling and mentoring for at-risk, young women in crisis situations. I have supported them in finding necessary resources in the community and in developing critical thinking and positive social skills to improve their ability to make healthy and productive choices.

Feeling ready to reach out?

Every person that I have met during my time working in mental health care has one thing in common: they know their life can be better, but they’ve reached a point where all the ways they’ve been trying to cope on their own are just not working as well anymore. That’s where seeing a psychotherapist can help.

It takes great courage to take the first step in seeking support. My role is to walk alongside you in your journey towards wellness, offering gentle guidance, support and empathy. It would be an honour to help you uncover the strength and resilience you have always had within you, but maybe have not recognized.
