EXPERIENCE

Hi, I'm Fiona, a Registered Clinical Counsellor and doctoral candidate, I started working in the mental health field over 20 years ago, first on the Crisis Lines and various non-profit agencies, and later for the local health authority's, supporting people with substance use disorders, and youth experiencing suicidal ideation.  As my studies and strengths evolved, I began seeing more and more people with diverse trauma histories, until I found my most natural fit.  

​

I have now been in private practice for over 15 years and work almost exclusively with people who've experienced any measure of grief or trauma. 

Of particular interest to me is perinatal stress and trauma, post-partum depression and anxiety, and/or subsequent parenting and relationship challenges.  This could look like infertility, miscarriage, loss of a child, PCOS, mood instability and disorders, and many other experiences that can come up during the pre,  perinatal and post-partum period.  

​

My approach to therapy is a holistic one, and I find using a combination of cognitive and somatic strategies the most effective, especially when navigating and reconciling grief and loss.  

​

When I'm not practicing, I like to spend time in the mountains, hiking or skiing.  I play tennis and do pilates, love to read (about 1 book a week!) and be with family and good friends.
