Hi there!
​
I’m Joelle, an Intern Psychotherapist currently completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. I’m looking forward to supporting people as they navigate life’s challenges, big or small.
​
My approach to therapy is grounded in a person-centred perspective, where I prioritize creating a space that feels safe, supportive, and genuinely non-judgmental. I believe that each person’s story is unique, and I tailor my approach to meet your individual needs, goals, and experiences. I’m drawn to approaches like Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which allow us to explore your story, recognize your strengths, and build practical tools that feel meaningful in your day-to-day life.
​
As a mom, I understand how complex and overwhelming life can feel at times, as well as the emotional ups and downs that can come with parenting and the postpartum experience. While I have a particular interest in supporting individuals through these stages, I welcome and enjoy working with individuals from all walks of life.
​
In our work together, you can expect a warm, compassionate, and collaborative environment. I value honesty, empathy, and respect, and I see therapy as a partnership where your voice and autonomy are important. My hope is to offer a space where you feel heard, understood, supported, and empowered in your therapeutic journey.
Therapeutic Approach
I work with you as a whole person — honouring your story and what matters most to you. I draw from evidence-based practices like client-centred therapy, Narrative Therapy, CBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy, and tailor them to fit your life. Together, we'll set goals that reflect your values and vision. Therapy becomes a space where challenges aren't failures; they're part of the process. My role is to help you build resilience, learn from setbacks, and move toward the growth that feels meaningful to you.
