One thing our team has in common is that we help people from all walks of life who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, angry, powerless and hopeless. Whether you experience relational difficulties or often feel triggered, drained, shut down, or are avoiding important aspects of your life, we can help! Our clients tend to describe themselves as having difficulty prioritizing, recognizing or communicating their needs. This impacts their health, relationships and overall quality of life. When they come they are often at what feels like a breaking point. Together we learn about their lives, traumas, strengths and more.

Each of our therapists was hand-picked for their passion about coming alongside clients on their journey into parts of yourself and psyche that long to be heard. We provide support with managing difficulties and digging deeper to the root cause, so that transforming long-standing patterns is within reach. If you are interested in self-exploration, coping better and managing the root causes of anxiety, perfectionism, trauma or depression, then you are in the right place and we would be honoured to be a part of your journey! You deserve a meaningful and peaceful life.

Meet Christine

I am a physician-turned psychotherapist, who is passionate about the mind-body connection and trauma-informed care. I use an eclectic approach drawing on Emotion-focused, Cognitive and Behavioural Approaches, Polyvagal therapy, Narrative, Internal Family Systems, Inner child work and EMDR. I draw on my knowledge of the human body and psyche, leveraging both these realms to create holistic treatment plans and targeting true and lasting change. I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the CRPO and a medical graduate with a passion for mental health. I also hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. Prior to undergoing my Masters-level training, I underwent numerous psychiatry elective rotations including in Adult Psychiatry and Geriatric Psychiatry at the London Health Sciences Centre. I am also an EMDR-trained clinician passionate about the mind-body connection.

I founded Meaningfully Connected Counselling hand-picking therapists who are warm, empathic, skilled life-long learners. Each of our therapists bring an eclectic approach and are knowledgeable and skilled at engaging all parts of the client (mind, body, spirit and soul) to facilitate breakthroughs and changes. We believe that authentic human connection is at the very heart of healing.
