About Judy

I am a registered psychotherapist providing counselling to adults and couples in Kitchener. My work is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and a deep respect for each person’s lived experience.

People often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. I offer a space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin to make sense of what you’re carrying — at your own pace, and in your own way.

Experience & Training

I hold a Master’s degree in psychotherapy and am a Registered Psychotherapist. Over the years, I have worked in a range of community and clinical settings, including hospice and psycho-educational group work.

My experience has given me a strong appreciation for the complexity of loss, change, and emotional pain — as well as the resilience people bring with them, often without realizing it.

I continue to deepen my practice through ongoing learning and professional development, including training in EMDR.

My Approach

At the heart of my work is a client-centred, relational approach. I believe meaningful change begins when people feel safe enough to speak honestly and to explore their experiences with care rather than judgment.

In our work together, I focus on listening deeply, asking thoughtful questions, and supporting reflection and insight. Therapy is not about fixing or rushing toward solutions, but about understanding what has shaped you and discovering what feels possible moving forward.

Why I Do This Work

I am continually moved by people’s capacity for reflection, courage, and growth, even during difficult seasons of life. Supporting others as they navigate anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions is a responsibility I hold with care and humility.

Therapy, at its best, is a collaborative process — one that honours your story and supports you in reconnecting with yourself.
