Meet Maureen! Maureen brings a unique perspective with a Cognitive Behavioural, trauma-informed approach and over 2 decades as a Registered Nurse. With extensive additional training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, EMDR (adaptive processing), Mindfulness, trauma, perinatal mental health, emotional eating, anxiety, depression and OCD, her counselling is rooted in evidence-based practice. Maureen holds a master’s in counselling psychology (MACP) and is a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), maintains her RN through the Canadian Association of Registered Nurses, and is certified as an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant).

In Maureen’s view, the therapeutic relationship should be authentic, safe, and supportive of change. She believes the connection between therapist and client is the cornerstone of the counselling journey. Maureen feels honored to share in her clients’ experiences, offering hope, understanding, and encouragement through challenges and triumphs. She focuses on nurturing individuals’ resilience and strengths, firmly believing in their ability to heal. The basis of EMDR therapy is the brain’s remarkable capacity for healing; this research-based approach is brought forward in each session with Maureen. Clarity of the treatment plan is emphasized with between-session information sent to you by Maureen, specific to topics covered.
