MACP, CCC (Pending), RN, IBCLC

Meet Maureen! Bringing 22 years of experience as a Registered Nurse, Maureen offers a truly holistic approach to care. Certified as an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) and with additional training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy, perinatal mental health, and adolescents, her counselling is rooted in evidence-based practice. This spring, she will complete training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Maureen is registered for psychotherapy through the College of Registered Nurses of Alberta (CRNA) and holds a master’s in counseling psychology (MACP). In Maureen’s view, the therapeutic relationship should be authentic, safe, and supportive of change. She believes that the connection between therapist and client is the cornerstone of the counseling 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. Together, she aims to challenge conventional views of “normal,” labels, expectations, and what defines each individual.
