Are you seeking support as you adjust to a new life stage? Is your child struggling with anxiety or adjusting to change? Perhaps you are faced with your own anxiety, depression, or relationship problems. You might be feeling alone and unsure of how to make things better.

Therapy helps you manage difficult times and thrive in the face of them. Everyone has the capacity to reach their full potential and become the best they can be.

Hi, I'm Makeda. I’m a registered psychotherapist and doctoral student at Yorkville University, where I completed my Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology. My approach emphasizes the mutual development of goals for therapy, working to create a customized treatment to meet individual needs.

I offer individual and family therapy for those aged 7+ and have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Triple-P Family in Transition, Triple-Fearless and Crisis Intervention.

I believe in an integrative, dynamic, and holistic approach to mental health. My experience spans across a variety of settings, including specialty clinics, private practice and crisis intervention and clinical experience includes working with individuals and groups across the life span with issues such as depression, anxiety disorders, behavioural and discipline challenges, PTSD, chronic pain and chronic illnesses, self-esteem issues, anger and stress management, conflict management, family and relationship issues, suicide and risk assessment.
