About Mandy

Pronouns: She/Her

I have worked with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, life changes, childhood trauma, attachment issues, grief, ADHD, parenting and family problems. For Couples work I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). EFT was created by Sue Johnson and Les Greenberg over 30 years ago and research has shown it is effective. EFT helps couples through strengthening of their attachment bonds so that they feel safe and secure with their partner. EFT helps couples with their negative interaction patterns by de-escalating conflict, slowing things down and working with couples to help them express how they think and feel to each other. We will work together to resolve the relationship distress by deepening your understanding of what is going on underneath the surface for yourself and your partner and help you to connect in a respectful and loving manner.

  • After graduating from Wilfrid Laurier University, I began my career in Accounting and Finance, however after 10 years in the industry I decided to change direction. I returned to school and completed a second undergraduate degree in Psychology, Neuroscience and Behaviour from McMaster University. My undergraduate degree inspired me to pursue a Master of Social Work and to learn more about brain science and incorporate it into my work. I completed my Master of Social Work specializing in Children and Families at The University of Toronto. 

    My therapeutic practice is informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Gottman Method, Family Systems Theory and Self Compassion. I am training in Somatic Experiencing and have completed have completed Intermediate Level 2, with my training starting in September 2022 and completing in April 2025. I believe in working from a client(s) centered and collaborative approach, which means you will drive the therapeutic process and I am here as a guide. I am also continuously taking courses to ensure I am able to offer clients a variety of therapeutic options. I believe it is important to be curious and non-judgmental and I have found that when clients feel heard and seen it begins the healing process. It would be my privilege to join you in your journey of healing and self-discovery.
